A good mother is better than a good teacher

Chapter 3 To be a person and do things first, do the things around you well (2)
Suddenly, a sentence in the book made his eyes shine: "The most important thing is not to look at the vague things in the distance, but to do the most concrete things around you." He suddenly realized: Yes, no matter how lofty the ideal It needs to be realized step by step; no matter how huge the project is, it needs to be built brick by brick.

He understood, his confusion was resolved, and he finally found the answer to his life.He knows that those lofty ideals should hang high in the sky of the future, and the most important thing is to do every specific thing around him well.

That is to say, from that day, one afternoon in the spring of 1871, the young William Schiller began to immerse himself in reading, because he knew that this was the most important thing for him at present, and he wanted to improve his grades.After half a semester, William Siller became the best student in the whole school.

Two years later, William Siller graduated with the highest honors in the school.After graduation, he worked as a doctor in a hospital. He took every patient seriously and was meticulous in every visit.His conscientious attitude and spirit of striving for perfection soon made him a famous local doctor.

A few years later, he founded the Johns Hopkins College.He put his attitude towards life into every detail.Many experts and scholars came to work in his college in admiration of his name, making his college soon become the most famous medical school in the UK and even in the world.

William Schler always told the people around him: the most important thing is to do the things around you well, and that's enough.Relying on this sentence, he carefully did his own thing, not only became the most famous medical scientist of his time, but also became a professor at Oxford University College, and was awarded a knighthood by the King of England.

"If you don't accumulate steps, you can reach a thousand miles." Success is the accumulation and forging of small things.To achieve lofty goals, you must do the things around you well in a down-to-earth manner, because every little thing around you is exactly the brick and tile of your ideal building.

do wonderful things for others
A sensible old lady is taking her family on a trip to Izuyama Onsen.A 17-year-old boy named George committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea in Mount Izu and was rescued by the police.He is a half-breed of African-Americans and Japanese, cynical and hopeless.The old lady went to the police station and asked to meet the young man. The police knew the old lady's background and agreed to talk to the young man.

"Child." When she spoke, George turned his head away like a stone, ignoring him completely, and the old lady continued in a calm and soft tone, "Son, do you know that you were born to do something for this world other than you?" Is there something no one else can do?"

She repeated it several times, but the boy suddenly turned around and said, "You mean a black man like me? A child who doesn't even have parents?" The old lady replied calmly, "Yes! It's because of your skin color You are black, because you have no parents, so you can do some amazing things." The boy sneered, "Hmph, of course! Do you think I will believe this?"

"Come with me, and I'll let you see for yourself," she said.

The old lady took him back to the small tea room and asked him to do odd jobs in the vegetable garden.Although her life is poor, she loves and protects the young man very much.Living in a small teahouse, surrounded by lush vegetation, George gradually became calm.The old lady gave him some fast-growing radish seeds. After 10 days, the radishes sprouted and leaves, and George whistled proudly.He also made a flute out of bamboo and played it for himself. The old lady praised: "No one has ever played the flute for me except you, George, it sounds so good!"

The boy seemed to be getting angry gradually, so the old lady sent him to high school to study.During the four years of studying, he continued to grow vegetables in the teahouse garden, and also helped the old lady do some odd jobs.After graduating from high school, George worked on the subway construction site during the day and studied in the evening department of the university at night.After graduation, he taught in a school for the blind, caring for those blind students.

"Now, I have come to believe that there are things no one else can do that only I can do." George said to the old lady.

"You see, right?" said the old lady, "if you weren't dark, if you weren't an orphan, maybe you wouldn't be able to understand the suffering of blind children. Only those who really understand the pain of others can do good things for others with all their heart. You At the age of 17, what you need most is someone to cherish you, and no one to cherish you, so you want to die at that time, right? You shout loudly, saying that what you want is impossible to get, it doesn’t exist at all-but later, you yourself With love."

George nodded convincingly.

The old lady was still full of ideas, and continued to talk: "Try to cherish your own happiness. When you see the glow of gratitude on their faces, at that time, even dying people like us will feel the meaning of living."

Those who truly understand the suffering of others and do good deeds for others will be loved by others and feel the meaning of life.

the king's favorite honest child

Once upon a time there was a wise and beloved king who managed the country well and the people could live and work in peace and contentment.The king was getting older, but he had no children, which made the king very sad.Finally he decided to select a child from across the country to be his adoptive son and train him to be his successor.

The king's standard for choosing a adopted son is very unique. He distributes some flower seeds to each of the children and announces that whoever can use these seeds to cultivate the most beautiful flowers will become his adopted son.After the children took back the seeds, they cultivated them meticulously, watering, fertilizing, and loosening the soil from morning till night. Everyone hoped that they would be lucky.

There is a child named Xiongri who spends his days carefully cultivating flower seeds.But ten days have passed, half a month has passed, and a month has passed, and the seeds in the flower pots have not even sprouted, let alone bloomed.

Distressed, Xiongri went to ask his mother for advice, and his mother suggested that he change the soil, but it still didn't work, and both mother and son were helpless.

