2上帝那里没有现成的果实
三个人千辛万苦找到了上帝，请求他给予帮助。上帝问他们各需要什么。第一个人说他要一座大宅院；第二个人说，他要一个农庄；第三个人说他要一块大金条。上帝说他可以满足他们的需要。于是上帝给了第一个人一堆砖头，给了第二个人一把种子，给了第三个人一把沙子。
No Ready-made Fruit in God’s Hand
Three guys finally got the God through trials and errors. They were eager to ask God for help. Right after the God asked what they want, the first man claim a big courtyard, the second a farmstead, and the third a bar of gold. God promised them. At last, the first man was given a pile of bricks, the second a bag of seed and the third a mass of sand.
3虫子的压力
有这么一种虫子，它的体长还不到一毫米，也许因为在电子显微镜下看起来像一头黑熊，所以人们叫它雄虫。它主要生活在淡水的沉渣，潮湿土壤以及苔藓植物的水膜中。最近日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久发现了一个惊人的现象：当20只小熊虫被放入密封的容器内，在实验室制造的7.5万个大气压下，20只熊虫只有两只死亡，其余的18只安然无恙。7.5万个大气压！它相当于每平方豪米要承受700多千克重物的压力，它足以上淀粉瞬间变性，生米顷刻为熟饭。自然条件下，地球上也只有180千米的地幔深处才拥有如此大的压力。
至今没有人能弄清楚熊虫为何如此能忍。不只是出于对这种超强生命力的尊重还是怀疑，有人叫它地狱之虫。一个长度不超过1毫米的微不足道的虫子，能承受命运给他如此的压力，相比较而言，我们这些自称是高级动物，智慧生命，万物之灵的人呢？在人的现实生活中，有多少小小的心结，小小的压力构成我们所谓的生存压力。在这样的压力下又有多少悲观失落之人将美好的人生称作地狱？现在一比才觉得，其实我们的压力就好比是真空，我饿美女的地狱就是天堂中的天堂。在那一刻，我在心里默默地鞠了一躬，不是为熊虫，而是感谢造物主没有把这样的压力降在人间。
Worm’s Pressure
This is a worm whose body is no less than one millimeter. It is called 熊虫(XC) perhaps for the reason that it looks like a black bear under the microscop. The XC usually habited in the slurry of fresh water, wet soil and the 水膜of moss plants. Recently, there was an amazing news discovered by 日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久: when 20 little XC were placed in a sealed container under the 7.5 万个大气压making in experiment condition, there were only two died and the other 18 have no trouble at all. 7.5 万个大气压, equal to over 700 kilogram stress per square meter, which is powerful enough to它足以上淀粉瞬间变性and the rice ready to eat. In natural condition, this pressure can only be found in the 地幔beneath the earth 180 kilogram.
Till now, nobody have an idea about the tolerance of XC. Someone also call it worm of hell out of admiration or suspicion. A worm, with its length less than one millimeter, is able to bear so heavy stress. Comparatively, we human beings, the so-called advanced animal, wisdom and genius of all, can do that? In our real lives, so much little minds, little stress has made up our living stress. How many pessimistic and disappointed people compare the beautiful life to the miserable hell under this
pressure? By comparing, I suddenly realized that our stress is just like the vacuum and the hell is the heaven in heaven. At that moment, I made a bow in my mind. Not for XC, but for the freedom of this stress in the world made by the creator.
9.豪华大厦意味着衰落
珀金森的―办公大楼法则‖是：某个组织的办公大楼设计得越完美，装饰得越豪华，该组织离解题的时间越进。
他发现，有许多生意兴隆的公司影响巨大的组织都设在不起眼的地方，住在简陋的房屋里，一旦搬进豪华的大厦，便转到衰退的轨道。例如，圣彼得教堂、罗马教堂、梵蒂冈教堂等宗教组织，就是在极盛时期开始修建这些教堂，宗教组织的实力就开始走下坡路了。国际联盟大厦、凡尔赛宫、白金汉宫、英国殖民部办工大楼等政治组织的大楼，都是在落成典礼之后，组织权势便发生大幅度的下降，甚至带来了厄运。
如果珀金森了叫中国历史，肯能会找到更多的例证，比如阿房宫，秦始皇陵等。为什么这些以豪华著称的建筑物，都成了这些组织的―令莫‖了？
珀金森以科学的态度进行如下推测：一个组织在兴旺发达之时。往往紧张而忙碌，没有时间和精力去设计和修建琼楼玉宇，当所有的重要工作都已经完成，想到要修建与其成就相称的大楼时，其时间和精力遍集中到表面功夫上，当某个组织的大楼设计和建造趋向完美之际，她的存在就开始失去意义。完美我的楼堂意味着这定局，而定居意味着终结。摘自《方圆法制》
The Meaning of Wane on the Skyscraper
珀金森‘s rule of business office is : the more perfect designed and more luxury the decoration cornament is, the nearer to its deadline.
He found out that many profitable business companies were all placed at some not so eye-catching locations and in the shady houses. Ever since moved into luxury mansions, these companies may led to its last day/wither away. For example, religious institutions such as 圣彼得教堂、罗马教堂、梵蒂冈教堂, were built from the park of power, and at the exact time, their religious power become weak and even bad fortunes by them.
If 珀金森know Chinese history, then he may find more proofs like 阿房宫，秦始皇陵. I am wondering that why those architecture well-know as luxury al because the ―tomb‖ of their bodies?
With scientific spirit, 珀金森showed us his inference: when an institution is prosperous than never, it was too busy to design and build mansion with enough time and energy, while all key work done and considering to build a large building comparable to its achievements, its time and energy were concentrated on those superficial stuffs. When the design and building work of a constitution was about to complete, it has began to lose its meaning. 完美我的楼堂意味着这定局，而定居意味着终结。摘自《方圆法制》
10.在沉默中面对
最真实，最切己的人生感悟是找不到言辞的。
对于人生最重大的问题，我们没跟人都是能在沉默中独自面对。我们可以一般的谈论爱情、孤独、幸福、苦难、死亡等等，但是，那属于每个人自己的真正意义始终在话语之外。我无法告诉别人我的爱情有多么温柔，我的孤独有多么绝望，我的幸福有多么美丽，我的幸福有多么美丽，我的苦难有多么沉重，我的死
亡有多么荒诞。我只能把这一切藏在心中，我所说出的写出的东西只是先思考的产物，而一切思考在某种意义上都是一种逃避，从最个别的逃向一般的，从命运逃向生活，从沉默的深渊逃向语言的彼岸。如果说他们尚未沦为纯粹的空洞的概念，那也只是因为他们是从沉默中挣扎出来的，身上还散发着深渊里不可名状的事物的七夕。
我不否认人与人之间沟通的可能，但我确信其前提是沉默，而不是言辞。美特林克说得好：沉默的性质解释了一个人灵魂的性质。在不能共享沉默的两个人之间，任何言辞都无法使他们的灵魂发生沟通。对于未曾在沉默中面对过相同问题的人来说，在深刻的哲理也只是一些套话，事实上那些浅薄的读者奇缺分不清深刻的感悟和空洞的感叹，格言和套话，哲理和老生常谈，平淡和平庸，佛性和故弄玄虚的禅机。一个人言辞理解的深度取决于他对沉默理解的深度，归根结底取决于她的沉默，亦即他的灵魂的深度。所以，在我看来，凡有志探究人生真理的人首要功夫便是沉默，在沉默中面对他灵魂中真正属于自己的重大问题。到他有了足够的孕育并因此感到不堪重负的时候，一切言语之门便向他打开了，这是他不但理解了有限的言辞，而且理解了言辞背后的沉默着的背后无限的存在。（摘自《中国社会报》）
Facing the Reality in Silence
The truest and most expressive thought was hardly be expressed.
We all face it alone in silence to the most important thing in life. We can talk occasionally about love, loneliness, happiness, miseries, death and so on, but the true meaning is hard to deliver by words. I cannot tell others how gentle my love is; how desperate my loneliness is; my enjoyable happiness is; how depressive my miseries is; how ridiculous my death is. I have no choice but to hide then deeply in my heart. All what I said and wrote but the product of thinking, while thinking, to some extend, is a kind of escape which from the particular to general, fate to life and the abyss of silence to the bank of language. If they have not become pure/solely and abstract idea, it is merely because they have newly struggled out from the silence and with something hard to tell in their bodies.
