Be true to yourself and believe in yourself

Famous American actress Sonia Smitz spent her childhood on a dairy farm outside Ottawa, Canada.

At the time, she was studying at an elementary school near the farm. One day she came home and cried very aggrieved, and her father asked why. "One of the girls in the class said I was ugly and that my running posture was ugly," she said. When my father heard this, he just smiled. Suddenly he said, "I can touch the ceiling of our house." Sonia, who was crying, was amazed and wondered what her father wanted to say, so she asked, "What did you say?"

My father repeated: "I can feel the ceiling of our house." ”

Sonia forgot to cry and looked up at the ceiling. The ceiling is nearly 4 meters high, and her father can touch it, and she doesn't believe it. The father smiled and said proudly, "If you don't believe it, then don't believe that girl's words, because some people say things are not the truth!"

Sonia understands in this way, you can't care too much about what others say, you have to make your own decisions!

At the age of twenty-four or five, she was already a well-known actress. Once, she was going to a rally, but her agent told her that because of the bad weather, only a few people attended the rally, and the atmosphere at the venue was a little cold. What the agent means is that Sonia has just become famous and should spend her time on some big events to increase her fame. Sonia insisted on attending the rally because she had promised in the press that she would attend, "I will make good on my promise." As a result, the gathering in the rain, because of Sonia's participation, more and more people in the square, her fame and popularity skyrocketed.

Later, she made her own decisions, leaving Canada to act in the United States, and became famous all over the world.

Taking your own ideas, of course, is not to go your own way, but to be loyal to yourself and believe in yourself. In a rough life, many times we have to make our own decisions!

Prove your existence with flowers

In a remote valley, there is a cliff thousands of feet high. I don't know when, a small lily grew on the edge of the cliff.

When the lily is first born, it looks exactly like a weed. However, it knew in its heart that it was not a weed.

Deep down in its heart, there is an inner pure thought: "I am a lily, not a weed." The only way to prove that I am a lily; It is to produce beautiful flowers. ”

With this thought, Lily struggled to absorb the moisture and sunlight, took deep roots, and held her chest straight. Finally, on a spring morning, the top of the lily bears its first buds.

Lily's heart was very happy, but the nearby weeds were very disdainful, and they laughed at Lily in private: "This guy is obviously a grass, but he says that he is a flower, and he really thinks that he is a flower, and I see that it does not bear buds on the top, but tumors in the head." ”

Publicly, they mocked Lily: "Don't dream, even if you really bloom, in this wilderness, you are not worth as much as we do." Occasionally, there are also hummingflies and birds that fly by, and they will also persuade the lilies not to bloom so hard, "On the edge of this cliff, even if the most beautiful flowers in the world bloom, no one will come to admire them!" Lily said, "I want to bloom because I know I have beautiful flowers; I want to bloom in order to fulfill my solemn mission as a flower; I want to bloom because I like to prove my existence with flowers. No matter if anyone appreciates it or not, no matter what you think of me, I will bloom!"

Under the disdain of weeds and butterflies, Lily struggles to release her inner energy. One day, it finally bloomed, and its spiritual whiteness and graceful demeanor became the most beautiful scenery on the cliff. At this time, the weeds and butterflies no longer dared to laugh at it.

The lilies bloomed one by one, and every day there were crystal droplets on the flowers, and the weeds thought it was the dew of last night, and only the lilies themselves knew that they were tears of deep joy.

Every spring, the lily works hard to bloom and set seeds. Its seeds follow the wind and fall on the valleys, grasslands, and cliff edges, and everywhere they bloom with white lilies.

Decades later, people from hundreds of miles away, from the city, from the countryside, traveled thousands of miles to enjoy the lily blooming. Many children knelt down and sniffed the lilies; Many couples hugged each other and made a vow of "a hundred years of good union"; Countless people were moved to tears when they saw this beauty that they had never seen before, touching the pure and gentle corner of their hearts. It is known as the "Valley of Lilies".

No matter how others admire it, the lilies on the mountain remember the teaching of the first lily: "We must bloom silently with all our hearts and minds, and prove our existence with flowers." ”

The wisdom of the fox

On a fruity autumn day, an old fox stumbles past a walled vineyard.

