Thank the person who tortured you, it is he who has achieved your height

Journey to the West tells us that there must be a calm leader, a deputy who can defeat the enemy, honest employees and lazy employees, and more importantly, there must be no enemies.With enemies, all these existences are justified.For this, we owe thanks to our enemies, to those who tormented you.

Be grateful to the person who tortured you, because he tempered your mentality and enhanced your knowledge.How can there be motivation without torture, and it is those tortures that drive the wheels of our lives to keep rolling forward.

A little bird flew south for the winter.It was so cold that the bird was almost frozen.So, I flew to a large open field, where a cow passed by, and pulled a pile of cow dung on the bird's body. The frozen bird lay on the dung pile, feeling very warm, and gradually woke up, it was warm and comfortable. Lying on the ground, soon began to sing, a passing wild cat heard the sound, went to see what happened, followed the sound, the wild cat quickly found the bird lying in the dung pile, pulled it out and ate it .

Not everyone who pulls shit on you is your enemy.Not everyone who pulls you out of the dung heap is your friend either.People who torture you don't necessarily mean to hurt you.

At the fork in life, if you choose a flat road, you may have a comfortable and enjoyable youth, but you may lose a good opportunity to experience.

There was a fisherman who had first-class fishing skills and was honored as the "Fisher King".Relying on the money earned from fishing, the Fisherman amassed a large fortune.However, the old Fisherman was not happy at all, because his three sons' fishing skills were very mediocre.

So he often confides his distress to others: "I really don't understand, my fishing skills are so good, why are my sons so poor? I have taught them fishing skills since they were sensible, from the most basic I taught them how to weave a net to catch fish the most, how to row a boat without disturbing the fish, and how to lower the net to invite fish into the urn. When they grow up, I teach them how to know the tide and fish season... …I have taught them all the experience I have worked hard for many years, but their fishing skills can't catch up with the sons of other fishermen who are less skilled than me!"

After hearing his story, a passer-by asked, "Have you been teaching them hand in hand?"

"Yes, in order for them to learn top-notch fishing techniques, I taught them very carefully and patiently."

"Have they been following you?"

"Yes, in order to avoid detours for them, I have always asked them to learn from me."

A passer-by said: "In this way, your mistake is very obvious. You just taught them skills, but did not teach them lessons. For talents, no lessons are the same as no experience. Neither can make people great. .”

Without learned experience, there is no mature technology.It can be seen from this that those setbacks and rebellious tortures are not only negative to life, but also a positive factor that promotes your growth.Only by experiencing all kinds of torture can the thickness of life be expanded.So, be grateful to those who torment you, it is they who make your wings become more powerful in each struggle, better able to face the wind and rain, and thus lead to success.

Jin Lansheng in the Qing Dynasty wrote in "Proverbs Lianbi": "After some setbacks, you will gain some knowledge; tolerate some rebelliousness, and increase your tolerance." Flowers that have not experienced wind, frost, rain and snow cannot bear fruitful flowers. fruit.Only through torture can we experience maturity and beauty.Everyone who has the courage to pursue happiness, everyone who has a little vision and thought, will thank those who tortured themselves and those who tortured you. It is these tortures that have created your tenacity and success.

Thanks to those who torment you, the world will be more beautiful and moving in our eyes.

Knowing kindness is the most beautiful compensation in life

Emerson said: One of the most beautiful compensations in life is that when people sincerely help others, they also help themselves.A person who is kind and dedicated to doing things may temporarily suffer some losses and encounter some tribulations, and may also be called a fool, but the victory belongs to them in the end.

William is an ordinary American who has traveled all over the world for his wife's strange disease, but he has never been able to find a cure.Four years ago, he heard that Chinese medicine was specialized in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases, so he brought his wife to China to see a doctor.When he came to China, William had to hire an interpreter because of the language barrier.At that time, it was summer vacation, and William hired Xu Min, a poor student at Beijing Foreign Studies University, through his connections.

Because William had no money, he kept the cost of hiring Xu Min very low. Xu Min, who was in poverty, had no choice but to accept the job for his mother.William traveled around Beijing with his sick wife, working hard every day.Xu Min not only has to translate for them, but also registers for them to get medicines, run in line, and do all trivial things.After a few days, Xu Min realized that this American had no money.

Xu Min had just translated for William and his wife for a few days, when a classmate brought a foreigner to him in a hurry.A Canadian company came to Beijing to discuss business. Due to the increasing number of negotiation projects, it urgently needed to find two translators.

William knew the gist of the matter through the conversation between the Canadian and Xu Min. He only hoped that Xu Min could find him a Chinese interpreter as soon as possible before he left, even if he could only have a simple conversation.Xu Min looked up at William and then at his sick wife. In the end, Xu Min rejected the requests of his classmates and Canadians. He said that he was already familiar with William’s wife’s condition. In the communication, it will be detrimental to William's wife's illness.