I am not to deny the possibility of communication between human beings, but the condition. It is silence, instead of words. 美特林克had an excellent explanation: the nature of silence tells the nature of one‘s soul. There is no any words may have a possibility to make a communication between their soul if the two cannot share the same silence. To those who have not solved the same questions in silence, even profound philosophy is only some polite formulas. In fact, those superficial reader have no ability to identify the profound philosophy and abstract thoughts, proverb and polite formulas, philosophy and 老生常谈, insipid/prosaic and commonplace, the knowledge of Buddha dharma and deceitful trick. One‘s ability in words comprehension is based on his understanding to silence and eternally based on his silence; that is his capacity of soul. Therefore, I insist that the lesson of one who is determined to seek the life philosophy is silence----to face his important problem of sale in silence. Until he has enough accumulation and too tires to bear, all windows opened to him. This is the way that he not only understands the limited words, but also the unlimited information behind the silence of words.
14.容易走的都是下坡路
他在一所大学做教授，90岁的时候，荏苒每天坚持工作8小时，不论春秋冬夏，也不论风霜雨雪。
他的秘书说：―他很衰弱，但是每天逼着自己从住的地方走过两个街口到办公室来，这段路要走一个小时，他却一定要走，因为这使他自觉有成就感。‖有一天，有个大学生从他办公室里出来，捧着一大堆书，一脸不高兴的抱怨：―总是这一套。我问一个和简单的问题，他可以用一个‘是‘或‘否‘回答，却给我十几本书，说可以在这些书里找到我所要的答案。‖
他后来知道了这个学生的抱怨，微笑着说：―这就是我学到的读书方法，艰难费事的方法。那孩子如能好好的钻研这些书，就可以了解这个问题，将来也许能成为一个好律师。‖
这个90岁的老人就是曾任美国哈佛大学法学院院长的庞德。
有一位哲学家说：―你应该每一两天做一些你不想做的事。‖
这是人生进步的基础。
正如另一位哲人所说―容易走的都是下坡路。‖
All Slopes are Easy to Go
He was a professor. At the age of 90, he still work eight hours everyday regardless the season and weather.
His secretary said: ―He is extremely old, but he forced himself walk from his living place to office through two blocks. It would take him an hour, but he insisted to because it makes him get a sense of success. ‖
The other day, an university student step out from his office with a pile of books. He complained emotionally: ―He is always this man. He may answer me just with ?yes‘ or ?no‘ to my question. However, he always gave me dozens of books and suggests me to find the answer. ‖
Later, he knew what this student complained. He told with smile: ―This is the method I have learnt, a hard and troublesome way. If that kid could make full use of those books, he might know his question and m aybe a good lawyer in the future.‖This 90-year-old man was 庞德, who was the president of law college in Haward University.
Once a philosophist said: ―You should do some thing that you don not want to every one or two days.‖
This is the foundation of life progress.
Just like another phlosophist said: ―all slopes are easy to go. ‖
16．公平的分配
一个炎热的下午，两个农民在一棵大树下乘凉。其中一个叫拉姆，另一个叫希亚。两个人都带着美味的面包充当午饭。拉姆带了3个面包，希亚带了5个。正当他们准备吃午饭的时候，一个商人路过此地。
―下午好，两位先生。‖商人向拉姆和希亚问候道。商人看起来又累又饿，所以拉姆和希亚邀请他和他们一起吃午饭。
―但是我们有三个人怎么分这三个面包呢？‖拉姆为难了。
―我们把面包放在一起，再把每个面包切成均等的三块。‖希亚建议道。
把面包切开后，他们把面包平均分成三份，每个人都不多也不少。
吃完面包后，商人坚持要给他们钱。拉姆和希亚推辞不掉，只好收下。
待商人离开后，两人一数金币的数量——8个。
―8个金币，两个人。我们就每人4个金币。‖拉姆说道。
―这不公平。‖西亚大声反对，―我有5个面包，你只有3个。所以我应该拿5个金币，你只能拿3个。‖
拉姆不想争吵，但他也不想给希亚5个金币。
―我们去找村长做裁决。他是个公正的人。‖拉姆说道。
他们来到村长毛尔维的家，把整个事情的经过告诉了他。毛尔维想了很久，最后说：―分配这笔钱的公平办法就是希亚拿7个金币，拉姆拿1个。‖―什么？‖拉姆惊叫道。
―我为什么该得7个？‖希亚也觉得很奇怪。
当毛尔维把他的分配理由解释清楚后，拉姆和希亚打偶没有对这个分配再提出异议。
这真的是一个公平的裁决吗？
要知道毛尔维的裁决是否公平，就要先回答这些问题：
1、8个面包被切成了多少块？
2、每个人吃了多少块面包？
3、拉姆的面包被分成了多少块？
4、拉姆吃了8块面包，还剩几块留给商人？
5、希亚的面包被分成了多上块？
6、希亚吃了8块面包，还剩几块留给商人？
毛尔维决定只给拉姆一个硬币，而给希亚7个，是因为商人吃了8块面包，只有一块是从拉姆的面包中来的，而其余7块都是希亚的。
点示：我们愤愤不平，太多是因为我们只会算计，不会计算。
Just Allocation
In a hot afternoon, two farmers were enjoying the cool under the tree. One farmer called L and the other called X. both carried tasty bread as their lunch. Ltook three bread and X five. A businessman passed by when they were ready to have lunch.
―good afternoon, gentlemen.‖ The businessman greeted L and X. the businessman was tires and hungry. L and X invited him to have dinner together.
―But we three men how to separate three breads? ‖ L confused.
―Let‘s put the breads together, then divide every one into three equal parts.‖ X suggested.
Cutting and dividing the breads, they all got the exact one.
Eating up the breads, the businessman insisted to pay and L and X have no idea but to get it.
When the businessman went away, L and X counted the number of golden bills----eight.
―Eight bills, two person. Four bills every one.‖ L said.
―It‘s unjust,‖ X opposed loudly, ―I had five breads and you just three, so I should get five bills and you three.‖
L reluctant to argue, neither would he gave X five bills.
―Let‘s invite our village manager Morwey‘s house and tell all to him. ‖ Thinking for a while, Morwey replied: ―The just way to distribute these bill is X take seven bills and L one.‖
―Pardon?‖ L screamed.
―Why should I posses seven?‖ Xalso felt strange.
After Morwey explained his reason clearly, both Land X had no dispute on this allocation.
Was this really a just rule?
Answer these questions before you decide whether it was just or not:
1.How many small pieces the eight breads were divided into?
2.How many pieces every one ate?
3.How many small pieces did L‘s breads?
4.How many pieces L left for the businessman after he ate eight?
5.How many small pieces did X‘s breads were divided into?
6.How many pieces X left for the businessman after he ate eight?
The reason that Morwey only gave L one bill and X seven because the businessman ate eight pieces and only one was left from L‘s while other seven pieces from X.
Tips: we always indignant mostly because we are used to scheming, but not counting.
18.事情有多重要
我有一个手提箱要给你，里面有100万美元现金。手提箱放在离你现在住的地方大约1小时车程的一幢大楼上，条件是：你要在2小时内到达那幢大楼。如果在2个小时之内到，我就把皮箱交给你，你就多了100万美元。但是只要你迟到一分钟，你就一分钱都得不到。那么你什么时候出发去拿幢大楼呢？
很多人会回答：―现在就去。‖你呢？
你出发了。跳上你的车，发动，向那幢大楼方向开去。你相当激动，计划着怎样花那100万美元。突然，路上堵车了，你的车子开不动了。你打开收音机，发现在你和那幢大楼之间发生了重大交通事故，你没有别的路可以到达那里。你会怎么办？你会打道回府吗？或者打开车门走出来，走路（跑步或雇用直升飞机或用别的方法）去那幢大楼？
如果你去看牙医，在路上也发生堵车，你肯定会转回家，跟牙医约另一天。
这两种情况为什么会不一样？因为出行的目的是不同的。如果你要做的事情对你非常重要，再大的困难你都会设法克服; 如果你觉得要做的事情不是很重要，遇到困难你就会放弃了。
所以，克服困难的最好的方法，就是把你要做的事情看得非常重要。
How Important It is
There is a suitcase for you with a million US dollar in .
The suitcase is placed in a building away from you about one hour driving. The condition is, you need to get there within two hours. If you did, I will give you the suitcase with a million US dollar. Or if you late for only one minute, nothing will you get. When would you get about?
Many would say: ―Now.‖ will you?
Now you set out. You hurry into your car, start it, drive for the building. You are so excited and wonder what to do about the one million US dollars. All of a sudden, you are stopped by the traffic jam. You turn on the radio and find there is no any way to get there because of the accident on your way. What will you do nest step? Go back? Or step out your car, go to the building on foot (running or employ a helicopter or
other ways)?
If, you are on the way to the dentist‘s office and there is a traffic jam, surely you would turn back and appoit for another time.
Why is there difference between these two thins? Because of the destination. If it is quite important for you, you will conquer it, regardless any hardship; or if yit is not so serious, you may call it a day.
