Moral of the story: Our mistake is that the outside world has changed us too much.

A short story with philosophy (15) 2 This is a real and thought-provoking event.

Not long ago, a French educational psychologist gave French pupils and Shanghai pupils the same questions: There are 86 cows and 34 sheep in a boat. Q: How old is the captain of this ship?

The answer of French primary school students is that more than 90% of the students raised objections, thinking that this test question could not be answered at all, and even laughed at the teacher's "confusion". Obviously, these students' answers are correct. The answer of primary school students in Shanghai is just the opposite: 80% students have answered carefully, aged 86-34 = 52. Only 10% students think this question is ridiculous and can't be answered. Only 10% of the students answered correctly!

The French educational psychologist was surprised. Why is there such a big difference between primary school students in the two countries? After investigating 80% of primary school students in Shanghai, he found that they made the wrong answer because they firmly believed: "Teachers usually educate us and only answer questions can we score;" If you don't do it, you won't even get a point. Teachers' questions are always right, and there are always standard answers. It is impossible without a solution and impossible without an answer. "

In summing up these two experiments, French educational psychologists quoted the following words:

The first sentence was said by Descartes: Doubt is the method.

The second sentence is what Faraday said: don't blindly follow the master academically, he should value people more than others, and truth should be his primary goal.

The third sentence was said by Einstein: the process of scientific discovery is a leap from curiosity to doubt.

Then, he said with great emotion: "We should educate children to respect teachers, but more importantly, we should educate children to respect the truth. Doubt is not a fault, but always endless doubt is a fault. Only by daring to doubt can blind obedience be reduced. Where there is doubt, there is truth, and truth is the shadow of doubt. "

A short story with philosophy (15) 3 Hunters have caught all kinds of animals except foxes. Because this animal is too cunning to run fast. Often as soon as the hunter picks up the gun, the fox runs away without a trace.

However, the hunter is determined to compete with the fox. Knowing that there was an old fox on a mountain, he prepared enough bullets to go up the mountain and hide in the grass where foxes often haunt.

The fox really came. He jumped on the rock and wandered around for a while. His sharp eyes immediately found the uninvited guests in the grass. It realized that the hunter's goal was not other animals but himself, and this time it stopped running. It believes that it is extremely intelligent, has quick reaction and judgment ability, and will run away as long as the hunter moves.

The fox made a feint, and the hunter did shoot the soil in front of it. The fox laughed at the success of his plan: "hey, do you still want to hit me at this level?" Bud joke? Select "

The hunter ignored the fox's ridicule and continued to aim and shoot. "bang? Select ""Bang? Select "Bang Bang"? All the bullets fired by "Selection" failed.

The fox smiled proudly. It rolled down the rock around a round stone, and the stone ran quickly. The hunter thought the fox had escaped, so he immediately stood up and chased the fox. He tripped over the grass. The hunter lost a big bag on his forehead, his hands trembled a little, and his body was covered with grass clippings, which was very embarrassing.

The fox stood on the rock, grinning. He danced happily and shouted, "Ha ha ha? Look at you before. Have you run out of bullets? Bud will come again, and I will accompany you to the end? Select "

The hunter rubbed his head and said to the fox, "You can laugh at me because it's really hard for me to hit you. Even so, I made a mistake once and lost only one bullet; If you make a mistake, you will lose your life. "

The fox's face changed, and a strong sense of crisis surrounded it. It shook its hair and tried to run away, but it jumped too long just now, and its hands and feet were a little weak. At this moment, the hunter pulled the trigger.

The bullet hit the fox in the heart. It fell heavily on the ground, and at the moment before dying, it regretted it very much-because it had a chance to escape.

Philosophy Short Story (15) 4 Want to see bears in winter.

Winter is coming, and it's time for the bear family to hibernate. But the bear refused to go back to sleep in the cave: "Mom, I want to see winter, I don't want to sleep!" " The little squirrel told me everything about winter. He said that there is snow everywhere, everything is white, and there are many children making snowmen. Mom, I don't want to sleep. I want to have a look. "

Mother Bear touched the little bear's head and said, "Son, winter is not a good season for us." We should sleep comfortably in the cave to avoid the cold in winter. Come on, bear, let's go back to the cave, it's going to snow! "

"No, no, I want to see winter!" The bear cried.

Mother bear carried him back to the cave, held him in her arms and hummed him to sleep. Slowly, the bear fell asleep. ...

At this time, something strange happened: the bear felt that he was not in the hole, but standing outside in the snow. There is snow everywhere outside, just as the little squirrel told him. Bell saw icicles hanging on the roof of the city, saw snowmobiles and heard the jingle of bells.