Days passed, and the seeds of Xiongri did not bloom beautiful flowers in the end.Xiongri sadly said to his mother, "What should I do? Should I go with an empty flower pot?" His mother said to him earnestly, "Son, no matter what a person does, he must first be honest. Then Even if we fail in the end, we will not regret it." Xiong Ri listened and nodded seriously.

The day came when the king decided to look at the flowers.Countless children in beautiful clothes rushed to the street, each holding a flower pot in full bloom, looking expectantly at the slowly patrolling king.The king looked around at the blooming flowers, and was not as happy as everyone imagined.

Suddenly, the king saw Xiong Ri holding an empty flowerpot.He stood there listlessly, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and the king called him to him and asked him, "Why are you carrying an empty flower pot?"

Xiongri was very sad.He told how he carefully cultivated, but the flowers never germinated.He also said that he thought it was retribution because he had stolen an apple from someone's garden and ate it.After Xiongri finished speaking, the king unexpectedly showed the happiest smile on his face.He hugged Xiong Ri and said loudly, "Son, you are the one I am looking for!"

"Why is this?" Everyone asked the king in puzzlement.The king said: "All the flower seeds I send out are boiled, and it is impossible to germinate and bloom." Xiongri laughed happily after hearing this.

The children holding flowers all lowered their heads, and another seed may have been planted in their hearts.

helping others is helping yourself
On a certain evening 20 years ago, a boy who looked like a college student wandered in front of a buffet restaurant on the streets of Taipei. He walked into the restaurant shyly after almost all the diners had left.

"Please give me a bowl of rice, thank you!" the boy said with his head down.

The young couple who had just started a business in the store were puzzled when they saw that he hadn't chosen any dishes, but they didn't ask any more questions, and immediately handed him a bowl full of rice.While paying, the boy said shyly, "Can I pour some vegetable soup on the rice?"

The proprietress replied with a smile: "It's okay, just use it, no money!"

Halfway through his meal, the boy realized that the vegetable soup was free, so he ordered another bowl.

"Isn't one bowl not enough? I'll serve you more this time!" The boss responded enthusiastically.

"No, I'm going to take it back and put it in a bento box and take it to school for lunch tomorrow!"

The boss heard this, and guessed in his heart that the boy might come from a family with a poor economic environment in the southern countryside. In order not to give up the opportunity to study, he went to the north to study alone, and he might even work part-time. The difficulty of the situation can be imagined, so, Quietly put a tablespoon of the store's signature minced meat at the bottom of the lunch box, and put a marinated egg, and finally covered it with white rice. At first glance, I thought it was just white rice.

Seeing this, the proprietress understood that the boss wanted to help the boy, but she couldn't understand why the dried meat wasn't generously added to the rice, but hidden in the bottom of the rice?The boss whispered into the boss lady's ear:
"If a boy sees rice with toppings at a glance, he may think that we are giving him alms. Doesn't this mean that he directly hurts his self-esteem? In this way, he will definitely be embarrassed to come back next time. If he is transferred to another house and only eats rice, How do you have the energy to read?"

"You are really a good person. You help others and save face for them!"

"I'm not good, will you marry me?"

The young boss and his wife are immersed in the joy of helping others.

"Thank you, I'm full, goodbye!" The boy got up and left.

"Come on! See you tomorrow!" The boss waved to the boy, revealing in his words that he asked the boy to come to the store for dinner tomorrow.

From then on, except for consecutive holidays, the boy came almost every evening. He also ate a bowl of rice in the store and took another bowl away. Of course, under the bowl of rice he took away, there was a different secret hidden every day.Until the boy graduated, in the next 20 years, there was no boy in this buffet restaurant again.

One day, the nearly 50-year-old husband and wife of a cafeteria owner received a notice from the city government to forcibly demolish the storefront of an illegal building. They were faced with middle-aged unemployment, and their daily savings were given to their son to study for a degree abroad. I couldn't help crying in the store.At this time, a man wearing a brand-name suit and looking like a manager of a large company came to visit suddenly.

"Hello, I am the deputy general manager of a large company. Our general manager ordered me to come here. I hope to invite you to open a cafeteria in the office building we are about to open. All the equipment and ingredients are funded by the company. You only need to lead the chef to be responsible for the cooking of the dishes, and as for the profit, you and the company will each get half!"

"Who is the general manager of your company? Why did you treat us so well? We don't remember knowing such a noble person!" The boss and his wife looked puzzled.

"Your husband and wife are great benefactors and good friends of our general manager. The general manager especially likes to eat the braised eggs and minced meat in your store. That's all I know. Let's talk about the rest when you meet!"

Finally, the boy who only ordered a bowl of rice for each meal reappeared.After 20 years of hard work, the boy has successfully established his own business kingdom. All of this is thanks to the encouragement and secret help of the buffet owner and his wife. Otherwise, he would not have been able to successfully complete his studies.After talking about the past, the boss and his wife were about to leave. The general manager got up and bowed deeply to them and said respectfully: "Come on! The company will still need your help in the future, see you tomorrow!"
