1: the will of the rich
Robert is a millionaire and a famous computer expert, while his son Jack is a playboy. Robert unfortunately got an incurable disease and left his son Jack a will before he died:
"The wealth I left is locked in the safe, and the password to open the safe is stored in the computer. When you unlock the computer program, it's time to inherit my wealth. If you try to dismantle the safe, the wealth in the safe will automatically turn to ashes. "
Jack is very sad about his father's death, but he is glad that his father left all his wealth to himself. After Jack cremated his father, he invited Morade, one of his most trusted assistants, hoping that he could help him unlock the computer program code. But Morade said, "Your father is a computer genius. I can't solve the password. "
Jack guessed that he wanted to use the reward as an excuse, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, my father left tens of millions of wealth. As long as I unlock the code, I can take out 10% of the wealth as your reward. " Morade thought about it and promised to give it a try.
On the same day, Morade began to work. Jack has dinner with him every day, and the table is full of wine and delicacies. But after half a month, there was no progress. Morade sighed and said to Jack, "Your father's design is too abstruse for me to work out the code."
Jack frowned, then thought about it and encouraged him to say, "I think this password can be opened as long as I insist." We can only move forward, not backward. If God wants people to stand back, he will make people have eyes in the back of their heads. We must always move towards hope and victory, dear, aren't you right? "
Morade nodded and continued to deal with this problem. After another half month, he still found nothing. He had to say to Jack, "Sir, I have tried my best. It seems that you have to ask someone else! "
After Morade left, Jack was at his wit's end and had to indulge in bars and dance halls. As the days passed, the money in his pocket became less and less, and he began to feel the crisis of survival. One day, while he was drinking glass after glass, a friend said, "Your father left you a lot of wealth. What are you worried about? "
He said to his friend, "If you can't unlock the code, even if you have a fortune, you can still find the moon in the water and see flowers in the mirror!" "
My friend mysteriously leaned into his ear and said, "I can introduce you to a very clever computer hacker, but you must take out 20% of the wealth in the safe as a reward."
Jack thinks it is better to give up 20% than to get this wealth, so he agrees to ask a hacker to crack the password.
Jack's friends helped him get a clever hacker, signed a contract and began to tackle key problems. However, the hacker spent a month racking his brains and failed to open the password. Finally, the hacker left without saying goodbye. Before leaving, Jack looked at it and said, "It seems that only God can get your father's property!" " "
Jack read the note, slapped the table angrily and said, "My father has a head and two eyes, too. He is not a god, but a man. I must unlock the password he set himself! " "
From then on, Jack began with the basic knowledge of computer and chewed down one profound computer book after another. Then he went to several famous universities and consulted a famous doctor of computer science. After five years of research, he began to crack the code.
After two years' research, Jack walked like an expedition through the primeval forest that covered the sun, through the barren desert, across the raging river and climbed up the Rocky Mountains ... but he didn't find the "baby" he dreamed of.
It seems that he is going to be disappointed. After several days of hard searching, he finally found a painting left by his father on the computer screen. A closer look shows towering mountains, rugged rocks and towering cliffs, while the top of the mountain is flowing clouds and beautiful flowers and plants, which is simply a fairyland. Jack knows what his father wants to tell him: infinite scenery is on a dangerous peak, climb it hard!
Jack was inspired by the painting scene and gave birth to courage and confidence. He forgot to eat and sleep day and night, and after a year of hard work, he finally cracked his father's password. He used this password to open the safe, but there was nothing in the safe except a piece of paper.
The note reads: Congratulations on inheriting the wealth of my life. Money is just a number. In the era of knowledge economy, it cannot represent a person's life wealth, only knowledge is. The money I earned was quietly donated to people in need in my lifetime, leaving you with the spirit of continuous learning, not afraid of setbacks and continuous development, which is an inexhaustible wealth in life.
Jack finally understood his father's kindness. Later, like his father, he became an all-round talent in the Internet age with his profound knowledge and never-say-die spirit.
2. Serious courier boy
He is a courier boy, in his early 20 s, ugly and wearing thick glasses. At first glance, I knew that he had just started this business and even wore a suit and tie, and his shoes were polished. When he speaks, his face will be slightly red and a little shy. Unlike his peers, he wears casual flat shoes, which is convenient for running upstairs and downstairs. Everyone has a glib tongue ...
