Two inspirational stories to understand the true meaning of life

Ideal and reality

Once upon a time, two hungry people got the gift of an elder: a fishing rod and a huge fish. Among them, one person asked for a squid and the other asked for a fishing rod, so they parted ways.

The person who got the fish used the dry wood to set up the bonfire and boiled the fish. He gorged himself and did not taste the meat of the fresh fish. In a flash, even the fish with the soup was eaten by him. Soon, he starved to death. Beside the empty fishing rod.

The other person continued to hungry with the fishing rod and walked hard to the beach step by step, but when he had seen the blue ocean not far away, his last strength was also finished. It can only be stunned with endless regrets.

There are two other hungry people who also receive a fish gill and a trout from the elders. It’s just that they didn’t go their separate ways, but they agreed to go together to find the sea. They only cook one fish at a time. They went to the beach after a long trek. From then on, the two started fishing for a living, several years. After that, they built a house, had their own families, children, and built their own fishing boats, and lived a happy and healthy life.

He came to the city from the countryside only. He graduated from the middle school only and his body was very thin. He could only find a lighter physical activity. He went to a cleaning company, the main job is to wipe the glass, the company manages food and accommodation, and the monthly salary is 300 yuan.

He is very satisfied, and he is very hard to work hard. Someone asked him: "You are so small, why don't you go to school at home, come out and get this money by sin?" He said: "My family is poor, my father is jealous, my mother is farming, my family has no money for me to go to school, my culture is too low. I am very satisfied with this job, and I can send some money to my family every month."

He has been cleaning the glass in this cleaning company. His colleagues have changed batches and batches. Some even just did it for three or four days because he was too scared to work and dirty. He has been sticking to this position. For five years, he is already a man in his twenties. He has almost served in office buildings, hotels and shopping malls in the city. His work is as hard as ever, and many customers have also named the company to send him over. He has become the company's image spokesperson.

People know him, he and his clients have become acquaintances and friends. One day, a new girl asked him: "I heard that you have rubbed glass for five years and earned only 300 yuan a month. Why not change jobs?" He smiled and said: "It will change."

One day, the well-known glass cleaner suddenly disappeared. A few days later, a fast food restaurant opened, and the boss was the one who wiped the glass for five years. Fast food is very adaptable to the fast pace of the city, the competition is naturally fierce, and his fast food restaurant quickly opened up.

The reason is very simple. He spent five years in glass cleaning, went to every office building, hotel, shopping mall, and got to know the people inside.

When his fast food restaurant developed into the corner of the city and the assets were over 10 million, everyone who knew him said with emotion: "The boss has wiped the glass for five years."

A reporter interviewed him and asked him how to open a fast food restaurant from a glass-cut wage earner and stand out among many powerful competitors. He only said one sentence: "Because I have been rubbing glass for five years and it is very well polished!"
