A good mother is better than a good teacher

Chapter 30 Thinking Wisdom and Using Wisdom to Create Wealth (2)
Many transportation companies in New York snickered at his stupid move, because in New York State, there are strict regulations on garbage disposal, and if they fail to do so, they will be sued by environmental protection organizations.Just when some people wanted to see the Jewish joke, he began to organize workers to sort the waste.He had people melt scrap copper and cast it into a small Statue of Liberty; he processed cement blocks and wood into a base; he made scrap lead and aluminum into keys to New York Square.In the end, he even packaged the ashes swept from the Statue of Liberty and sold them to flower shops. In less than 3 months, he turned this pile of waste into 350 million US dollars, and the price of copper per pound doubled by 1. ten thousand times.

Jews are not born smarter than people of any race, but they know how to cast the priceless gold coin of wisdom.

In today's worship of wealth, can people really regard wisdom as the source of wealth, one of the important sources of a happy life, and a priceless wealth in life like the Jews did.

how do you see yourself
She stood on the stage, waving her hands irregularly from time to time; her head was raised, her neck stretched so long that it was drawn into a straight line with her pointed chin; her mouth was open, and her eyes were narrowed into a line , looking at the students under the stage treacherously; occasionally she would be reluctant to say something, not knowing what she was talking about.Basically, she is a person who can't speak, but her hearing is very good. As long as the other party guesses or says what she means, she will happily yell, stretch out her right hand and point at you with two fingers, or Clapping her hands and walking crookedly towards you, she gives you a postcard made of her drawing.

She is Huang Meilian, a patient suffering from cerebral palsy since childhood.Cerebral palsy took away her sense of balance and her ability to speak.She has lived with many physical inconveniences and many strange eyes since she was a child, and her growth is full of blood and tears.However, she did not let these external pains defeat her inner spirit of struggle. She faced up to all the impossibilities, and finally obtained a doctorate in art. She used her hands as a brush to tell people "the power of the universe" and beauty", and brilliantly "live out the colors of life".All the students in the audience were shocked by her uncontrollable body movements.This is a speech meeting that pours out life and encounters life.

"Excuse me, Dr. Huang," a student asked in a low voice, "you have grown up like this since you were a child, what do you think of yourself? Don't you have any resentment?"

"How do I see myself?" She wrote these words heavily on the blackboard with chalk.When she was writing, she used great force, with a strong momentum to penetrate the back of the paper. After writing this question, she stopped writing, tilted her head, looked back at the classmate who asked the question, then smiled sweetly, turned around, and began to write on the blackboard like a dragon:

[-]. I'm so cute!
[-]. My legs are very long and beautiful!

[-]. Mom and Dad love me so much!
[-]. God loves me so much!
[-]. I can draw!I can write a manuscript!

[-]. I have a lovely cat!

Seven, and...

Eight,……

Suddenly, there was a complete silence in the classroom, and no one dared to speak.She turned her head and stared at everyone, then turned her head and wrote her conclusion on the blackboard:

"I only look at what I have, not what I don't have."

Applause rang out from the crowd of students. Mei Lian leaned over the stage, a satisfied smile rippling from the corner of her mouth, her eyes narrowed even smaller, and there was a kind of arrogance that would never be defeated, written on her face superior.

"I only look at what I have, not what I don't have." Hearing Huang Meilian's words, we really have no reason to complain when we are in good health.

clever winner

There is an entertainment program on a certain TV station, and the content is a money counting competition.In addition to this program, there are several other entertainment programs, each of which has a number of spectators participating, and the winner will receive a prize of 1000 yuan in the end.And the game rules of this "Counting Money" program are different.The host took out a large stack of banknotes. In this large stack of banknotes, there were various currencies of different sizes, overlapping in a chaotic manner. Within the stipulated 3 minutes, four spectators selected on the spot had a money counting competition.Among the four participating spectators, whoever counts the most and the most accurate number will get the cash he just counted.

As soon as the host announced the rules of the game, it immediately caused a sensation in the audience.Within 3 minutes, let's count at least a few thousand, not tens of thousands.And in just a few minutes, you can get thousands of dollars in rewards. Isn't it exciting and exciting?

The game started, and the four of them began counting banknotes in a rustling manner.Of course, during these 3 minutes, the host will not let the contestants count money at ease. He will also pick up the microphone and give the contestants brain teasers in turn to interrupt their normal thinking, and must answer correctly The topic can then be counted down.After a few rounds, the time was up, and the four participating spectators each took a stack of banknotes of different thickness.The host took out a pen and asked them to write down the amount of the banknotes just counted.

