C. Andersen's inspirational story is very short

Andersen's father was a shoemaker when he was very young. He died, leaving him and his mother to live a poor life.

One day, he and a group of children were invited to the palace to meet the prince and asked for a reward. He sang hopefully and recited the script, hoping that his performance would be appreciated by the prince.

After the performance, the prince asked him kindly, "What can I do for you?"

Andersen said confidently, "I want to write a play and perform it at the Royal Theatre."

The prince looked at the clumsy boy, with a clown's big nose and a pair of melancholy eyes from head to toe, and said to him, "it is one thing to recite the script, but it is another to write it." I advise you to learn a useful craft! "

However, Andersen, who had a dream, did not go home to learn the craft of life, but broke his piggy bank, bid farewell to his mother and went to Copenhagen to pursue his dream. He wandered around Copenhagen, knocking on the doors of all Copenhagen nobles, and no one paid attention to him. He never thought of retreating. He has been writing epics and love novels, which failed to attract people's attention. Although Joe is sad, he still insists on writing.

1825, Andersen wrote several fairy tales at random, which unexpectedly caused children to scramble to read them. Many readers are eager for the publication of his new book. This year, he was 30 years old.

Until the cold days, many fairy tales written by Andersen, such as The King's New Clothes and The Ugly Duckling, accompanied many children in the world to grow up healthily.

People as smart as you, no matter how hard the environment is, don't bow to it, just stick to it. Although the sand is barren and dry, the green cactus still straightens its body and allows itself to blossom colorful flowers.

Story 1: Choose

A farmer saved his wife from the flood, but his child was drowned. Afterwards, people talked about it. Some say he did the right thing, because a child can have another child, but his wife can't come back from the dead; Some people say that he did something wrong, because his wife can marry someone else, but the child can't come back from the dead. After listening to people's comments, I feel very confused: if I can only save one person, should I save my wife or my children?

So I visited the farmer and asked him what he thought at that time. He replied, "I didn't think of anything. My wife passed me when the flood hit. I grabbed her and swam to the nearby hillside. When I came back, the child had been washed away by the flood. "

On the way home, I pondered the words of the peasants and said to myself: There are many so-called life choices.

Story 2: the heart of a lover

This is a true story that happened in England. A lonely old man, childless and sickly, decided to move to a nursing home. The old man announced the sale of his beautiful house. Buyers flocked to hear the news. The base price of the house was 80,000 pounds, but people quickly bid it to 654.38+10,000 pounds. Prices are still rising. The old man is deeply immersed in * * * and full of melancholy. Yes, if it weren't for his poor health, he wouldn't sell the house that has accompanied him for most of his life.

A young man in plain clothes came to the old man, bent down and whispered, "Sir, I want to buy this house, but I only have 65,438+00,000 pounds. However, if you sell the house to me, I guarantee that you will still live here, have tea, read newspapers and walk with me, and be happy every day-believe me, I will take care of you wholeheartedly! The old man nodded and smiled and sold the house to him for 1 0,000.

You don't have to kill and cheat in cold blood to realize your dreams. Sometimes, as long as you have a loving heart.

Story 3: Doctor

A doctor was assigned to a research institute and became the person with the highest academic qualifications.

One day, he went fishing in the small pond behind his unit. It happened that the director and deputy director were around him and were fishing. He just nodded slightly. What are these two undergraduates talking about? After a while, the director put down the fishing rod, stretched himself and walked briskly across the water to go to the toilet. The doctor's eyes are falling: floating on the water? Really? This is a pond. When the director came back from the toilet, he also floated back from the water. What's going on here? Doctoral students are not easy to ask, they are doctoral students!

After a while, the deputy director also stood up, took a few steps and floated across the water to go to the toilet. Now the doctor almost fainted: no way, go to a place where Jianghu experts are concentrated?

Doctoral students are also very anxious. There are walls on both sides of this pond. It takes more than ten minutes to go to the toilet opposite, and it's too far to go back to work. What should I do? Doctoral students don't want to ask the two directors. After holding back for a long time, they got up and stepped into the water: I don't believe undergraduates can pass, but my doctoral students can't. The doctor fell into the water with a bang.

Two directors pulled him out and asked him why he had to go into the water. He asked, "Why did you walk there?" The two directors smiled at each other: "There are two rows of stakes in this pond. Because it rained these two days, the water just rose below the surface. We all know the location of the stake, so we can step on it. Why don't you ask?

