Small monk selling stones

One day, a little monk ran over and asked the Zen master: "Master, what is the greatest value of my life?" The Zen master said: "You go to the back garden to move a stone and get it to the market to sell. If someone asks for the price, you don't want it. Speaking, only one finger is extended; if he is bargaining with you, don't sell it, hold it back, Master tells you, what is the greatest value of your life."

Early the next morning, the little monk held a large stone and went to the vegetable market to sell it. People come and go in the market, people are very curious, a housewife came over and asked: "How much is the stone sold?" The monk extended two fingers, the housewife said: "1 yuan?" The monk shook his head, The housewife said: "So it is 10 yuan? Ok, okay! I just took it back to squeeze the sauerkraut." The little monk heard: "My mother, there is no worth of stone to buy 10 yuan! We are on the mountain. Some are!"

So, the little monk did not sell, and happily went to see Master: "Master, today a housewife is willing to pay 10 yuan to buy my stone. Master, you can tell me now, what is the greatest value of my life? "The Zen master said: "Well, don't worry, you will take this stone to the museum tomorrow morning. If someone asks for the price, you still stick out two fingers; if he pays the price, you don't want to sell it, then hold it back. Let's talk again."

The next morning, in the museum, a group of curious people watched and whispered: "What is the value of an ordinary stone in the museum?" "Since this stone is placed in the museum, it must have its value." "But we don't know it yet." At this time, a person came out of the crowd and shouted at the little monk: "Little monk, how much is your stone sold?" The little monk did not say anything, two out A finger, the man said: "100 yuan?" The little monk shook his head. The man said: "1000 yuan is 1000 yuan, just I want to use it to engrave a statue." The little monk heard this, stepped back, very Surprised!

He still followed the master's entrustment and took the stone back to the mountain to see the master: "Master, today someone wants to buy 1,000 yuan for this stone. This time you always tell me what is the greatest value of my life." "The Zen master laughed and said: "You will take this stone to the antique shop for sale tomorrow. If someone buys it, you will take it back. This time, the master must tell you that the greatest value of your life is what."

On the third day, the little monk came to the antique shop with the big stone. There are still some people watching. Some people talked about: "What stone is this? Where was it unearthed? Which dynasty is it? What do you use?" Finally, someone came to ask the price: "Little monk, how much is your stone sold?" The little monk still kept silent and extended two fingers. "10,000 yuan?" The young monk with wide eyes and open mouth, screamed in surprise: "Ah?!" The guest thought that his bid was too low, mad at the little monk, and immediately corrected: "No! No! No! I am wrong, I am going to give you 100,000 yuan!” “100,000 yuan!” The little monk heard this, immediately picked up the stone and flew back to the mountain to see Master, panting and saying: “Master, Master, this We can develop it, and today's donors are bidding for 100,000 yuan to buy our stones! Now you can always tell me what is the biggest value of my life?"

The Zen master touched the head of the little monk and said kindly: "Children, the greatest value of your life is like this stone. If you put yourself in the market, you will only be worth 10 yuan; if you put yourself In the museum, you are worth 1,000 yuan; if you put yourself in an antique shop, you value 100,000 yuan! Different platforms, different positioning, the value of life will be completely different!"

Not afraid of others looking down on you, I am afraid that you will look down on yourself. Who said that you have no value? Unless you treat yourself as a broken stone in the mud, no one can give you any definition of your life. The path you choose will determine what kind of life you have.

Does this story inspire you to think about your life? How will you position your life? What kind of life auction are you going to auction at? What kind of life stage do you have to find for yourself?

Why is it difficult for a boss to give up, and he will not give up easily, but if an employee does not go well, he wants to escape. Why does a couple have no more arguments and no divorce? A couple is often a small matter. It’s separated. After all, how much you invest in one thing, a relationship, how much pressure you can bear, how much success you can achieve, and how long you can stay. Feng Lun said that greatness is made out. Why use 熬, because the ordinary people can not afford the grievances you have to bear, ordinary people need others to understand comfort and encouragement, but you do not, ordinary people use negative counter blame to vent their emotions, but you must see love and light, learn in any matter Transforming and digesting, the average person needs a shoulder to lean on when it is weak, and you are the shoulder that others rely on. Xiao Zhuang said to Kangxi: Grandchildren, the biggest crisis in the Qing Dynasty is not the outside of the army, the greatest danger, in your own heart.

Disciple asks: Master, you sometimes beat people, and sometimes they are polite to people. Is there any mystery inside? Master said: Treating the best people directly to the people, you can fight and behave in a true way; Treating middle-class people is the most metaphorical to him, he wants to talk about the size, he can't stand the war; he treats the inferior with a smile, his hands are close together, he is very fragile, his mind is small, only with the secular etiquette to him! What are you suffering? Kind of grievances, decide who you can be.

Similarly, you complain, criticize, blame, resent every day, and you live in hell;

When I read heaven, I went to hell. Where is your heart, where is the achievement!

A person who can't swim, old swimming pool can't solve the problem;

A person who can't do things, old work can't solve his own ability;

A person who does not understand business love, old men and women friends can not solve the problem;

A person who does not know how to run a family, how to change a lover can not solve the problem;

A boss who does not learn will never succeed.

I am the root of everything. To change everything, we must first change ourselves! Learning is the fundamental to change oneself. In fact, what you love is yourself; what you like is also yourself. What you love, what you hate, are you. When you change, everything changes.

Your world is created by you;

Everything you have created is what you created;

You are the sun, your world is full of sunshine;

You are love, you live in the atmosphere of love;

You are happy, you are in laughter.
