Please stay next to me

There are two lemon trees growing side by side in the garden. One of them is long, the other is very short. The owner of the garden is more optimistic about the tall tree, and takes good care of it every day, and it will naturally grow better. Every time he finished watering, the owner would praise the tree profusely. The diminutive tree was left out in the cold in a corner of the garden.

One day, a gust of wind blew a few seeds of alpine snow lotus into the garden. The rest of the floor in the garden was hardened with cement, with only a little soil under the two lemon trees. The seeds find the trees and ask for a place to stay. The big tree said proudly, "This is impossible, this is my territory." "Actually, the big tree has its own ideas, and it is afraid that those seeds will suddenly one day bloom bright flowers and steal its limelight. Seeing the tough attitude of the big tree, the seeds could only go to the dwarf tree to discuss. The dwarf tree agreed, saying, "It's my pleasure to be with you, come here!" And so, the seeds of the snow lotus took root under the dwarf tree.

After a few weeks, the seeds broke through the soil and blossomed into beautiful flowers. The scent of flowers can waft up to several kilometers away. One day the owner of the garden came to smell the fragrance and found the snow lotus. He was ecstatic, took out the best fertilizer and applied it to the flowers, and went a few kilometers away to fetch spring water to water them. Gradually, the dwarf tree benefited from this and grew taller and taller, and one day surpassed the big tree. It is always grateful and uses its own leaves to shade the flowers. Look at the big tree, although it is the height of summer, because of the lack of care, only the crooked dead branches remain, because there is no one to take care of it, it is about to die.

Your attitude towards others will always determine your own height.

You did nothing wrong

After a hearty lunch, the baby monkey lies down in the middle of the branches at the top of a large tree for a nap.

Suddenly, he was woken up by a cry for help that bordered on despair. He opened his eyes and looked. A fat praying mantis was spotted clinging to a twig with its saw-like forelimbs, and a large black bird was not far away preparing to capture him. Without hesitation, the monkey jumped over and scared the bird away.

"Mr. Monkey, thank you so much." The praying mantis said, "If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have been killed." I really don't know how to repay your great kindness.

"I'm more than happy to help you." The monkey replied happily, and then jumped on another tree to play a few games.

"It's amazing to save the life of a little animal. I will do as many things as I can in the future. The monkey jumped among the dense foliage and muttered to himself in high spirits.

When the monkey rested on a thick branch, he suddenly heard another cry.

The monkeys soon found out that it was four young birds crying inside the nest because they were very hungry. "If Mom doesn't bring food back soon, I think I'll starve to death." A young bird cried. The other three wept as well.

Just then, the mother bird flew back. Amid a cheer, the big black bird comforted her children by saying, "Sorry boys, I didn't bring back any food for you this time. Just now, I almost caught a fat praying mantis. If that naughty monkey doesn't trick or treat, that praying mantis will be a good meal for you. Either way, I'll continue to look for food for you. ”

The mother bird hurriedly kissed each of her children, and flew away again, leaving these little hungry things crying out feebly.

After quietly eavesdropping on the birds' conversations, the monkey became very annoyed. He was completely confused: he prevented a mother from bringing food to her hungry children, whether it was wrong or right, and the monkey could not get the right answer, so he went to the learned elephant for advice.

"You did nothing wrong." The elephant replied, "It's just that in this world, no one can take care of everyone." As long as we do what we are supposed to do, we don't have to expect everyone to agree. ”

Simplicity is wisdom

The bird and the eagle are good friends, and they both have great ambitions in life. After living on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean for a long time, they decided to fly to the west coast of the Pacific Ocean to carve out a new world. The idea is to start preparing and take a separate approach to see who gets to their destination first. It takes half a month to fly from the east coast of the Pacific Ocean to the west coast, and you need to rest, eat, and sleep many times on the way.

The eagle prepared four things: there was a large package filled with half a month's ration; There is a large kettle filled with water; There was a small raft, which was used for resting; There is a first aid kit with all kinds of medicines for emergencies. The eagle was pleased with these things, and it felt that it would be foolproof to fly over the Pacific Ocean like this.