Therefore, the best way to face the difficulty is to make the thing a business. 21.强光也是一堵墙
一位父亲问他正读小学三年级的儿子：―阴天的夜晚，天空中看不到星星，是星星不存在吗？‖
儿子很干脆的回答：―不是。‖
父亲又问：―那位什么我们一颗星星也看不见呢？‖
儿子答：―是云把星星都遮住了。‖
父亲接着又问儿子：―晴空万里的白昼，天空中也看不见星星，是星星不存在吗？‖
儿子有些犹豫，显然不知道该如何回答父亲这个问题。
父亲见儿子答不出，稍停了一下，说：―其实白天星星也存在，它们大都是恒星，永远存在于太空中，只是我们肉眼看不到罢了。‖
儿子好奇地问：―这又是为什么呢？‖
父亲想了一下。告诉儿子说：―是太阳的光太强了，它把所有星星的光都盖住了。‖
在生活中，很多人，很多事，也是如此。因为一个人或一件事所拥有的光环太强，不仅会把这个人或这件事本身的缺点遮住，而且还会把周围其他人或其他事的优点也都遮住，让大家无法看到他周围人的真实面目或其他事的真相。这不是按个人的眼睛出了问题，而是因为对方的光太强了。
很多时候，强光也是一堵墙，是一堵肉眼看不见的墙，又是一堵肉眼无法看过去的墙，他可以迷惑我们正常的眼睛，也可以挡住我们正常的目光。Intense Light, a Wall as Well
A father is asking his son in grade three: ―We cannot find the star in the shady night. Is it not there?‖
His son answered it with clear –cut accent: ―No.‖
The father asked again: ―Then why we cannot see any star?‖
His son replied: ―The cloud hide them.‖
Again the father asked: ―There is no star in the sunny daytime. Where are they?‖Hesitated, his son seemed have no idea to respond.
For a moment, the father said: ―Actually there is yet stars but most of them are恒星,and stay in the universe. It is just we cannot see them with our eyes. ‖His son asked curiously: ―Why?‖
Thinking for a while, the father answered: ―Because the sunlight is too intense, and it shade the stars‘ light.‖
The same goes to many things in our lives. The intense light of one person or one thing, may not only shade its own defects, but also the merits of the person or thing around it and makes it difficult for others to identify the facts besides him. This is not the problem of one‘s eye, but th e intense light.
Most cases, the intense light is a wall, a wall that cannot see and stride with our eyes. Not only can it confuse our normal eyes, but also hinder our normal sight.
25 看着前方
一个朋友对我说:―当你忧伤时，请看着前方。‖
说来也怪，每当自己忧伤时，我很少看着前方，不是低低垂首，就是闭目不瞻，即便抬头仰望星空，也是越看越茫然。忧伤时，自己的视野真的窄了。
这个朋友有一个冰雪聪明的女儿，美丽得像朵舞蹈着的花，但她完全看不到外边的世界。朋友曾经伤心欲绝，但没有人能够帮助到他疗伤，是残酷的生活教会他看着前方，发现和拥有那些前行一段路程才能得到的喜悦。
看着前方，他看到已经长大的女儿——她更加漂亮乖巧，学会了自己照顾自己；她穿上了黑色的练功服、白色的舞蹈鞋，黑黑的头发盘得高高的，用发光的发带竖了起来；她时刻微笑着，那是汇集在她嘴角的点点明媚的春光；她变得坚强睿智，能够自食其力，如她所愿，果真成了一名受人欢迎的舞蹈老师、、、、、、我们敲门时，上帝总是不在家。诗人朗费罗为此感慨不已：―你的命运一如他人，每个生命都会下雨。‖下雨时，忧伤时，最值得做的事情就像这位朋友所说的:看着前方！一分钟不行，再看一分钟，久久地看，一次又一次地看，用一生的经历来看，用最真的爱满怀着希望来看。看看是不是―所有的雨都会停‖，看看雨后的天空是不是更洁净、更辽远、更美丽，是不是还会奇迹般地出现彩虹。
上帝总有回家的时候，雨水总会停下，前方总有希望和喜悦。
Look Ahead
Once a friend suggested me: ―Look ahead when you are sad. ‖
It is this weird that ever when I am in sad, I am always bow my head or shut my eyes regardless his suggestion. Even when I catch a glimpse of the sky with stars, but again at sea. When I am depressed, my vision narrowed.
This friend has a lovely and smart daughter and so charming like a flower in dancing. But, she is unable to see the outside world clearly. My friend ever so grieve that he was so pessimistic. No other aids seem to help him, but he gained the delight after a journey of hardship with looking ahead that the crucial life taught him.
Look ahead, he has witnessed his daughter‘s experience journey----she is more beautiful and tamer and can take care of herself. She dresses her black excise cloth, with white dancing shoes, black and high-twist hair style with lighting belt; she is always smile, indicating her charming youth in her mouth; she becomes strong in mind and smart, live on herself. As preferred, she becomes a warmly received dancing teacher…
The God is always absent when we knock His door. The great poet 朗费罗could not help commending, ―Your你的命运一如他人，每个生命都会下雨.‖ When it rains and we feel sad, it is worth looking ahead. If one minute is not enough, then take one more. Looking again and again with a long time, or even your whole life and your love and hope. See whether所有的雨都会停; see the sky after rain if it is cleaner, vaster, more fantastic and see whether there is rainbow in magic.
There is always the time the God go home; the stop for rain and the hope and joyous ahead.
28老故事咂出新滋味
铁杵磨成针的故事告诉我们：白费力气的事尽管感人但却是可笑的。明明买根针就能做活，非要用根大铁棒磨它个三年两载。方向和方法错了，功夫下的再深也不行。
三顾茅庐的故事告诉我们：机遇是等来的。如果孔明先生主动上门求职，就不见得有这样的效果。不过，这话只适合古代，现代人即使比孔明的本事大十倍，坐在家里干等也不见得有机遇出现。天知道重视人才的观念是进步了还是退步了。
龟兔赛跑的故事告诉我们：永远不要以己之短比别人之长，更不要因一时的侥幸成功把短当成长。如果是乌龟，可以跟兔子比潜水，也可以跟兔子比长寿，这才是乌龟的强项。
井底的之蛙故事告诉我们：什么样的环境早就什么样的人生，反过来也同样，什么样的人生适合什么样的环境。别指责青蛙的短浅愚昧，因为蛙绝不可能从井底迁到东海生存。如果蛙受了教育启发，从此志在东海，那只有徒增烦恼了。
武松打虎的故事告诉我们：英雄有时是被逼出来的。武松胆儿再大也是正常人，没有人不拍老虎的道理。要不是犟脾气加上十五碗小酒，决不回去做打虎的壮举。其实他也没想到会遇上老虎，真的遇上反而酒都被吓醒了，说明他并不是真的想当英雄。不是他死就是虎亡，他把自己逼成了英雄。现实的很多典型与此很类似，每一个英雄的出现都是有前提的。
螳臂当车的故事告诉我们：即便粉身碎骨，也要为改变现状做一些看似无效的努力。也许，当轮前的螳臂多了，车会慢下来或者停下来。
New understanding to classic stories
铁杵磨成针tells us：Moving as the strenuous deeds, it is actually ridicules. Instead of buying a needle, he insisted to rub an iron stick exhausted for years. It is useless to work hard once the direction and method was wrong.
三顾茅庐tells us：The opportunity is get by waiting. If Mr. Kong applied his position spontaneously, the result might be the other one. After all, it practices only in the old age. Though ten times the wisdom than King Ming, we modern people may lose enormous opportunities. Who knows if the attention to the talents is more or less?
龟兔赛跑tells us：Never compete its shortcomes with other‘s merits, nor take the shortcomes as advantages for a short-time fortune. If you were a turtle, compete diving or lifespan with rabbit because these are your advantages.
井底的之蛙tells us：Man is what his surrounding and vise verse. The surrounding is fit for the man. Never condemn frog‘s narrow and foolish, for it never survive in the East Sea, it just a trouble made by itself.
武松打虎tells us：Hero is sometimes be made. A common though 武松‘s tremendous courage, for nobody without fear to tiger. Thanks to his stubborn and the fifteen 小酒, 武松had the honor to kill the tiger. He also never knew that he might come across a tiger. His mind became clear the moment he saw the tiger; it showed he is not planned to be a hero. To be or not to be; was he kill the tiger and because a hero. Just like many incidents in life, every hero appears out of some conditions.
螳臂当车tells us：To change the situation, it prefers to do some useless efforts though it may die in pieces. Or maybe, when number of the same doers increased, the 车may sow down or stop surprised.
