A short story about love in 20 words

(1) Another kind of hell

After a man died, on his way to see the King of Hell, he passed by a magnificent palace. The owner of the palace asked him to stay and live there. The man said: "I have been working hard all my life in this world. Now I just want to eat and sleep. I hate working."

The owner of the palace replied: "If this is the case, then the world There is no place in the world that is more suitable for you to live than here. I have delicacies from the mountains and seas. You can eat whatever you want, and no one will stop you. I have a comfortable bed, and you can sleep as long as you want. No one will bother you; and I promise you won’t have to do anything.”

So the man stayed.

For a period of time in the beginning, this person ate and slept, slept and ate, and felt very happy. Gradually, he felt a little lonely and empty, so he went to see the owner of the palace and complained: "This kind of life of eating and sleeping every day has no meaning at all after a long time. I am full of fat now, right? This kind of life is no longer interesting. Can you find a job? "

The owner of the palace replied: "I'm sorry, we have never had a job here. "

A few months later, the man couldn't stand it anymore and went to see the palace owner again: "I really can't stand this kind of life! If you don't give me a job, I would rather go to hell than go to hell again." Live here. "

The owner of the palace smiled contemptuously: "Do you think this is heaven? This is hell!"

The comfortable life turns out to be a kind of hell. ! Although there is no mountain of knives to climb up, no sea of ??fire to descend from, and no pan of oil to climb into, it can gradually destroy your ideals, corrode your soul, and even turn you into a walking zombie.

Being idle is also a kind of unbearable pain, but taking care of everything is sometimes a kind of fulfilling happiness; born in sorrow and dying in happiness is probably the common destiny of human beings. Look at those rich people who have so much money that they can’t spend it all and they are still working hard. Why? For your own vitality.

(2) Home, what is it?

In Los Angeles, the United States, a drunk man was lying on the street. The police helped him up and it turned out that he was a local rich man. When the police said they would take him home, the rich man said: "Home? I don't have a home."

The police pointed to the villa not far away and asked: "What is that?"

"That's my house!" said the rich man.

In our world, many people think of home as a house or a yard. However, once you or your loved ones move away from there, once the warmth and affection are lost, will you still consider it home? For celebrities, it is their former residence; for ordinary people, they can only say that they once lived there, but it is no longer their home.

Home, what is it? A true story that happened in Rwanda in 1983 may be a fitting annotation for the family. During the Rwandan Civil War, there was a man named Gérard (37 years old). His family consisted of 40 people: his father, brothers, sisters, wives and children were almost all separated and killed. Finally, the desperate Gérard found out that the 5-year-old His little daughter was still alive, so he risked his life to find his own flesh and blood. He was filled with joy and sorrow, and held his daughter tightly in his arms. His first words were: "I have a family again!"

In this world, home is a place full of family affection. Sometimes it is in a hut with a bamboo fence; sometimes it is in a high-rise building; sometimes it is also among the homeless. Those who have no family ties and those who have been forgotten by love are the ones who truly have no home. Home is family and affection, not a big house where you live.

(3) Horse and Deer

A horse found a lush meadow and often came here to have a feast.

But later, a deer also discovered the secret and came to eat some grass while the horse was away.

The horse found out about this and felt that the deer had usurped his own interests. He wanted to take revenge on the deer, but he was powerless, so he asked for help.

The man said: "I have no choice. Unless you put a cap on your head and I ride on you, I can catch up with it and punish it!"

The horse agreed. So the man rode on his horse and punished the deer. After that, he tied the horse to the head of the trough.

At this time, Ma came to his senses and sighed:

"I am so stupid to try to take revenge for a trivial matter, but I have turned myself into a slave."

< p> It is not advisable to show off one's passion and retaliate, and to resort to any means to retaliate will eventually cost oneself a heavy price.

(4) Sheep and Fox

A sheep was suspected of eating two chickens and was tried in the court of the Kingdom of Beasts. The judge was a smart and capable fox.

The sheep defended himself: "I slept from morning to night that day, and friends who know me well can attest that I am a vegetarian and have never liked to eat meat in my life."

Then Judge Fox and his colleagues deliberated and finally pronounced the verdict: "We believe that the sheep's defense is not valid, because concealing criminal evidence has always been a common tactic of the most evil people, and sheep and chickens live so close to each other. The chicken is so delicious, so based on my conscience, the sheep will definitely not let the chicken go. "The sheep was sentenced to death and executed immediately.

The mutton was confiscated by the court and the sheepskin was sold on the market.

Bacon said: One unfair referee has more consequences than ten crimes. Because crime ignores the law - like polluting the water stream; and unfair trial destroys the law - like polluting the water source.

(5) The secret of the birth of a millionaire

Psychologists once conducted such a study:

They found 20 hairy people College graduates decided to do the work they like; we also found 20 people with the same education and age who decided to join popular industries first, make money, and then do what they like.

