Kneel for a fable about seizing the opportunity .

(Isn't it?) Very educational and well known)

Once upon a time, there was a herdsman who kept dozens of sheep, grazing during the day and herding into a sheepfold at night surrounded by firewood, grass, and wooden stakes.

One morning, the herdsman went to herd the sheep and found that one was missing. It turned out that there was a hole in the sheepfold, and a wolf came in through the hole during the night and took a sheep away.

The neighbors advised him, "Hurry up and repair the sheepfold and close the hole." ”

He said, "The sheep have been lost, so what are you going to do with the sheepfold?" "Didn't take the kind advice of the neighbors.

The next morning, he went to herd the sheep and found that another sheep was missing. It turned out that the wolf had gone into the fold out of the hole and had taken another sheep away.

The herder regretted that he had not taken the advice of his neighbours to take remedial measures in time. So, he hurriedly plugged the hole, strengthened it from the whole, and repaired the sheepfold firmly.

Since then, the herdsman's sheep have never been taken away by wild wolves.

The stories of pastoralists tell us that it is common to make mistakes and suffer setbacks. As long as we can learn lessons seriously and take remedial measures in a timely manner, we can avoid continuing to make mistakes and suffering greater losses.

Once upon a time, there was a very devout priest in a small town church, he believed in the Buddha, never married, and was still alone at the age of eighty. The Buddha was very moved when he saw what the priest had done in heaven. So the Buddha planned to repay the priest.

One night, the priest saw the Buddha in a dream.

The Buddha said to him, "My dear child, I am very touched by the fact that you have been with me in the church for so many years. So I have a dream for you today, tomorrow there will be a flood in the town, and many people will drown.

You don't have to be afraid, I'll save you when the time comes. The priest woke up in the morning and recounted the dream, and was very happy.

At this time, a policeman came knocking on the window of the church and shouted: "Father, run, there is a lot of water in the town, and it will be too late to run away!" The priest went to the window and looked, yo! Sure enough, the streets of the town were flooded, and the flood was still **.

The priest calmly said to the police, "Go first." I'm going to wait for the Buddha to come and save me.

The policeman almost lay down and left without a sound. The flood is still there, entering the church. The priest climbed to the bell tower.

At this time, a motorboat drove over, and the rescuers shouted to the priest: "Father, if you don't leave, you will be drowned!" The priest waved his hand and said, "Son, go first, the Buddha and his old man will come to save me!"

The vaporetto is also gone. The flood water was getting higher and higher, and the priest finally had no choice but to climb to the top of the church, clutching the spire and crumbling. He looked around and said, "Hey, it's all water, where did you say this Buddha went?"

At this time, I saw a *** driving over, which was the last survival target of the search and rescue team.

The people on the plane shouted to the priest: "Father, grab the rope ladder and come with us, the Buddha will not come."

After his death, the priest's soul came to heaven and saw God. The priest was angry and asked the Buddha: You said you were going to save me, why don't you count?

When the Buddha heard this, he also became angry: "Why do you say you are so stupid? You said that I was so busy in the sky that I didn't have time to go in person, so I sent a policeman, a motorboat, and a helicopter to rescue you, and if you didn't leave, weren't you looking for death?

When the opportunity comes to you, you must seize it in time, that is the arrangement that the Buddha gave you!

Finally, one day, King Wu saw Gou Jian's loyalty and released him to return to Yue. The released Gou Jian made up his mind to regroup and regain the old rivers and mountains, he seized a rare opportunity, returned to Yue and spent ten years to expand the population, enrich the country and strengthen the army, and finally destroyed the Wu State.

It was precisely because Gou Jian seized this opportunity that he took revenge and destroyed the state of Wu.

Newton was resting under the apple tree, an apple fell and hit him, Newton was a good thinker, after his hard exploration, research, finally discovered the law of gravitation.

Li Ka-shing seized the business opportunity and borrowed a huge amount of money to buy a large amount of land when he was not wealthy. What courage and wisdom it takes to do so. It was this investment that ordinary people would never have dared to think of, and 20 years later, he made a fortune and became an Asian real estate tycoon.

Hilton, the king of the world's hotels, followed the gold nugget craze to Denmark in his early years, he was not as lucky as others, and he did not dig a piece of gold, but he got another favor from God. When he was disappointed and ready to go home, he found a business opportunity that was more precious than **, and he quickly grasped it.

Zhang San and Li Si always like to argue about whether ability or opportunity is important, and they often fight over it. Zhang San said: "Of course, ability is important, as long as you have the ability, you will definitely succeed."

Li Si retorted: "Opportunities are more important, in reality, there are many incapable people who can soar as long as they have opportunities." Finally, God couldn't stand their arguments anymore and appeared before them.

Zhang San and Li Si wanted God to speak for themselves, but God said, "I'm sorry, I haven't figured out which is more important, ability and opportunity, so why don't you help me verify it." Zhang San and Li Si asked God in amazement

Li Si thinks that opportunities are important, so I will give Li Si opportunities. You take what you think is important and fight hard in the world, and in the end you see who is better, and then you will understand which is more important, ability and opportunity? Since then, Zhang San has an enviable ability, he thinks, he is now a talent, everyone will definitely compete for him, as long as he sits at home and waits, he will naturally have a lot of jobs to find him, and he can't pick it when the time comes.

With such thoughts, Zhang San had nothing to do every day, just waiting for someone to come to the door automatically, but after a long time, few people came to him, even if one or two people came occasionally, he thought that if he accepted such a job, he would definitely lose to Li Si, so he still chose to continue to wait, waiting for a better opportunity to come to him. Li Si is surrounded by all kinds of employment opportunities to make a fortune, which makes him happy. He worked tirelessly to find a job everywhere, and although many units were short of manpower, they did not accept him when they applied because of his low ability.

Later, he partnered with others to do business, and his luck was always very good, and he made a lot of money, and he couldn't help but thank God for the arrangement, and he was more convinced that opportunity was the most important thing. But it didn't take long for his company to suffer huge losses due to poor management. However, because there were many opportunities around Li Si, a great opportunity to turn losses into profits soon appeared, but Li Si's ability was limited, so he missed this opportunity.

There are many opportunities to take advantage of in the future, but Li Si either missed it or didn't grasp it. God appeared again, and when he saw that none of them had achieved anything, he asked them: "Now what do you say is more important than the power and the opportunity?"

Through their own personal experience, Zhang San and Li Si finally understood that ability and opportunity are very important, and from then on, they no longer argued about this issue. Opportunities are always available for those who are capable. No matter how lucky a person is, no matter how many opportunities he has, if he doesn't have the ability, he will only waste it.

If a person only has the ability and does not seek, grasp and create opportunities, he will only waste his talents in the end.

Other people's stories are always other people's stories, and you have to know how to dig your own stories, so that you can have an experience, and you think about whether you have any stories that grasp the opportunity.