31年龄加减法
发明大王爱迪生，在他79岁时，自豪而风趣地对人们宣布：―我已经是135岁的人了。‖
流行天后麦当娜，在她40岁时，语出惊人地对外宣称，她应该是35岁才合理。
79岁的爱迪生为何加岁到135岁？因为他积攒了超出常人多倍的时间财富：16至60岁，爱迪生通常每天工作18~20小时，而在实验关键期，他则常常会通宵达旦、废寝忘食地连续奋战几昼夜；60岁后，人们劝服他缩减了工作量，但每天仍要干16小时；80岁后，他依然坚持白天准时去实验室，一干一整天，晚上回家还要读3~5小时的书。爱迪生一生积攒和珍惜时间，如按平常人一生活动和工作的时间来计算，他的生命早已成倍延长了，寿命早就大大增长了，所以他才将79岁加成135岁。
40岁的麦当娜为何要减岁到35岁？因为她认为生命中有些岁月是被浪费的，所以理应减去：她与前夫的婚姻，有一整年是在争吵中浪费掉的，减1岁；她与好友因事翻脸，两年友情算空白，减2岁；她出演过一部烂片，那一年毫无价值，又减1岁；她与某男星屡传绯闻，那一年没有意义，再减1岁。这般算来，她整整少了5岁，一下子从40岁减成35岁。年龄加减法，加入的是珍惜的时光，减去的是浪费的岁月；加入的是有意义有价值的时光，减去的是被挥霍被耗空的岁月。善用减法，可理智地梳理和清点过去；善用加法，可合理地安排现在，规划未来。
The Counting Rule of Age
At the age of 79, the inventor Adison announced with pound and humor: ―I am 135 years old.‖
Seemingly, at the age of 40, the popular queen Madana declared surprised that actually 35 years old might be more reasonable to her then.
Why Adison thought he was 135 years old but not 79? This is because he accumulated the double working time than normal people: from 16-year-old to 60-year-old, Adison usually worked 18~20 hours every day. At some key point, he might worked all day and all night long without thinking of food and rest for several days in a row.; after 60 years old, he was suggested to decrease his work, but he insisted to work 16 hours every day; after his 80 years old, he still went to his lab punctuately and worked all day with another three to five hours‘ reading after going home. The time that Adison accounted and treasured, if counted as the time scheme that normal people, his lifespan has undoubtedly doubled. Therefore, his age was not 79 but 135.
Why Mdana held that she should be aged 35 but not 40? This is because she thought that sometime was be wasted in her life and of course should eliminated: the marriage time with her pre-husband was wasted in quarrels. This should be cut one year; the time she turned her back to her friend for something. This should reduce two years; she once been a actress in a nonsense film for a worthless year. This should delete one year; she was spotted with enormous love affairs should be cut; in this way, she totally lost five years and from the age of 40 t 35. The counting rule of age, add the treasure time and reduce the wasteful; accumulate the meaningful and worthy years, while cut the meaningless and worthless moment. Good at counting rules, you
can carding and check your past in a wise way; good at counting rules, you can arrange yourself and make a plan for your future in a proper road..
38、站在海伦的身后
有人问盲人作家海伦.凯勒，谁对她的人生影响最大？她回答：―安妮.沙利文！‖安妮却纠正说：―不，对你人生影响最大的人，是一位清洁女工。‖幼年的沙利文因严重眼疾，脾气暴躁，被关进福利院的笼子。一个清洁女工经常钻进笼子去安抚她，关怀她。安妮的心灵慢慢康复了。她离开福利院后，被培养成一名教师，第一个学生就是海伦。
海伦身后站着安妮，安妮身后是清洁女工，女工身后肯定还有好人。社会是由无数条―善‖和―恶‖的长链组成。你的一个温馨的眼神，经过N次传递放大，长链的另一端可能连着一位伟人；而你的一句侮辱性的话语，那长链没准会牵着一个混世魔王呢！
Standing behind Helen
Someone asked blind writer Hele n·Kater who had the most influence on her. She answered : ―安妮.沙利文‖ ―No, the man influenced you most is a ceaner.‖Young 沙利文had a serious disease in her eyes. She was in locked in a 福利院‘s cage because of her bad temper. Luckily, there was a cleaner often got into the cage, comfort and took care of her. Afterwards, Anny graduate healed and left the 福利院. Ever since she became a teacher, she first student was Helen.
There ws Anny behind Helen, and then the cleaner, and maybe some more kind person. Society is a long chain with numerous ―kind‖ and ―evil‖. Your gentle eyesight, through delivering and expanding for N times, there maybe be a great on the other side; while an insulting sentence may link with a fiend.
57. 识人五视
古人在实践中积累了一套识人、用夕、的经验，归纳起来为―五视‖，即:
居视其所亲。注意观察一个人平时跟谁在一起。如与贤人相近，则可重用;相反，若与小人为伍，就要加以当心。
富视其所与。看他如何支配自己的财富舀如果只满足私欲，大肆挥霍，贪图享乐，则不可重用。
达视其所举。如已处于显赫之位，需要观察他如何来选拔部属。若任人唯贤，量才录用，自然是襟怀坦荡、秉公办事的有为之士。
穷视其所不为。对处于困境之人，可以视其操守如何。若虽身处困境，却不做任何苟且之事，这样的人就可以放心地委以重任。
贫视其所不取。看一个人在贫困潦倒之时的行为。不取不义之财，甘守清贫，则品性高洁。若见钱眼开，如蝇逐臭，就万不可重用。（摘自《南昌晚报》魏信德/文）
Five Observation Ways to Just a Talent

To observation who to be with: Know more details about his companies. 重用if e groups with talents; be cautious if he together with villain.

To observe what to avoid: Know more about his integrity while in trouble: 若虽身处困境，却不做任何苟且之事，这样的人就可以放心地委以重任。
To observe what to deny: Know more about his choice when he is in poverty. The ideal one is不取不义之财，甘守清贫，则品性高洁。若见钱眼开，如蝇逐臭，就万不可重用。
70.谦逊是把双刃剑
大学时代，马克·赫德曾被一位老师提名竞争学生会主席。尽管他信心十足，但由于他在回答校方提问时表现得过于谦逊和谨慎，以致与这个职位失之交臂，且在毕业就业时受此影响，未能进入心仪的公司。
虽然马克最终以自己出色的能力被惠普公司聘用，但是他依旧觉得沮丧。他反思了许久，得出了一个结论—自己被所谓的―谦逊‖迷惑。失去去了最好的机会。后来，马克凭着自己的能力，出任了惠普的CEO。
那天，董事会来电话，要他参加董事会议。马克觉得会上场景似曾相识。董事们有意让马克接任惠普的CEO，因为在产品宣传与销售问匙上，惠普遇到了难题。
同样一个问题:你有信心把惠普做得更好吗?
马克给出了与上一次不同的回答。他说:―这是毫无疑问的，至少我保证，情况不会像现在这么糟糕!‖
事实上，通过考验的马克，表现出了极强的个人能力。自从他出任CEO后，惠普产品多面开花，通过筛选渠道，减少成本，加大宣传，经营业绩稳步增长。
在接受电视采访的时候，主持人问：―有人说，你的形象是儒雅，知性，睿智，谦逊的。的怎么看？‖马克着重就―谦逊‖谈了自己的见解。他认为，不恰当的―谦逊‖是把双刃剑，往往会断了―谦逊者‖的发展之路。
马克说：―要做到真正的谦逊，需要明白三点：
首先，谦逊不是自我否定，自我否定只能让你与机会擦肩而过并留下惋惜。
其次，谦逊就是把话说到你的能力值以下，比如你能考A，那么先肯定自己能考B+。
最后，谦逊不是在面对别人质疑.或者面对问题的时候说?哦，我想我办不到‘，而是懂得抓住机会。成功之后，面对别人的赞美时说:?其实没什么，只要努力，每个人都能做到!‖‘ (摘自《读者》2阅9，10上善若水/文)
Modesty is a Double-edged Sword
In his university time, 马克·赫德was nominated to campaign for the chairman of the Student Union. Tough very confident, he lost the chance for his over modesty and caution when answering questions. This had a bad influence on him when he graduated and seeked his job.
Still dismay, though he was appointed by 惠普公司with excellent ability. He considered for a long time and then came to a conclusion----he was confused by the so----called modesty. Later, for his outstanding ability, he became the CEO.
The other day, the board called him to represent the board meeting. Mark felt the same scene as ever. The reason that the board let Mark e the CEO was that there were some problems in publicity and sale.
The same question: Are you confident to de better job for 惠普?
Then Mark gave the opposite reply than the last time. He said: ―it is undoubted that I can promises. At least be better than now. ‖
In fact, after trials of tests, Mark did an excellent job. Ever since his nomination, 惠普company produced varies styles of product. Through selecting mediums, decreasing cost, pay attention to publicity, the company‘s sales grew steadily.
