Inspirational story

Reading a lot of books does not mean that you know more.


In order to build a house, the doctor of the Song Dynasty sent a person to cut down the plant in his own seal and approve the timber. When the materials were delivered to the house site, he found a craftsman and urged him to start building on the same day.

The craftsman looked at it. The wood on the ground was still stacked and the branches were not cleaned up. Where the bark falls off, it reveals a lustrous, moist, self-cultivating wood core; at the break of the tree, there is also a burst of resin fragrance. How can I use this kind of wood to build a house right away? So the craftsman should say to Gaoyang: "We can't start work yet. These woods that have just been cut down have too much water and are flexible." It is easy to bend after the mud is loaded. The house covered with this kind of wood is not much different from the house covered with dry wood, but for a long time, the house covered with wet wood is easy to collapse."

Gao Yang should listen to the words of the craftsman and smile coldly. He said cleverly: "As you can see, isn't there a problem that is easy to bend after the wet wood is loaded? However, you don't think that the wet wood will harden when it is dry, and the thin mud will become lighter. After that, it will not be long before the wood and the soil will dry out: At that time, the house was supported by hardened wood to support the lighter soil. How could it collapse?” The craftsmen only knew the house covered with wet wood in practice. They also feel embarrassed that life is not long. Therefore, the craftsman had to follow the instructions of Gao Yang. Although at

It is inconvenient to use axe and chisel to push the saw on the wet wood. The craftsman still overcomes all kinds of difficulties and builds the skeleton of the house according to the size and specifications. After the mud was applied, a new house was completed.

At the beginning of the day, Gao Yang was very proud of the fact that he soon lived in a new house. He believes that this is the result of his own use of the mind to subdue the craftsman. But for a long time, this new house in Gaoyang should be tilted more and more.

His optimism was also replaced by worry. Gao Yangying moved out of the house in fear of an accident. It was not long before the house finally collapsed.

Feelings of life: When we complete important tasks, we must seek the opinions of others to learn from others' experiences, respect real experience and objective laws, and not subjectively; otherwise, they are vulnerable to failure.