The first place, 2980 yuan; the second place, 4120 yuan; the third place, also counted a good result of 3256 yuan; and the fourth place, only counted a mere 542 yuan.The number of banknotes counted by the four spectators was far apart.When the host reported these four sets of numbers, the audience burst into laughter. They didn't understand why the fourth audience counted so few?
At this time, the host began to verify the accuracy of the number of banknotes just counted on the spot.Under everyone's attention, the host recounted the banknotes counted by the four contestants, and the correct results were: 3000, 3986, 3200, and 542.In other words, the top three contestants with the most numbers either overcounted more than 100 yuan, or undercounted dozens of yuan. The distance from the correct number is only one "vote", and only the fourth place with the least number is exactly right.According to the rules of the game, only the fourth spectator can get a bonus of 542 yuan, while the other three participating spectators just nervously did 3 minutes of futile work.

Seeing such an unexpected result, the audience in the audience was silent at first, and then burst into warm applause.At this time, the host took out the microphone and told everyone a secret seriously: since the program started, in this competition, the highest prize money that all contestants have won has never been more than 1000 yuan.

Giving up wisely is actually a strategy and a great wisdom in life.But it requires greater courage and wisdom.

gold box silver box wooden box

A long time ago, there was a family whose parents were both dead, and three brothers lived with a little sister.One year, when the three brothers were farming, they saw an old man with a white beard. The old man told them: "There will be a flood soon, so run away!" .The old man said: "Okay, I promise to save you, but you are the only ones who can really save you. I will give you three boxes now, one is gold, one is silver, and the other is wood, and you can hide in it." In the box, but there are only three boxes, and you have a little sister, among you, who would like to bring the little sister?"

The elder brother said, "I'm too big to take her with me."

The second brother said, "I'm too heavy to carry her."

The younger brother said: "I would like to take her."

The old man tapped the ground three times with his crutches, and three big boxes popped out of the ground immediately.The eldest brother was greedy and took the gold box; the second brother was greedy and took the silver box; the remaining wooden box was given to the younger brother and younger sister.

The old man gave each of them another egg and asked them to hold it under their armpits, and said to them: "Whenever you hear the chicken crowing, you can lift the lid of the box." After speaking, he told them to hide in the box.As soon as they closed the lid of the box, the flood came.

The three boxes floated in the flood for 7 days and 7 nights.The eggshell in the elder brother's armpit was broken, and the chick was crowing, so he opened the lid of the gold chest.The chick was blown by the wind and turned into a golden hen.The golden hen said to the eldest brother: "I lay a golden egg every day. When I lay an egg, the flood will recede one foot. When the 10th egg is laid, the flood will recede completely. In this way, you will be saved. But , the golden box is already very heavy, and one more golden egg will add 10 catties to its weight. When the ninth golden egg is born, the box will sink. Therefore, you must throw away at least one golden egg first. Only Only in this way can we be saved..." After finishing speaking, "Heh, heh, heh..." The golden hen laid a golden egg.

The elder brother was overjoyed to see the glittering golden egg, and thought: "It's just the first golden egg, it doesn't matter, the box won't sink." He hugged the golden egg in his arms, reluctant to throw it into the water.The second day, the third day... it's all like this.On the 9th day, the elder brother looked at the 9 golden eggs in his bosom, and thought: "The 9 golden eggs have increased by 90 catties, and the box has not sunk. Adding another golden egg will only add 10 catties." Will the box sink if it weighs too much?” In the middle of the night on the ninth day, he was still reluctant to throw away a golden egg. "Haha! I'm going to make a fortune!" Just like that, he fell asleep and had a sweet dream.

In the early morning of the tenth day, before dawn, the golden hen flew away after laying the tenth golden egg.As soon as the golden hen flew away, the box sank.The eldest brother drowned before he woke up from his sweet dream.

The second brother's egg is a silver hen.The silver hen said to the second brother: "I lay 10 silver eggs every day. After laying 10 eggs, the flood will recede one foot. When the 100th egg is laid, the flood will all recede. In this way, you will be saved." Yes. However, the box is very small. After you and I, the silver hen, can't hold 100 silver eggs. So, when I lay 90 silver eggs, you will put the rest of the eggs Throw it into the water. Only in this way will the box not fall over." After speaking, "Heh, heh, heh..." The silver hen laid 10 silver eggs in succession.

The second elder brother was overjoyed when he saw the shiny silver egg, and thought: "It's only the tenth silver egg, it doesn't matter, the box won't sink." He hugged the silver egg in his arms, reluctant to throw it into the water.The second day, the third day... it's all like this.On the ninth day, the silver eggs were piled up in the box, and the second brother didn't even have a place to stretch his feet, so he could only sit on the silver eggs.The box was wobbly in the water, which was extremely dangerous.Looking at the 10 shiny silver eggs under his feet, the second brother thought to himself: "The 9 silver eggs are placed in the box, and the box has not been overturned. If we add 90 more silver eggs, will the box be overturned?" For nine days and midnight, he was still reluctant to throw away a silver egg. "Haha! I'm going to be a rich man! I can be a silver shop owner!" Just like that, he fell asleep and had a sweet dream.

