1, the broken arrow

If you don't believe in your own will, you'll never be a general.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a father and his son went to war. The father has become a general, the son is just a pawn. Another horn sounded, the drums thundered, and my father solemnly held up a quiver with an arrow in it. The father solemnly said to his son, "This is a treasure arrow from the family. Wear it with you. It has infinite power, but do not take it out." It was a very fine quiver, made of thick cowhide, with a faint gleaming copper border, and the end of the arrow sticking out. You can tell it's made of the finest peacock feathers. The son was beaming with joy and greedily thought about the shape of the arrow shaft and arrow. The sound of arrows whizzing past his ears seemed to prompt the enemy's commander to break his horse and die. Sure enough, the son with the treasure arrow was brave and invincible. When the horn sounded, the son could not help the heroic victory, completely turned his back on his father's advice, the strong desire to drive him to call out the treasure arrow, trying to see what was going on. Suddenly he was shocked. A broken arrow, a broken arrow in the quiver. I keep Hollowing out to break an arrow to fight! The son was scared out of a cold sweat, as if the house suddenly lost its pillar, suddenly the will collapsed.

The result speaks for itself. The son is killed in the chaos.

Whisking away the smoke of gunpowder, my father picked up the broken arrow and spat heavily: "If you don't believe in your own will, you will never be a general."

How foolish it is to place the victory or defeat on a treasure arrow, and how dangerous it is when a person gives the core and handle of life to others! Like pinning their hopes on their children; Put happiness in the husband; Put the security of life on the unit...

Warm tips: oneself is an arrow, if you want it tough, if you want it sharp, if you want it a hundred paces, a hundred shots, sharpen it, save it can only be their own.

2. The value of life

Don't let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

At a seminar, a famous speaker made no opening remarks, but held up a $20 bill. Facing the 200 people in the conference room, he asked, "Who wants the $20?" Hands went up, one by one. He continued, "I'm going to give this $20 to one of you, but before I do that, please allow me to do one thing." He crumpled up the bill and asked, "Who wants more?" Hands are still up. "And what if I did so?" he added. He dropped the bill on the ground, stepped on one foot and ran over it. Then he picked it up. It was all dirty and wrinkled. Who wants it now?" There were still hands up." My friends, you have had a very meaningful lesson. No matter what I do with that bill, you still want it, because it hasn't depreciated, it's still worth $20. On the road of life, we will be countless times by their own decisions or encounter

Then I found that the spider had made many detours -- starting from a cornice, tying knots, going down the wall, climbing forward step by step, taking care not to let the silk stick to the sand or other objects on the ground, crossing the clearing,

Climb up to the opposite eaves again, and when the height is almost up, tighten the wire again, and do so again.

It is not because things are difficult that we dare not do them, but because we dare not do them that they are difficult.

8. Forever ticket

Life is funny: if you accept only the best, you will often get the best.

There was a man who often went on business trips and often couldn't get the right ticket. But no matter how long or short, no matter how crowded the bus was, he could always find a seat.

His method is actually very simple, is patiently one compartment one compartment to find the past. It doesn't sound like a brilliant idea, but it works. Each time, he was prepared to go from the first car to the last, but each time he did not have to go to the end to find an empty seat. That's because, he says, not many passengers are as persistent as he is. It is often in the carriage where he sits that there are a number of seats left, and in which

The aisles and junctions of his carriages were full. 'Most passengers are easily fooled by the appearance of one or two cars being crowded,' he says. 'They don't think much about the seating opportunities that flow up and down the train's dozen doors during dozens of stops.' And even if they did, they didn't have the patience to find it. Most people are easily satisfied with a small foothold in front of them, and some feel it is not worth the burden of packing for a seat or two. They were also afraid that if they could not find a seat, there would be no place to stand back. Like some people in life who are satisfied with the status quo and afraid of failure, they can only stay in the starting point of no success forever, and most of these passengers who do not want to take the initiative to find a seat can only stand in the first place when getting on the bus until they get off.

Warm tip: Self-confidence, perseverance, foresight, diligent in practice, will let you hold a journey of life forever ticket.
