A modern story of keeping promises

In the early years, few foreigners set foot in the southern foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal.

Later, many Japanese people came here for sightseeing, which is said to be because of the honesty of a teenager.

One day, several Japanese photographers invited a local teenager to buy beer, and the teenager ran for more than three hours.

The next day, the boy offered to buy them beer.

The photographers gave him a lot of money this time, but the boy didn't come back until the afternoon of the third day.

As a result, photographers talked about it and thought that the boy cheated the money away.

On the third night, the boy knocked on the photographer's door.

It turned out that he only bought four bottles of beer. Later, he climbed a mountain, crossed a river and bought six more bottles. When he came back, he broke three bottles.

He took the broken glass in tears and returned the change to the photographer. All the people present were moved.

This story deeply touched many foreigners.

Later, more and more tourists came here.

2. The story of the auto repair shop

A customer walked into an auto repair shop and claimed to be the driver of the transportation company.

"Write more parts on my bill. After I go back to the company for reimbursement, you will have benefits. " He said to the shopkeeper.

But the owner refused such a request.

The customer pestered and said, "My business is not small. I will come here often. You can definitely make a lot of money! " "The shopkeeper told him that this could never be done.

The customer shouted angrily, "Anyone can do this. I think you are too stupid. " The shopkeeper was so angry that he asked the customer to leave at once and talk about the business elsewhere.

At this time, the customer smiled and shook the owner's hand admiringly: "I am the boss of that transportation company. I've been looking for a fixed and reliable repair shop. Where else can you let me talk about this business? "

In the face of temptation, I don't feel heartbroken and confused about it. Although it is as plain as a cloud and as simple as running water, it makes people appreciate a kind of high mountain and deep sea.

This is a shining character-honesty.

3. Morgan Consortium started with honesty.

1835 established an American fire insurance company named Ittner.

It does not require shareholders to pay cash immediately, but only needs to sign the roster to become shareholders.

At that time, a man named Morgan was very poor and worried about how to get benefits without conditions.

This small insurance company just met his needs, so he signed up as a shareholder.

Unfortunately, not long after, a customer insured by Ittner Fire Insurance Company caught fire unexpectedly, and the disaster was very serious.

If the company pays the customer's compensation in full according to the regulations, it means bankruptcy.

As soon as the news came out, the shareholders were pessimistic and disappointed, demanding the return of their shares.

In the face of difficulties, Morgan did not waver.

He put his reputation first, tried his best to raise money, sold his house and bought all the shareholders' shares at a low price, so that the insured customers could finally get full compensation.

Although Morgan became the boss of Ittner Fire Insurance Company, he was empty-handed and penniless, and the company was in danger of bankruptcy.

In order to save the company, he had to bite the bullet and advertise that if customers go to Ittner Fire Insurance Company for insurance again, they will get double premium.

Unexpectedly, customers who came to insure were in an endless stream.

Morgan consortium is one of the few giant companies in the world, and it is known as the master of Wall Street financial empire. At the beginning of the Morgan family's business, when they were in trouble and struggling, they started from scratch with integrity.

Soong Ching Ling kept her promise.

One Sunday, Soong Ching Ling's family had breakfast and were going to visit a friend's house.

Xiao Qingling jumped with joy after hearing the news.

She likes to go to this uncle's house best. My uncle keeps pigeons with sharp mouths, red noses and small black eyes. They are very beautiful! Uncle also said he would give her one.

Xiao Qingling is very happy at the thought of this. She hurried to her room, found out her most beautiful clothes to put on, and prepared to go to my uncle's house with her father Song Yaoru.

She just followed her parents out of the door, when it suddenly occurred to her that Xiaozhen was coming to learn how to fold the flower basket with her this morning, so she stopped unconsciously.

Xiao Zhen and Xiao Qingling are about the same age, so they get along better.

Seeing Xiao Qingling standing there motionless, his father asked, "Qingling, why are you behind?" Don't you want to see pigeons? " Xiao Qingling told the story.

Father said, "Never mind, you can go to Xiaozhen to tutor her tomorrow."

She said awkwardly, "No, we have an appointment and we can't make it.

My sister said, "Xiaozhen won't blame you. Just see Xiaozhen tomorrow and explain. "

But Xiao Qingling still stood there motionless: "Dad said that men should keep their promises.

I can apologize if I forget to see her tomorrow; But now that I think about it, I have to wait for her at home, or I will break my promise. "

Song Yao, like his daughter, was very happy, so he said to the other children, "Qingling did the right thing. You should all learn from her and be a trustworthy child. "

Father went to a friend's house and told him about it. The uncle also asked his father to bring back two pigeons for Qingling as a reward for her.

5. Unknown tombstone

In the riverside park in new york, there stands a monument to the soldiers killed in the Civil War. Behind General Grant's grave, there is a child's grave.

A few years later, family fortune fell and the old owner had to transfer the land.

Out of love for his son, he made a strange request to the future landowner. He asked the new owner to take the child's mausoleum as a part of the land and never destroy it.

The new owner agreed and wrote this condition into the contract.

In this way, the child's mausoleum was preserved.

Times have changed, and a hundred years have passed.

According to one sales contract after another, it was completely preserved.

1897, this land of geomantic omen was chosen as the cemetery of General Grant.

* * * became the owner of this land, and the tomb of the unknown son was preserved intact in the hands of * * * and became the neighbor of Grant General Cemetery.

The grave adjacent to the grave of a great historical creator and the grave of an unknown child may be a unique miracle in the world.

Mayor Giuliani personally wrote this touching story and carved it on the wooden sign, standing next to the tomb of the unknown child, so that this story about honesty can be passed down from generation to generation. ...
