Examples of generosity winning returns, about the celebrities of generosity!

Legend has it that in ancient times, a prime minister asked a barber to cut his hair. When the barber was halfway through the trimming of the prime minister, perhaps he was too nervous and accidentally shaved off the prime minister's eyebrows. Oh!

It's terrible, he secretly complained. Immediately frightened, knowing that the prime minister would inevitably blame him, he couldn't afford it!

The barber is a person who often walks on the rivers and lakes, and knows the general psychology of people: there is no anger under praise. He was in a hurry and suddenly woke up! hurriedly stopped the razor, and deliberately looked at the prime minister's belly in a daze, as if he wanted to see through the internal organs.

When the prime minister saw him like this, he felt inexplicable. Puzzled, he asked, "Why do you not trim your face, but only look at my belly?" ”

The barber hurriedly explained: "People often say that the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, but I don't think the belly of an adult is big, so how can he support the boat?" When the prime minister heard the barber say this, he laughed: "That is the prime minister's greatest strength, and he can tolerate some small things, and he never cares." ”

When the barber heard this, he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said with tears in his eyes: "Damn it, the little one accidentally shaved off Xiangye's eyebrows when he was trimming his face!" Xiang Ye is very angry, please forgive your sins. ”

When the prime minister heard this, he laughed and laughed: My eyebrows have been shaved off, so how will I see people in the future? couldn't help but be furious, and was about to have a seizure, but he thought about it calmly: I just said that the prime minister is the most powerful, how can I punish him for this trivial matter?

So, the prime minister said open-mindedly and gently: "It's okay, just go and get the pen and draw the eyebrows." ”

Three examples of Lincoln's generosity:

1. Once, when Lincoln was polishing his shoes, a foreign diplomat came up to him, and when he saw such a dignified American ** doing a humble trivial, he was very surprised and asked with contempt: "Sir, you actually wiped your own shoes?" ”

However, to the surprise of the diplomat, Lincoln was not annoyed, but calmly asked, "Yes." Stumped to wipe other people's shoes? ”

2. On the eve of Lincoln's campaign, when he was speaking in the Senate, he was humiliated by a senator, who said, "Mr. Lincoln, before you begin your speech, I want you to remember that you are the son of a shoemaker." ”

I am so grateful to you for reminding me of my father, who has passed away, and I must remember your advice, I know that I can't do as well as my father did as a shoemaker. ”

3. When the war in the United States was not going well, many soldiers deserted, which greatly affected morale, but Lincoln did not easily execute deserters. Once, a member of Congress was furious and accused Lincoln, saying, "Isn't desertion a death penalty?" It's going to bring down the army. ”

Ah, no, no! Shaking his head sadly: "If I were to shoot the deserters in droves, I would have heard an unprecedented amount of noise, and it would have been self-inflicted."

You can't give the order to shoot groups of people. The people will not tolerate that, and neither should they. No, we have to do something else to change the situation. ”