Twenty years later, in the two control groups, it was found that 8 of the 20 people who did the work they liked became millionaires; while in the latter group, only one became a millionaire.

No matter what kind of profession you are engaged in, the first step to success is to be interested in this profession!!!

(6) Rats and dogs

A group of mice climbed onto the table to steal meat, but they disturbed the dog sleeping beside the table.

The mouse discussed with the dog and said:

"If you don't say anything, we can get some meat for you and we can enjoy the delicious food."

The dog sternly rejected the mice's proposal:

"Get out of here. If the owner finds that there is less meat, he will definitely suspect that I ate it secretly. By then, I will become the meat on the chopping board. ”

Many people who rob themselves are not as smart as this dog. For example, if state-owned assets are lost, can the person in charge be freed? But there are many people who just don't understand this, and they are greedy for the money they have in front of them, and eventually they are punished.

(7) The value of 20 US dollars

A father came home from get off work very late, tired and annoyed, and found his 5-year-old son standing at the door waiting for him.

"Dad, can I ask you a question?"

"What question?"

"Dad, how much money can you make in an hour?"

"This has nothing to do with you, why are you asking this question?" Dad asked angrily.

"I just want to know, please tell me, how much money do you make per hour?" "The kid begged.

"If you must know, I make $20 an hour," "Oh! The child lowered his head and then said: "Dad, can you lend me $10?" "

The father was angry: "If you just want to borrow money to buy toys, then go back to your room and go to bed and think about why you are so selfish. I work hard for a long time every day. Time to play childish games with you. "

The child quietly went back to his room and closed the door.

The father sat down and was still angry. After a while, he calmed down and thought that he might be too cruel to the child. Maybe the child really wants to buy something, and besides, he rarely asks for money.

The father walked into the child's room: "Are you asleep?" child. "

"Dad, not yet, I'm still awake. "The child replied.

"I may have been too cruel to you just now. "My father said, "I shouldn't lose my temper. This is the $10 you want." "

"Dad, thank you! "The child shouted happily and took out some crumpled banknotes from under the pillow and counted them slowly.

"Why do you still need money when you already have money? "My father asked angrily.

"Because it was not enough before, but I am enough now. "The child said: "Dad, I have 20 dollars now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please go home early tomorrow. I want to have dinner with you. "

Time can be exchanged for money, and it can also be exchanged for family affection and happiness. Give your family some time, because some things cannot be bought with money!

(8 ) who can run faster?

Two people were playing in the woods.

While the two people were enjoying the natural scenery, a big black bear ran towards them.

The two people suddenly panicked.

But one of them quickly calmed down and quickly put on his running shoes.

Another person saw him busy and asked in confusion:

"What's the point of changing your shoes? Can you still outrun a bear?"

The man who changed his running shoes said: "I don't want to outrun the bear, I just want to outrun you." Before he finished speaking, he ran out!

In the brutal competition for survival, it is crucial to know who your real competitors are. Sometimes what you do may not be better than your "enemy", but at least you are better than your colleagues!

(9) Greedy Monkeys

There is a kind of monkey in Changbeir in the Algiers region that likes to steal farmers' rice. Based on the characteristics of these monkeys, local farmers invented an ingenious method of catching monkeys:

The farmers fixed a gourd-shaped bottle with a narrow neck, tied it to a big tree, and then placed it in the bottle. Add the monkey's favorite rice and wait for the good news.

At night, the monkey came to the tree and was very happy to see the rice in the bottle, so he put his paws into the bottle to grab the rice. The wonderful thing about this bottle is that the monkey's paw can just put it in, but when it grabs a handful of rice, it can't pull it out. The greedy monkey would never put down the rice it had received. Just like this, its claws could not be taken out, so it had to stick to the bottle. The next morning, when the farmer caught it, it was still reluctant to let go of its paws until it put the rice into its mouth.

Humans evolved from monkeys and are certainly smarter than monkeys. But if the rice is replaced by money, beauty, and power, the people who will be fooled will probably be people instead of monkeys.

(10) Taking photos

I have a friend in the photography industry who has been taking group photos of conferences for some years and has great experience.

The most difficult thing about taking group photos is everyone’s eyesight problem: dozens of people, or even hundreds of people, when the photo is taken, there will be some with their eyes open and some with their eyes closed. Naturally, I am not happy when I see Yu Zhao with my eyes closed: I keep my eyes open more than 90% of the time, why do you make me look listless? Isn’t this distorting my image? "

The average photographer shouts: "One, two, three! "But after persisting for a long time, I happened to be unable to hold on at the time of "three". I searched my upper eyelids and lowered my eyelids, and closed my eyes again.

This friend's idea was: "He invited everyone to All the participants closed their eyes and listened to his command. He also shouted: "One, two, three". Please open your eyes at the "three" time. Sure enough, when the photos were developed, no one had their eyes closed. They were all in high spirits and more energetic than usual. Everyone was really happy.

There are many problems in life. In fact, as long as you change your thinking, you can solve them easily.
