Father brought a brand new white towel and wiped it lightly on the tabletop, and the white towel was immediately dirty and harsh. The father pointed to the table and said: "My son, wiping the table is a very simple job. But you can't even wipe the table clean, what else can you do well, what makes you a boss" Klok was ashamed.
Klocke returned to the fast food restaurant, he remembered his father's teachings, each time to wipe the table to prepare five towels, in order to wipe s times, and each time to wipe in the same direction, in order not to let the towel repeated contamination of the table.
Eventually, Crocker was appreciated by his boss to stay and took over that fast-food restaurant as the owner. 10 years later, he founded his own - McDonald's.
Story about labor 2:
There was a small toilet outside the courtyard where Mao Zedong lived. It used to be cleaned by the comrades of the guard squad, but for many days in a row the toilet was always cleaned before the soldiers went there. The soldiers were puzzled.
One morning after a heavy snowfall, the soldiers got up early to sweep the snow. When the head of the guard squad was about to sweep the snow near the latrine, he found that the snow outside the latrine had been cleaned up long ago. "Who cleaned it," everyone estimated, but could not guess for a moment.
Suddenly, the squad leader heard someone talking in the toilet: "You go to the stove and pull out some ash, pick it up with a basket and sprinkle it into the toilet." What a familiar voice, the squad leader immediately heard that this was the conversation between Comrade Mao Zedong and Xiao Shanying.
Originally, Comrade Mao Zedong had come to clean the toilet with Shanying in order to cultivate his good habit of loving labor from a young age. From then on, the guards and soldiers could often see a little boy cleaning the toilets, with few interruptions.
Story of Labor 3: The Monkey Who Loved Labor
A little monkey planted a peach tree in front of his house, expecting to eat sweet peaches in the summer.
The tree grew bigger and bigger every day. One day, the tree was bent over by the wind. The tree said in pain, "Monkey, help me, I'm going to be blown over by the wind!" When the monkey heard this, he made a support for the tree. The tree finally stood firm in the wind, and said gratefully to the monkey, "Thank you, monkey!"
After some time, the peach tree grew moths again, and the little monkey immediately caught all the moths on the tree again. After a long wait, the summer came, and fresh peaches grew on the peach tree for the little monkey to eat.
Story about Labor 4: Mao Zedong Learned to Make Straw Shoes
After the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Mao Zedong took his team up to Jinggang Mountain. Due to the blockade by the Kuomintang reactionaries, life in Jinggangshan was very difficult. To cope with the difficulties, Mao Zedong issued a call to the Red Army commanders: no food, we plant; no vegetables, we plant; no cloth, we weave; no shoes, we weave ourselves!
One day, Mao Zedong saw a gray-haired old man sitting in front of a small hut halfway up the hill. As he approached, the old man was making straw shoes. Mao Zedong happily walked up and said with a smile, "Old man, I've come to worship you as my teacher!" Mao Zedong sat down and carefully learned from the old man how to make straw sandals, memorizing every step and movement in his heart.
In a short while, a straw shoe was finished. Mao Zedong learned to make straw sandals, and then taught the soldiers one by one, setting a good example of hard work and frugality. If you are young and not industrious, your old age will be grueling; if you are young and able to serve your old age, your old age will be comfortable.
Story about labor 5: Bai Qun made "Lugou Bridge"
January 1938, Bai Qun came to China, immediately rushed to the front line of the anti-Japanese field hospital. At that time, the fighting was fierce, the conditions were tough, and the front-line hospitals lacked a superb supply of medicines and medical equipment.
Deep in the night, Bai Qiu'en again crouched on his simple worktable and thought repeatedly: the medical team's excessive medicines and surgical instruments have to be carried by animals. How to make the bottles of medicine will not be crashed or knocked over? He stayed up several nights for this, and finally drew a sketch, which was made by the people of He Gong.
Paik said with a smile, "A field doctor, should learn the gains of carpentry and blacksmithing, in order to improve the medical equipment according to the needs of the wounded." Soon, a special simple medicine shelf was made, which Bai Kou'en wryly called "Lugou Bridge" because it was shaped like a bridge.
The joy of life can be nurtured only in the satisfaction of smelling the medicine of labor.