Bell also saw children sliding down the hill on sleigh, some children sliding on the ice in the pond, and a group of children making snowmen and having snowball fights on both sides of the street. ...

"Winter is so beautiful!" Bear thought for a moment and murmured, "Mom, I see winter." The bear curled up with a chubby body and slept soundly.

One night, very late, an elderly couple walked into a hotel. They want a room. The receptionist replied, "Sorry, our hotel is full, and there are no rooms left." Looking at the tired appearance of the old couple, the waiter couldn't bear to let the old couple go out late at night to find another place to live. Moreover, in such a small town, I'm afraid other hotels have long been full and closed. Won't this tired old man sleep on the street late at night?

The waiter stayed up all night, so he stayed at the front desk all night. The two old people were very moved. The old man said, "son, you are the best hotel manager I have ever seen." You will be rewarded. " The waiter smiled and said nothing.

A short story with philosophical meaning (15) 6 A young monk named Mind came to the Jungle Temple. He is diligent and studious, smart and agile, and is highly valued by the Zen master. However, after years of hard thinking, I have not improved, but I am still smart and savvy.

The mind seems to have lost confidence in itself. One day, he found Master Tong Ming alone and begged him to guide him. Tong Ming, an elderly Zen master, thinks that he is old and weak, and his future is dim, and he is also trying to enlighten his disciples. So, regardless of his unhealthy legs and feet, he tried to lead his mind to find a new way.

When the master and his disciples came to a very narrow bridge, their minds saw the shaking of the master. They were worried that the master would fall into the river if he walked unsteadily, so they hurried to help Master Tong Ming. Zen master Tong Ming insisted on not letting his disciples help him, saying to his heart: The road should be taken by himself, the bridge should be crossed by himself, the gas should be breathed by himself, and the water should be drunk by himself. . . . . . Leave me alone. I'll go by myself.

When you make it clear, your mind suddenly becomes enlightened.

On the road of study and life, no matter what excellent tutors and sages you meet, the road to progress and the bridge to success, you will ultimately have to rely on yourself.

A philosophical story (15) 7 Two horses each pull a truck. One horse walks fast, the other one walks slowly. So the shopkeeper moved all the goods from the back to the front. The horse behind smiled: "Cut! The harder you work, the more you blow up! " Who knows, the master thought later: since one horse can pull a cart, why keep two horses? Finally, the lazy horse was slaughtered and eaten. This is the lazy horse effect in economics.

Revelation: Let the boss think that you are dispensable, and the day when you are kicked out is not far away.

A short story with philosophy (15) 8 On the first day, the white rabbit went fishing and found nothing. The next day, it went fishing again, as usual. On the third day, as soon as it arrived, a big fish jumped out of the river and shouted, If you dare to use carrots as bait again, I will kill you!

Feeling:

What you give is what you want to give.

It's not what the other person wants,

Living in your own world is worthless.

A short story with philosophy (15) 9 A Taoist had an apprentice who complained. One day, a Taoist priest put a handful of salt into a glass of water for his disciples to drink.

Disciple said: salty is bitter.

The Taoist priest sprinkled more salt into the lake so that his disciples could taste it again.

Disciple said after drinking: pure and sweet.

The Taoist priest said: the pain of life is salt, and its salinity depends on the container in which it is held.

Feeling:

People who always complain about the world,

It's not that the world is too bad,

Your mind is too narrow.

A short story with philosophy (15) 10 years ago, a young man left his hometown and started his own future. His first stop was to visit the patriarch of his own family and ask for advice. The old patriarch is practicing calligraphy. He heard that a junior in his family had begun to embark on the journey of life, so he wrote a sentence: Don't be afraid. Then he looked up at the young man and said, "Son, the secret of life is only three words. I'll tell you one today for half your life. " A few years later, once young people have reached middle age, with some achievements and a lot of sadness. After a long journey home, he visited the patriarch again. When he arrived at the patriarch's house, he realized that the old man had passed away several years ago. His family took out a sealed envelope and said to him, "This was left to you by my father before his death. He said you would come again one day. " The wanderer who came home remembered hearing half the secrets of life here many years ago and opened the envelope. There are three big characters in it: don't regret it.

Secret: Don't be afraid before middle age, and don't regret after middle age.

A short story with philosophy (15) 1 1 Early in Alaska, a young couple got married and had children. His wife died in childbirth, leaving a child.

He is busy living and looking after the house. He trained a dog because no one helped to look after the children. Dogs are smart and obedient, can take care of children, can bite bottles to feed children and can raise children.

One day, the master went out and asked him to take care of the children.

