The other side of the inspirational story

An elder told two stories, which sounded familiar and the ending was unexpected.

A general defeated and almost all the troops were wiped out and he was injured. He curled up in a broken temple, and the pain of failure was even more uncomfortable in the storms. He was almost desperate. At this time, he saw a broken spider web under the eaves, and a spider was trying to repair the broken net. The general watched the spider's every move, and he was tired and fell asleep unconsciously. When he woke up, he found that the spider had re-established the net, sitting in the middle of the net waiting for the food to come. The general was greatly encouraged by the tenacity of the spider. He regained his self-confidence and quickly regrouped and won the war.

In fact, the general did not know: the spider he had struck to fill the net at night had been drowned by the wind in the puddle. The net he saw was another spider after the rain. Convenient to build on the broken Internet.

A young man who failed to start a business repeatedly sat down in a tree in a depressed mood. He found that there was a crow not far away, trying to drink water from a glass bottle, but because the bottle mouth was too small and the water was not enough, the crow could not drink. Seeing such a scene, the young man immediately thought of himself. He felt that he was like a crow, and his dream was like the water in a bottle. It seemed to be close at hand, but he was destined to be out of reach. The lost young man stood up and walked away. He decided to succumb to reality and to be a mediocrity without ideals.

In fact, the young people did not know: After he left, the clever crow came to the pebbles, and the ones were put into the bottle, and the water in the bottle rose. The crows wished to drink the water and left the place with great enthusiasm.

The general gained confidence in the tragedy of a spider, but the young man saw only giving up and despair in the wisdom of the crow. Not only the generals and young people don’t know the final outcome of the story, we often don’t know whether there is any other side of the inspirational story that we can’t see. The two stories of the elders made me realize that we always think that we need outside encouragement and role models to support ourselves. In fact, the real power is hidden in our hearts.

It is undeniable that inspirational stories have made many people feel warm and encouraged, but these inspirational stories are more than just the head of our own power, and we cannot really decide whether or not to succeed or fail. This is also why some people are always inspired, but they never make a fuss. Some people can get the permanent power of progress with one touch. In the final analysis, a strong inner voice of dreams shouts and pushes our lives forward, which is no match for more incentives.

Today, the soul chicken soup is prevalent, more and more people need inspirational stories and urging of famous sayings to pull themselves forward. In fact, the real driving force for progress will only come from our heart: that is, the determination of life. With persistence.
