If you do not believe in your own will, you will never be a general.

In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, a father and his son fought for war. My father was a general and his son was just a pawn. Another horn sounded, and the drums thundered. His father solemnly held up an arrow with an arrow inserted in it. His father solemnly said to his son, "This is an arrow of family attacks. It has infinite power, but it cannot be drawn out ."

It is an extremely exquisite arrow, thick cowhide, inlaid with a faint copper edge, and then look at the exposed arrow. It can be determined at a glance that it is made with the finest peacock feathers. The son was excited, greedy to think about the appearance of the arrow, the ear seemed to pass by an arrow, the enemy's coach was beaten.

Sure enough, the son with the arrow is brave and invincible. When the horn of the treasure was blown, the son could not help but win again. He gave up his father's jealousy. his strong desire drove him out of his arrow and tried to see the truth. Suddenly he was shocked.

A broken arrow is contained in the arrow.

I have been rolling out an arrow to fight! The son was scared out of a cold sweat, as if the house was suddenly lost, and then collapsed.

2. Value of life

Don't let yesterday's frustration overshine tomorrow's dream!

At a seminar, a famous speaker did not make an opening speech, but held a $20 bill in his hand.

In the face of 200 people in the conference room, he asked: "Who wants this $20 ?" One hand lifted. He went on to say, "I plan to give this $20 to one of you, but before that, please allow me to do one thing ." As he said, He kneaded the money into a group and asked, "Who needs it ?" Some people are still raising their hands.

He said, "What if I did this ?" He threw the money to the ground, stepped on another foot, and ran it over with his foot. Then he picked up the money and the money had become dirty and wrinkled.

"Who need it now ?" Someone raised their hands.

"You have taken a meaningful lesson, my friends. No matter how I treat that bill, you still want it because it has not depreciated and it is still worth $20. On the road to life, we will be overwhelmed, bullied, and even crushed by our own decisions or adversity. We feel we are worthless. But no matter what happens or what will happen, You will never lose value in the eyes of God. In his opinion, you are still priceless if you are dirty or clean and neatly dressed ."

The shopkeeper kept praising her for wearing a beautiful bow.

Jenny walked into the classroom and met her teacher. "Jenny, you are so proud to start up !" The teacher patted her on her shoulder and said.

On that day, she was praised by many people. She thought it must be the credit of the bow. She could take a picture in front of the mirror, and there was no bow on her head. It must have been lost when she came out of the ornaments shop.

5. Flying spider

Faith is a kind of force without a strong urge. When you believe that you can succeed, you will be able to succeed.

One day, I found a black spider had a large network between the two eaves of the backyard. Does a spider fly? Otherwise, from the eaves to the eaves, there is a gap in the middle of the width, how is the first line pulled in the past? Later, I found that the spider had taken many detours-starting from a eaves, knotting, moving down the wall, crawling forward step by step, carefully, and raising its tail, do not let the silk touch the sand stone on the ground or other objects, walk through the open space, and then climb the opposite side of the eaves, the height is almost the same, then tighten the silk, the same will be true in the future.

Tip: the SPIDER will not fly, but it will be able to link the Internet to the air. It is a diligent, sensitive, silent, and tough insect. Its net system is well-crafted and well-disciplined, and it is opened in the form of gossip, as if to be assisted by God. This kind of achievement reminds people of those who have no words and some wise men who have no secrets. As a result, I remember that the spider would not fly, but it still closed the net in the air. Miracles are caused by persistent people.

6. Shadows are paper dragons.

In your life, there are often countless external attacks, but the impact of these attacks on you is in your hands.

My grandfather made me a dragon with paper. The gap between the Longlong abdominal cavity can only accommodate a few locusts and put them in. They all died in it, and they were not spared! Grandpa said: "The locusts are too impatient. Apart from the struggle, they never thought of biting the dragon with their mouths, and they do not know that they can climb from the other end. Therefore, even though it has a clamp-like mouth shell and a toothed thigh, it does not help.

When my grandfather put a few qingworms of the same size in the faucet and closed the faucet, the miracle came: Just a few minutes, the little qingworms climbed out one by one from the tail of the dragon.

Tip: Fate has always been hidden in our thoughts. Many people do not go out of the shadows of different stages of life, big or small, not because they are born with personal conditions far less than others, but because they have no idea to break the shadows, and do not patiently and slowly find a direction, step by step forward, until the eyes appear new holes.

7. Success is not as hard as you think

It is not because we dare not do things, but because we dare not do things.

In 1965, a Korean student majored in psychology at Cambridge University. During afternoon tea, he often goes to the school cafe or teahouse to chat with some successful people. The successful figures include the Nobel Prize winners, academic authority in some fields, and those who have created economic mythology. These people are humorous and cool, it is natural and logical to see all your successes. After a long time, he found that he was cheated by some successful people in China. In order to let those who are starting a business know the difficulties, they generally exaggerate their entrepreneurial hardships. That is to say, they are using their successful experiences to scare those who have not yet succeeded.

