Complaining can't change life
After eating a lot of closed doors, the frustrated one-armed beggar finally knocked on the door of this beautifully decorated villa on a hot afternoon. The one who came to open the door was an old lady with a plump body and a calm demeanor. The one-armed beggar glanced at it and frowned and started to the old woman pitifully. "You are a kind person, please give me something." My money, the weather is so hot, I have been begging for a penny all morning."
Seeing the dirty person, the old woman didn’t hurriedly give him some money and drove him away in disgust. She just calmly looked up and down the beggar carefully: "Young man, I think you are young and strong. Why don’t you rely on your own strength to feed yourself, but you want to beg for a living here?"
"Using my own power... how is it possible? I only have one arm..." the beggar said while shaking the empty sleeve to the old woman, "Ah, I blame my bad life, you think I like the present Life? I’m so sick and I’m not as good as a dog, but I only have one arm, what can I do? What else can I do except live like this?!" The beggar is obviously dissatisfied with his current situation . After hearing the beggar's complaint, the old woman didn't say a word, just opened the courtyard door and made a gesture to let the beggar in. The beggar followed the old woman into the courtyard suspiciously. Obviously the house hadn't been built for a long time. Although the exterior was beautifully decorated, the courtyard was messy.
Walking to the pile of bricks at the door of the house, the old woman stopped, turned her head and said to the one-armed beggar: "If you can help me move this pile of bricks to the flower pond, I will give you money!"
"What?" Hearing the old woman's request, the beggar couldn't help exclaiming. He complained in his heart: "Nowadays rich people are really stingy, and a disabled person like me is so real!" The old woman seemed to see through the beggar's mind, but she didn't say anything, just walked to the bricks. Beside the pile, pick up a brick with one hand and throw it beside the flower pond: "Look, one hand is fine!"
The beggar had no choice but to carry it with one hand like an old woman, but he felt bitter in his heart. Two hours later, the beggar finally moved the brick over. While he was sitting on the ground panting and unable to move anymore, the old woman walked out of the room with a glass of water and smiled: "Come on, boy, drink some water. This is your reward, you Take it."
After speaking, the old woman stuffed two hundred yuan into the hands of the beggar. "Payment?" The beggar was puzzled. "Yes, you helped me with my work, this is your reward! Don't complain about your physical defects anymore, see, you can also feed yourself!" The old woman said in an unquestionable tone Say.
The one-armed beggar was holding money, but his heart was deeply shaken. He stood up, bowed to the old woman, then walked out the door with his head held high. Many years later, the one-armed beggar became famous for his delicious and cheap wonton shop.
Speaking of the past, he always expresses this emotion: "It was the two hundred dollars of the aunt that made me find my goal in life. From then on, I only want to support myself by my own ability!" American Civilization Father Emerson has a famous saying: Success on your own.
Success is not a pie falling from the sky, it's whoever hits it. Success requires us to work hard, fight, and then use sweat and tears to make it happen.
When you complain because your ideal is difficult to realize, you should calm down and think about whether you really have a lofty and realistic ideal; even if you have such an ideal, you have to think seriously Let me know if I have paid anything for the realization of my ideals.
