(Respect the fruits of labor)
Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong, accidentally dropped a dollar into the car when he got off the bus, and then bent down to pick it up. A waiter next to him saw it and went forward to help him pick up a dollar. After Li Ka-shing put away one yuan, he gave the waiter 200 yuan a reward.
Actually contains values other than money. Although Li Ka-shing is rich, he lives frugally and never wastes money. He knows that billions of assets are earned by one yuan. Money has been abstracted as a kind of labor in his eyes, and labor has become his most important way of life. All his wealth is accumulated by working more than 20 hours a day. 200 yuan's remuneration is actually a respect and reward for labor, which cannot be measured by money.
Franklin borrowed books to settle his grievances.
(Respect others and win friends)
When President Franklin was young, he once invested all his savings in a small printing factory, but the result was disastrous. He really wants to get a job printing documents for parliament, but there is a disadvantage. There was a very rich and capable congressman, but he hated Franklin very much and even publicly scolded him. This situation is very unfavorable to Franklin. Therefore, Franklin decided to make the other person like himself.
Franklin racked his brains for this. Borrow a few dollars from his enemy? It's no use. What he asked for should be something that makes the other party very happy-this request should just touch the vanity of the other party, make him feel respected, and skillfully show Franklin's admiration for the other party's knowledge and achievements.
So he asked the congressman, "I heard that there is a very strange and special book hidden in your library." I am eager to see it. Please lend me that book for a few days so that I can read it carefully. "
Sure enough, the man sent the book at once. About a week later, Franklin returned the book to him with a letter strongly expressing his gratitude.
Therefore, the next time they meet in parliament, the members greet him first and are extremely polite. From then on, he was always ready to help Franklin, so they became good friends until his death.

2 dignity
dignity
Dignity is the basic principle and the bottom line of being a man. Throughout the ages, there are many touching stories about dignity. How to treat dignity?
In the face of right and wrong, there are many martyrs who regard dignity as life. They would rather die than surrender, leaving many beautiful stories in the long river of history. During the Western Han Dynasty, Su Wu went to the Western Regions and was trapped in the desert for several decades. However, he remained loyal to the emperor and remained unmoved by threats and inducements. In the face of persuasion, Wen Tianxiang wrote, "Since ancient times, no one has died in life, leaving a glowing heart." Facing the enemy's hay cutter, Liu Hulan held his head high and stood upright, and was praised as "the greatness of life and the glory of death". In their view, a country, a nation, faith is dignity, which is placed above its own interests and cannot be violated.
In ordinary daily life, some people can stand out, highlight their backbones, embody their personal dignity and write touching chapters. Sun is a famous young man in China. When the boss of South Korea flew into a rage and ordered the workers in the factory to kneel down, he was the only one holding his noble head high, preferring to lose his job without losing his dignity. In his eyes, a person without dignity is like a walking corpse, which has lost the meaning of life.
However, some people give up their dignity in the face of fame and fortune. People like Cheng and Cheng, for their own selfish interests, betray their personality and dignity, and completely forget their basic principles and bottom line. People like Li Zhen, who give up their dignity, flatter themselves, and evade official positions, do everything they can. And during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, hundreds of thousands of puppet troops appeared in China. These are obscene people who have no personality. In their eyes, fame and fortune are above everything else.
However, in some trivial matters, we should also be flexible in dealing with issues involving face, be patient, and sometimes compromise for greater ideals, so that we can achieve success.
If Han Xinlian couldn't stand the humiliation of his legs, how could there be a Vietnamese army waiting for the world to become famous? If Sima Qian can't stand the humiliation of castration, how can he write Historical Records? This is the swan song of historians, and there are some young people now. If they don't agree, they will fight and hurt others. This is not to maintain dignity, but to care about unnecessary face. We should take this as a warning.
China has a vast territory and respects dignity, which is what people want. We should also vigorously advocate maintaining noble dignity on issues of right and wrong. In this way, the morality of our society will change in a good direction. If we persist, our nation and our country will be lucky.
