Wealth is in you, where else to find it

The real wealth in the body, in addition to health first, is the mind.

There was a young man who was often dissatisfied with his poverty. He lamented every day that he could not have thousands of wealth, resenting both his parents and himself.

The wise old man could not look at it, so he asked the young man, "Why are you complaining when God and your parents have given you everything, and you have abundant wealth?" ”

"I have great wealth? Where? The young man asked the wise man eagerly.

"Sell me your bright eyes, give you 10 million."

"No, I can't lose my eyes."

"Well, then, sell me your hands! A pair of hands, worth at least 10 million; I'll give you fifteen million, and you'll cut off your hands for me. ”

"No, you can't lose your hands."

"Since you have a pair of eyes, you can learn; Since you have a pair of hands, you can work. Now, you see for yourself, plus the legs and the rest, it's worth about fifty million; How can we say that we are poor! The old man said with a smile.

In the same way, I was told that I still had a chance; Someone told me: I've failed. Health is invaluable. Poverty or not, is always relative. For people who are physically and mentally healthy, confidence is the greatest asset. Just make good use of this wealth.

Close your eyes and try to understand which position is best for you in the vast world of living beings, and what is best for you in your abilities. You can do your best in that position, and at the same time, life will give you the most rewards. You have to be clear about one thing: your "cosmic intelligence" knows where that location is, and it reminds you through your subconscious mind that if you are aware of it, you can discover it. You have to remember that this is your place, it needs you, it's yours, it's just there waiting for you, it's your power to take it. Before falling asleep each night, keep these thoughts in your head until you are confident that your consciousness has received enough information, and then go to sleep, and it will find out for you where it is hidden and how to connect with it. But I must warn you that it is not to be acquired, it is to be obtained! Take this matter seriously, and this position will come to you, or rather, you will come to this position; Next, the sun reappears in the sky with the arrival of a new day. If you can sum up this method effectively, you will find that what you were looking for before has begun to follow you.

You have to be firm in your heart with this belief:

If it's what you want to do, you can do it! There is no such thing as a lack of opportunity, and there is no such thing as one chance! You have to believe that there are no limits in your world, that you are full of opportunities, that the rules are made by you, and that you can relax them infinitely if you want to. Opportunities are always there, and they are always there.

Progress is made one step at a time, and each achievement is the accumulation of a series of small achievements. On the road to success, we receive a dividend for every step we take. Working in a down-to-earth manner may not necessarily lead to success, but you can gain peace of mind and the sweetness of life.

Inspirational short story to yourself who is not willing to be mediocre

Why bother others not to understand! Souls who are not understood are unwilling to be mediocre!

A mediocre soul has no connotation worthy of being understood, and therefore does not feel truly lonely. On the contrary, a person who has a truly unique sense of life and the world, a truly original thought, must desire to understand, but it must not be easy to understand, so he feels deeply lonely.

I believe that many people are actually unwilling to be an ordinary member of the crowd, but in the end, they are still ordinary and live a mediocre life. Because I am afraid of not being recognized by the mainstream, I am afraid of becoming an outlier, and I am afraid that my ideas will not be understood by others.

In my early memories, there was such a thing vaguely.

I don't know if it was a guest or what, but we all sat down to eat together, and in the middle of the table was a large bowl of boiled chicken thighs, which was still a relatively rare delicacy at that time.

The banquet was very lively, and the children were happy to eat one chicken leg each. Suddenly, I saw my grandmother busy in the kitchen next to me. I thought, if we eat all the chicken legs, won't grandma have to eat it?

I looked at the big bowl worriedly, because I was too small to see the bottom of the bowl. So I stood up, but I still couldn't see it, so I had to ask the adult for help: "Is there any chicken leg left?" Have you eaten them all? ”

My mother was embarrassed by the way I looked at me and said, "Isn't one chicken leg enough for you?" So greedy at such a young age! ”

I must have been very aggrieved at the time, or I would have had an impression after many years.