After the summer vacation, Xu Min returned to school, and William and his wife left China.The following year, William's wife passed away, and William returned to tending his nearly bankrupt business.

Three years later, Xu Min graduated from university and was running around looking for a job.Xu Min and his classmates who had nowhere to go were in a state of panic all day long, with blank eyes.Just then, a letter came from America, from Mr. William.He said that Xu Min's kindness and kindness deeply moved him, and he never forgot it in the past three years.Now his company will soon set up a factory in China and needs a Chinese agent. He asked Xu Min if he would like to cooperate with him, and the salary is [-] US dollars per month.

The story can stop here, but the grateful heart will not stop here.Xu Min did something kind to others, and God brought him great gospel.

As long as we have a grateful heart, we can discover the beauty of life and the beauty of the world, and we can live happily in the sunshine of true love forever!A person who does not know how to be grateful, even if he has a lot of money, is still a poor person; but who knows how to repay kindness is the richest person in the world.People who are grateful are proactive, optimistic, enterprising, dedicated and fun in their lives, and their future prospects are limitless.Gratitude is not a simple repayment of gratitude, but an attitude towards life and a belief in life.In life, there are many people worthy of our gratitude, and there are also many things worthy of our gratitude.Even the gifts of life itself or the beauties of the natural world deserve our gratitude.Life will bestow its greatest rewards if we are grateful.

A person without a conscience is a person who will never be satisfied, and also a person who does not know how to cherish what he has now. It is their habit to blame others. Such a person is swallowed by resentment all day long, making himself miserable.For individuals, gratitude is a deep feeling that enhances personal charisma.

Gratitude is a philosophy of life, gratitude is a kind of wisdom in life, and gratitude is the fulcrum of learning to be a human being and achieving a sunny life.

Gratitude is not a simple repayment of gratitude, but a spiritual realm of pursuing a sunny life!

Gratitude is the source of happiness and success

Many people's lives are unhappy, largely because of his lack of gratitude.When he gets the gift of life, he is not grateful, but takes everything for granted, so he gradually loses the intimacy and support of others, and loses the opportunity to get close to good things.

In a small town, the famine puts all poor families in crisis, because for them, the basic problem of food and clothing is difficult to solve.

The richest person in the town is Karl the Baker.In order to help people survive the famine, he called the 20 poorest children in the town and said to them: "Each of you can take a piece of bread from the basket. Come every day at this time from now on, and I will Provide you with bread until you pass the famine in peace."

Those hungry children scrambled to grab the bread in the basket, and some even fought to get a bigger piece of bread.When they got it, they immediately wolfed down the bread.

The baker noticed a little girl named Gracie, every time she went to the basket to get the last piece of bread after others had finished grabbing it, she always remembered to kiss the baker's hand and thank him for providing her food, and take it home.

The baker thought: "She must have gone home to share that little piece of bread with her own family, what a sensible child!" Half the size of yesterday's loaf, but she's still happy.After kissing the baker's hand, she went home with the bread.

When they got home, when her mother broke the loaf, a gleaming gold coin fell out of it.Mother was stunned and said to Grech, "The baker must have dropped it by accident. Send it back quickly."

The little girl came to the baker's house with the gold coin and said to him: "Sir, I think you must have dropped the gold coin into the bread by accident. Fortunately, it didn't get lost, but it was in my bread. Now I brought it back to you."

The baker smiled and said, "No, boy, I put this piece of gold in the smallest loaf on purpose. I didn't mean to give it to you. I hope the most gentle child will get this piece of gold. It was you who chose it, and now this gold coin belongs to you, and it is a reward for you. I hope you will always be able to live a contented and elegant life like this, and face everything with gratitude. Go back and tell Your mother, this coin is a reward for a good and gentle girl."

The little girl's gratitude touched the baker and brought her a tangible reward.Gratitude is the source of happiness and success.One should persevere in this feeling.No matter what kind of life you get, you have to be grateful.When a person is grateful for his life from the bottom of his heart, he must be happy and charming.

Stephen Greeter put it this way: "I will soon leave this world, and any good I can do, or any kindness I can show to mankind, let me do it now and without delay, for I shall not have another life We should be grateful for all the good things in life and nature, and keep their virtues and benefits deep in our hearts, so that we ourselves can be infected by good things from time to time. In this way, our lives will also be will be wonderful.Gratitude is the root of love.If we can be grateful for everything we have in life, we can realize the joy and value of life.

If you have a grateful heart, you will be grateful for everything you encounter, and you will say "thank you" from the bottom of your heart: when you wake up in the morning, you see the sunshine outside the window, you will say "Thank you"; eat a piece of bread and say "thank you"; get a call from a friend and say "thank you"; see a bird singing in a tree and say "thank you".Your day and even your whole life will be spent in this grateful mood, and others will be willing to help you.In the limited life, go to thank the people and things you want to thank!Be grateful, your eyes will find the beauty in life, and your life will be richer.