Almost every day, there are courier boys knocking at the door. Some of them come to pick up and deliver courier items, but most of them come to deliver business cards and promote business. There are many express delivery companies now, which is really convenient. They are indispensable business and personal affairs. So we will leave the business cards they gave us, put them in the drawer, and take any one when we use them. No matter what happens, make a phone call and a boy wearing sneakers and carrying a big bag will come soon. ...
It was his first visit and he sent a business card. I only said a few words about which company I was from, and then put down my business card with both hands and left. Leather shoes make a crisp sound when they step on the floor of the corridor. A colleague said that this silly boy is not afraid of being tired even if he wears leather shoes to send express mail.
See him again in a few days. The colleague who received the business card has a letter to send. Maybe Ding Junhui's business card was on the top, so I called him. The phone call passed, and he came over in more than ten minutes. Still wearing leather shoes, still a little nervous.
After filling out the form, he said a few thanks carefully, filled the change and handed it carefully with both hands, as if he had completed a solemn handover ceremony.
Because of his thick glasses, suit and tie, taciturn and cautious, I subconsciously remembered him. After delivering something to my family every few days, I asked my colleague for his phone number.
He came quickly, carefully put things away and took them away. Every few days, I send express several times.
Because he has just been doing it for a long time, he is really much more serious. He wants to confirm the identity of the signer, open it after receiving it, and see if there is anything wrong in it before leaving. Therefore, it takes him more time to send and receive express mail than others. Judging from this, he won't make much money. I feel that this industry is really not something that a silly boy like him can do well.
In a blink of an eye, it was May Day. At noon the day before the holiday, I heard clear footsteps in the corridor and then someone knocked at the door. It's him, Ding Junhui. He changed into a light suit and his shoes were still bright. Holding a bag of red oranges in his hand, he blushed as soon as he entered the door without speaking.
Is that you? Colleagues said. Is there any express delivery for us? He shook his head and put the orange on the coffee table. He looked embarrassed and said, I made my first business here. I'll send you some fruit. Thank you for taking care of my work. I wish you a happy Labor Day.
This is the longest sentence he said in my memory, as if he had rehearsed it in advance, and it was very smooth.
We're all a little embarrassed. For such a long time, no one with a working relationship has come to give us a gift. As for him, he is just a self-made courier boy, that is, he didn't mean to let him work several jobs, so it's really far from who takes care of who. He insisted on leaving the orange, quickly said goodbye and turned out of the door.
It should be fruit from a street stall. Oranges are not big and taste a little sour. But none of us said a word of criticism. For a long time, some people said that this boy is quite human.
Maybe it's because of his oranges, his humanity, and the express mail and articles that the whole office will call him. I also recommended him to other departments.
Ding Junhui obviously runs to us frequently, sometimes four times a day.
We are familiar with such frequent contact. Ding Junhui also wears shirts in very hot weather, mostly white, with neatly buttoned necklines. Always wear leather shoes, never casually. Once, a colleague joked with him that you always wear such rules, not like a courier at all, but like an insurance seller.
He said very seriously, selling insurance is so serious, why can't the courier? At the beginning of the training, the leader said that when I went to see my clients, I must dress neatly, which is the minimum respect for each other and our profession.
Colleagues continue to tease him. Did you listen so carefully to what the leader said?
Of course, listen to the leader carefully. He didn't mind that his colleagues were teasing him at all, but he explained it seriously.
We laughed again. He is probably the most obedient employee in this industry, right? He does such a simple job much harder than others, but what can he get in the end after such hard work? He seems to be doing more and more confidently, but our attitude is not optimistic. I don't think it's easy for a stupid person like him to develop.
Sure enough, Ding Junhui's express career is two years.
In two years, he changed a pair of glasses, and his clothes and words and deeds remained basically the same. His work attitude is still very serious, and he has never heard any complaints.
I called him to get something that day. My college classmates teach in a technical secondary school. She got married 1 1 month 1 day, and I have a gift for her. After filling out the form, Ding Junhui suddenly said during the inspection, Ah, it's my school. His voice was so loud that I was startled. He added, I also graduated there.
This time I understood, and I couldn't help looking up at him with some surprise. Do you go to school there?
Maybe that address made him a little excited. He said in a series, Yes, yes, I studied accounting and just graduated in 2004.
Oh, my god This ugly courier boy turned out to be a secondary school student in a regular school.