Of course, it is not pleasant to be misunderstood, but sometimes, it is also an honor to be misunderstood.

For example, for a child who is not as tall as a table, it is normal to want to eat an extra chicken leg, and I can't understand it, because I actually thought of keeping one for my grandmother among all the children who ate with relish.

When you are different from the public's expectations, you may be misunderstood, and it is hard to say that it is not an honor.

There is a disease called "secondary school disease", which refers to the second year of junior high school students, due to the development of self-awareness, often show unruly and pretentious symptoms.

People are not in the middle of the two vain teenagers, and our class used to be a place where the "secondary two diseases" broke out in a concentrated manner.

In the second year of junior high school, we actively used our newly developed opinions and began to comment on the things around us, as if we understood everything very well. The class leader has become our imaginary enemy, and we have 10,000 reasons to hate him collectively, the most important of which is that he is too good at sycophancy! Obviously, everyone took turns to wipe the blackboard, but he rushed to wipe the blackboard under the teacher's nose. It's enough to pat yourself on the back. Moreover, he also shows that he loves to learn, how can anyone like to learn such a boring thing? It's enough to please the teacher to this extent.

The most unbearable thing is that our every move can't escape the teacher's eyes, which one else will be the one who makes the small report? "Betraying friends for glory and becoming a traitor" is really enough!

The second year of junior high school is destined to be an era when inferior students despise excellent students.

But whether it was whispering or cynicism, it did not shake the squad leader's sycophant spirit. Moreover, the class leader's trick seemed to work, and the teachers smiled at the mention of him.

Out of jealousy and disgust, we decided to teach him a little lesson. One day, while the squad leader was not there, we applied a layer of wax oil in his workbook, the wax oil is very thin, and you can't see it, but if you want to put this word on it, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

This shift leader can't be a good baby, because he can't finish his homework in this enchanted workbook. We can't help but rejoice when we think of the class leader fighting in vain under the night light, and when we think of the teacher being disappointed and severely reprimanded the next day.

The next day, we waited for the squad leader to make a fool of himself, and we also waited for him to settle the score. As a result, everything was calm, and he wrote down the answer on a blank piece of paper, cut it into small pieces and pasted them in the corresponding position in the exercise book, without saying a word.

Where is the squad leader a scheming person, he loves to learn and is not pretending.

The reason why he was misunderstood by us was because he was not sick when we were all sick.

My college roommate, Yanan, was a stingy person.

Whether it's a bedroom dinner or karaoke, she can always find a reason not to go, leaving us regretted the situation of missing one. Yanan is not without money, not to mention her scholarship of several thousand yuan per semester, she has a lot of extra money just to translate for the website.

People, the richer you are, the more stingy you are, and the stingier you are, the richer you are.

Speaking of scholarships, there is a joke, Yanan took a huge scholarship from our school because of his excellent grades in his freshman year, which caused quite a stir. The classmates are waiting to share the blessings, thinking that a big meal is just around the corner, but there is no understanding of life. Some classmates were unwilling and asked us privately, how could Yanan not be able to be a person like this, there should always be something in your own dormitory, right?

Yes, one notebook per person.

Oh my God, notebook!

Our classmates with white eyes said that it is not a notebook that can be plugged in to watch movies, but a notebook where you wrote homework and took class notes when you were a child!

Yanan was unreasonably stingy.

During the winter and summer vacations, we all couldn't wait to go home, she didn't leave, continued to live in the dormitory, worked as a translator, and became a tutor, we asked her, do you miss home? She replied coldly, she didn't want to.

I really don't want to, because she usually doesn't even call her family, and when she asks, doesn't it cost money to call?

Raise money for everything, and even have no human touch. At that time, I really didn't understand, is money so important? Until one day, the roommate retrieved a postcard sent to Yanan from the communication room. Postcards with childish drawings are sent from far away.

The sender called her Sister Yanan and said that thanks to Sister Yanan's funding, she would be strong and brave in lonely days like her. It turns out that Yanan is not impersonal, she simply does not have a home that she can rely on at any time.