Dignity is a Mountain, Dignity is Water —— Thoughts on Reading Dignity Won't Give Up
Yu Xiangle, Class 6, Hua Luogeng Experimental School, Jintan City, Jiangsu Province.
"The car is driving, carrying a car full of people who give in and the only woman who doesn't give in." After reading this article, this sentence was deeply imprinted in my mind.
The main idea of the article is this: a bus bound for the provincial capital stopped at a place in the middle of the village without looking at the shops behind it. The conductor and the driver announced in a tough tone that the transportation fee would be increased 10 yuan. Other passengers took out their money one after another. Only when they received the young woman sitting at the back, she looked out of the window as if she didn't see what was happening in the car. The angry conductor waved to the young woman who refused to pay. The young woman was slapped in the face, but she stubbornly turned to face the conductor. In a flash, everyone in the car was stunned by the young woman's "stubbornness".
Fierce and strong conductor, luxurious and beautiful young woman. She is certainly not without this area 10 yuan, nor is she unwilling to pay this 10 yuan. What she refuses to sell is the dignity that those "timid" people in the car are selling bit by bit anytime and anywhere. ...
3 Height (model essay)
The scenery should be long and open-minded.
Shuttle through the clouds like an eagle, bow your head, there are sparrows and quails; Looking up, there is a blue sky that has never been reached. In life, if you have a lofty goal, you can have a high level of life.
Facing the clear autumn water and the scholar-officials behind him, Zhuangzi finally chose "tailing in the painting". He would rather "harvest food in March" and turn it into a tree watching the moon, a swan waiting to take off, and pursue the height of his life and his lofty ideals. Facing life and death, Lin Daiyu chose death. Her high destination is a lingering love. Van Gogh's height was cut by the sun in the light, as well as Beethoven's inspiration to reach the blue sky and the magnificent movement composed by black and white keys. ...
Life can only be called life if it has a certain height. I am eager to be an educated person in Geng Jie. Maybe this is my height.
How many people in the world can really live? They are either short-sighted or mediocre, repeating the same mistakes and completely losing themselves.
After Liu Sanbian was released from prison, there was no Li Bai. "Going out laughing, are we Artemisia people?" He has no handsome appearance and should stand out. Instead of pursuing new heights in life, he became an alcoholic and so on. Besides, how many people can surpass the common desire of the world today? Such as Xu Benyu into the mountains? He only sees "under himself", turns a blind eye to those above himself and turns a deaf ear to the call of "above himself".
Life, without height, how can we enjoy the laurel of life? Without a high-level life, it is simply a blasphemy against life and entrepreneurs. There is no high life, just a heavy life shell, like Sisyphus, walking slowly in the blind mountain. There is only haze in their eyes, and there is no ray of sunshine hidden behind the haze.
As long as you understand the essential meaning of this sentence, what is the difference between life and death? Wen Tianxiang's death and Sanmao's thorough understanding —— Isn't "death" the best way to live? After the height of life, Du Fu's cabin and Hawking's disability will become minimal because of the high success of life. With the great dream of life, Edison's experiments failed many times, and Marie Curie's youth was buried. What can we do? He already has a better and more modern new world in his heart.
I praise my distant blue sky, I praise my height, I praise the refined people with lofty goals!
4 vision
Only with a long-term vision can we achieve great things.
Short-sighted, can only get petty profits; Only with a long-term vision can we truly reap the fruits of success and create great achievements for future generations. Open the vast history, which contains countless successful people. Sima Qian was far-sighted and willing to go to jail, but he finished his masterpiece Historical Records and became a wonderful flower in the treasure house of Chinese culture. In the long run, Han Xin suffered "the humiliation of stepping down" and eventually became a general, competing for the Central Plains and leaving a name in history; Li Bai was far-sighted, gave up his dream of promotion, traveled around famous mountains and read mountains and rivers, and wrote many brilliant poems, which added luster to Chinese culture. People who made great achievements in ancient times were not only talented, but also far-sighted. If there is no long-term vision, perhaps Sima Qian will get lost in the long river of history; Maybe Han Xin will die without a name; Maybe Li Bai spent the rest of his life in officialdom. It can be seen that to become a big player, you must have a long-term vision.