In the early morning of the tenth day, before dawn, the silver hen flew away after laying the last 10 silver eggs.As soon as the silver hen flew away, the box turned over.The second brother's dream fell into the river before he woke up, and the second brother also died.

An ordinary hen drilled out of the little brother and sister's eggs, laying a few ordinary eggs every day, and the siblings ate eggs when they were hungry.The wooden box will not sink in the water, and the brother and sister have no trouble.

After 10 days, the flood receded, and the brother and sister returned to the village, leading an ordinary and peaceful life.

Greed leads people into a bottomless abyss, and only by not being greedy can one walk on the road to happiness.

gold bars dropped in a well

Once upon a time, there was a liar who lived in the village.As long as he sees something good from others, he will try his best to deceive him.Seeing Li Yuanwai in the village, he nodded and bowed like a pug.

There is a very clever man named Dachuan in the village.One day, when he was drawing water by the well, he saw the liar coming from a distance, and thought: "Today I will teach this guy a lesson." So he took off his clothes, as if he was about to jump into the well.The liar hurried over and asked: "Dachuan, it's such a cold day, you are crazy, what are you doing jumping into the well?" It fell into the well, and I have to fish it up! What can I do?" Dachuan stomped his feet, walked up and down, and answered with a look of impatience.

"Ah, haha, Da Chuan, everyone says you're smart, but you're really a fool! It's such a cold day, such a deep well, will you survive the jump? I'm afraid you'll die before you see the gold bars." Liar said hastily. "Yeah, yeah, you're right! Why didn't I think of this?" Da Chuan pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "If you lose your life, what's the use of gold bars? As long as I, Da Chuan, are still alive, I don’t have to worry about not having gold bars in my hand. Why didn’t I think of this reason?” After finishing speaking, Da Chuan got dressed, turned around reluctantly and went home.

In fact, Okawa never came home at all.He quietly hid behind a broken wall, his eyes fixed on the liar.Seeing that Okawa was walking away, the liar hurriedly took off all his clothes, tied a rope around his waist, and tied one end of the rope to the big rock by the well, and then went down into the well.At this time, Da Chuan rushed to the well, cut the rope, and shouted loudly at the mouth of the well: "Hey, you swindling villain, slowly fish for gold bars in the well!"

Only then did the liar know that he had been fooled by Okawa.The well water was bitterly cold, and the liar shivered from the cold. He begged Da Chuan for mercy in the well: "Please, my friend! There is no gold bars in the well, please rescue me!" Da Chuan laughed and said, "Open your Open your mouth and yell loudly! Let you bully your fellow villagers and be a domineering power! Let those who are flattered by you come to save you!" After speaking, he put a stone slab on the mouth of the well, turned and went home.

Gold is good, but life is more important.Perhaps the bitterly cold well water will wake up the liar and realize that no matter how much gold there is, it is not as important as the warmth of spring.

a whimsical slob

Once upon a time, there was a lazy person who didn't want to do anything except eat and sleep all day long, but he was always whimsical, thinking about eating this and that, but he just didn't want to make any effort.

One day, lying on the bed, he suddenly thought: How wonderful it would be to be able to eat delicacies made with hares!He once heard that falcons can catch hares, so he worked hard once, got up and went to the market to buy falcons.He walked around in the street, not knowing what a falcon looked like.Buying seven and eight bought a duck home, but he still didn't know it anyway.

The next day, the man took the duck out into the field and waited for the hare to come.Wait, wait, and sure enough, a hare ran over.The man immediately threw the duck out, and let the duck catch the hare.However, the duck couldn't fly, it flapped its wings and landed on the ground as soon as it was thrown out.The man became anxious, grabbed the duck again and threw it out, and the duck fell heavily to the ground again.The man was so annoying that he tossed the duck three or four times in a row, but the duck still couldn't fly.

At this time, the duck fell down and stood up again, and said sadly to him, "I'm just a duck! You killed me and ate my flesh. This is my duty. But you Ask me to catch rabbits, how can I do it? Why do you want to impose the pain of throwing on me?"

But the man frowned and said, "How can you be a duck? I only think of you as a falcon bird that flies fast and is good at catching hares."

The duck had no choice but to convince the man that it was indeed a duck, it showed him its flippers and said, "Look at my joined feet and my clumsy appearance, I can catch hares." A falcon?"

The man looked at the duck helplessly, and then looked around. The hare had already disappeared, so the man had no choice but to go back home in frustration.

In life, it is necessary to be flexible in thinking and dare to try; however, we must proceed from reality and respect objective laws.Acting solely on one's own subjective desire and imagination is prone to setbacks.
