When Lincoln was a shop assistant, he ran a long way to give back the extra money to his guests.
The story of Washington and the cherry tree
When I was a child, Bill Gates was very active and often couldn't calm down. His favorite thing is to sit on the wooden horse and swing around. Interestingly, even now that he has grown up, he sometimes shakes involuntarily! This became his unique trick.
& ltbr & gt Newton showed his greatness when he was three years old. When ordinary children like to run around and play with friends, he prefers to hide in the house alone, holding hammers and nails, banging on boards and making favorite small handicrafts.
Cherish the virtue of money (Li Ka-shing)
Li Ka-shing once came out of the hotel to get on the bus, dropped a coin on the ground, and the coin rolled to the sewer, so he bent down to catch it. An Indian security guard saw it and immediately came to help him pick it up and handed it to him. Li Ka-shing put the coin in his pocket, then took out 100 Hong Kong dollars from his wallet and gave it to the security guard as a reward.
It is not worthwhile to spend one yuan 100. When someone asked Li Ka-shing about it, he explained, "If I don't pick up the coin, it will disappear in this world. I will give the security guard 100 yuan and he can spend it. I think money can be used, but it cannot be wasted. "
Cherishing wealth is a quality, a cultivation and a moral character. I remember when I was a child, my parents taught us to cherish clothes and money. So saving is a virtue, which is probably the same reason.
Second, the story of Zhou Enlai's childhood.
After the rooster crowed three times, there was a sound of reading in Zhou Jia Garden: "At noon on the day of weeding, sweat dripped down the soil. Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard. " After reading and reading, Zhou Enlai learned the poem by heart quickly, but he always felt that he didn't fully understand the artistic conception of the poem: How hard is each grain?
The next day, I came to Jiang's mother's house to play. While eating, he looked at the glistening rice and eagerly asked, "Mom Jiang, how did this rice come from?"
Jiang's mother likes her curiosity very much, so she smiled and told him, "Rice is made of rice. The rice is wrapped in a hard yellow shell. It has to go through soaking seeds to accelerate germination, raising seedlings in the field, transplanting and weeding, fertilization management, pest control, harvesting and threshing until it is smashed into rice. "
"Ah, it's not easy to eat this bowl of rice!" Zhou Enlai said in surprise.
"Yes, I don't know how many farmers will be tired after more than ten passes. This delicious rice was watered by farmers with sweat. " Mother Jiang said with deep feelings.
Jiang's mother's inculcation not only deepened his understanding of poetry, but also encouraged him to study hard. In order to learn Chinese characters well, he not only carefully completed the homework assigned by the teacher, but also insisted on practicing 100 Chinese characters every day.
One day, I went to visit my relatives with my mother Chen, and it was already late at night when I came back. The journey was dusty and exhausted. Young Ryan was exhausted, yawning and fighting with his eyelids, but he still kept practicing calligraphy 100 before taking a rest. When mother Chen saw this, she was distressed. She advised, "Write tomorrow!"
"No, Mom, what happened that day was the same day!" Convinced his mother, Chen, to express her position quickly.
He buried his head in a pot of cold water and immediately drove away the sleepy, and his mind was much clearer.
Just after finishing writing 100 words, mother Chen grabbed Enci's pen and said, "Come on, go to sleep!" " "
"no!" Carefully read the Chinese character 100 in the wet ink, frowning seriously, and said, "Mom Chen, look, these two characters are crooked."
Say, Zhou Enlai's white little hand waved a pen again, and wrote those two words three times again until he was satisfied.
The story of Jie Jin, a bachelor of Ming Dynasty.
Jie Jin is good at satirizing powerful people.
Jie Jin, a bachelor of Hanlin in Ming Dynasty, was a famous poet. He has been smart and studious since childhood. At the age of seven, he was good at poetry and prose, and his nature was straightforward.
On one occasion, retired Li Shangshu did not believe that Jie Jin had this talent. He invited several dignitaries to write poems, and sent someone to call Jie Jin to deal with this matter, hoping to ridicule him in public.