As a psychology student, he believes it is necessary to study the mentality of successful Korean people. In 1970, he took "Success is not as difficult as you think" as his graduation thesis and submitted it to Professor welden, the founder of modern economic psychology. Professor breden was pleasantly surprised to hear that it was a new discovery. Although this phenomenon exists in the East and even around the world, no one has proposed it and studied it before. In addition, he wrote a letter to his Cambridge alumnus, Park zhengxi, who was sitting in the first chair in South Korean political arena. He said in his letter, "I dare not say how much help this book has for you, but I am sure it can shake you any other command ."

Later, this book was accompanied by the departure of South Korea's economy. This book inspires many people, because they tell people from a new perspective that success and "work their bones and muscles, starve their bodies", "three more lights, five more chickens", "head suspension, there is no inevitable connection between the cone and the slogan. If you are interested in a career, you will succeed if you stick to it for a long time, because the time and wisdom God has given you can complete one thing. Later, the young man succeeded and became the president of Korean pan-industry Automobile Company.

Tip: many things in the world can be done as long as they want to do it. The difficulties to be overcome can also be overcome. There is no need for steel-like Will, and no need for skills or strategies. As long as a person is still living in a simple and interesting life, he will eventually find that the Creator's arrangements for the world are successful.

8. Always get a ticket

Life is really interesting: If you only accept the best, you will often get the best.

A person who is on a regular business trip often cannot buy a ticket with the correct number. However, no matter whether it is a long distance or crowded, he can always find his seat.

His approach is actually very simple, that is, patiently finding a carriage. This method does not seem clever, but it works very well. Every time, he is ready to move from the first carriage to the last carriage, but every time he does not need to go to the end, he will find the vacant space. He said that this is because there are not many passengers who are reluctant to find seats like him. It is often because there are still a few seats in his compartment, while the aisles and joints of other carriages are full of people.

He said that most passengers were easily confused by the crowded surface of one or two carriages, and did not want to dock for dozens of times, there are many opportunities to provide seats from the movements of more than a dozen train doors; even if they think of it, they do not have the patience to look. It is easy for most people to satisfy their needs. Some people feel that it is not worthwhile to squeeze one or two seats with bags. They also worried that, in case they could not find their seats, they would not even have a good place to stand. People who are comfortable with the status quo, enterprising, and afraid of failure will always be stuck at the starting point of failure, most of these passengers who do not want to take the initiative to find a seat can only stop at the first stop when they get on the bus.

Tip: self-confidence, perseverance, foresight, and diligence in practice will give you a ticket to stay on your journey.

One day, my daughter-in-law angrily said, "Dad, the big stone in the garden. The more I see it, the less pleasing to the eye. Please move it another day ."
Dad replied, "forget it! The big stone is very heavy. If I can move it away when I was a child, how can I keep it for now ?"
The daughter-in-law's heart is not a taste, and she does not know how many times she fell.
One morning, my daughter-in-law poured the whole bucket of water around the big stone with a hoe and a bucket of water.
Ten minutes later, the daughter-in-law loosened the dirt around the big stone with a hoe.
The daughter-in-law had a mental preparation and may have to dig for a day. No one had imagined that the stone would be dug up in a few minutes to see the size of the stone, which was not as big as imagined, they are all fooled by the huge appearance.
Tip: You can't climb the mountains with the idea of downhill. If your world is dull and hopeless, it is because you are dull and hopeless. To change your world, you must first change your mindset.

She is fascinated by the description of the bird and wants to see it in person. The nanny left the child on the deck and went to the captain. The child was impatient and asked the waiter on the ship to take her to the bird of heaven immediately.

"It will be bad when you play ." The child is still crying.
My father sighed and walked into the garage, but found that the optimistic child was saving something in the dung happily.
"Tell you, Dad ." The child proudly declared to his father, "I think there must be a pony hidden in the horse and dung !" Tip: the difference between the viewer and the viewer is very interesting: the viewer sees a fried pie, and the viewer sees a hole.

According to your current situation, even the rapids will rush you to the Rock. Then you will not die before it will be strange ?"
Lobster calmly replied: "Thank you for your attention, but you don't know. Every time we grow our lobster, we must first take off the old shell to grow a stronger shell. Now we are facing the danger, it is only to prepare for better future development."

The lion shouted, saying, "God knows me! I have something to do today. Even though I have good abilities, every day, I am always scared by the sound of chicken. God! I pray that you will give me another power, so that I will not be awakened by the sound of chicken !"

When the lion leaves the elephant, his heart secretly thinks: "What are my complaints about small and small mosquitoes? After all, it's just a day for jimming, but mosquitoes harass elephants all the time. I am much luckier than him ."
As the lion walked, he looked back at the elephants who were still running his feet and thought, "God wants me to see the situation of the elephants. It should be to tell me that everyone will encounter troubles, but it cannot help everyone. In this case, I have to rely on myself! In the future, as long as I am a chicken, I am reminding me to get up. In this way, the sound of Chicken sounds helpful to me ?"
Tip: No matter how smooth we are on our way to life, as long as we encounter some bad things, we will habitually complain that god treats us badly, then pray that the Old God will give us more power to help us overcome the difficulties. But in fact, God is the most fair, just as it is for lions and elephants, every dilemma has its positive value.