When being interviewed, the holder asked: ―Someone think you are gentle, knowledge, wise and modest. We would like to know your opinion.‖ Mark expressed his understanding on ―modesty‖. He insisted that unreasonable modesty is a double-edged sword, which may destroy his future.
He said that to be really modest, keep three points in mind:
Firstly, modesty is not to deny yourself, for it let you lose the chance and feel regret.
Secondly, modesty is to evaluate yourself below your ability umber. For instance, if you can get A, then be sure you can get B+.
Lastly, modesty is not to say ―actually, everyone can do that so as you work had‖to answer others‘ praise.
79 “板”忌短“针”宜长
一个木桶能装多少水，不是由那些长板决定的，而是由那块最短的板决定的，这就是经济学上的―短板原理‖。用到一个人身上，短板就是指致命的缺点或弱点。譬如说，一个人哪儿都好，文武双全，能说会道，有能力有水平，可就是沉溺于赌博，那么决定他命运的就不是―哪儿都好‖的那些长板，而是赌博这块短板，他最终身败名裂，也许可能就是因为这块短板。
在一个楼房林立的地区，虽然每栋楼房都安有避雷针，但真正和雷电接触能起到避雷作用的，是那根最高的避雷针，其他避雷针基本都是摆设，这就是―避雷针原理‖。如果用来比喻一个人，最高的避雷针就是指他的最突出特长，他的最有效的谋生手段。一个多才多艺的人，如果没有一项最能拿出手的技艺，他的多才多艺就只能是漂亮的点缀，没有多大实际用处。
人非圣贤，所以人人都可能有―短板‖，一个真正聪明睿智的人，应当尽量补齐自己的―短板‖，如果实在不能补齐也要始终对其保持警惕，遏止其发展，千万不要让其成为导致自己人生失败的致命缺点。
另一方面，则要竭力打造自己―最高的避雷针‖，不必事事处处和别人比长短，而只在自己最突出的长项、技术、专业上争高下;不要当行行通行行松的―万金油‖，要力争成为某一行业的专家、内行.、权威、大腕。若果如此，―短板‖不短，―避雷针‖又极高，成功的大门便会一叩即开。（摘自《重庆晚报》陈鲁民/文）Short Plank, Long Needle
The so-called ―短板原理‖ sys the capacity of a wooden tub is not determined by the long planks, but the shortest one. Applying to a person, the short plank is his shortcome or weak point. Or example, a versatile seems both文武双全，能说会道，有能力有水平，but addicted in gambling, he is then, identifying himself not with those long planks, but the shot ones. Finally, he may 身败名裂. This is maybe his ―short plank‖.
Among the building forest with 避雷针, it is the highest one that truly make a difference in 避雷, and others made little. This is called ―避雷针原理‖. If, comparing
to a person, the highest 避雷针is his special point and the method to make a living.
A versatile without any special points, his techniques are useless and just for decorating.
All human beings are but the ones with shortcome; while a truly smart man is supposed to make up his ―short plank‖with his all efforts. If impossible, he would better be careful about it and not let it be worse. It is so important to let he know that avoid to fail for this spot.
On the other hand, to make yourself the ―highest避雷针‖ and never bother to compare with others. Instead, it is to be the best with your profession. In addition, never be the Mr. know-it-all, but a professor in a particular field. In this way, no short plank and having high避雷针, you will on your way to success.
86 心情是别人的
好多人认为心情是自己的，其实，心情还是别人的。一段时间，我身体不是很好，感觉烦燥，妻子对我说，身体不好就去看，你这样对身体也没好处啊!你不高兴，喊和孩子能高兴吗?还有一次，父亲说话，我感觉烦。妻子说，既然父亲说了，你就答应，至于你怎么做，还不是你说了算，我们能为老人做什么。只能让他们高兴。我也为此深感内疚。
人刚出生就有了心情。那时，饿了就哭，不隐瞒心情。长大后知道了，心情可以掩盖，可以调节，这才有了面具之说。
按说心情是自己的，自己可以想怎样就怎样，但其实，因为你的心情而影响了别人心情，从这个意义上说，心情就是别人的。如果你能把心情当作是别人的，也许就会多一份责任，少一份任性;多一份理解，少一份固执;多一份关爱，少一份自私;多一份和谙，少一份纷争。（摘自《家庭主妇报》孙志昌/文）
Our Mood Belong to Others
Most of us hold that our moods are of ourselves. Actually, our moods belong to others. For a long time, I did not feel well and always upset. My wife comforted me and asked me to see the doctor. ―Your condition does matter to yourself. On other condition, how can you make kids feel well when you are not feeling well? Another time, I was so annoyed with the talking of my father. My wife explaining again: ―You‘d better offer your sincere. As for how to do, you are the master. What we should do is just make them happy.‖ I deeply regretted for my bad manners.
Man got his own mood ever since his birth. While young, we cried when we hungry and never pretended our secrets. As we grew up, we realized that we can hide our mod and adjust it. It is just like a mask.
To be honest, the mood is our own business, and can express in the way we like to. In fact, since your mood has an influence on others, your mood belongs to others, too. If you hold your mod as others‘, then you will be more responsible and less head strong, more understanding and less stubborn, more care and less selfish, more harmony and less dispute.
93.成熟，从不抱怨开始
遇见他，是在一个饭局上。
一落座，他就喋喋不休地抱怨起来：怨公司不好，拼死拼活一个月，拿到手里的工资没多少；怨上司不公，谁擅长拍马就重用谁；怨同事不善，成天勾心斗角明争暗夺……终于，在他暂停抱怨的间隙，我小心翼翼地问了一句：既然工作
如此不称心，为什么不跳槽呢？他一愣，奇怪地看了我一眼，似乎在看一个外星人。―跳槽?现在经济这么不景气，往哪里跳？‖一这下我算明白了，原来他的工作并非一无是处啊。
散席后。尽管他热情地与我道别，并且特意留下他的电话，但我，却再未联系过他。对我来说，一个怨气冲天的人，是不值得交往的。
不由得想起阿瑟·阿什。这位美国著名的网球名将，在一次输血时感染了艾滋病。对于他的遭遇，许多球迷深表同情，且因此责怪老天对他太不公平。对此，阿瑟·阿什说道：―知今，我身患绝症，我不怨天，也不怪自己；因为我知道有些事人无法左右，当不幸来临时，我们只能面对。‖
说得多么好!在这段话里，我们看到了从容，看到了平静，看到了坦荡，看到了豁达，看到了一位成熟男人的风范。然而遗憾的是，在现实生活中，面对困难和挫折，我们听得最多的，还是抱怨：怨苍天不公，怨命运残酷，怨人情冷酷……如果说一个人抱怨之后，他的不满与郁闷能够随风而去，心境能够变得开朗起来，那他的抱怨还算是有价值的。可问题在于，抱怨恰如一股阴冷潮湿的黑雾，足以遮蔽他的眼光迷惑他的心智，最终让佑在自怨自艾的泥潭里越陷越深。
人生就是一段旅程，是一段从青涩走向成熟的旅程。而我相信，真正的成熟，是从不抱怨开始的。（摘自《钱江晚报》苇笛/文）
No Complaint, No Maturation
In a restaurant, I met him.
He was grumbling continuously ever since he sat down, complaining his company for little salary after eternally hard working; the unjust of his line manager who merely promote the one ingratiate him with he; the unkind of colleagues for ganging up with and beating someone while pretending to be well with… Finally, I caught the moment he stopped and enquired him cautiously: since you are so unhappy with your work, why not changing ? he stupefied with a glance to me seemingly an alien ―跳槽？Where should I go? You know that the economy is in the boom.‖ I have got it. Actually, his job was not so terrible.
After the dinner, he said good-bye to me heartily and left me his telephone specially. However, I have never connected him ever. For me, it is out of consideration to make a friend with 一个怒气冲天的人.
It reminds me 阿瑟·阿什, a well-know tennis player in America. He happened to catch the AIDS when he got a blood transfusion. A pile of his fans showed their sympathy and blamed the unjust God. While 阿瑟·阿什declared: ―I get a deadly cancer, but a would not complain the God and myself because I know that something we can not run away. I have no choice but to face whe n the day comes.‖Genius! In his words, there is calmness, magnanimous, open-minded, as well as the demeanors of a mature man. Unfortunately, we complaint everything when we have to face the difficulty and setbacks in reality: we always complaining that the God is unfair; the crucial fate, the grim human beings…It is worth doing if his dissatisfaction go away, depression disappear, feelings become motivational after complaint. But, the problem is, as a mass of shabby and cool fog, the complaint is so misleading that confuses his mind and then drops him deeper and deeper in the muddy.
