企业管理哲理故事最有价值的人

曾经有个小国的人到中国来，进贡了三个一模一样的金人，把皇帝高兴坏了。可是这小国的人不厚道，同时出一道题目：这三个金人哪个最有价值？皇帝想了许多办法，请来珠宝匠检查，称重量，看做工，都是一模一样的。

怎么办？使者还等着回去汇报呢。泱泱大国，不会连这个小事都不懂吧？最后，有一位退位的老大臣说他有办法。皇帝将使者请到大殿，老臣胸有成足地拿着三根稻草，插入第一个金人的耳朵里，这稻草从另一边耳朵出来了。第二个金人的稻草从嘴巴里直接掉出来，而第三个金人，稻草进去后掉进了肚子，什么响动也没有。老臣说：第三个金人最有价值！使者默默无语，答案正确。

这个故事告诉我们，最有价值的人，不一定是最能说的人。老天给我们两只耳朵一个嘴巴，本来就是让我们多听少说的。善于倾听，才是成熟的人最基本的素质。

生活的迷茫、职场的紧张有时候会压得你喘不过气来，为大家推荐英文哲理故事，有空可以看看喔！

第一篇：A Goodbye Kiss

推荐理由：

我们每个人都有过那样的时代，开始想要拒绝父母，想要成为自己，只是在那个年龄我们不曾意识到，无论怎样我们都是父母眼里永远的孩子，需要疼爱需要呵护。

一个不美满的结局，一个永不可能实现的心愿，一个父亲伟大的心，一个儿子深切的忏悔。

很感人，很动人，几乎让人流泪。

The Board Meeting had come to an end.Bob started to stand up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes.“How embarrassing.I am getting so clumsy in my old age.”

The Board Meeting had come to an end.Bob started to stand up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes.“How embarrassing.I am getting so clumsy in my old age.”

Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments.It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others.Someone said, “Come on, Frank.Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”

Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood.“I grew up in San Pedro.My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea.He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea.He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family.Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home.”

He looked at us and said, “I wish you could have met my Dad.He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch.When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean.He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls.His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow.No matter how much my Mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”

Frank‘s voice dropped a bit.“When the weather was bad he would drive me to school.He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business.That truck was older than he was.It would wheeze and rattle down the road.You could hear it coming for blocks.As he would drive toward the school,I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear.Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch a cloud of smoke.He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching.Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy.It was so embarrassing for me.Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”

He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss.When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile.He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.‘

He paused and then went on, ”I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss.When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile.He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.‘

It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face.It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face.I said, ‘Dad, I‘m too old for a goodbye kiss.I‘m too old for any kind of kiss.‘

I said, ‘Dad, I‘m too old for a goodbye kiss.I‘m too old for any kind of kiss.‘

My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up.I had never seen him cry.He turned and looked out the windshield.‘You‘re right,‘ he said.‘You are a big boy....a man.I won‘t kiss you anymore.‘“

My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up.I had never seen him cry.He turned and looked out the windshield.‘You‘re right,‘ he said.‘You are a big boy....a man.I won‘t kiss you anymore.‘”

Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke.“It wasn‘t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back.It was a day when most of the fleet stayed in, but not Dad.He had a big family to feed.They found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out.He must have gotten into a gale and was trying to save the nets and the floats.”

I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks.Frank spoke again.“Guys, you don‘t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek....to feel his rough old face....to smell the ocean on him....to feel his arm around my neck.I wish I had been a man then.If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”

