It is said that a beggar came to a courtyard to beg from the hostess. This beggar was very pitiful. His right hand and the entire arm were broken off, and his empty sleeves were hanging out, which made people sad. He would give generously to anyone he met, but the hostess pointed to the door in front of him unceremoniously. A pile of bricks said to the beggar: "Please help me carry these bricks to the back of the house!"
The beggar said angrily: "I only have one hand, you still have the heart to ask me to carry bricks? No." Why bother making fun of people if you don’t want to give it to them?”
The hostess was not angry. She leaned over and moved it around. She deliberately moved it with only one hand and said, “Look, it’s not the same.” You don't have to have two hands to work. I can do it, why can't you?" The beggar was stunned. He looked at the woman with strange eyes, and his pointed Adam's apple slid up and down twice, and finally He began to move bricks. It took him two full hours to finish moving the bricks. He was so exhausted that he was panting like an ox. There was a lot of dust on his face. A few strands of hair were stuck together with sweat and stuck crookedly on his forehead. The rich man handed over a white towel, and the beggar took it and said gratefully: "Thank you!" The lady said: "You don't need to thank me, this is the wages you earned by your own efforts." The beggar said: "I can't Forget about you, give me this towel as a souvenir!" After that, he bowed deeply and left. Many days later, another beggar came. The woman led the beggar to the brick and said, "Move the brick to the place designated by me, and I will give you 20 yuan." But the beggar with sound hands walked away in disdain. . The rich man's child asked his mother in confusion: "Why do you ask them to move bricks around?" The mother said: "Bricks are the same wherever they are placed, but whether they are moved or not is different for beggars." She has been here since. With just a few beggars, the pile of bricks was moved back and forth a few times.
Several years later, a very respectable man came to this courtyard. He wears suits and leather shoes and has an extraordinary bearing, just like those confident and self-respecting successful people. The only drawback is that this man only has one hand, and behind him is an empty sleeve, which is dangling. The visitor leaned over and grabbed the somewhat old hostess and said, "Without you, I would still be a beggar, but now I am the chairman of a company." The one-armed chairman wanted to move the woman and her family to Go live in the city and live a good life. The woman said: "We cannot accept your care." "Why?" "Because everyone in our family has two hands." The chairman insisted sadly: "Madam, you let me know what it means to be a human being. What is personality? That house is the reward you deserve for educating me." The woman finally smiled: "Then give the house to someone who doesn't even have a hand!"
There are three people in the world. Types of people:
One type is people without dreams. People without dreams work for no apparent reason. They muddle along, working as a monk and ringing bells for a day, and wasting their time in a muddle;
One type is People with vague dreams, people with vague dreams only regard work as a means of making a living, fall into the pain of work, and work hard every day;
One type is people with clear dreams, but people with clear dreams do not In the same way, he is working for himself and enjoying his work, because work is an opportunity for his life to grow. He regards work as a kind of enjoyment rather than a tool to make a living. A person with a clear dream keeps working hard when others give up; he still works hard when everyone thinks it is impossible; he does not just maintain his job or fulfill his duties, he goes deeper within and seeks for more; he has a special feeling for his work. They have a sense of mission that cannot be accomplished, and work tirelessly and happily for it; the world will give them honors, both fame and wealth.
Harvard University once conducted a famous experiment, conducting a survey on life goals among a group of young people with similar intelligence and age. The results found that:
3% of people Have very clear long-term goals;
10% of people have clear but relatively short-term goals;
60% of people have some vague goals;
27% have no goals at all.
Twenty-five years later, Harvard University conducted a follow-up survey on them again. The results were very surprising. The 3% of people have all become social managers and industry leaders; the 10% are all business leaders in various industries. Successful people in various professional fields live in the middle and upper classes of society and have successful careers; the 60% mostly live in the middle and lower classes of society, have no ambitions and have mediocre careers; the 27% live unsatisfactory lives and have unstable jobs. , unable to make ends meet, often complaining about society, the government, and everyone else.
Maybe at this moment you are thinking about which type of person you belong to. One is fate, two is luck, and three is feng shui. The destiny of life is related to one's own goals and dreams. Without incredible goals, how can there be incredible results. No matter how busy you are, if you don’t know what you are pursuing, please stop and think about the goal and meaning of life. Mediocre people and outstanding people are also busy working every day. The difference is that mediocre people are busy with trivial things for no reason, and finally accumulate trivial life; while outstanding people are also busy with trivial things every day, but through a great life goal, Accumulate a life of miracles. You must clarify your life strategy and do the most rewarding things.