Life is like a journey, from ignorant to mature. And I believe that truly mature is
start from no complaint.
98. 你会遇到这些人
第一种导师、教练。他教给你的使用技巧一定的工作经不是书本知识。
第二种，陪练、同路人。任何人的成长都不是学出来的，而是学而习、习而成习惯，练出来的。而在这个过程中，一个人很难坚持下来，你需要一个同路人。他可以是和你有共同兴趣、共周目标的朋友，最好是你生命中所爱的人。
第三种，榜样。他是你人生的标杆，不需要通过机遇，只平要通过努力为就可以达到的榜样。
第四种。敌人。就是那些看不起你的人。拒绝过你的人。人，不到绝境是不会有斗之志的，你要证明他是错的，他会给你真正的动力。
第五种，最重要的人是你自己。这个世界上，失败的人除了天分太差之外，还有以下几点：懒、方向不对、方法不对、不能坚持。如果你自乙做不到，就不要怪别人。（摘自《视野》陈千影/文）
The Man You Will Meet
First: director, coach. He taught you some skills and working experience that beyond your textbooks.
Second: An assistant and accompany. None is merely born to mock, but further learning and practice. In this course, you are hard to be alone and thereby need an accompany. He maybe be your friend with the same interest and goal. It is better your dearest lover.
Third: A model. He is the destination of your life. You maybe be him without opportunity but all your efforts.
Fourth: An enemy, who overlooked you and rejected you. Men are to be encouraged with hopeless situation. To testify your ability and his false, he will create energy for you.
The fifth: the most important person is you. In this world, except for talents, a failure possessed the following characters: laziness, wrong direction, wrong method and short of resistance. You will never blame others if you cannot do on your own.
第1篇、宽容 一只小猪、一只绵羊和一头乳牛，被关在同一个畜栏里。有一次，牧人捉住小猪，牠大声号叫，猛烈地抗拒。绵羊和乳牛讨厌牠的号叫，便说：「他常常捉我们，我们并不大呼小叫。小猪听了回答道：「捉你们和捉我完全是两回事，他捉你们，只是要你们的毛和乳汁，但是捉住我，却是要我的命呢! [立场不同、所处环境不同的人，很难了解对方的感受；因此对别人的失意、挫折、伤痛，不宜幸灾乐祸，而应要有关怀、了解的心情。要有宽容的心！] 第2篇、求人不如求己 某人在屋檐下躲雨，看见观音正撑伞走过。这人说：“观音菩萨，普度一下众生吧，带我一段如何？” 观音说：“我在雨里，你在檐下，而檐下无雨，你不需要我度。”这人立刻跳出檐下，站在雨中：“现在我也在雨中了，该度我了吧？”观音说：“你在雨中，我也在雨中，我不被淋，因为有伞；你被雨淋，因为无伞。所以不是我度自己，而是伞度我。你要想度，不必找我，请自找伞去！”说完便走了。 第二天，这人遇到了难事，便去寺庙里求观音。走进庙里，才发现观音的像前也有一个人在拜，那个人长得和观音一模一样，丝毫不差。 这人问：“你是观音吗？” 那人答道：“我正是观音。” 这人又问：“那你为何还拜自己？” 观音笑道：“我也遇到了难事，但我知道，求人不如求己。” [人生风雨，迷途困境，何处避雨，何时得渡，要想真正解脱，只有靠自己。] 第3篇、鲨鱼与鱼 曾有人做过实验，将一只最凶猛的鲨鱼和一群热带鱼放在同一个池子，然后用强化玻璃隔开，最初，鲨鱼每天不断冲撞那块看不到的玻璃，耐何这只是徒劳，它始终不能过到对面去，而实验人员每天都有放一些鲫鱼在池子里，所以鲨鱼也没缺少猎物，只是它仍想到对面去，想尝试那美丽的滋味，每天仍是不断的冲撞那块玻璃，它试了每个角落，每次都是用尽全力，但每次也总是弄的伤痕累累，有好几次都浑身破裂出血，持续了好一些日子，每当玻璃一出现裂痕，实验人员马上加上一块更厚的玻璃。 后来，鲨鱼不再冲撞那块玻璃了，对那些斑斓的热带鱼也不再在意，好像他们只是墙上会动的壁画，它开始等着每天固定会出现的鲫鱼，然后用他敏捷的本能进行狩猎，好像回到海中不可一世的凶狠霸气，但这一切只不过是假像罢了，实验到了最后的阶段，实验人员将玻璃取走，但鲨鱼却没有反应，每天仍是在固定的区域游着它不但对那些热带鱼视若无睹，甚至于当那些鲫鱼逃到那边去，他就立刻放弃追逐，说什么也不愿再过去，实验结束了，实验人员讥笑它是海里最懦弱的鱼。可是失恋过的人都知道为什么，它怕痛。 [很多人像这条鲨鱼一样，在多次的挫折、打击和失败之后，就逐渐失去了勇气。激情死了，梦想死了，剩下的只有黯淡的眼神和悲伤的叹息，无奈，无助和无力。]第4篇、对着大山喊话的孩子

1.Making His Mark “刻舟求剑” A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the s word had not. Isn’t this a very foolish way to look for a sword? 楚国有个人坐船渡江时，他不小心把自己的一把宝剑掉落江中。他马上掏出一把小刀，在宝剑落水的船舷上刻上一个记号。船靠岸后，那楚人立即从船上刻记号的地方跳下水去捞取掉落的宝剑。他怎么找得到宝剑呢？船继续行驶，而宝剑却不会再移动。像他这样去找剑，真是太愚蠢可笑了。 2.To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow “拔苗助长” Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who planted a plot of rice. After he planted the seedlings, every day he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day, but still, he thought they were growing too slowly. Eventually he got impatient with the young plants and suddenly he hit upon an idea that one by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch. The next early morning, the young man couldn’t wait to check his “achievement”, but he w as heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying. 从前，有个农夫，种了稻苗（seedlings）后，便希望能早早收成。每天他到稻田时，都发觉那些稻苗长得非常慢。他等得很不耐烦。想了又想，他终于想到一个“最佳方法”，他将稻苗全都拔高了几分。第二天，一早起身，他迫不及待地去稻田看他的“成果”。哪知，却看到所有的稻苗都枯萎了。
销售团队晨会励志小故事带感悟 小明洗澡时不小心吞下一小块肥皂，他的妈妈慌慌张张地打电话向家庭医生求助。 医生说："我现在还有几个病人在，可能要半小时后才能赶过去。" 小明妈妈说："在你来前，我该做甚么?" 医生说："给小明喝一杯白开水，然后用力跳一跳，你就可以让 小明用嘴巴吹泡泡消磨时间了。" 【正能量启示】：Takeiteasy!放轻松些，生活何必太紧张?事情既然已经发生了，何不坦然自在的面对。同样是一个人，放松的状 态和紧张状态下解决问题的能力大不相同。 一把坚实的大锁挂在大门上，一根铁杆费了九牛二虎之力，还是无法将它撬开。 钥匙来了，他瘦小的身子钻进锁孔，只轻轻一转，大锁就"啪"地一声打开了。 铁杆奇怪地问："为什么我费了那么大力气也打不开，而你却轻 而易举地就把它打开了呢?" 钥匙说："因为我最了解他的心。" 【正能量启示】：每个人的心，都像上了锁的大门，任你再粗的铁棒也撬不开。唯有关怀，才能把自己变成一只细腻的钥匙，进入 别人的心中，了解别人。 僧多粥少，每到开饭时，和尚们一拥而上，本来就少得可怜的粥被挤翻了。大家都挨饿。
饿得受不了的和尚提议轮流分粥。这下可好，轮到自己分时撑个半死，他人分时饿得发昏。 方丈云游回来了，决定由其中一名和尚全权分粥，其他不得有异，但又规定分粥者最后取粥。从此和尚们均等地吃上了热粥。 【正能量启示】凡事必须有制度、机制去规范，制度必须不断创新，与时俱进;好的机制不一定复杂，复杂的机制不一定好。 贝尔纳是法国著名的作家，在法国影剧史上占有重要的地位。有一次，法国一家报纸进行了一次有奖智力竞赛，其中有这样一个题目：如果法国最大的博物馆卢浮宫失火了，情况紧急，只允许抢救 出一幅画，你会抢哪一幅?结果在该报收到的成千上万回答中，贝尔 纳以最佳答案获得该题的奖金。他的回答是：“我抢离出口最近的 那幅画。” 【正能量启示】成功的最佳目标不是最有价值的那个，而是最有可能实现的那个。 有两个和尚分别住在相邻的两座山上的庙里。两山之间有一条溪，两个和尚每天都会在同一时间下山去溪边挑水。不知不觉已经过了 五年。突然有一天，左边这座山的和尚没有下山挑水，右边那座山 的和尚心想：“他大概睡过头了。”便不以为然。哪知第二天，左 边这座山的和尚，还是没有下山挑水，第三天也一样，直到过了一 个月，右边那座山的和尚想：“我的朋友可能生病了。”于是他便 爬上了左边这座山去探望他的老朋友。当他看到他的老友正在庙前 打太极拳时。他十分好奇地问：“你已经一个月没有下山挑水了， 难道你可以不喝水吗?”左边这座山的和尚指着一口井说：“这五年来，我每天做完功课后，都会抽空挖这口井。如今，终于让我挖出水，我就不必再下山挑水，我可以有更多时间练我喜欢的太极拳了。” 【正能量启示】我们常常会忘记把握下班后的时间，挖一口属于自己的井，培养自己另一方面的实力。这样在未来当我们年纪大了，我们还依然会有水喝，而且还能喝得很悠闲。