It has a very sharp nose and a surprisingly intelligent head. With years of experience, he smelled that the grapes in this garden were very special, the best he had never tasted.

The old fox had eaten countless good grapes, and he even boasted to his companions: "There is no grape in the world that I have not eaten!" Faced with grapes that he had never tasted in this garden, his appetite and competitiveness were aroused. It secretly said to itself: "The fox who says that the grapes are sour when he can't eat the grapes is like a soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal, and is the most unproductive." ”

So, he vowed to eat the grapes here, or he would never leave. But when it circled around twice, it realized that the walls of the vineyard were too high for it to jump on. After some careful searching, it finally found a small hole that allowed access to the vineyard. However, the hole was too small for it to pass through. After thinking about it for a moment, it made a decision: go on a hunger strike to lose weight.

After three days of hunger strike, the old fox really lost weight, and it was able to enter the vineyard through that little hole. As expected, the grapes in this vineyard were by far some of the best it had ever eaten. So he let go of his stomach and ate in the garden for three days. After that, it was ready to hurry away. If you delay for a long time, you may be in danger.

At this time, a new problem arose: because he had eaten too many grapes for several days, he had gained weight again and could no longer get out of that small hole. In desperation, it had to go on a hunger strike again, this time one day longer than the last time. Using this method, its body finally became as thin as it had been when it first entered, and it emerged through the hole again.

When he got home, he told two other old foxes who were also experienced in eating grapes, and asked them: "Is it worth it?" and one of the old foxes said: "You have lost weight by taking more steps, which means that you have not eaten anything, and you are still risking your life, of course it is not worth it." Another old fox said, "You took a lot of risks, but it was worth it for you to eat grapes that you had never eaten before." ”

The dialogue between the old foxes embodies a reflection on life: when a person's life is based on possession, he is destined to wander between the pain of unfulfilled possessiveness and the boredom of possessiveness after it has been satisfied; When a person's life is based on construction, he will be in the pursuit of the goal when he has not reached the goal and the taste of reaching the goal.

The former is undoubtedly a tragedy of a dilemma; The latter is a happy life.

Foxes aren't bad

The fox was not smart and had no bad intentions. One day, the fox met the fairy and asked her to give it wisdom. The fairy took out a fairy fruit and gave it to the fox to eat. The fox ate the fairy fruit and immediately became wise, and everyone praised him for his cleverness and ability.

One day, the witch saw the fox and said, "It is not enough for you to be wise, but even more so if you were a little greedy."

The fox said to himself, "It seems that this 'greed' must be a good thing."

The witch took out a black pill and told the fox to swallow it. After swallowing it, the fox thought that this pill was good, and hurriedly said, "You can give me another 100, 1,000 pills of this pill!"

The witch smiled and said, "This pill will cure as soon as you eat it, and you will become greedy as soon as you eat it." Well, now you're both talented and greedy, and you're the greatest animal in the world. ”

Since then, the fox has a bad heart. It tricked the crow into eating the meat, tricked the rooster out to eat it, and bit the duck to death, and became more and more insatiable, and everyone hated it. When the fairy found out, she said with emotion: "If I had known that the fox would accept greed, I would not have given it wisdom in the first place." The combination of intelligence and greed can only breed evil!"

It's called 'monkey tricking'

The father took his son to the zoo, and when he walked to the monkey area, the father said to his son, "Do you want to see the monkey show?"

The son said, "Yes!"

Dad grabbed a popcorn and threw it high at the monkey. I saw the old monkey leap forward, catch the popcorn in mid-air, and then lightly fall to the ground and stuff the popcorn into his mouth.

Dad took out another popcorn and threw it up, and the old monkey took another leap......

The son asked his father, "Why do you bother to throw popcorn so high, and throw it on the ground for the monkey to pick up and eat?"

Dad said, "Silly boy, if you don't throw the popcorn high, will the monkey jump up You see how funny the monkey dances, it's called 'man playing monkey'."

Inside the fence, the little monkey was also asking the old monkey: "Mom, why did you jump so high to catch popcorn and wait for the popcorn to fall on the ground and then pick it up and eat it?"

The old monkey said, "Silly boy, if I don't jump up and catch the popcorn and tease him, will he throw popcorn again, this is called 'monkey tricking'."