When it carried these things on its back and flew for a test flight, something unexpected happened: these things weighed it down and it was out of breath, and it couldn't fly anymore anyway. The eagle wanted to throw something away. But in its opinion, everything is very important, and it must be carried. And with these things it can't fly, it is caught in a deep contradiction and can't extricate itself, it's irritable, and it doesn't know what to do.

By this time, the bird had already been on its way, and it had only one item with it, which was a small branch. When it was tired of flying, it put its branches on the surface of the sea and stood on it to rest; When he was hungry, he put down his branch and stood on it to catch fish; When he was sleepy, he put down his branch and stood on it to sleep. Half a month passed, and the bird flew to the west coast of the Pacific Ocean as it wished, where the beautiful scenery was in full view, and it got a new world. Simplicity makes the bird successful, but the eagle does not understand this truth, it is always on the east coast, and the more it thinks, the farther away from success.

Our lives are becoming more and more colorful, there are many things worth paying attention to in life, and there are many things that we can't let go, but it is they that make our lives complicated and heavy. We are getting farther and farther away from success, not because we don't work hard, but because the load on our bodies is too heavy for us to move forward easily. The most effective way to succeed in our careers is to keep ourselves simple and focused. Let go of what should be put down, let go of what should be discarded, simple is often effective.

self-knowledge

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, someone wrote to the emperor that the three big characters "to the public hall" on the plaque of the main hall of the trial tribute institute in Shuntianfu Township were written by Yan Song. Shuntianfu Township Test for the "North Horse", is the first in the world's township test, in such a dignified place for the country to select talents, it is actually hanging the pen of the Ming Dynasty traitors, one is to appear that I have no one in the Qing Dynasty, and it is not conducive to establishing the orientation of governing the country by virtue. As soon as Qianlong heard the reason, he ordered the Manchu Dynasty scholars to write these three big characters and choose the best ones to replace them.

In addition to letting others write, Qianlong himself couldn't help but pick up the pen. He has always been good at dancing and writing ink, every place, every thing to chant poems to endow, the pen inscription is to catch the hand, so far Qianlong has survived more than 10,000 poems, although there are not many fine products, but as the emperor, the talent is already quite good. The orthodox calligraphy style of his calligraphers Fa Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Zhao Ziang, Dong Qichang, etc., is majestic, heavy, and full of masculine atmosphere.

After collecting the works written by the Manchu Dynasty Wenchen, and adding his own imperial pen, after careful comparison, it was found that none of them could be compared with the three words written by Yan Song. Qianlong sighed and ordered all the works to be destroyed, still letting the traitor's words hang high.

With the achievements of Qianlong's life, he should be a very proud person, but in the face of the inscription of Yan Song, a traitor of the former Ming Dynasty, he was able to discuss calligraphy on calligraphy, without abandoning words because of people, and showed rare sobriety.

Lion with tag

One day, the angry roar of a lion suddenly came from the forest, which broke the quiet atmosphere at once, and the roar was full of fierce majesty.

It turned out that some animal made a joke with the lion and put a label on his tail that said "donkey", as well as a number, date and a round official seal, and a signature next to it. The lion was annoyed, but at a loss: "How can I be a donkey!" But this number, this official seal...... Maybe it was signed by God. What should I do if I tear off the label and may be punished? ”

The lion decided to remove the label legally. He came to the midst of the beasts and asked excitedly, "You say, am I a lion?" ”

"Thou art a lion," replied the wolf slowly, "but by law thou art a donkey!" ”

"How can I be a donkey? I never eat hay. Am I a lion or not, just ask the kangaroo. ”

"You undoubtedly have the characteristics of a lion in appearance," said the kangaroo, "but I can't tell you about your inner features." ”

"Stupid donkey! Why don't you keep quiet? The lion began to roar in a panic, "Am I going to be like you, brute!" I never sleep in a barn. ”

The donkey thought for a moment, and then spoke his opinion: "You are not a donkey, but you are no longer a lion!" ”

In this way, every day the lion either begged the wolf to testify, or respectfully explained to the jackal. Of course, there are no sympathizers for the lion, but no one can or is unwilling to tear that label off.

As time passed, the lion began to wonder, "Am I really a lion?" Maybe I'm just a donkey, but I have sharp teeth and claws, but the label ...... "Slowly, the lion loses its former majesty: make way for this, give way to that flash." One morning, from the lion's den, a donkey's cry suddenly sounded.
