A fable about the ordinary.

You can make extraordinary achievements in ordinary posts.

Xu Hu is an ordinary plumber in Shanghai Housing Management Institute. He has worked in this position for 30 years. In the past 30 years, he has been like an old ox, unknown and hard-working, because his heart is full of residents.

In June, 1985, three striking "special boxes for emergency repair of water and electricity" appeared in Xu Hu's neighborhood committees, telephone rooms and alleys. Since then, every night at 7 o'clock, Xu Hu always unpacked the box on time and provided services door to door according to the repair list. Since then, Xu Hu's mind has lost the concept of time and holidays. 10 years, Xu Hu spent eight New Year's Eve in solving problems for the masses. He is not afraid of being dirty or tired. He drilled sewers, cleaned excrement pipes, repaired faucets and unlocked doors.

Xu Hu, an ordinary and great plumber of Shanghai Real Estate Bureau, has made extraordinary achievements in his ordinary post and won the respect of the society.

An ordinary person, who doesn't pursue fame and fortune, does ordinary work, without flowers and applause, can't get glory and praise. This kind of ordinary actually breeds greatness; Such a person deserves people's respect, because he has a lofty idea in his heart: to do work beneficial to the public.

The general history of celebrities

(Great comes from ordinary)

Andersen is a fairy tale writer. He was an apprentice and a theater handyman.

Before the poet Whitman became famous, he worked as a carpenter, compositor, primary school teacher and editor.

Before the writer Dickens became famous, he was an apprentice, calligrapher and journalist in a shoe store.

Mark Twain used to be a compositor, navigator and miner.

Gorky did more. He worked as a baker, apprentice, cook, dock coolie and railway worker.

As Zola said: "Without ordinary experience, it is impossible to produce great achievements."

Living "martyr"

(Ordinary breeds greatness)

Wei Wei, a famous writer, wrote an essay called "Who is the cutest person". The article describes a heroic battle of SongGu Feng. Among those martyrs who fought the enemy with fire, there was a man named Li Yu 'an. However, this "martyr" did not die and is still alive today. After being rescued, he returned to his hometown in Heilongjiang and became an ordinary grain depot worker. He has been working hard for decades and never boasted about his past to anyone. Until 1990, people knew that he was a hero on the Korean battlefield. Many people were puzzled and even regretted that he had not been treated as he deserved. Li Yu 'an, on the other hand, gave up all kinds of generous treatment that he could have received, and chose to be an ordinary and ordinary worker, silently dedicating his life's energy. This ordinary life also shines with dazzling brilliance.

Einstein pursued the ordinary.

Great men also have an ordinary side.

After Einstein became famous, the king and queen of Belgium once invited him to be a guest. At the appointed time, the king sent a palace car to meet him at the railway station. The train pulled into the station, and the driver looked for the great scientist everywhere. In his mind, Einstein must be a well-dressed and elegant professor, but he didn't find the shadow of this great scientist until all the passengers dispersed. He had to drive back empty and report to the king, "The professor didn't come today." Half an hour later, Einstein walked to the palace. People looked at him: wearing a dusty raincoat and a pair of old leather shoes. How can a driver who only looks at clothes and doesn't recognize people think he is the famous scientist?

Lenin's works

(There is greatness in the ordinary)

Lenin, the great revolutionary mentor, still took time out of his busy schedule to take part in ordinary labor.

1920 On May 6th, Lenin took part in voluntary labor in the Kremlin together with workers and staff. When a worker was carrying wood, he said to Lenin, "Let's do this work. You have more important work to do! " Lenin replied: "At this time, this work is crucial. "How thought-provoking this statement is!

Americans' view of heroes

(Ordinary breeds greatness)

An American company teamed up with the media to survey people on the topic "Who is your hero" and selected 20 heroes in your heart. In addition to celebrities, there are 10 "heroes of life" in the selection results. Although they are not well-known, their "heroic feats" are very intriguing. Let's see:

A soldier named Hugh Thompson joined the army in 1967 to fight in Vietnam. In order to save nine Vietnamese civilians from slaughter in the encirclement of the United States, he pointed his gun at his comrades: "You shoot, I will shoot!" " His behavior was criticized at that time and was formally investigated, but later the Pentagon awarded him the Vietnam War Medal. He ranks second in the list of "Heroes of Life".

Another soldier who also participated in the Vietnam War was named John? MacKay, he stayed in Vietnam for six years from 1967, but he didn't go to the battlefield for six years, but stayed in a Vietnamese prison camp. It is such a prisoner of war that after returning to China, he was not only regarded as a hero, but also a "cadre" (stepping into politics). He ranks sixth on the list.