Education represents the past, and only learning ability can represent the future. People who respect experience can take fewer detours. A good team should be a learning team.

Story 4: Giving

An old carpenter is preparing to retire. He told his boss that he would leave the construction industry and go home to enjoy family happiness with his wife and children. The boss didn't want to let his good worker go and asked him if he could help build another house. The old carpenter agreed. But everyone can see later that his heart is no longer working. He uses soft materials and does rough work. After the house was built, the boss gave him the key to the gate. "This is your house," he said. "My gift to you." . He was dumbfounded with shock and ashamed. If he knew he was building a house for himself, how could he do it? Now he has to live in a humble house!

So do we. We casually "build" our own life, not actively, but passively, refusing to strive for perfection in everything and failing to do our best at critical moments. When we realized our situation, we were already trapped in the "house" we built. Imagine you as a carpenter. Think about your house. Every day you knock a nail, add a board, or erect a wall. Use your wisdom to build well! Your life is the only creation in your life, which cannot be erased and rebuilt. Even if there is only one day to live, that day should be beautiful and noble. The nameplate on the wall says "Life is your own creation".

Story 5: Windows

There is a wife who has been complaining about her laziness for years. "That woman's clothes can never be washed. Look, the clothes she hangs outside in the yard are always dirty. I really don't know how she can wash clothes like this. "

It was not until one day that a discerning friend came to her house that she discovered that it was not the wife across the street who couldn't wash her clothes properly. A careful friend took a rag and wiped the gray stain on the lady's window and said, "Look, isn't this clean?" ?

It turns out that my window is dirty.

Story 6: Remind yourself.

An old lady sat on the side of the road and looked at a high wall not far away. She always felt that she would collapse soon. Seeing someone coming towards the wall, she kindly reminded: "That wall is going to collapse, so go away quickly." When the reminded person swaggered across the wall, she looked puzzled-the wall didn't fall down.

The old lady was very angry. "Why don't you listen to me?" Someone came again, and the old lady gave advice. Three days passed, and many people walked by the wall without danger. On the fourth day, the old lady felt a little strange and disappointed. She couldn't help walking to the wall and observing it carefully. At this time, however, the wall collapsed, and the old lady was buried in dust and masonry and died.

It is often easy and sober to remind others, but it is difficult to remind yourself soberly at all times. So many dangers come from themselves, and the old lady's sorrow is born from this.

Story 7: Apples by the River

An old monk, surrounded by a group of devout disciples. On this day, he told his disciples to go to Nanshan to get a load of firewood. The disciples hurried to the river on the hillside, and everyone was dumbfounded. I saw the flood rushing down from the mountain, and I couldn't cross the river to collect firewood in any case. Without success, the disciples were a little depressed. There is only one young monk and master who are calm and stand opposite each other. When the master asked him why, the young monk took an apple out of his arms and handed it to the master, saying that he could not cross the river to collect firewood. When he saw an apple tree by the river, I picked the only apple on it. Later, the young monk became a descendant of the master.

There are endless roads and rivers in the world. It is also a kind of wisdom to turn around if you can't cross the river. But true wisdom must do one thing by the river: fly the kite of thought and pick an "apple". Throughout ancient and modern times, people who hold such a belief in life have finally achieved a breakthrough and transcendence in life.

Story 8: Simple Facts

Once upon a time, two hungry people were blessed by an elder: a fishing rod and a basket of huge fresh fish. One of them asked for a basket of fish and the other asked for a fishing rod, so they parted ways. The person who got the fish built a bonfire with dry wood and cooked the fish on the spot. He wolfed down the fish and didn't taste the meat of the fresh fish. In a flash, he ate all the fish and soup. Soon, he starved to death by the empty fish basket. The other man continued to starve with a fishing rod, and walked hard to the seaside step by step, but when he saw the blue ocean not far away, his last strength was exhausted and he could only die with endless regrets.

Two hungry people also got a fishing rod and a basket of fish from their elders. It's just that they didn't part ways, but agreed to look for the sea together. They only cook one fish at a time. After a long journey, they came to the seaside. From then on, they began to make a living by fishing. A few years later, they built a house, had their own family, children and a fishing boat made by themselves, and lived a happy and healthy life.

A person who only cares about immediate interests will eventually get short-term happiness; One should aim high, but face the real life. Only by organically combining ideal with reality can we become a successful person. Sometimes, a simple truth is enough to give people meaningful life enlightenment.