He went to another village and couldn't come back that day because of the heavy snow. I can't get home until the next day, and the dog will come out to see his master at once. He opened the door and saw blood everywhere. He looked up, there was blood on the bed and the child was gone. The dog is nearby, and its mouth is full of blood. After discovering this situation, the owner thought that the dog was sexually assaulted and ate the child. In a rage, he cut the dog's head with a knife and killed it.

Then I suddenly heard the child's voice, saw him climb out from under the bed and picked him up. Although he had blood on him, he was not hurt.

He's weird. I don't know what's going on. Look at the dog's body. There is no meat on his leg. There is a wolf next to him, still biting dog meat in his mouth. The dog saved the little master, but he was killed by the master by mistake. This is really the most amazing misunderstanding in the world.

Misunderstanding occurs when people are often ignorant, irrational, impatient, lack of thinking, unable to understand each other in many ways, self-reflection and extremely impulsive feelings ~ ~

At the beginning of misunderstanding, I always only thought about each other's mistakes. So the misunderstanding will get deeper and deeper and get out of hand. If people misunderstand ignorant animals and puppies, there will be such terrible and serious consequences. The consequences of this misunderstanding between people are even more unimaginable.

A short story with philosophy (15) 12 It is said that a prime minister in ancient times asked a barber to have a haircut. When the barber trimmed the Prime Minister halfway, he was probably too nervous and accidentally shaved off the Prime Minister's eyebrows. Alas! It's terrible, he secretly complained. Suddenly terrified, knowing that the prime minister will inevitably blame, that would be more than one bargained for!

Barber is a frequent traveler and knows the general psychology of people: no anger will disappear under praise. He was in a hurry and suddenly woke up! Hurriedly stopped the razor and deliberately looked at the Prime Minister's stomach with his eyes and waited for a while, as if to see through the Prime Minister's insides.

The Prime Minister was puzzled to see him like this. He asked inexplicably, "Why do you just look at my stomach and don't shave?"

The barber plays dumb and explains, "People often say that a prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach. I don't think adults have big bellies. How can they punt? " The Prime Minister laughed at the barber's words: "This is the reason why the Prime Minister is most generous. He can tolerate small things and never cares. "

Hearing this, the barber plopped down on his knees and said with tears streaming down his face, "Damn little guy, I accidentally shaved off grandpa's eyebrows just now!" Master Xiang is generous, please forgive me. "

When the Prime Minister heard this, he felt very ironic: how can I meet people in the future when my eyebrows have been shaved? I can't help but fly into a rage, and I'm about to have a fit, but I think calmly: I'm just saying that the Prime Minister has the greatest tolerance. How can I punish him for such a trifle?

Then, the Prime Minister said gently and generously, "Nothing, just get the eyebrows."

The leader is tolerant and admirable. But when your subordinates make a big mistake, it's really hard to get rid of it. Do you still need to pamper and shelter him?

A short story with philosophy (15) 13 Abandon greed in your heart.

Zhou Bo, the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty, fought against the State of Qin together with Liu Bang, and made many meritorious deeds, and was named the marquis of crimson. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, he led troops to quell the rebellion in Han Xin and pay homage to Qiu. After the death of high-impedance Liu Bang, Zhou Bo and Chen Ping designed to seize the military power of the Lu family, wiped out the kings of the Lu family in one fell swoop, and made them emperors. Liu Heng thanked Zhou Bo for his help and promoted him to the position of Prime Minister. Zhou Bo didn't give in. He was very generous to his position.

Because Zhou Bo has been fighting for many years, he seldom studies. Although he is honest, diligent and simple-minded, he does not rule the country by fighting. What he needs is management ability and wisdom of employing people, and frequency knows nothing about these. One day, Emperor Liu Heng of Han Dynasty had a whim and wanted to know something about this country. He asked Zhou Bo, the right prime minister, "How many cases are tried in China every year?" Frequency shook his head after hearing this, and calmly replied that he didn't know. Wendi asked again, "How much money does the country earn every year and how much money does it need to spend?" Frequency is still in a daze, and he is sweating all over. Sweat soaked his underwear, and he couldn't answer Wendy's question. Helpless, Emperor Wendi had to turn and ask Chen Ping, the left prime minister, but Chen Ping replied: "Ting Wei is in charge of hearing this case; Q: Finance has an internal history. Just ask them. " Wendi was very satisfied with Chen Ping's answer, and Zhou Bo was ashamed, so he resigned as the right prime minister. However, after Chen Ping's death, he became addicted to the prime minister as soon as he took office. Someone once advised him not to be a prime minister, saying that he was not the material, but he thought he had made great military achievements and didn't want to be ruined.