There is also a black lady named Rosa parks. 1 955 65438+February1,Parks crowded the bus after work. Tired, she sat in a white seat and refused to give up her seat for a rude white man. She was taken to court for this. Later, it triggered a nationwide black civil rights movement. She ranks ninth on the list.

An ordinary feat that touched thousands of people.

(Spanning the distance between the ordinary and the great)

2001165438+1On October 29th, the memorial service for hero Zhou Guangyu was held in Shizigang Funeral Home.

18 days ago, Zhou Guangyu was brave in front of Nanjing Railway Station, and he was stabbed six or seven times by gangsters and died heroically.

Zhou Guangyu's heroic deeds touched the citizens. People talk about him and learn from him. The warmth of the party and the government also poured into Lao Zhou's family. ...

These days, we walked into Lao Zhou's home, into the farm and factory where Lao Zhou once worked, into the street where Lao Zhou lived, and chatted with many people who were familiar with Lao Zhou ... Gradually, a living Lao Zhou stood up in front of us-there were no brave words and few deeds that made people cry. The most profound impression he left on people was his "ordinary" and "ordinary"

But in these seemingly ordinary lives, we feel the valuable qualities of this ordinary person more and more clearly. No matter for work, life, family or society, Zhou Guangyu has been practicing the moral code of an excellent citizen for decades. Perhaps it is this extraordinary ordinary that makes each of us, whether strangers or strangers, deeply moved. ...

He is down-to-earth and diligent-for 40 years, what he has done is unremarkable work, but in every post, he always does everything carefully. Everyone who has worked with him says that he is a good colleague and a good employee.

He loves life-he never complains about the difficulties after being laid off, but he is always self-reliant, optimistic and full of confidence in life. People who know him well say that no matter how hard life is, he can't be crushed.

He knows right from wrong-he is honest and doesn't talk much on weekdays, but in the face of right and wrong, he always dares to be true and stand up in times of crisis. People who know him well say that it is not surprising that he dared to hit a gangster this time.

He is respected-he is doing hard work in the society with little income, but he always has others in his heart. People around me say that such a good man is worthy of trust and respect.

Pan Jin painted it.

(unremitting efforts are the conditions from ordinary to extraordinary)

After graduating from Shanghai Art Institute, Pan Jin, a contemporary painter, returned to his hometown to sell paintings for a living and lived a very ordinary life. He studies painting hard and often writes nonstop for more than ten hours. In the evening, he paints under the kerosene lamp. He also found a good way to treat drowsiness. Whenever painting at night is sleepy and difficult to control, he puts his arm on the lampshade, and the hot kerosene lamp cover makes a "scowl". The sharp pain dispelled his drowsiness, and he pulled himself together and continued to paint. Over time, he left several black scars on his left elbow. He studied painting hard and finally succeeded. His fish paintings are different in style and unique, and are well-known at home and abroad.

Willing to be an ordinary military wife

(Ordinary, but not simple)

From 65438 to 0997, Han Suyun was transferred to Nanning Finance Bureau, Guangxi, and now he works as a bill manager in the Bureau of Extra-budgetary Funds. On the New Year's Eve, many companies had a holiday, and Han Suyun stuck to his office for fear that someone would pay the bill.

Han Suyun, who has a sick leg, almost never asks for leave, and never arrives late or leaves early. Although she goes to Guangzhou to see a doctor every year, Han Suyun takes the initiative to arrange it in her spare time. "They especially like buying Han Suyun's money," his colleague once said. Every day, 300 to 400 people pay the bill. Han Suyun is always at a loss, but she never makes mistakes.

Han Suyun told reporters that she was an ordinary person before she became famous, and never thought about making some profits by using the "celebrity effect". Even the car that the bureau took care of her declined again and again, and bought her a tricycle for the disabled, relying on it for everything, business and private affairs, and occasionally the office taxi fare was not reimbursed.

Huang, the collection management section, commented on Han Suyun: "I am serious, hardworking, solid and excellent." Han Suyun's colleagues also admire her: "She is optimistic and she will face any difficulties bravely." According to colleagues, when Han Suyun went to work in the Finance Bureau, he was 37 years old and had only junior high school education. In her spare time, she insisted on completing the correspondence course of economic management major in the Central Party School and obtained the undergraduate diploma. Last year, the company fully implemented data management. Han Suyun began to learn from her daughter at home and her colleagues at work. Now, Han Suyun is familiar with software. After learning computer, it is reasonable to say that she doesn't have to spend time sorting out piles of bill transaction records, but she still carefully registers the bill transaction records in a notebook for "backup". In 2002, Han Suyun was awarded "Excellent party member" by Nanning Finance Bureau.

