Small stories and big ideas

1. Please don't open the wrong window

  A little girl was lying on the window sill, watching the people outside the window were burying her beloved dog, could not help but tears, mourning. Her grandfather, seeing this, hurriedly led her to another window and let her enjoy his rose garden. Sure enough the little girl's mood suddenly brightened. The old man held up his granddaughter's chin and said, "Child, you opened the wrong window."

Tip 1: Open the window next to the failure, and maybe you'll see the hope.

2. The lion and the antelope tutor

  Every day, when the sun rises, the animals on the African savannah begin to run. The mother lion is teaching her child, "Son, you must run faster and faster, if you can't outrun the slowest antelope, you will starve to death alive." On another site, the mother antelope is also teaching her child: "Child, you must run a little faster, a little faster, if you can not run faster than the fastest lion, then you will certainly be eaten by them."

 Secret 2: Remember that you run fast, others run faster.

3. believe you are an eagle?

  A man caught a young eagle in an eagle's nest at the top of a high mountain, and he took it home and kept it in a chicken coop. The young eagle pecked, played and rested with the chickens. It thought it was a chicken. The eagle grew up, full of feathers, the owner wanted to train it as a falcon, but because of the day and the chicken mixed together, it has become exactly the same as the chicken, there is no desire to fly. The owner tried various methods, all to no avail, and finally brought it to the top of the mountain, a hand will throw it out. The eagle fell straight down like a stone, in a panic it flapped its wings desperately, and so it finally flew!

 Tip #3: The power to summon success through practice.

4. Draw a leaf for life

--As long as the heart believes, there is always a miracle, and although hope is small, it lives forever.

American writer O. Henry told a story in his novel "The Last Leaf": In the ward, a patient whose life was in danger saw a tree outside the window from his room, falling down piece by piece in the autumn wind. The patient looked at the fallen leaves in front of her and her health deteriorated day by day. She said, "When all the leaves fall off the tree, I will die too." When an old painter learned of this, he painted a leaf with verdant veins and hung it on a branch with a colored pen. The last leaf never fell off. Just because of this green in life, the patient miraculously survived.

Warm reminder: life can be without many things, but only can not be without hope. Hope is an important value of human life. Where there is hope, life is alive and well!

5. The Flying Spider

--Belief is a kind of unbreakable power, when you firmly believe that you can succeed, you will succeed.

One day, I found that a black spider had made a very large web between two eaves in the backyard. Could the spider be flying? Otherwise, from this eave to that eave, the middle is more than a ten feet wide, how did the first thread pull through? Later, I found that the spider took many detours. From one gable head, knot, down the wall, step by step forward, careful, cock the tail, not to let the silk on the ground sand and gravel or other objects, walk across the open space, and then climb the opposite gable head, the height is about the same, and then tighten the silk, and later.

Warm tip: The spider can't fly, but it can tie the web in mid-air. It is diligent, sensitive, silent and tough insects, its web made delicate and regular, gossip-shaped open, as if by divine assistance. Such achievements remind people of those who are silent and some wise people who are deeply hidden. Thus, I remembered that the spider could not fly, but it still knotted its web in the air. Miracles are caused by the persistent.

6. the stubborn stone in the heart

-- What prevents us from discovering and creating are only the obstacles in our mind and the stubborn stones in our thoughts.

Once upon a time there was a family with a large stone in their vegetable garden, about forty centimeters in width and ten centimeters in height. People who went to the garden would accidentally kick that one big stone and either fall or bruise. The son asked, "Dad, that nasty stone, why not dig it away?"

Dad replied, "You mean that stone? It's so big, I don't know how long I'll have to dig it up. If you're bored digging up rocks, you might as well walk more carefully and train your reflexes." After a few years, the boulder was left to the next generation, when the son married a daughter-in-law and became a father.

One day the daughter-in-law said angrily, "Dad, the more I look at that big stone in the vegetable garden, the more I don't like it, so I'll ask someone to move it some day."

Dad replied, "Forget it! That big stone is very heavy, if I could move it, I would have moved it when I was a child, so why would I let it stay until now?"

The daughter-in-law was so upset that she didn't know how many times the big stone had made her fall.

One morning, the daughter-in-law brought a hoe and a bucket of water and poured the entire bucket of water around the boulder. Ten minutes later, the daughter-in-law used the hoe to stir up the soil around the boulder. The woman had been prepared that it might take a day to dig it, who did not expect a few minutes to dig up the stone, look at the size, the stone is not as big as imagined, are deceived by the appearance of that huge.

Warm tips.

You climb a mountain with the idea of going downhill, there is no way to climb up the mountain. If your world is dull and hopeless, it is because you yourself are dull and hopeless. To change your world, you must first change your own mindset.

7. Sweep the sunshine?

  There were two brothers, just four or five years old. Since their bedroom window was closed all day, they thought it was too dark inside the house, and when they saw the bright sunlight outside, they felt very envious. The two brothers then discussed, "We can sweep a little of the sunshine in from outside together." So the two brothers took a broom and a dustpan and went out to the balcony to sweep in the sunlight. By the time they carried the dustpan into the room, the sunlight inside was gone. After sweeping many times in this way, there was still no sunlight in the house at all. My mother, who was busy in the kitchen, saw their strange behavior and asked, "What are you doing?" They replied, "The room is too dark, we need to sweep some sunlight in." Mom laughed and said, "If you open the window, the sunlight will come in naturally, so why sweep it?" ?

 Tip #7: Leave the closed door of your heart open, and the sunshine of success will dispel the gloom of failure.
