Help me find some great truths about winter and a few short stories about winter encouragement.

Don't cut down trees in winter

A child came to a small farm with his father. While playing, the child noticed that one of several fig trees was dead. Its bark had peeled off and its branches were no longer a dark green color, but completely yellow. The child reached out and touched it, and the branch snapped with a snap.

The child said to his father, "Dad, that tree died a long time ago, cut it down! We'll plant another one." But Dad stopped him. He said, "Son, maybe it did die. But it will probably bud and branch again after the winter is over - it's getting its strength back! Remember, son, don't cut down the tree in winter."

As my father had expected, the next spring the fig tree, which had seemed to be dead, actually sprouted again, and came to life in the spring, just like all the other trees. In fact, only a few branches of the tree had really died, and in the spring, the whole tree was full of leaves, green and pleasant, not much different from its other partners.

The former child later became an elementary school teacher. In his more than 20 years of teaching, he encountered similar situations more than once. Pierre, who stammered when he memorized the alphabet as a child, is now a lawyer of some note; and Basque, who was the naughtiest of all and got the worst grades ever, is now a top student at the university, and after graduation has started his own red-hot company.

The most incredible is his own son, Brown. He had the misfortune of contracting polio at an early age and was almost an invalid. But the elementary school teacher remembered his father's words and did not give up hope for his son, always encouraging him not to be discouraged. Now, Brown has successfully completed his college program and works as the administrator of the public **** library. It is very difficult to realize that Brown can only move 3 fingers of his left hand, and it is very difficult to hold the glasses on the bridge of his nose!

"Don't cut down trees in winter" has always been an inspiration to that little boy, and every time he encountered something that made him frustrated and sad, he relied on these words to get through one family and career crisis after another. As long as you don't give up easily, everything has a chance to turn around.

Axiom: Difficulties and setbacks are momentary, as long as the difficulties and setbacks in front of the straight back, do not get down, hold on, because as long as you insist on there will be a turnaround. The Goddess of Fortune is also only at the mercy of those who are at the mercy of arbitrary fate.

Germany's female chancellor Angola? Angela Merkel is one of the most impressive female politicians in the world today, and she has left a deep impression with that image of an iron lady who is not afraid of change. Born on July 17, 1954, Angola? Merkel has been an excellent girl since childhood, she is quick thinking, wide range of interests, in school has always been a good student in both character and excellence. 14 years old, small Angola full of confidence to participate in the school student body presidential election, but, once upon a time, was regarded as the pride of Angola but suffered a crushing defeat, classmates accused her of not smiling, lack of affinity; conservative thinking, lack of creativity, completely unsuitable for the role of She was accused by her classmates of not being friendly, not having a smile on her face, not being creative, and not being suitable for the position of student council president. Unable to accept the criticism, Angola was so upset that she didn't even want to go to school for several days. Angola's father, Kasnar, a knowledgeable church pastor, knew his daughter very well and loved her very much, and this father had high expectations for his daughter. In order for his daughter to be able to deal with life's setbacks in the right frame of mind, the father told his daughter a short story about his own personal experience:

One mid-winter morning, the wind outside the house was bitterly cold. In the bathroom on the Hou, Kasnar suddenly found a small black spot in the upper left corner of the bathroom mirror, a closer look, it turned out to be a very large mosquito. Slender feet, long mouth, abdomen with lines, looks very ugly. He raised his palm, ready to slap down hard, but the mosquito shook its wings, circled twice in the air, and stopped in the corner of the bathroom.

Suddenly, Kasnar was vaguely moved and stopped chasing the mosquito. In his mind, he had three reasons to let it live: first, it was a heroic mosquito. It was freezing cold, and all its tribe members had long since disappeared, but it was able to challenge its physical limits and stand strong in the harsh environment. Kasnar honored such a being. Secondly, it is a dynamic mosquito. After the harsh natural selection, it still has strong limbs and sensitivity as usual, this life is already considered a miracle. Kasnar cherishes such a miracle. Thirdly, it is a mosquito that loves life. In the case of its kind have died, it is still optimistic to live, how can not let a person admire it?

Kasnar told his wife of his peculiar feelings, and she was unimpressed. Her words forced Kasnar to rethink the lonely mosquito. The wife said: "If the bathroom in our house is not as warm as it is now, this mosquito will still survive? Obviously, this mosquito is a stupid mosquito that covets warmth and comfort without realizing that danger has arrived! It deserves to die!" With that, the wife grabbed a can of insecticide and sprayed the bathroom thoroughly. As a result, the big, lonely mosquito dropped to the floor in an instant and died without a struggle, not giving the feeling of sadness that one gets when a hero sacrifices his life.

After telling this experience, Kasnar said to his daughter in a serious tone: "The same lonely mosquito, we have two very different perceptions and evaluations of it. Dear child, in life, when someone praises us as heroes or belittles us as bears, it is just that they impose their own ideas on us, it does not mean that we are really great or small. Just like this one lonely mosquito, reputation does not change its attributes, we will always be ourselves! Don't be swayed by the words of others!"

Little Angola flashed her big eyes at her father, the clever Angola understood the deep meaning of her father's conversation, from then on, the little girl no longer valued other people's comments, but in accordance with her own ideals in life, constantly struggling to struggle, step by step, towards success, first she became a physicist with outstanding contributions, and then stepped into the political arena, served as the chairman of the CDU party in Germany, but also Then she entered politics as the president of the CDU party, became a government minister, and finally became the first female chancellor in German history. When people interviewed the female chancellor, she was once very proud to say, "I can not forget this life is my father said that the mosquito, which helped me walk through many of life's difficulties."