Green mile

Even mortals can work miracles.

Zhang Jiawang, the husband of a farmer cow in northern Shaanxi, contracted a sandy wasteland at 1983 and decided to turn it into an oasis. Soon after, Zhang Jiawang died of cancer. Niu Qinyu and his three sons continued to work hard for more than ten years and paid unimaginable hardships. Finally, the sandy wasteland of 17000 mu was covered with green shade, and big trees grew. After her success, she followed her husband's wishes and took out her first income of 7,000 yuan to build a primary school. She took a word from her husband's name and her own name and named it "Jia Yulin Chang" and "Qin Wang Primary School" respectively. People praised Niu Qinyu for creating a "green mileage". Therefore, in 1993, FAO solemnly awarded Niu Qinyu the "Dr. Rao Award", and only three people in the world won this honor this year. 1995, China selected the top ten outstanding women, with cattle among the best.

Civilian artist Zhao

(Ordinary is not mediocre, but sublime)

Zhao, a famous comedian, died of lung cancer, which aroused the infinite regret of China people. On the day of the memorial service, nearly 20,000 unknown people rushed to the scene to see the civilian artist off.

On the night of the Spring Festival in 1989, Zhao became famous with his sketch "A Day of Hero Mother". As a matter of fact, she has long been a very successful actress, and her new co-productions with Pingju stars, Flower as Media and Sister Yang, have undoubtedly become the treasures of China art world. Later, Zhao attended the Spring Festival gala for several years in a row, and never put on airs, regardless of his sixties or seventies. When arranging "work adventure", you should write the word "genuine" on the spot. She has never been exposed to calligraphy at all, but she studies hard at home and plays freely. When performing China Kung Fu, her feet were so swollen that she couldn't put on her shoes, but she still gritted her teeth and kicked her feet on the stage. In the last year, she was diagnosed with cancer and insisted on rehearsing while taking medicine. She listened to the tape and recited the theme song of Titanic sentence by sentence, but she sang it vividly.

Zhao endured her own pain and brought joy to people, and people also expected to know her. But when someone wanted to write an autobiography for her, she said, "Why? Let people make irresponsible remarks. Besides, the book is not chosen and written ... "But it was politely declined. Before she died, she told her children: "I am an ordinary person, so I should come and go in an ordinary way." Zhao's sketches make the people of China feel the highest spiritual concern in the great changes of society, and they are filled with loftiness and justice in the ordinary.

"I'm a civilian"

(Great comes from ordinary)

Dr. Sun Yat-sen is a great revolutionary forerunner. He served as the temporary president of the Republic of China and enjoyed a high reputation among the people of the whole country, but he often regarded himself as an ordinary civilian.

Once he went to work in the presidential palace, forgot to bring his papers, and he was not allowed to enter without them, so although he had arrived at the door of the presidential palace, he returned to his residence and got a pass.

In Guangzhou, he heard that it would cost 15 yuan to give a speech, so he insisted on walking instead of taking the bus.

When the Zhongshan couple traveled to Hangzhou, they wore ordinary clothes and sunglasses to avoid being noticed. But it was found by three policemen at the railway station. So the police kept saying, "We are here to protect the nobles." Dr. Sun Yat-sen said to the police: "The duty of the police is to maintain local public order. I am a civilian. Why should I protect it? " Go back to your mission! "

Experts' housework

(Ordinary things are extraordinary)

Chen Zhongwei is a world-famous surgeon, who initiated the miracle of replantation of severed limbs in medical history. After becoming famous, Chen Zhongwei still likes to do housework in his spare time. When a guest came to visit, his wife said, "My family depends on him to kill chickens and geese. He likes to do this. " Chen Zhongwei regards cutting fish and killing chickens as a comparative anatomy that he needs to be familiar with in this field. When killing a chicken, he studied the similarity between the chicken's body, internal organs and human body. The distribution of chicken fibers, tendons and blood vessels ... are all his interests. Once, a patient's forearm was injured, resulting in ischemic muscle atrophy. When Chen Zhongwei had a muscle transplant, he cut the muscle from the patient's own chest to repair the forearm, and kept the function of the arm. This big muscle transplant in medicine originally benefited from the experience of killing chickens at home.