第二篇：The Bridge Keeper

推荐理由：

类似的故事看过不少，可是仍然没有办法不揪心。眼睁睁地看着四岁的儿子消失在眼前，对于一个父亲来说，最痛苦的事莫过于此。可是谁能给他不牺牲的理由？

短小精悍，也很容易懂。

There was once a bridge which spanned a large river.During most of the day the bridge sat with its length running up and down the river paralleled with the banks, allowing ships to pass thru freely on both sides of the bridge.But at certain times each day, a train would come along and the bridge would be turned sideways across the river, allowing a train to cross it.A switchman sat in a small shack on one side of the river where he operated the controls to turn the bridge and lock it into place as the train crossed.One evening as the switchman was waiting for the last train of the day to come, he looked off into the distance thru the dimming twilight and caught sight of the trainlights.He stepped to the control and waited until the train was within a prescribed distance when he was to turn the bridge.He turned the bridge into position, but, to his horror, he found the locking control did not work.If the bridge was not securely in position it would wobble back and forth at the ends when the train came onto it, causing the train to jump the track and go crashing into the river.This would be a passenger train with many people aboard.He left the bridge turned across the river, and hurried across the bridge to the other side of the river where there was a lever switch he could hold to operate the lock manually.He would have to hold the lever back firmly as the train crossed.He could hear the rumble of the train now, and he took hold of the lever and leaned backward to apply his weight to it, locking the bridge.He kept applying the pressure to keep the mechanism locked.Many lives depended on this man‘s strength.Then, coming across the bridge from the direction of his control shack, he heard a sound that made his blood run cold.“Daddy, where are you?” His four-year-old son was crossing the bridge to look for him.His first impulse was to cry out to the child, “Run!Run!” But the train was too close;the tiny legs would never make it across the bridge in time.The man almost left his lever to run and snatch up his son and carry him to safety.But he realized that he could not get back to the lever.Either the people on the train or his little son must die.He took a moment to make his decision.The train sped safely and swiftly on its way, and no one aboard was even aware of the tiny broken body thrown mercilessly into the river by the onrushing train.Nor were they aware of the pitiful figure of the sobbing man, still clinging tightly to the locking lever long after the train had passed.They did not see him walking home more slowly than he had ever walked: to tell his wife how their son had brutally died.Now if you comprehend the emotions which went this man‘s heart, you can begin to understand the feelings of our Father in Heaven when He sacrificed His Son to bridge the gap between us and eternal life.Can there be any wonder that He caused the earth to tremble and the skies to darken when His Son died? How does He feel when we speed along thru life without giving a thought to what was done for us thru Jesus Christ?

第三篇：The House of 1000 Mirrors(Japanese folktale)

推荐理由：

生活就是一面镜子，你对它微笑，它也对你微笑；你对它哭泣，它也对你哭泣。

可能有些老套。但是这是英文版的。

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors.A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house.He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could.To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his.He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly.As he left the House, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place.I will come back and visit it often.” In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house.He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door.When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him.As he left, he thought to himself, “That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again.”

All the faces in the world are mirrors.What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

第四篇：Forgiveness

推荐理由：

这篇故事里，一个父亲，不仅原谅了杀害儿子的凶手，而且希望能收凶手为养子，让他做自己的继承人。

再不可思议的事情，也有它的理由。

如果连这都可以原谅，那么这世间再没有任何事让你记恨。

让更多人来感受一颗博大宽容的心吧。

A letter written to a man on death row by the Father of the man whom the man on death row had killed:

You are probably surprised that I, of all people, am writing a letter to you, but I ask you to read it in its entirety and consider its request seriously.As the Father of the man whom you took part in murdering, I have something very important to say to you.I forgive you.With all my heart, I forgive you.I realize it may be hard for you to believe, but I really do.At your trial, when you confessed to your part in the events that cost my Son his life and asked for my forgiveness, I immediately granted you that forgiving love from my heart.I can only hope you believe me and will accept my forgiveness.But this is not all I have to say to you.I want to make you an offer--I want you to become my adopted child.You see, my Son who died was my only child, and I now want to share my life with you and leave my riches to you.This may not make sense to you or anyone else, but I believe you are worth the offer.I have arranged matters so that if you will receive my offer of forgiveness, not only will you be pardoned for your crime, but you also will be set free from your imprisonment, and your sentence of death will be dismissed.At that point, you will become my adopted child and heir to all my riches.I realize this is a risky offer for me to make to you--you might be tempted to reject my offer completely--but I make it to you without reservation.Also, I realize it may seem foolish to make such an offer to one who cost my Son his life, but I now have a great love and an unchangeable forgiveness in my heart for you.Finally, you may be concerned that once you accept my offer you may do something to cause you to be denied your rights as an heir to my wealth.Nothing could be further from the truth.If I can forgive you for your part in my Son‘s death, I can forgive you for anything.I know you never will be perfect, but you do not have to be perfect to receive my offer.Besides, I believe that once you have accepted my offer and begin to experience the riches that will come to you from me, that your primary(though not always)response will be gratitude and loyalty.Some would call me foolish for my offer to you, but I wish for you to call me your Father.Sincerely,The Father of Jesus