Jie Jin came to Li Fu and saw the door closed. The family said that the master ordered him to enter through the small door, but he stood at the gate and refused to enter through the small door. When Li Shangshu heard the news, he came up and said loudly, "This boy is too narrow-minded and has no talent"; Jie Jin immediately replied: "Dapeng spreads his wings and hates the sky." Shangshu was surprised: alas, this boy was so angry that he ordered someone to open the middle door to meet him.
Just sitting on the table, a powerful person wanted to use the topic to laugh at his mother making tofu at home. His father picked up the story of poor life peddled in the street and said to him, "I heard that talented people can export in pairs." How about taking your parents' jobs as the topic today? When Jie Jin heard this, he knew that he was laughing at himself, and he recited unhurriedly: "Every household chooses a day and a month to sell in the street; Gan Kun grinds his hands day and night. " They were all surprised when they heard this. The powerful man fidgeted like a fishbone.
Another dignitary saw Jie Jin wearing a green coat, so he also sent a pair of couplets to mock him: "The frog in the well wears a green coat"; Seeing the man in the red coat, Jie Jin had a brainwave and said, "The crab in the pot is wearing a red robe." . Hearing this, the monk thought to himself, This boy is very powerful. I compared him to a live frog, but he compared me to a dead crab. But it is unreasonable to vent, so we have to admit that we are unlucky.
After three rounds of wine, Shangshu wanted to subdue Jie Jin, pointing to the sky and proudly saying, "Heaven is a chessboard star. Who dares to fight?" After hearing this, Jie Jin gave the ground a meal with his foot and said, "The ground is a harp, which one can play!" The tone is higher than his. Shangshu can't help it, and he is ridiculous.
At this time, Jie Jin raised his glass and said, "Today, it is rare to gather talents and talents, and I specially offer couplets to add fun." . Hearing this, the ministers sent for Four Treasures of the Study, and Jie Jin laughed. Everyone came to have a look and froze for a long time. It turns out that this is a metaphor: "The reeds on the wall are top-heavy and shallow; The bamboo shoots in the mountains are thick and empty. "
Jie Jin skillfully to Cao Shangshu.
There was a bachelor named Jie Jin in the Ming Dynasty. He was a famous genius. It is said that he can recite poems at the age of six or seven, and people call him a "prodigy". His home is opposite Cao Shangshu's bamboo garden, so he posted a couplet on the door:
Bambusa door to door
Jia Zang thousands of books
Cao Shangshu was very unhappy and thought, How can I let him borrow my bamboo garden scenery? So he ordered people to cut down a bamboo. Jie Jin saw it and added a sentence below the couplet:
The door is as short as a thousand bamboo poles.
Jia Cang Qian Shu Chang
Cao Shangshu was even more angry and immediately ordered people to cut all the bamboo. After Jie Jin saw it, he added a sentence below the couplet:
This door is short of bamboo.
This family owns thousands of books.
This time, Cao Shangshu was very surprised and sent for Jie Jin. When he reached the Cao family, he saw the gate closed and shouted, "The gate won't open. This is not a reason to welcome guests. " Cao Shangshu said in the door, "I'll go out first. If you can get the second one, I'll open the door to see you. " Then, read:
The dog is ignorant and the road is narrow.
Jie Jin right way:
Dapeng spreads his wings and hates the sky.
Cao Shangshu read another couplet:
Heaven makes chessboard stars, who dares to play?
Jie Jin immediately took the bottom allied:
When the earth is a pipa road and a string, which one can play?
Cao Shangshu listened to Jie Jin's quick response and even called him a "wizard", and immediately opened the front door to meet him. When Jie Jin entered the room, Cao Shangshu asked, "What do your parents do?" Jie Jin remembered that his father sold water every day, and the shadows of the sun and the moon were reflected in the bucket in the morning and evening. My mother spinning and weaving, hurry-scurry, just answer:
Strict father shoulders the sun and the moon.
Mother's hand turned to Gankun.
Hearing this, Cao Shangshu had to admire Jie Jin's wizards.
