? There is a toothpaste factory with excellent products and exquisite packaging, which is deeply loved by customers. Since 10, the turnover has been increasing continuously, with an annual growth rate of 10% ~ 20%. But in 1 1 year, the performance stagnated, and so did the next two years. The company manager held a high-level meeting to discuss countermeasures. The president of the company promised at the meeting that whoever can come up with a solution to the problem and make the company's performance grow will be rewarded with 654.38+10,000 yuan. A young manager stood up and handed the president a piece of paper. After reading it, the president immediately signed a check for 654.38 million yuan to the manager. The note said: Enlarge the existing toothpaste mouth1mm. Consumers squeeze out toothpaste with the same length every morning, and the opening is enlarged by 1 mm, so if each consumer uses more toothpaste with the width of 1 mm, how much more will he consume every day! The company immediately changed the packaging. In 14, the company's turnover increased by 32%.

Story 1 1: Life is like tea.
? A frustrated young man came all the way to Forsykee, admired the old monk Shi Yuan, and said to him in dismay,' Life is always unsatisfactory, and living is meaningless.' Shi Yuan quietly listened to the young people's sighs and rambles. Finally, he ordered the young monk to say,' The benefactor has come a long way, so he can boil a pot of warm water and send it here.' The young monk leaned slightly, sent a pot of warm water, released the round moon, grabbed the tea leaves and put them in a cup, then soaked them in warm water and put them on the coffee table. He smiled and invited young people to drink tea. There is a slight steam coming out of the cup and the tea is floating quietly. The young man asked inexplicably,' How does Baosha use warm tea?' Shi Yuan smiled without a word. The young man took a sip of delicious food and shook his head: "There is no smell of tea at all." Shi Yuan said,' This is Tieguanyin, a famous tea in Fujian.' The young man picked up the cup and tasted it, then said with certainty,' It really doesn't taste like tea.' Shi Yuan said to the young monk, "Go and boil another pot of boiling water and bring it here." The young monk leaned slightly and came in with a pot of boiling water braving thick white steam. Shi Yuan got up, took another cup, put tea on it, poured boiling water on it and put it on the coffee table. The young man looked down and saw that the tea rose and fell in the cup, and the fragrance was endless. Young people want to end the cup, put a circle to block it, lift the kettle and inject a line of boiling water. The tea leaves have been stirred more severely, and a more mellow and intoxicating tea fragrance has spread in the meditation room. Ishihara poured water five times, and the cup was finally full. That cup of green tea smells fragrant in your hand, and it melts instantly in your mouth, which is refreshing. Shi Yuan said with a smile,' Do you know that both of them are Tieguanyin? Why do the teas taste different?' The young man thought about it and said,' A cup is made of warm water and a cup is made of boiled water. The water brewed is different. Shi Yuan nodded:' The ups and downs of tea are different with different water. Warm water makes tea, and the tea leaves float on the water. How can they smell? Boiling water to make tea, repeated several times, tea ups and downs, finally released the charm of the four seasons: both the quiet in spring and the fiery in summer, both the abundance in autumn and the coolness in winter.
Isn't it the ups and downs of tea to comment on all sentient beings in the world? People who have never experienced wind and rain, like tea soaked in warm water, only float on the surface of life and can't soak the fragrance of life at all; And those stormy, such as tea brewed in boiling water, have experienced ups and downs in the vicissitudes of life, and only then have that refreshing fragrance. If life is like tea, aren't we just a pinch of green tea of life? Isn't fate just a pot of warm water or boiling water? Because of the ups and downs of tea, it releases its own fragrance, and life, only after repeated setbacks and bumps, stimulates the fragrance of life.

Story 15: Flying Spider
A black spider made a big net between two eaves in the backyard. Can spiders fly? Otherwise, from this cornice to that cornice, there are more than ten feet wide in the middle. How is the first line pulled? Later, I found that the spider took a lot of detours-starting from a cornice, knotting, walking down the wall, climbing forward step by step, carefully raising its tail to prevent the spider silk from touching the sand or other objects on the ground, walking through the clearing, and then climbing the opposite cornice, the height is almost the same, and then tightening the spider silk, so it will be the same in the future. Spiders can't fly, but they can make webs in midair. It is a diligent, sensitive, silent and persevering insect, and its net is exquisitely and regularly woven, with the shape of Zhang Kaicheng gossip, as if with the help of God.
