Long, long ago, there were two brothers, the one rich and the other poor. When Christmas Eve came, the poor one had not a bite in the house, either of meat or bread; so he went to his brother, and begged him, in God's name, to give him something for Christmas Day. It was by no means the first time that the brother had been forced to give something to him, and he was not better pleased at being asked now than he generally was.
"If you will do what I ask you, you shall have a whole ham," said he. The poor one immediately thanked him, and promised this.
"Well, here is the ham, and now you must go straight to Dead Man's Hall," said the rich brother, throwing the ham to him.
"Well, I will do what I have promised," said the other, and he took the ham and set off. He went on and on for the livelong day, and at nightfall he came to a place where there was a bright light.
"I have no doubt this is the place," thought the man with the ham.
An old man with a long white beard was standing in the outhouse, chopping Yule logs.
"Good-evening," said the man with the ham.
"Good-evening to you. Where are you going at this late hour?" said the man.
"I am going to Dead Man's Hall, if only I am on the right track," answered the poor man.
"Oh! yes, you are right enough, for it is here," said the old man. "When you get inside they will all want to buy your ham, for they don't get much meat to eat there; but you must not sell it unless you can get the hand-mill which stands behind the door for it. When you come out again I will teach you how to stop the hand-mill, which is useful for almost everything."
So the man with the ham thanked the other for his good advice, and rapped at the door.
一个人最重要的要认识自己。那么,一个人要正确的认识自己有那么容易吗?一生中不认识自己的人大有人在,而做了一些错事。在现在,还有许多年轻人就是因为不认识自己,不好好利用现在这个社会中状况,受不起一点点挫折,坎坷,困难,悲观,而不做任何事把时光白白流去,实在可惜。
认识自己是非常困难的,但自己要有一个正确的认识,这是一个做人的基本要求。
你先认识自己吧。也许你不会做复杂的难题,也不会记不住的.如此多的单词,但是你可以在别的方面考虑自己的专长,假如你的理科不好,但是你可以学文科,假如你连一张桌子都画不好,但你有一个好嗓子......所以做人,要先认识自己,知道自己的长处,取长补短,找准目标,抓住时间把你所擅长的事情认真仔细的钻研下去,就会有丰富的果实。
我们真的正确的要认识自己,才能看清世界,充实你自己,才能做出一番事业。
人心难测,知人难,为人知更难。而要知己,则是难上加难。我们要有自知之明,才能成功。
做人最重要的是诚实
五年前的一天,我偷了家里的二十元钱,可是,父母没有“暴风骤雨”式地责备我,而是“天高云淡”般的和蔼地教导我,还把那二十元钱买的东西送给了我,我也从中感悟到了“做人最重要的是诚实”。
那一天,我如往常一样,放学后,独自一人走路回家。当走到那我每天都在驻足痴望的玩具店门前时,一眼望见了一辆非常精致的玩具小火车,心里不禁痒痒的,多么希望能拥有它啊,但是,它的价钱是二十元,这二十元对于那时的我,简直是一个天文数字。
回到家里,那辆精致的玩具小火车的影子,像着了魔似的在我脑海里
挥之不去,心里暗暗沉思着:“漂亮的小火车,总有一天我要得到你,可是我又该怎么办呢?”
那一周的星期天是轮到我做家务。在晾衣服的时候,那漂亮的玩具小火车又浮现在我的眼前,正在我发呆的时候,意外地发现妈妈的裤兜里有一叠钱,数一数,刚好二十元,心里暗暗庆幸,真是天助我也。于是,我连忙将这二十元钱藏了起来。
好不容易等到星期一上午放学,我急匆匆地奔向玩具店,想都没想就将玩具火车买下了,生怕被别人抢去似的。
回到家里,我迫不及待地伸手从书包里拿出小火车,却觉得这小火车沉重极了,“我是不是做错了?……嗯,还是诚实点,告诉母亲吧。”
那天晚上,我支支吾吾,手心直冒汗,我难以启齿,“我——我拿了二十元钱,买了一辆玩具小火车……”我终于说出了口。
但是,令我意想不到的是,父母竟然没有责备我,只是和蔼地说:“你的诚实比一万个二十元还重要,这辆小火车就当是给你的礼物吧。”
的确,一万个二十元也比不上一个诚实。从此,我牢记并常常告诫自己:做人最重要的是诚实。
