Inspirational stories of the desert, inspirational stories of success The people who crossed the des

Once upon a time, there was a man who decided to challenge himself by crossing the desert alone. He made a lot of preparations: he brought enough dry food, water, and clothes of various thicknesses; He also brought books and CDs, so that he could read and listen to ** when he was bored; Even in order to get back to the house without a rancid smell, he even cleaned the room before leaving.

In order to prevent any accidents in the desert, he took everything he could think of with him, and ended up his car was stuffed with all sorts of things: parasols, shotguns, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a huge medicine box. There's even champagne and a corkscrew – because be sure to open the bottle to celebrate after the crossing.

After inspecting all the doors and windows of the house, he said goodbye to his friends and drove to fulfill his dream for many years, but he never returned. He was indeed very well prepared; At first, he was neither hungry nor frozen or stuffy, and not only that, but he was comfortable in the desert, but after a few days he got lost, and the wind and sand in the desert always swept the surrounding scenery beyond recognition at night, making it impossible to distinguish the direction. And he, because he had to prepare so many things, was so busy that he forgot to bring the compass in the end.

Work should be prioritized, and the main problem must not be neglected because of some minor things.

There is a small village in the city of Ordos in Inner Mongolia, in the heart of the desert, which is perennially arid. When the wind blows, the rolled up yellow sand covers the sky. Water has become the longing of the locals, and the ancestors gave this village a name related to water

Bo Jianghai. However, the hope did not materialize. Due to the growing size of the desert, the locals had to leave their homes.

Sand advances and people retreat, it is not a new thing in Bojianghai.

Today, it is a timber production site. How do miracles come about?

In order to prevent wind and fix sand, people try their best. In the early 90s of the last century, the local people called on the people to plant salix. Salix is one of the very few desert plants that can grow in saline-alkali land, poplars, willows and other large-diameter trees can not grow again within three to five years after being cut down, and Salix is in the third year in time to level the stubble.

Cut off the grown salix and leave it alone after that, and new salix will grow quickly.

It has been found that in addition to windbreak and sand fixation, Salix is also an economical and environmentally friendly wood. Salix is an excellent material for the manufacture of fiberboard, Bojianghai built a wood-based panel factory, with an annual output of 8 to 100,000 cubic meters, and the factory purchased Salix at a price of 240 yuan per ton. The enthusiasm of the masses to plant Salix was fully mobilized, and the vast desert began to be covered with patches of Salix.

Within a radius of 100 kilometers around the company, selling salix has become the main income of many families.

Salix can also be used to generate electricity. Through analysis, the results are beyond everyone's expectations, the calorific value of Salix is the same as that of ordinary coal, and many times the coal is not as good as Salix, Salix is simply a green coalfield that can be mined continuously. At the beginning of this year, the first biomass thermal power plant in China's desert was built in the local area, using psammophyte shrubs as raw materials.

Less than two kilometers away from the power plant is a methanol chemical plant, which uses all of its water every year from industrial wastewater. After the biomass power generation is completed, the residual plant ash is the raw material for making potash fertilizer. "Waste" is utilized from start to finish without producing waste itself.

The maximum utilization makes the humble sand willow not only play a role in transforming the desert, but also support the two pillar industries in the desert. In fact, nature does not treat humans badly, even in deserts, as long as there is no lack of discovery and wisdom, miracles can still be created.

Over the years, I have listened to three stories related to the desert, and three stories have influenced my cognition.

The first story: an airplane crash-landed in the desert due to a machine failure. Fortunately, the dozen or so passengers on board the plane had no personnel**, lost contact with the outside world, and everyone discussed walking out of the desert together.

Among these dozen people, there are university professors, organic leaders, businessmen, writers, and lawyers, all of whom are social elites anyway, except for a somewhat stupid fool.

Several people walked together, the vast sea of sand had no end, and the farther and farther they went, the more tired they became. Suddenly, they saw an oasis not far away, and in the middle of the oasis was a pool of clear water. They cheered together and ran to the oasis together, but when they got closer, the oasis slowly disappeared - it was a mirage!

