What are some short stories about philosophy?

1. Bell

A bell always rings as a whole no matter which side you strike. When people hear the bell, they only know that the bell is loud and long, and they never pay attention to which side it is ringing. The side that is often knocked is not convinced. It always wants to tell the world that it is me who is being knocked and it is I who is making the noise. To prove this, one night it worked hard to break the bell body and let the other three sides fall to the ground. Only it was still hanging, and it wanted people to hear its voice. But it didn't expect that if the bell piece is broken, no matter how hard you hit it, you won't be able to make a loud sound. The owner had to collect the fragments on the ground and prepare to cast a new bell. In the cold wind, it was the only one hanging alone on the tree. No one paid attention to it, making it look particularly deserted.

Enlightenment: The loud and long sound of the bell is the result of all parts working together. The bell piece without the bell body will not have the function of the bell body. To have it, it can only be together with other pieces. , accept the test of fire and become a "clock" again.

2. Such a difference

Harvard University in the United States once conducted a very famous experiment. One year they conducted a survey about life goals among a group of students who were about to graduate from Harvard University. The intelligence, academic qualifications, and environmental conditions of this group of students were almost the same. The survey results are as follows: 3% of people have clear and long-term goals; 10% of people have clear but relatively short-term goals; 60% of people have vague goals; 27% of people have no goals.

Five years later, Hefo conducted a follow-up investigation on this group of students. The result is this: 3% of people have worked tirelessly in one direction for 25 years and almost all have become successful people from all walks of life, including many industry leaders and social elites; 10% of people have continuously achieved their short-term goals, They have become professionals in various fields, and most of them live in the middle and upper classes of society; 60% of them live and work comfortably, but have no special achievements, and resume their lives in the middle and lower classes of society; the remaining 27% People have no goals in life, live a very unsatisfactory life, and often complain about others, society, and the world that "does not give them opportunities."

Enlightenment: Ideals are guiding stars. Without ideals, there is no way forward; without a firm direction, there is no life. Without determination, nothing can be accomplished in the world.

3. The remuneration of the unpaid farmer

Fleming was a poor Scottish farmer. One day while working in the fields, he heard crying nearby. He put down the farm tools and ran over, and found that a child had fallen into the manure pit. Fleming rushed to save the child from the brink of death. The next day, a brand new carriage stopped in front of the farmer's house, and an elegant gentleman got out of the carriage. He introduced himself as the father of the rescued child. The gentleman said: "I want to repay you because you saved my child's life." The farmer said: "I don't want to receive any reward for this." At this time, the farmer's son came over from the hut, and the gentleman asked: "Is this your son?" The farmer said, "Yes." The gentleman said, "Let's make an agreement. Let me take him away and let him receive a good education. If he can be like his father, he will definitely be a good person in the future. Become a person that makes you proud." The farmer agreed. Later, the farmer's son graduated from St. Mary's Medical College in England and became the world-famous Sir Fleming Alexander. He was the inventor of penicillin (penicillin). A few years later, the gentleman's son contracted pneumonia. What saved him? It was penicillin. Who is that gentleman? Churchill, a member of the British House of Lords. Who is his son? Sir Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister during World War II.

Enlightenment: A simple and kind-hearted Scottish farmer saved people in urgent need, did not ask for rich rewards, and did a good deed based on human instinct, which actually brought good opportunities to his children. And because of his children's achievements, he healed the gentleman's son, Sir Winston Churchill, who later became Prime Minister during World War II. It's incredible how a little kindness from an ordinary farmer can bring about such a major change in the world.
