小故事大智慧1-7 Story by Master Lu 1-7
一个真实的故事,英国有一个孤寡老人,妻子儿女都走了,他一个人住在大的花园洋房中,无儿无女体弱多病,他决定搬到养老院去住,宣布出售他漂亮的住宅,当年的底价是八万英镑,最后这个房子炒到十万,老人满目忧郁,若不是因为健康问题他不会卖掉这座陪伴了自己大半生的房子。
有一个衣着朴素的年轻人来见老人,他很诚恳地弯下腰说:“老人家,我很想买这个房子,但是我只有一万英镑。如果你卖给我,我会让你继续住在这里,和我一起生活,天天喝茶、读报、散步,我会让你快快乐乐,相信我,我会用整个的心来照顾你。”老人家经过一番思考之后,含着微笑将房子 以一万英镑卖给了年轻人。
这个故事告诉我们,我们活在世界上想要完成梦想,不一定要拼个你死我活,也不需要去欺诈别人,有时候只要拥有一颗爱人的心就可以了。
想要完成梦想,只要拥有一颗爱人的心!
Story 7 A loving heart is what matters
There was a lonely old man in the United Kingdom whose wife and children were all gone. He lived alone in a large house with a garden. He was ill and frail. He decided to move to a nursing home and announced the sale of his beautiful house. The asking price was 80,000 pounds and the market value soon rose to 100,000 pounds. If it were not for health problems, he would not have sold the house that accompanied him for most of his life. He felt depressed.
A plain-dressed young man came to see the old man and bent down sincerely saying, “Dear Sir, I really want to buy this house, but I only have 10,000 pounds. If you sell it to me, I will let you live here with me, having tea, reading newspapers, taking a walk every day. I will keep you happy. Please believe me, I will take care of you with my whole heart.” After some thought, the old man sold the house to the young man with a smile for 10,000 pounds.
This story tells us that if we want to fulfill our dreams in the world, we don’t have to compete with each other, nor do we need to cheat others. As long as we have a loving heart, we will make our dreams come true.