第五篇：He Never Missed a Game

Bob Richards, the former pole-vault champion, shares a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart.Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had.But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere.At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship.Even though the son was always On the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering.He never missed a game.This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school.But his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn‘t want to.But the young man loved football and decided to hang in there He was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he‘d get to play when he became a senior.All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years.His faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him.When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a “walk-on.” Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did.The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always puts his heart and soul to every practice, and at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed.The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father.His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games.This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in a game.It was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram.The young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent.Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, “My father died this morning.Is it all right if I miss practice today?” The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son.And don‘t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.”

Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well.In the third quarter,when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear.As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon.“Coach, please let me play.I‘ve just got to play today,” said the young man.The coach pretended not to hear him.There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game.But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in.“All right,” he said.“You can go in.” Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes.This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right.The opposing team could not stop him.He ran, he passed, blocked, and tackled like a star.His team began to triumph.The score was soon tied.In the closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown.The fans broke loose.His teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders.Such cheering you never heard.Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone The coach came to him and said, “ Kid, I can‘t believe it.You were fantastic!Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?”

He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?” The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!”

Like the athlete‘s father, God is always there cheering for us.He‘s always reminding us to go on.He‘s even offering us His hand for He knows what is best, and is willing to give us what we need and not simply what we want.GOD has never missed a single game.What a joy to know that life is meaningful if lived for the Highest.Live for HIM for He‘s watching us in the game of life!

第六篇：The Most Beautiful Flower

推荐理由：

生活中不是缺少美，而是缺少发现美的眼睛；生活中不是缺少快乐，而是缺少感受快乐的心。

如果双目失明，我们是不是一定不快乐？如果健健康康，我们是不是一定快乐？

它再一次告诉我们，快乐在心。

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree.Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, For the world was intent on dragging me down.And if that weren‘t enough to ruin my day, A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play.He stood right before me with his head tilted down And said with great excitement, “Look what I found!”

In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, With its petals all worn-not enough rain, or too little light.Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then shifted away.But instead of retreating he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with surprise, “It sure smells pretty and it‘s beautiful, too.That‘s why I picked it;here, it‘s for you.”

The weed before me was dying or dead.Not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red.But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave.So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.”

But instead of him placing the flower in my hand, He held it mid-air without reason or plan.It was then that I noticed for the very first time, that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.I heard my voice quiver, tears shone like the sun.As I thanked him for picking the very best one.“You‘re welcome,” he smiled, and then ran off to play, Unaware of the impact he‘d had on my day.I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree.How did he know of my self-indulged plight? Perhaps from his heart, he‘d been blessed with true sight.Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world;the problem was me.And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that‘s mine.And then I held that wilted flower up to my nose and breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose And smiled as that young boy, another weed in his hand About to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.Author unknown

第七篇：Building

推荐理由：

总有一天，算计别人的时候，会算到自己的头上。

故事有些小小的幽默，并且意味深长。

A great and wise man once called one of his workmen to him saying, “Go into the far country and build for me a house.The decisions of planning and of actual construction will be yours, but remember, I shall come to accept your work for a very special friend of mine.”