She's not stingy either, she's just learned the value of money in the days of self-reliance.

When we are accustomed to getting something for nothing and taking our parents' money to eat, drink and have fun, we think that we are cool and understand the world very well, and Yanan, who is constantly striving for self-improvement, has become the one who does not enter the stream.

We always measure others by popular standards. For example, you should be generous, tactful, marry and have children, and earn money to support your family.

We can easily understand such a person and call him a successful person. Moreover, we want to stuff everyone into this mold and become a well-behaved layman, even if the rules are just the rules of a group of laymen.

When the pigeon sees the eagle flying on the clouds, it must be incomprehensible, isn't it tiring to fly so high? It's miserable to fall.

When the sheep see the Tibetan antelope galloping all the way, they will probably shake their heads and sigh, life is too short, why be in such a hurry.

The salmon swimming against the current is even more stupid in the aquatic world, and even the frogs sitting in the well watching the sky have to grin at it.

Remember: thinking people are not too gregarious anywhere.

Don't try to make everyone understand you, it will appear like you're cheap.

People always want to be understood by all people, and hope that others can understand themselves, but if all people understand you and understand you, where is your personality highlighted? No one will think that you are so special, you are different from others, you will only become an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary, even if you walk face to face with others, you will be automatically ignored.

In the world, everyone is an island.

Not understood, it's not that you're too out of line in a certain aspect, it's likely that you're too good in a certain aspect.

If everyone understands you, how ordinary you should be. If you are not willing to settle for mediocrity, then accept that you are not understood!

Inspirational short story to yourself who is not willing to be mediocre

Take care of yourself

Good friend Lin, works in a nationally renowned 985 university.

Many people envy Lin, who has a decent job, a simple environment, and a fixed cold and summer. Even the whole person's temperament and conversation are nourished by the work to shine.

Klin's job is the dean's secretary, and God knows how hard it is.

The dean usually arrives at the office around eight o'clock, and Lynn arrives on time at half past seven every day. Simply tidy up, brush a cup of boiling water, soak a pot of warm Zhengshan seeds, and then put the documents, glasses, and medicines to be used that day on the dean's table one by one.

The dean is on a business trip, and Lynn is going to follow; The dean is in a meeting, and Lynn is waiting; The dean is entertaining, and Lin wants to accompany him...... Even when the dean took a break, Lin was responsible for remembering and blocking Yiying's visits.

At the end of the day, it is often already 90 o'clock in the evening. When Lynn returns home, she must not only be ready to respond to emergencies or text summonses; You also have to work overtime for two or three hours, sort out the records and ticketing data of the day, and arrange the itinerary and data reserve for the next day.

Although I work in colleges and universities, I have fixed weekends and cold and summer; But as the dean's secretary, Lynn's weekday break never exceeded seven hours a day.

But every time she meets Lynn on any occasion, she is always energetic, well-made, and smiling.

I was particularly curious about how Lynn managed to live a good and decent life in such a job. I talked to her once, and I learned her living habits.

Lin gets up at half past five every day, and what wakes her up is not the noisy ringtone that comes with her mobile phone, but the melodious piano music that has not been the same for five days. When Ms. Lin got up, she cooked a pot of carrot and corn soup to nourish her stomach and stomach, and then went to the bathroom to take a head-to-toe shower to ensure that she was in high spirits and refreshed as a secretary all day.

When everything is ready to be dressed up, the soup is ready. Lin can also calmly taste a pot of "red and yellow" on the dining table, with the energy and warmth overflowing from the bottom of her heart, shining brightly......

Lin said that when she first joined the company five years ago, she was at a loss for work in the face of a sea of work, and she thought about escaping several times.

The main point of a secretary's job is to take care of and tidy up. So she gradually learned to "pull out the cocoon" in the "intertwined" affairs, and turned the situation of "stormy storm" into "clear moonlight"...... And if you want to find an exit in a thousand things, you must first learn to take care of your emotions and yourself in a complex environment.