2上帝那里没有现成的果实 三个人千辛万苦找到了上帝，请求他给予帮助。上帝问他们各需要什么。第一个人说他要一座大宅院；第二个人说，他要一个农庄；第三个人说他要一块大金条。上帝说他可以满足他们的需要。于是上帝给了第一个人一堆砖头，给了第二个人一把种子，给了第三个人一把沙子。 No Ready-made Fruit in God’s Hand Three guys finally got the God through trials and errors. They were eager to ask God for help. Right after the God asked what they want, the first man claim a big courtyard, the second a farmstead, and the third a bar of gold. God promised them. At last, the first man was given a pile of bricks, the second a bag of seed and the third a mass of sand. 3虫子的压力 有这么一种虫子，它的体长还不到一毫米，也许因为在电子显微镜下看起来像一头黑熊，所以人们叫它雄虫。它主要生活在淡水的沉渣，潮湿土壤以及苔藓植物的水膜中。最近日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久发现了一个惊人的现象：当20只小熊虫被放入密封的容器内，在实验室制造的7.5万个大气压下，20只熊虫只有两只死亡，其余的18只安然无恙。7.5万个大气压！它相当于每平方豪米要承受700多千克重物的压力，它足以上淀粉瞬间变性，生米顷刻为熟饭。自然条件下，地球上也只有180千米的地幔深处才拥有如此大的压力。 至今没有人能弄清楚熊虫为何如此能忍。不只是出于对这种超强生命力的尊重还是怀疑，有人叫它地狱之虫。一个长度不超过1毫米的微不足道的虫子，能承受命运给他如此的压力，相比较而言，我们这些自称是高级动物，智慧生命，万物之灵的人呢？在人的现实生活中，有多少小小的心结，小小的压力构成我们所谓的生存压力。在这样的压力下又有多少悲观失落之人将美好的人生称作地狱？现在一比才觉得，其实我们的压力就好比是真空，我饿美女的地狱就是天堂中的天堂。在那一刻，我在心里默默地鞠了一躬，不是为熊虫，而是感谢造物主没有把这样的压力降在人间。 W orm’s Pressure This is a worm whose body is no less than one millimeter. It is called 熊虫(XC) perhaps for the reason that it looks like a black bear under the microscop. The XC usually habited in the slurry of fresh water, wet soil and the 水膜of moss plants. Recently, there was an amazing news discovered by 日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久: when 20 little XC were placed in a sealed container under the 7.5 万个大气压making in experiment condition, there were only two died and the other 18 have no trouble at all. 7.5 万个大气压, equal to over 700 kilogram stress per square meter, which is powerful enough to它足以上淀粉瞬间变性and the rice ready to eat. In natural condition, this pressure can only be found in the 地幔beneath the earth 180 kilogram. Till now, nobody have an idea about the tolerance of XC. Someone also call it worm of hell out of admiration or suspicion. A worm, with its length less than one
正能量积极向上的人生励志小故事【三篇】 导读：本文正能量积极向上的人生励志小故事【三篇】，仅供参考，如果觉得很不错，欢迎点评和分享。 【生命需要热忱】 一个人成功的因素很多，而居于这些因素之首的就是热忱。热忱是发自内心的兴奋，散发、充满到整个人。英文中的“热忱”这个词是由两个希腊字根组成的，一个是“内”，一个是“神”。事实上，一个热忱的人，等于是有神在他的内心里。热忱也就是内心里的光辉——这种炽热的、精神的特质深存于一个人的内心。 俄亥俄州克里夫兰市的史坦·诺瓦克下班回到家里，发现他最小的儿子提姆又哭又叫地猛踢客厅的墙壁。小提姆明天就要开始上幼儿园了，他不愿意去，就这样以示抗议。按照史坦平时的作风，他会把孩子赶回自己的卧室去，让孩子一个人在里面，并且告诉孩子他还是听话去上幼儿园。由于已了解了这种做法并不能使孩子欢欢喜喜地去幼儿园，史坦决定运用刚学到的知识：热忱是一种重要的力量。 他坐下来想：“如果我是提姆的话，我怎么样才会乐意去上幼儿园?”他和太太列出所有提姆在幼儿园里可能会做的趣事，例如画画、唱歌、交新朋友，等等。然后他们就开始行动，史坦对这次行动做了生动的描绘：“我们都在饭厅桌子上画起画来，我太太、另一个儿子鲍勃和我自己，都觉得很有趣。没有多久，提姆就来偷看我们究竟在做什么事，接着表示他也要画。‘不行，你得先上幼儿园去学习怎样
画。'我以我所能鼓起的全部热忱，以能够听懂的话，说出他在幼儿园里可能会得到的乐趣。第二天早晨，我一起床就下楼，却发现提姆坐在客厅的椅子上睡着了。‘你怎么睡在这里呢?'我问。‘我等着去上幼儿园，我不要迟到。'我们全家的热忱已经鼓起了提姆内心对上幼儿园的渴望，而这一点是讨论或威胁、责骂都不可能做到的。” 【心灵感悟】 生活中没有任何人能够阻止你将你的目标变成现实，更没有人能够阻止你把热忱注入你的计划之中。热忱能带领你迈向成功。如果你有热情，那么，你几乎就所向无敌了。 【要克服虚荣心】 有一只高傲的乌鸦非常瞧不起自己的同伴。它到处寻找孔雀的羽毛，一根一根地藏起来。等搜集得差不多了，它就把这些孔雀的羽毛插在自己乌黑的身上，直至将自己打扮得五彩缤纷，看起来真有点像孔雀为止。然后，它离开乌鸦的队伍，混到孔雀群中。但当孔雀们看到这位新同伴时，立即注意到这位来客穿着它们的衣服，忸忸怩怩、装腔作势，大伙都气愤极了。它们扯去乌鸦所有的假羽毛，拼命地啄它、扯它，把它弄得头破血流，痛得昏死在地。 乌鸦苏醒后，不知该怎么办才好。它再也不好意思回到乌鸦群中去。想当初，自己插着孔雀羽毛，神气活现的时候，是怎么也看不起自己的同伴啊! 最后，它终于决定还是老老实实地回到同伴们那儿去。有一只乌鸦问它：“请告诉我，你瞧不起自己的同伴，拼命想抬高自己，你可
下面是我的一段简易人生故事，主要是用来说明语法的重要性！ My Life Story By Li Yang I was born in a poor family in Jiangsu. I grew up with my grandparents. Because my parents chose to work in Xinjiang to serve the country right after they graduated from university. My mother just came back to Jiangsu to give birth to me, and then returned to Xinjiang. My parents were busy working everyday. They were very devoted to their country. They had no time for me. 我出生在江苏一个贫困的家庭。 我跟着外公外婆一起长大。 因为我父母大学毕业后志愿去了新疆工作，为国家效力。 我母亲只是回到江苏生下了我，就又回新疆去了。 我父母每天都忙于工作。 他们将全身心献给了国家。 他们没有时间照顾我。 I was an extremely shy and introverted child. I had no confidence in myself at all. I was ashamed of my appearance. I was a terrible student. I had few friends. My mother beat me severely. So I hated her very much. I wanted to hit her back. But I didn’t dare. Because I had nowhere else to go. 我那时是个极端害羞和内向的小孩子。 我对自己一点信心都没有。
激励人心正能量小故事【三篇】 曾有人做过一个实验：组织三组人，让他们分别沿着十公里以 外的三个村子步行。第一组的人不知道村庄的名字，也不知道路程有 多远，只告诉他们跟着向导走就是。刚走了两三公里就有人叫苦，走 了一半时有人几乎愤怒了，他们抱怨为什么要走这么远，何时才能走到?有人甚至坐在路边不愿走了，越往后走他们的情绪越低落。 第二组的人知道村庄的名字和路段，但路边没有里程碑，他们只 能凭经验估计行程时间和距离。走到一半的时候绝大部分人就想知道 他们已经走了多远，比较有经验的人说：“大概走了一半的路程。” 于是大家又簇拥着向前走，当走到全程的四分之三时，大家情绪低落，觉得疲惫不堪，而路程似乎还很长，当有人说：“快到了!”大家又振 作起来加快了步伐。 第三组的人不但知道村子的名字、路程，而且公路上每一公里就 有一块里程碑，人们边走边看里程碑，每缩短一公里大家便有一小阵 的快乐。行程中他们用歌声和笑声来消除疲劳，情绪一直很高涨，所 以很快就到达了目的地。 启示： 当人们的行动有明确的目标，并且把自己的行动与目标持续加以 对照，清楚地知道自己的实行速度和与目标相距的距离时，行动的动 机就会得到维持和增强，人就会自觉地克服一切困难，努力达到目标。 【习惯与自然】 一根小小的柱子，一截细细的链子，拴得住一头千斤重的大象， 这不荒谬吗?可这荒谬的场景在印度和秦国随处可见。那些驯象人，在 大象还是小象的时候，就用一条铁链将它绑在水泥柱或钢柱上，无论 小象怎么挣扎都无法挣脱。小象逐步地习惯了不挣扎，直到长成了大象，能够轻而易举地挣脱链子时，也不挣扎。