Carrying endless disappointment, they continued on their way, hoping to get out of the desert as soon as possible, and just as they were about to be exhausted, another oasis appeared in front of them, and they ran past it with all their might, and the oasis disappeared again, still a mirage. But the instinct of survival made them move on, the exhausted people moved like that under the scorching sun, maybe it was providence, there was another oasis in front of them, this time no one believed it, the disappointment and physical powerlessness made them no longer want to go to the oasis, they decided to give up, at this time only the fool believed that it was an oasis, he crawled over little by little, and finally when he reached his destination, he found that it was really an oasis, and after drinking water, the fool waited for the rescue. News for the next day:

A plane carrying more than a dozen high-ranking intellectuals made an emergency landing in the desert, and because they lost contact with the outside world, they were all killed in the sand because of the heat, hunger and thirst, and one survived, and the strangest thing was that the others were only a few dozen steps away from the water source.

The second story.

A philosophical life story: Walking in the Desert

Two people were walking across the desert together, and the water ran out, and because the weather was dry, there was no water to drink in the desert, and one of them fell ill from heat stroke and could not move. The remaining healthy and hungry man said to his companions: "My dear friend, we have no water to drink now, you wait here, and I will go and find water."

Before leaving, he put the pistol in his companion's hand and said: "There are five bullets in the gun, remember, after three hours, one shot is fired into the air for every hour of defeat." Hearing the gunshots, I'll find the right direction and join you. ”

After the two broke up, Cha Chendan confidently went to find a water source, and the other lay in the desert waiting suspiciously. His eyes were fixed on his watch, and he honked on time. He had a hard time believing that anyone but himself could hear the gunshots.

His fear deepened, and for a moment he thought that his companion might fail in finding water, or perhaps die of thirst halfway through. After a while, believing that his companion had found water, he forsook him and never returned.

When it was time to fire the fifth shot, the man thought indignantly: "This is the last bullet, and my partner has long since lost hearing my shot, so what will I have to rely on when this bullet is used?" I just have to wait for death.

And how painful it would be for the vultures to peck at my eyes while I was still breathing, and it would be better to ......He aimed his gun at his temple and pulled the trigger.

But a few minutes later, the companion carrying a jug full of water led a caravan of camels to follow the sound. All he saw was a corpse.

Sometimes, because of our distrust of ourselves, others, or society as a whole, we lose a lot of things that we should have gained. Desert.

Once upon a time, there was a family of two brothers who were at odds, and the younger brother moved to another village, and they inherited their father's business and chose to grow Chinese medicinal herbs to get rich. In the first year, the herbs of the two brothers grew well and were sold for a good price. The following year, they continued to expand their plantings, and the Na hope for a good harvest the coming year.

But unfortunately, due to the climate, the medicinal herbs in their fields almost dried up and died. Seeing that the situation was not good, the elder brother mobilized the whole family to fetch water where there was water, and refilled the dead half. After a few months, the sky finally fell with raindrops.

However, due to missing the best growth period, the medicinal herb seedlings are dead next to the land and have not grown tall. The elder brother was so anxious that he almost pulled out the grass in the field and applied the best fertilizer to them. Under his painstaking management, the growth of medicinal herbs and seedlings is quite good.

One day, the elder brother secretly ran to his brother's field to look, and found that there was not a single medicinal herb in his brother's field, all of which were overgrown with grass.

When it was time to harvest the herbs, he went to his own field and looked dumbfounded, because what this herb needed was its flowers, and the herbs he planted had good leaves, but only a few flowers. That year, my brother almost went bankrupt. And the younger brother made a fortune.

My brother didn't understand and wanted to find out. Unexpectedly, the answer given to him by his younger brother was: "You collect medicinal herbs, and I collect grass."

The younger brother said that he was also very distressed when he saw that the grass grew in the field but not the medicinal herbs, and he knew that he had no power to return to the sky, so he no longer cared about those medicinal herbs, and turned his eyes to the grass, he pulled out all the medicinal herbs, and then applied all the fertilizer to the grass in the field. After that, he used the rest of the money to buy a flock of sheep and cut the grass in the field to raise the sheep, so he got the money back without any difficulty.

When my brother heard this, he suddenly realized. His failure is a failure, and he has always focused on medicinal herbs, destroying holes and anti-weeds, and eradicating them as superfluous things.

There is also a story about a group of people going to pan for gold, and there is a person next to him**. The group dug three feet into the ground and found not a single gold, and they dug three feet into the ground and still found no gold. After a month, the group still got nothing, and the person who was next to him had already made a fortune, because he sold the sand that was hungry from this group of people to those who needed to build.

In life, sometimes we make this mistake too. After identifying what you need, everything else related to it becomes superfluous, and you ignore the value of "grass" and "sand". Yu Kai.