When Chen Zhongwei was young, he studied carpentry in his spare time. Although his skill is not good enough, he can use an axe, chisel and saw, and he can do a rough job. This set of skills is also used in orthopedics. He can also sew, cut scissors and entertain himself. He can sew and operate a sewing machine. This skill is also very useful in surgery. Especially when he later engaged in microsurgery, the flying needle thread on the cloth was completely integrated with the surgical technology in sewing, which showed the profound foundation of a clever doctor.

The invention of the external elevator

Many years ago, there were not enough elevators in a hotel, so I planned to add one. So the hotel invited architects and engineers to study how to add new elevators. Experts agree that the best way is to make a big hole on each floor and install a new elevator directly. After the scheme is confirmed, two experts sit in the hotel lobby to discuss the project scheme. Their conversation was heard by the sweeper.

The cleaner said to them, "If you make a big hole on each floor, it must be dirty and messy." The engineer glanced at the cleaner and said, "That's inevitable." The cleaner added, "I think it's best to close the hotel for a few days when we start work." The engineer said, "That's impossible. After a while, others thought the hotel was closed. Besides, it also affects income. " "If I were you," the cleaner said casually, "I would install the elevator outside the building." When engineers and architects heard this, they looked at each other for a while and marveled at the cleaner's idea. As a result, there has been a great change in the history of modern architecture-installing elevators outside the building.

Ordinary and extraordinary

When comparing the seriousness of China and Japan, Mr. Zhang Ruimin, president of Haier, once said: If a Japanese is allowed to wipe the table six times a day, the Japanese will carry it out to the letter and insist on wiping it six times a day; But if you let a China person do it, you may rub it six times on the first day, six times on the second day and five, four or three times on the third day. In the end, it went away. In view of this, he said, doing everything ordinary well is extraordinary.

The last words of Zen master

There was an old Zen master who suddenly collapsed rapidly, and he knew that he was going to die soon. Before he died, all his disciples gathered around him. At this moment, the Zen master suddenly cried sadly. Disciples were at a loss when they saw Master crying, because they were convinced that Master was an enlightened saint. Master's behavior is noble, admirable and wise, like an empty cloud. He is so compassionate that even an ant can't bear to hurt him.

"Master, why are you crying? Can it be said that Master has forgotten the day of practice? " The disciple asked. Jackson shook his head. "Did Master really forget to do good?" Jackson shook his head. "Or did Master ever have a restless heart?" Jackson shook his head again. Disciples asked many questions and got negative answers. One disciple said, "Master! You have no reason to cry. In your mind, your practice has reached the highest level. In your career, you are the most respected walker; You have become a saint, so what can you cry about? "

The Zen master said, "That's why I'm crying! I think the highest state is that standing in the crowd will not look special, my heart will be clear and not blindly worshipped, and I will live an ordinary life. I will be so sad when everyone says that I am extraordinary! "

In our life, everyone wants to go to a higher level, and it is best to be a saint and a sage. However, when we see the goal, we often ignore the significance of the process in life; When we think we have status, we will be self-righteous and ignore ordinary values.

It is difficult to "transcend the sacred", and it is even more difficult to "transcend the sacred to the mortal". Looking at the endless landscape, the boundary between sacred and mortal is actually very slim, and ordinary life is the place where body and mind can settle down.

See nobility in the ordinary.

The flood trapped a primary school. At that time, there were only four children in the school and he was a handyman.

He found a big wooden basin, and the children were crowded on it. He couldn't swim, but he pushed open the bathtub without hesitation and rushed to the flood himself. Finally, he miraculously survived.

A reporter interviewed him afterwards: "didn't you leave your death to yourself at that time?" What do you think? "

"It's very simple, just let the children live."

"This shows that you have great love."

"It's not that complicated, because my son is among these children."

The reporter was surprised and asked, "How did you survive the flood?"

He said, "It's also very simple, because I love my son very much, and I can't leave him without a father."

Ordinary is not simple.

I once asked a student: Do you want to be a great man and live vigorously, or do you want to be an ordinary person and live a simple life?

Student: I choose the latter.

Why? I was very surprised to hear that.

Because it's not easy to be an ordinary person. I want it, but I want to know the satisfaction; I love leisure and hate work, but I should know that no pains, no gains; I seek profit, but I must know the difference between profit and righteousness; I hope to be calm, but I don't want to disturb others; I love freedom, but it is not illegal; Always think of your family, but understand that there are no eggs under the nest. This is the minimum condition for ordinary people. It sounds easy, but it is not easy to do!

Ordinary is not mediocre.

The four main figures in The Journey to the West: Tang Priest's Master and Apprentice-the Monkey King, Glutton Pig and Friar Sand in bad karma. The first three characters have distinct personalities, and their stories are well known by writers and directors. Only one sand monk is neglected and lonely.