I can't help asking him, why don't you find another job because you have academic qualifications and professional expertise?
Faced with such an inquiry, he was a little embarrassed to say that at that time, he didn't think it was so difficult to find a job suitable for his major. It took months to find it. It was too difficult. My family is in the countryside and quite poor. It's good for me to finish my studies at home, so I can't ask them for money any more. It happened that the courier company wanted express delivery, so I went. It's good to do something. ...
Didn't you waste all the knowledge you learned at the beginning? I still feel sorry for him.
I won't. Express delivery also needs good co-ordination to improve efficiency, such as classifying customers according to different regions and different business types, what customers with many businesses usually send, where to send them, and how to send them privately ... Usually, when you see a customer's phone, you will know what he is equipped with, what to send, and how big a box he needs to bring ... He giggled, how can knowledge be learned in vain?
I really treat him differently. I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. His words really have profound truth.
In a blink of an eye, it was May Day again. Things always come and go before holidays. I called Ding Junhui to get something that day. He answered the phone, but another younger boy came. Said, I'm from the courier company, and Director Ding asked me to pick up something.
I paused for a moment, and then I understood. Say, Ding Junhui is in charge?
Yes, the boy said that he would go to Nanning as a branch manager at the end of the year. It's all published.
Boys are obviously different from Ding Junhui. Some of them are familiar with each other and talk a lot. Without waiting for us to ask, they said several reasons for promotion announced at the last company meeting: he is the only courier who has worked in the company for the longest time, the only courier with a degree, the only courier who insists on wearing a suit, the only courier who has established a customer file, and the only courier who has not received customer complaints. ...
The boy talked for a long time before he took away what I wanted to send. I felt really happy that day because of Ding Junhui.
In the afternoon, Ding Junhui's courier company sent the same city express and a box of imported oranges. Although there was no card or message, we all knew it was from him. After unpacking, each person divided a few pieces and put them on the table.
Oranges are big, colorful and sweet. Through these beautiful oranges, I saw those little oranges. Are they the flowers of those little oranges?
I finally believe that seriousness is powerful, and that power is enough to make a small green orange blossom.
It is not enough to do your best.
In a famous church in Seattle, USA, there was a respected priest-Dale Taylor. One day, he told the following story to a class in a church school:
One winter, the hunter went hunting with his hounds. The hunter shot a rabbit in the hind leg, and the injured rabbit ran away desperately, followed by hounds. But after chasing for a while, the rabbit ran farther and farther. The hounds knew that they couldn't catch up, so they had to go back to the hunter angrily. The hunter said angrily, "You are so useless that you can't even catch an injured rabbit!" " "
The hound was unconvinced and argued, "I have tried my best!" " "
After the rabbit escaped home with a gunshot wound, the brothers gathered around and asked him in surprise, "That hunting dog is so fierce." You're hurt again. How did you get rid of it? "
The rabbit said, "It's trying, and I'm trying!" " ! It didn't catch up with me and was scolded at most. If I don't run hard, I will die! "
After telling this story, Pastor Taylor made a solemn promise to the whole class: If anyone can recite all the contents of Chapters 5 to 7 of Matthew, he will invite someone to a free dinner at the Space Needle Restaurant in Seattle.
There are tens of thousands of words in Chapters 5 to 7 of Matthew, and they don't rhyme, so it is undoubtedly quite difficult to recite the whole text. Although it is the dream of many students to attend a free dinner, almost everyone has tried it and flinched.
A few days later, a 1 1 year-old boy in the class stood confidently in front of pastor Taylor and recited it from beginning to end as required. He didn't miss a word, and in the end, it became a lively reading.
Pastor Taylor knows better than others that even among adult believers, few people can recite these pages, let alone a child. While admiring the boy's amazing memory, Pastor Taylor couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why can you recite such a long text?"
The boy replied without thinking, "I tried my best."
16 years later, that boy became the boss of a world-famous software company. He is Bill Gates.
The story told by pastor Taylor and Bill Gates' successful recitation are very enlightening: everyone has great potential. As psychologists have pointed out, the average person's potential is only about 2% ~ 8%, and great scientists like Einstein have only developed about 12%. If a person develops 50% of his potential, he can recite 400 textbooks, complete courses in more than a dozen universities and master more than 20 different languages. In other words, we still have 90% potential in sleep. If anyone wants to create a miracle, it is not enough to do his best, he must do his best.