And so the workman departed with a light heart for his field of labor.Material of all kinds was plentiful here, but the workman had a mind of his own.“Surely,” he thought, “I know my business.I can use a bit of inferior materials here and cheat on my workmanship a little there, and still make the finished work look good.Only I will know that what I have built has weaknesses.”

And so, at last the work was completed and the workman reported back to the great and wise man.“Very good,” he said.“Now remember that I wanted you to use only the finest materials and craftsmanship in this house because I wanted to make present of it——My friend, you are the one I had you build it for.It is all yours.”

How much like man.He comes to earth a stranger.He has his free agency.He may build as he likes.But on the morning of his resurrection he will receive what he has built for an eternal home and habitation.第八篇：Attitude is Everything

这是一篇很容易懂的文章，越到后面一切越出人意料。极力推荐。

Attitude is Everything

By Francie Baltazar-Schwartz

Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate.He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say.When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I would be twins!”

He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant.The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude.He was a natural motivator.If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.Seeing this really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, “I don‘t get it!You can‘t be a positive person all of the time.How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today.You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.‘ I choose to be in a good mood.Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it.I choose to learn from it.Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life.I choose the positive side of life.”

“Yeah, right, it‘s not that easy,” I protested.“Yes it is,” Jerry said.“Life is all about choices.When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice.You choose how you react to situations.You choose how people will affect your mood.You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.The bottom line: It‘s your choice how you live life.”

I reflected on what Jerry said.Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business.We lost touch, but often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers.While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination.The robbers panicked and shot him.Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center.After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.I saw Jerry about six months after the accident.When I asked him how he was, he replied, “If I were any better, I‘d be twins.Wanna see my scars?”

I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.“The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied.“Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die.I chose to live.”Weren‘t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?“ I asked.Jerry continued, ”The paramedics were great.They kept telling me I was going to be fine.But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.In their eyes, I read, ‘He‘s a dead man.“ I knew I needed to take action.”

“What did you do?” I asked.“Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry.“She asked if I was allergic to anything.‘Yes,‘ I replied.The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply..I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!‘ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live.Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.”

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.Attitude, after all, is everything.第九篇：The Fence

推荐理由：

从这篇文章里面，我至少感受到两点：第一，人的潜力是无穷的，很多时候你认为自己做不到的事情，其实可以。就像一些看似根深蒂固的习惯，其实可以改变。第二，正如文中所说，言语的伤害有时候比身体的伤害更严重，这个道理谁都懂，但是文中所用的比喻真的太绝妙。

The Fence

There was a little boy with a bad temper.His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence.The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.Then it gradually dwindled down.He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.Finally the day came when the boy didn‘t lose his temper at all.He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence.The fence will never be the same.When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one.You can put a knife in a man and draw it out.It won‘t matter how many times you say I‘m sorry, the wound is still there.A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed.They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.第十篇：The Eyes of Love

推荐理由:

在每一个爱你的人眼里，你都是最美丽的，连缺点都是美丽的。

所以我们每个人都可以自信满满，有理由有资本去自信，只要拥有了爱。

A grandmother and a little girl whose face was sprinkled with bright red freckles spent the day at the zoo.The children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.”You‘ve got so many freckles, there‘s no place to paint!“ a boy in the line cried.Embarrassed, the little girl dropped her head.Her grandmother knelt down next to her.”I love your freckles,“ she said.”Not me,“ the girl replied.”Well, when I was a little girl I always wanted freckles“ she said, tracing her finger across the child‘s cheek.”Freckles are beautiful!“

The girl looked up.”Really?“ ”Of course,“ said the grandmother.”Why, just name me one thing that‘s prettier than freckles.“

The little girl peered into the old woman‘s smiling face.”Wrinkles," she answered softly.Contributed by Father Pat