I think why do you want to shoot four people in Journey to the West? The sand monk can only play the role of evil karma like Bai, and will only carry heavy luggage and follow the team. If Kung Fu can't compare with the Monkey King who wields a golden hoop, even Pig Bajie's two rakes can't compare with him. Once he meets a monster, he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself. After every failure, he was put back, so he came and went, without any new ideas.

From ancient times to the present, people have always loved those heroes, Zhuge Liang, who is resourceful, and Guan Yu, who is affectionate and righteous ... As for mortals, they should at least have secular desires and edges. What about Friar Sand? Have you ever seen him sleep soundly? Have you ever seen him imposing? Without a little personality, can you not be ignored?

The most terrible thing in the world is mediocrity. People can achieve mediocrity or refuse mediocrity. Time has given us an opportunity to create mediocrity, and at the same time it has given us a weapon to reject mediocrity. Use time to prove, use mind to alert, use action to express-refuse mediocrity.

Only know the back

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Prime Minister Wang Dan had a groom who drove a carriage for him for five years. After the expiration of his service, he said goodbye to Wang Dan, but Wang Dan did not know him. When the groom turned to leave, Wang Dan immediately called out his name, and read his hard work and gave him a generous reward. It turns out that this groom only knows how to drive on weekdays, so it is difficult to show his face. Wang Dan was only familiar with his back, so he didn't know his face when he saw it. When the groom turned to go out, the familiar figure quickly evoked his memories.

In our real life, there are indeed a large number of people who work silently and honestly, without asking Wen Da. They are lovely and ordinary, quietly busy in a corner of life and devoted to their work. People can't see their positive appearance, but they can always see their busy figure. They never looked up from their work and showed their faces, winning applause from the scene.

Ordinary mentality is the most precious.

No matter how capable a person is, he can be ordinary. In the legendary swordsman, Liu Zhengfeng and Quyang dreamed of becoming ordinary people, but they couldn't play flute and piano all day, and finally found the most common place-death. The legendary swordsman and the legendary swordsman are geniuses of ordinary people. Death row inmates who struggle for power and profit finally get an ordinary life. They are really happy. Only when you smile well can you be proud.

Besides, to tell the truth, Comrade Cui is not a big shot, but he is a big shot, but it is really an ordinary blank. If he thought he was different, there wouldn't be so many millions of people watching TV every week, waiting to see his evil smile on his face.

Majority! Confucius is called a saint, and a threesome must have my teacher! It is a saint to learn from ordinary people.

In the final analysis, it is your own mentality. Ordinary and extraordinary do not come from your living standard and work performance, but actually from your own mentality.

Be an ordinary person, spoil and enjoy, insult and anger. Then we can abandon it and continue to live our mortal life, running in the morning and buying food in the morning market. Study hard every day, make progress every day, even if you don't promote yourself, get ahead, be extraordinary, and everyone knows it. Let's enjoy ourselves, work hard and enjoy the life of mortals. Why not?

Teach children to be ordinary.

Whenever children are asked what they will be when they grow up, the answers are always scientists, artists, writers, stars and so on. From their mouths, workers, farmers, drivers, nurses and so on can hardly be heard. The author is worried that the child's mind is so "noble". Imagine, when the climbing steps can't reach the ideal peak, can the lonely heart bear that kind of loss?

Therefore, the author believes that it is particularly important to cultivate children's ordinary consciousness in daily life, so that the "ordinary" sunshine can illuminate children's hearts, accompany their growth path, and let them face life and the future with a healthy attitude. Only in this way, children will not be discouraged and pessimistic when they encounter setbacks on their growth path, and they will not get carried away when they achieve results.

Children's ordinary consciousness is weak, which stems from their parents' narrow ideas of becoming famous, getting married and getting ahead. This concept will make children's life path narrower and narrower. Once you can't reach your goal, you may go to the opposite side, give up on yourself, and even commit suicide. This is very dangerous.

Ordinary does not mean mediocrity, mediocrity and nothing to pursue. "Ordinary" is to cultivate children's generous and practical good moral character and life style. Cultivating children's ordinary consciousness is not to oppose their pursuit of extraordinary success, but to cultivate children's awareness of ordinary people in life and the courage to fly in adversity, so as to shine in the ordinary and pursue Excellence in the ordinary. In this sense, teaching children to learn to be ordinary can not be ignored.

Should that be enough? Some are behaviors. . There are some fables. . But they are all good, and they also provide some ideas for writing. See if it helps you.
