The difference between "10" and "9"
10 years later, the university classmates reunite.

The students who listened to the lectures in each class back then are very different now: some have become division chiefs or bureau chiefs, some have become doctors, professors, writers, or company bosses, and some have been laid off and transferred to private small bosses. Part-time jobs, and some lose money and owe debts.Some people are not convinced, lamenting that the world is too unfair.So, a few people went to ask the teacher of the year.

The teacher just smiled, and then asked a question: What is 10 minus 9?
Seeing the stunned students, the teacher asked, can you play bowling?The rule of bowling is that there are 10 balls in each game, and each ball scores from 0 to 10.The difference between 10 points and 9 points is not just 1 point.Because if you hit the full score, you need to add the score of the next ball. If the next ball is also 10 points, the addition becomes 20 points. What is the difference between 20 and 9?If every ball is played with full marks, a round is 300 points.Of course, 300 is too difficult, but it is common for masters to play 270 and 280.If you miss every ball, you will get 9 points, and you can only score 90 points at most in one round.What is the difference between 270, 280 and 90?

The teacher continued to play: When you graduated, the gap was 10 points and 9 points.However, after this, some people continue to work very hard without letting go. After 10 years, what achievements will he have to achieve!If you still do ninety-eighths, or even four-fifths, how far will you have to fall in 10 years?

Several students suddenly realized that they were ashamed.

Solve questions while studying
Everyone knows the great Franklin, but no one would think that he didn't like studying when he was a child.Sometimes he picks up the book and wants to read it, but as soon as a friend outside asks him to play or something happens on the street, he will throw the book away and run out to read it quickly.

Although his family's economic conditions are not very good, the parents still bought a lot of interesting books for their children and put them in a conspicuous place.

One day, little Franklin ran in and said to his mother, "Mom, can you tell me what happened to the Egyptian pyramids? One of my friends is testing me."

His mother explained to him: "This Egyptian pyramid is actually the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh, but its appearance is very strange..."

His mother told him all kinds of knowledge about the pyramid carefully.

Little Franklin was fascinated by this, and thought to himself: "Wow, there are such interesting things in the world! Why didn't I know that before?"

He said to his mother: "Mom, you are so amazing, how do you know everything? I hope to become as smart as you in the future, with so much profound knowledge."

"Son, mom doesn't know everything. Mom also reads all these things from books. In fact, the knowledge in books is very rich, and many of them are very interesting. As long as you read and discover, you can become a kind and happy person." Mother knows as much, even more than mother.”

"Really? Mom." Little Franklin was even more puzzled.

"Of course, my mother has never been to Egypt, so she didn't know about it at all. Books gave me knowledge, son, just now you said that you want to be like me, so you have to read a lot from now on. Take the essence of it, make it your own, and you will be better than your mother." His mother continued to guide him.

"Okay, Mom, I got it. I must study hard in the future and learn all this knowledge into my mind." Little Franklin replied happily.

From then on, little Franklin became interested in books, and he often used them to read them, learning the contents with relish.

His mother was relieved to see this, but little Franklin was still a little lacking in self-control and was sometimes distracted by other things.

So his mother often said to him when he was reading: "Son, you are reading now and don't worry about other things. You can play with your friends after you finish reading, okay?"

"Okay, Mom. I like to read." Little Franklin responded loudly.

Then the mother will put his toys in another room, and at the same time close the windows of the room, trying not to let other things affect the child's study.

In this way, little by little Franklin was able to control himself well.He will no longer be affected by the outside world, so he has the later glory.

Lobster and Hermit Crab
The lobster and the hermit crab are both residents of the sea. One day, they met in the sea. It was the time when the lobster was moulting. The hermit crab saw the lobster take off its hard shell, revealing its tender meat.The hermit crab was very surprised, and couldn't even understand: "Lobster, why did you take off the shell? This is a life-saving tool! Aren't you afraid that the big fish will eat you in one bite? And, and, even if there are no big fish , your tender body, if a torrent rushes you to the rocks, you may even turn into shrimp paste!"

The lobster laughed and replied: "You! It's really unfounded. Let me tell you, the growth law of our lobster is a bit similar to that of snakes. They need to shed their skins, and we need to change their shells. Every time we grow up, we must take off the old shells. We can grow a new shell, a stronger shell, and we will have more capital in the face of danger in the future! To survive in this ocean, it will be difficult to survive without improving our skills!"

What the lobster said made the hermit crab think carefully about how different he is from the lobster!All I wanted was to find a place where I could settle down, but never thought about how to make myself grow stronger. If one day I couldn't find a shell to live in, I'm afraid that what awaited me would only be death.The current self is living under the protection of others. Although this kind of life is comfortable, it will not last long.If you don't develop yourself, you will sooner or later become someone else's food in this ocean, and you can't live like this anymore. You should think about how to improve your own strength in the future, and be like a lobster!

Many people think this way: the things they have learned will not disappear, as long as they keep them, they will not worry about not being able to eat.But in a progressive society, if you don't study for three days, you will be left behind and devalued.There is an old saying that "humility makes people progress". Modesty is a kind of politeness, a kind of etiquette mentality, and humility is an empty cup mentality, which is to return to zero to learn.