第五篇：最有哲理的句子

最有哲理的句子

1、天宇之间，每一颗星都有它的使命，也许我们并不知道，我们肩负怎样的使命来到世上，只有当我们像流星一样陨落时，我们才知道自己做过什么。人只有到了生命终结的时候，才知道自己这辈子过得幸福不幸福，快乐不快乐。

2、生命不是躯体，而是心性；人生不是岁月，而是永恒；云水不是景色，而是襟怀；日出不是早晨，而是朝气；风雨不是天象，而是锤炼；沧桑不是自然，而是经历；幸福不是状态，而是感受。

3、生活中苦乐都有，悲喜兼备，不快时就试着释放，别让愁绪堵在心上，烦躁时学会克制，免得伤了和气。

4、生活中，我们常常打败别人，却很难战胜自己，也就是说，自己的那颗心像一匹脱缰的野马，去了不该去、不能去的草原。

5、生活之路，难也好易也罢，总要体会许多，或甜或苦，留下的才能证明就是自己的。

6、痛苦并不是别人带给你的，而是你自己的修养不够，学会放下，别让自己活得太累。

7、人总是会遇到挫折的，人总是会有不被人理解的时候的，人总是有要低声下气的时候，这些时候恰恰是人生最关键的时候，因为大家都会碰到挫折，而大多数人过不了这个门槛，你能过，你就成功了。

8、谁都有心情不好的一时，谁也有烦躁的一刻，有时候想说却不知对谁开口，想哭却不清为何哭泣，只是感到特别难受。

9、生命中，不断的有人离开或进入，于是，看见的看不见了，记住的遗忘了；生命中不断的有得到和失落，于是，看不见的看见了，遗忘的记住了。

10、顺境时，多一份思索；逆境时，多一份勇气；成功时，多一份淡然；彷徨时，多一份信念。

11、痛并不可怕，苦并不可惧，怕的是苦的时候没人问讯，痛的时候没人安慰。

12、如果你曾经显赫过，而今没落了，流落于红尘俗世，当不再为过去的失意，心存芥蒂，耿耿于怀；不再为曾经的辉煌，肆意炫耀，自视清高。作为我等布衣平民，既无伟业更无建树，居平庸之流，更当自甘平庸，守中庸之道。

13、世上很多事是无法求全的，要学会排遣苦恼，宽以待人，知足常乐意志坚强。凡事不要有本就实现不了的非分之想，生活经验告诉我们，期望越高，失望也就越高。期望不那么高，反而容易满足。

14、生命的路上，耐心使你获得力量，耐心使你认清方向；耐心使你坦途疾进，耐心使你少遭波浪。

15、生活要的是一份淡然，这样才能够过的洒脱，人生是一场感悟，这样才会过的有意义，如爱情，一生一世，不离不弃；友情，千钧一发，一臂之力；亲情，一针一线，针线连心。

16、人一辈子只有一次，世上也没有后悔药，错过就是一辈子。不要等到失去他们的那一天，再追悔莫及。如果懂得珍惜，会发现你获得的越来越多，如果一昧去追求，为了自己的追求，不顾一切，不去注重珍惜，会发现你失去的越来越快越来越多。

17、万物随心，天下归心，心念一转，万念皆转，心路一通，万路皆通。

18、书是知识的宝库；书是进步的阶梯；书是人类的高级营养品。我们可以通过读书学习获得大量的知识，从而提高自己的才能，使自己变得聪明起来。

19、时间如流水，一去不复返，稍纵即逝，不容你一丝的停驻，一丝的眷恋。

20、我们每个人生命中都离不开供我们吃喝，教我们做人道理的双亲；离不开不为名利能和自己交心的朋友；离不开一个在深夜里为你热好饭菜的爱人，请珍惜你的眼前人吧。

21、人之所以会心累就是常常徘徊在坚持和放弃之间举棋不定；人之所以会痛苦，就是追求的太多；人之所以不快乐，就是计较的太多；人之所以会烦恼，就是记性太好，该记的，不该记的都会留在记忆里。