驯虎人本来也像驯象人一样成功，他让小虎从小吃素，直到小虎长大。老虎不知肉味，自然不会伤人。驯虎人的致命错误在于他摔了交之后让老虎舔净他流在地上的血，老虎一舔不可收，终于将驯虎人吃了。 小象是被链子绑住，而大象则是被习惯绑住。 虎以前被习惯绑住，而驯虎人则死于习惯(他已经习惯于他的老虎不吃人)。 【正能量启示】：习惯几乎能够绑住一切，仅仅不能绑住偶然。比如那只偶然尝了鲜血的老虎。 【曲突徒薪】 有位客人到某人家里做客，看见主人家的灶上烟囱是直的，旁边又有很多木材。客人告诉主人说，烟囱要改曲，木材须移去，否则将来可能会有火灾，主人听了没有作任何表示。 不久主人家里果然失火，四周的邻居赶紧跑来救火，最后火被扑灭了，于是主人烹羊宰牛，宴请四邻，以酬谢他们救火的功劳，但并没有请当初建议他将木材移走，烟囱改曲的人。 有人对主人说：“如果当初听了那位先生的话，今天也不用准备筵席，而且没有火灾的损失，现在论功行赏，原先给你建议的人没有被感恩，而救火的人却是座上客，真是很奇怪的事呢!主人顿时省悟，赶紧去邀请当初给予建议的那个客人来吃酒。 【大道理】：预防重于治疗，能防患于未然之前，更胜于治乱于已成之后。
短篇励志英语美文摘抄带翻译【三篇】 导读：本文短篇励志英语美文摘抄带翻译【三篇】，仅供参考，如果觉得很不错，欢迎点评和分享。 短篇励志英语美文：A Better Tomorrow People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records. Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars? We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen. Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace, we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history. From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth. History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past. These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.
很多时候，我们一味的把自己禁锢在一个固定的思维里，明明知道这可能是错误的，会给自己带来很多的伤害，但宁可被痛苦折磨，而不想去做改变。终于有一天醒悟，却已伤痕累累，于是想到要改变周围，而独独忘了试图改变自己。如果意识到要改变自己了，那么就意味着要割舍许多，放弃许多，可能还要承受更多的痛苦，毕竟改变自己是史无前例的。但我相信，在某些方面改变后的自己，是轻松愉快的。我想很多人都和我一样，在接受现状的时候都会有种不甘和抱怨的心理，但这种不甘和抱怨有没有化作动力，却是一个谁也无法预知的未知数，只有我们自己最为清楚。 年轻无极限 “你们还年轻”，每当遇到挫折时，大人们都喜欢用这样的话来安慰，然而在这条年轻的旅途中，又有几人是一帆风顺，这一路上我不断的跌倒爬起，命运像是在有意整我，一次次将我领到悬崖的边缘，然而我却还是不顾一切的纵身往下跳，落地的前一秒还天真的以为天上掉下了馅饼，上天对我的垂怜，等到重重的摔下来时才清醒过来，后悔当初的愚昧。于是开始拼命的往上爬，可是还是一次一次的无功而返，我不知道还在这里绕多久，但我却从来没有过放弃的念头，因为这一秒不放弃，下一秒才会有希望，要想重新站起来，就一定得坚持。 人生没有假如
为自己努力奋斗 奋斗是一种心态：一定要对得起自己。对待结果则应换另一种心态：对自己的所作所为要锱铢必较，对不可控因素则随遇而安。如果和不可抗力斤斤计较那就是和自己过不去了，最后不但于事无补还恶化了自己的情绪。所以就像上面写过的，人只要对自己的行为负责就足够了。 青春是什么，青春是学习的季节，青春是奋斗的岁月，不要停止我们前进的步伐，因为青春的路正长。有空的时候静下心来好好看看书，回头想想自己走过的路，为自己的人生做好一个规划，把自己的理想铭刻在心中，做一个甘于寂寞，敢于创新、干劲十足的年青人。 从某种意义上来说，就已经选择了奉献。青春不是人生的一段时期，而是心灵的一种状况。如果你的心灵很年青，你就会常常保持许多梦想。大家都知道我们企业的精神：务实、敬业、创新、高效，虽然我们工作在不同的岗位，但我们拥有一个共同的家，在这里，我们信守同样的共产主义精神，写下同样的奉献承诺，拥有同样的壮美青春.要成功就要自我约束
4篇英语励志小短文30字【带翻译】4篇英语励志小短文30字一 Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young. 无论是60岁还是16岁，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐与热情。在你我的心底，有一座无线电台，它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、希望、欢乐、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就会年轻多长时间。 4篇英语励志小短文30字二 Sometimes we think of dreams as fantasies - it's easy to do when you have money, rent, and work. But you can't prepare yourself and jump off the cliff: you should grow your wings first. A little bit toward the dream. Step by step. Take a step forward. After all, it's your mission. 有时，我们把梦想看成是幻想——当有钱、有租金、有工作时很容易去做。但是，你也不能不加准备及跳下悬崖：你该先长出自己的翅膀。一点点的朝梦想靠近。一步一步的往前走。往前迈一步吧。毕竟，这是你的使命。
A Soldier's Brilliant Idea Mr. Robinson had to travel somewhere on business, and as he was in a hurry, he decided to go by air. He liked sitting beside a window when he was flying, so when he got on to the plane, he looked for a window seat. He found all of them had already had been taken except for one. There was a soldier sitting in the seat beside this one, and Mr. Robinson was surprised that he had not taken the one by the window; but, anyhow, he at once went towards it. When he reached it, however, he saw that there was a notice on it. It was written in ink and said, "This seat is preserved for proper load balance, thank you." Mr Robinson had never seen such an unusual notice in a plane before, but he thought that the plane must be carrying something particularly heavy in it, so he walked on and found another empty seat, not beside a window, to sit in. Two or three people tried to sit in the window seat beside the soldier, but they too read the notice and went on, when the plane was nearly full, a very beautiful girl hurried into the plane. The soldier, who was watching the passengers coming in, quickly took the notice off the seat beside himself and in this way succeededin having the company of the girl during the whole trip. 英语幽默：士兵坐飞机有美女陪伴的高招 由于生意方面的事，罗宾逊先生得出趟门。因为有点紧急，他决定坐飞机。乘机旅行时，他喜欢靠窗坐，故而一登机，他就寻找一个靠窗的座位。他发现只有一个靠窗的座位还空着。在那空座位边坐着一名士兵。令罗宾逊先生纳闷的是，这位士兵没有坐靠窗的位置。罗宾逊先生不管那些，他马上径直朝那个空座位走去。 然而，等到了那儿，他看见座位上有则启事，是用钢笔写的：“为保持装载平衡，特预设该位置，谢谢合作。”罗宾逊先生还从来没有在飞机上见过如此不同寻常的启事。不过，他想飞机上一定装了什么特别重的物品，于是他找了个不靠窗的位置。 又有两三个乘客试图坐在那个士兵旁的靠窗座位上，他们看到那则启事就走开了。当快满座时，一位非常美丽的姑娘匆匆走进机舱。一直在注意进舱旅客的那个士兵赶紧拿掉他旁边空座位上的启事。士兵用这种办法，成功地找到了一位姑娘一路作伴。