Later, someone framed and denounced Zhou Bo's rebellion, so Wendi was relieved of his post as prime minister, and he was forced to return to Jiangxian, a fief. But these people still don't give up, and put him in jail on charges of Luo Zhi. In prison, Zhou Bo still refused to put down his airs, and as a result, he was tortured to death by the prison guards, which was extremely painful. Under Wendy's interrogation, he was released from prison and died of depression shortly after his release.

After Zhou Bo's death, his son Zhou Yafu inherited his father's title and soon became a military general. He fought bravely and managed the army well. When Wendi joined the army, Zhou Yafu dared to greet the emperor with military discipline, which was greatly appreciated by Wendi. He attacked the Huns in the north and defended the border, with outstanding achievements. On his deathbed, Emperor Wen of Han told the State of Qi to attach great importance to Zhou Yafu. Immediately after Liu Qi proclaimed himself emperor, he appointed Zhou Yafu as the general of a title of generals in ancient times, who held the important power of Team X. Zhou Yafu lived up to his great trust. In BC 154, with his superb military skills, he decisively put down the Seven-Country Rebellion launched by the King of Wu and Liu Bi and maintained the stability of the Western Han Dynasty. In BC 152, Han Jing also appreciated Zhou Yafu's help and appointed him as the Prime Minister. Like his father, Zhou Yafu didn't know how to refuse and took office happily.

At first, Jingdi valued and respected Zhou Yafu very much. Because Zhou Yafu was too honest and frank to talk about strategy, he was gradually alienated by Jingdi. Liang Wang and Dou Taihou, who had been offended by his neglect, retaliated against him, saying that he was going to rebel because his son bought an "armor shield", and Jingdi was also very angry, so he handed Zhou Yafu over to Tingwei for trial. Ting Wei also perverted the law and satirized him: if there is no rebellion on the ground, I am afraid there will be rebellion underground. Zhou Yafu was humiliated beyond endurance. He wanted to kill himself. After his suicide was stopped, he began to hunger strike. Five days later, he vomited blood and died.

I have to admit, Zhou Bo and his son have extremely high military talents, run the army well, are simple and honest, and are loyal to the Han Dynasty, but their fate is so tragic and embarrassing. Their tragedy seems to be caused by politics, but the reason is that they overestimate themselves. In military operations, they are superior in ability and can achieve amazing results, but they are amateurs in dealing with political affairs and interacting with people. They lack self-knowledge and cannot do what they can, which leads to a sad end, hurting their families and themselves. In work and life, we must abandon the greed in our hearts, correctly measure our ability and level, and do a good job of ourselves in a down-to-earth manner, and never be blinded by greed. This is a useful warning from the experience of Zhou Bo and his son.

A short story with philosophy (15) 14 Three people went out empty-handed with umbrellas and crutches. When I came back, the umbrella bearer was soaked, the crutch bearer fell, and the third one was fine. It turned out that when the rain came, people who walked boldly with umbrellas got wet; Walking on the dirt road, walking recklessly with crutches, often falling down; There's nothing. Avoid walking when it rains heavily. When the road is bad, walk carefully, but nothing happens.

Revelation: Many times, we are not defeated by defects, but by advantages.

A short story with philosophy (15) 15 A prince had a famous chef. His specialty is roast duck, which is very popular among palace ladies, especially the prince. However, the prince never gave any encouragement to the chef, which made him unhappy all day.

One day, a guest from Wang Ye came from afar, hosted a banquet at home to entertain distinguished guests, and ordered several dishes, one of which was Wang Ye's favorite roast duck. The cook was ordered to do as he was told. However, when Wang Ye gave the guest a duck leg, he couldn't find the other leg. He asked the chef behind him, "Where's the other leg?"

The cook said, "Your Majesty, all our ducks have only one leg!" " "Your report is very unexpected, but because there are guests present, it is not convenient to ask.

After dinner, Wang Ye followed the chef to the duck cage to find out. It's night and the ducks are sleeping. Each duck only shows one leg.

The cook pointed to the duck and said, "Look, my Lord, don't all ducks in our family have only one leg?"

After hearing this, Wang Ye clapped his hands loudly and woke the ducks. The ducks were awakened on the spot and stood up.

The prince said, "Don't all ducks have two legs?"

The chef said, "Yes! Yes! However, only clap your hands will you have two legs! "

The only effective way to keep people at their best is to praise and reward them. Nothing can stifle people's enthusiasm more than being criticized by superiors.

Incentive rewards are very important when subordinates are depressed. As managers, we should often praise those who have achieved good results in public places, or give some gifts to those who have performed particularly well to encourage them to continue their struggle. You can get several times the performance with a small investment, so why not?