In the morning, while making a cup of black tea for the dean, Lin learned to make herself a cup of rose lemon tea with boiling hot water. I would even stop for a minute or two to watch the purple buds bloom and bloom in the blue and white porcelain cup......

When the dean has a meeting, she will stand in a clear window and admire the ginkgo biloba and sycamore in different cities and colleges after she has a clear understanding of her work; I will also exchange work experience with my fellow secretaries who have long been familiar with each other, and talk about all aspects of life......

When working overtime in the evening, Lin applied a mask while lighting a soothing old mountain sandalwood...... Listen to the sound of keyboard tapping in the quiet of the night and enjoy an indescribable happiness at work.

Therefore, Lynn's complexion always looks ruddy, her complexion is always superior, her spirit is still high, her dress is always elegant, and more importantly, she always maintains a high passion for work and life.

Five years later, Lin is more passionate about this job. Not only because she can go to see the mountains and the sea during the winter and summer vacations; It's all the more because of the achievement, ascension and fun that the job itself has brought her.

People who can't challenge the difficulties of life can't enjoy the beauty of life as it is.

People who can truly control their lives and work often can also control themselves and their lives.

If you take care of yourself, your life, family, and work will be all good.

When everything around you is fine, you can be really good.

A few months ago, I went to another city to visit my grandmother, who is in her eighties.

Because she brought some Hunan specialties, her grandmother took out 1/2 of the box, and Zhang Luo wanted to send it to her old girlfriend who lived in the same yard, saying that Grandma Qiao had lived in Hunan and must like the taste from her hometown.

I carried my grandmother up a long hill to a house with a garden. Grandma Joe lives on the first floor, and her yard has a row of small daisies and sunflowers, a large patio umbrella, and a comfortable lounger.

We rang the doorbell for a long time, and the host opened the door late. Grandma Qiao's ears were not very good, so we raised our voice and repeated it a few times, and she roughly understood that this was a friend's granddaughter who came from Hunan and gave her some refreshing cured meat and rice cakes.

Grandma Qiao's ears are not very good, but she is in good spirits, she wears a hollow black shawl, gold-rimmed glasses, and slightly curly silver hair, which has the elegant demeanor of an old lady of the Republic of China.

She invited us to walk through the sunny courtyard into her house, and I learned that in this huge house of more than 100 square meters and yard, only Grandma Qiao, who was in her eighties, lived alone.

Later, I heard from my grandmother that Grandma Qiao's wife passed away more than 30 years ago. Because the three children are scattered in different parts of the country, Grandma Qiao is so strong that she does not want to live with her children; She also did not let her children move from another city to live with her.

Grandma Qiao can indeed live a good life alone. She loves to grow flowers, and many old ladies in the yard ask for flower seeds from her; She is good at singing, and when there is a party in the yard, the old lady always presents a nostalgic old Soviet song.

But when more family members were happy and the green smoke was rising, this old lady was pacing alone, going out to buy vegetables alone, cooking at home, cleaning the table and sweeping the floor, and taking medicine alone along the marked rope box.

It's hard to say whether Grandma Qiao's life is good or not, there are about 10,000 opinions in the eyes of 10,000 people.

But I do believe that this must be the most beautiful way for Grandma Qiao to live under the current circumstances: neither dragging down the child nor wronging herself; It not only reassures the child, but also makes himself happy.

Since life is like this, I always have to find a way to make myself better.

In the past, I always thought that those women who lived a beautiful life, elegant and tranquil, were most likely the darlings of fate, because they were stable and rich in life, so they were comfortable and full of spring breeze.

Later, I gradually discovered that no matter how noble life is, there are times when I am sad and depressed......

More often than not, the essence of our lives is the same: joys and sorrows, high and low.

The difference.

Some people can bloom from suffering in relatively difficult days;

And some people can live a full life even in relatively peaceful days.

A wise woman always leaves an outlet for bitterness and an entrance for sweetness......

Those women who are always bathed in beauty have just learned to take proper care of themselves in any situation.
