One day, Zhang Guaiya was patrolling the yamen, and suddenly he saw a county magistrate who was in charge of money coming out of the money in a panic. Zhang Guaiya quickly stopped the shopkeeper and asked his entourage to search the shopkeeper. As a result, a copper coin was found in the treasurer's scarf.
Zhang Guaiya took the treasurer back to the lobby for interrogation and asked him how much money he had stolen. The treasurer refused to admit stealing the money, so Zhang Guaiya ordered torture. The shopkeeper refused to accept it and shouted angrily, "What's the big deal about stealing a copper coin? You torture me like this? You can only hit me. Can you still kill me? " Zhang Guaiya was furious when he saw that the shopkeeper dared to contradict himself so much. Without hesitation, he picked up the brush and sentenced him: "One dollar a day, one thousand dollars a day, a rope sawed off, a drop of water wears away the stone." It means stealing a copper coin a day and stealing a thousand copper coins a thousand days. If you keep sawing wood with a rope as a saw, the wood will be sawed off; Water drops keep dripping, which can drip through the stone for a long time.
After the verdict was pronounced, Zhang Guaiya asked the chief to take the treasurer to the execution ground and behead him. Since then, the unhealthy trend of theft in Chongyang County has been curbed and the social atmosphere has greatly improved.
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Fan Li helped Gou Jian, the King of Yue, realize his hegemony, then gave up his property and went into business, and finally became a successful entrepreneur. Wen Zi, his close comrade-in-arms, refused to give up, which eventually led to his death.
2. Don't indulge in pillows
Sima Guang, an ancient China writer, used a log as a pillow to wake himself up and continue writing, and named it "Police Pillow". Mayakovski, a famous Russian poet, often used a large piece of firewood as a pillow to prevent himself from sleeping too long. Inventor Edison often stays up late to work. He was really sleepy, so he put the books on the table as pillows.
Dig the wall and steal the light, read by moonlight.
Kuang Heng, a scholar in the Western Han Dynasty, was poor and studious. There was no light at night, so he dug a hole in the wall to read by his neighbor's candlelight. Jiang Bi was born in a poor family in Nanqi. She makes shoes during the day and finds time to study at night. When he can't light the lamp, he takes the book to the roof and reads by moonlight.
Don't despise reciting.
Reciting is an important learning method. China has always had the theory of "a man of insight, a man of insight". Liang Qichao explained the 7000-word "Public Security Policy" to the students, and recited it without reading. In order to recite an article, Mr. Lu Xun not only read aloud, but also copied it by hand to deepen his impression.
Life is only three days.
When students on the island of Hawaii in the United States attend classes, they always recite a prayer first: a person's life is only three days: yesterday, today and tomorrow. Yesterday has passed and will never come back. I was with you today, but it passed quickly. Tomorrow will come and die. Come on, life is only three days.
5. Song of Tomorrow and Song of Today
In the Ming Dynasty, Qian Fu wrote a Song of Tomorrow, which read: Tomorrow follows tomorrow, and there are several tomorrows! Waiting for tomorrow, everything will be wasted. The world is tired of tomorrow, and tomorrow will be infinitely experienced. In the morning, the water flows east, and now it grows in the west. What will tomorrow be like in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow.
In the Ming Dynasty, Wen Jia wrote another Song of Today, which read: Today is today, and today is so rare! If you don't do it today, when will it happen? Today is a hundred years, and today is not a pity. If we wait until the Ming dynasty, there will be something in the Ming dynasty. Say "Today's Poetry" for you, and try to start today.
Achievement is bought with time.
