一个老板给了一个小孩90元,却得到了500万的回报 


一个老板的自述故事:

那是在15年前,我到这个城市出差,谈完生意,我去商场给同事买些礼物。平时,我逛商场时喜欢随身带一些硬币,因为商场附近有时会有乞讨的人,给上一两枚硬币我心里会踏实些。

这天也是这样,口袋里依旧有些硬币,于是我就将十几枚硬币散给一帮乞讨的小乞丐。就在这时,我看见一个男孩高举着一块牌子看着我,无疑,他想引起我的注意。我朝他走过去,看到他约摸十三四岁,衣着破旧却很干净,头发也梳得整齐。

他不像别人手里拿个搪瓷缸,他的牌子一面画着一个男孩在擦鞋,一面写着:“我想要一只擦鞋箱。” 那时我正在做投资生意,反正还有时间,我便问男孩需要多少钱,男孩说:“125元。” 我摇摇头,说他要的擦鞋箱太昂贵了。

男孩说不贵,还说他已经去过批发市场4次,都看过了,要买专用箱子、凳子、清洁油、软毛刷和十几种鞋油,没有125元就达不到他的要求。男孩操着方言,说得有板有眼。

我问他现在手里有多少钱,男孩想都没想,说已经有35元,还少90元。我认真看着男孩,确定他不是个小骗子,便掏出钱夹,拿出90元,说:“这90元钱给你,算是我的投资。有个条件,从你接过钱的这一刻起,我们就是合伙人了。

我在这个城市呆5天,5天内你不仅要把90元钱还给我,我还要1元钱的利息。如果你答应这条件,这90元现在就归你。” 男孩兴奋地看着我,满口答应。

男孩还告诉我,他读六年级,每星期只去上3天课,另外几天要放牛、放羊和帮母亲种地,可他的成绩从没有滑下过前三名,所以,他是最棒的。我问他为什么要买擦鞋箱,他说:“因为家里穷,我要趁着暑假出来,攒够学费。”

我以一种欣赏的眼光看着男孩,然后陪他去批发市场选购了擦鞋箱和其他各种擦鞋用具。男孩背着箱子,准备在商场门口摆下摊位。我摇摇头,说:“作为你的合伙人,为了收回自己的成本,有义务提醒你选择合适的经营地点。”

商场内部有免费擦鞋器,很多人都知道。男孩认真想了想,问:”选在对面的酒店怎么样?”我想:“这里是旅游城市,每天都有一车一车的人住进那家酒店,他们旅途劳顿,第二天出行时,肯定需要把鞋擦得干干净净。”想到这些,我就答应了他。

于是,男孩在酒店门口附近落脚了,他把擦鞋箱放到了离门口稍远的地方,他看看左右无人,对我说:“为什么不让我现在就付清1元钱利息?你也应该知道我的服务水平。”我“扑哧”一声笑了,这小家伙真是鬼得很,他是要给我擦鞋,用擦鞋的收费抵那1元的利息。

我欣赏他的精明,便坐到他的板凳上,说:“你要是擦得不好,就证明你在说谎,而我投资给一个不诚实的人,就证明我的投资失败。”男孩的头晃得像拨浪鼓,说他是最棒的,他在家里练习擦皮鞋练了一个月。

要知道,农村并没有多少人有几双好皮鞋,他是一家一家地让他们把皮鞋拿出来,细心地擦净擦亮的。 几分钟后,看着皮鞋光可鉴人,我满意地点头。我从口袋里拿出红笔,在他的左右脸颊上写下两个大字:“最棒。”男孩乐了。

正在这时,有一辆中巴车载着一车游客过来了,他连忙背着擦鞋箱跑过去,指着自己的脸对那些陆续下车的旅客说:“这是顾客对我的奖赏,你想试试吗?我会把你的皮鞋变成镜子的。”

就这样,男孩忙碌起来了…… 第二天,我来到酒店,看到男孩早早来守摊了,他兴奋地告诉我,他昨天赚到了50块钱,除去给我18元,吃饭花3元,他净剩29元。我拍拍他的头,夸他干得不错。他说昨晚没睡地道桥,而是睡了大通铺,但没交5块钱的铺位钱。

我疑惑了,怎么会不付床铺钱?这时,男孩得意地笑了:“我帮老板和老板娘擦了十来双鞋子,今晚我还能不用掏钱住店。” 5天过得很快,我要离开这个城市了,这5天里,男孩每天还18元,还够了90元。

男孩知道我在北京一家投资公司做经理,说是等他大学毕业,会去北京找我,说着他伸出小黑手,我也伸出了手,两只手紧紧握到一起…… 弹指一挥间,竟是15年。我离开了当初的投资公司,自己开了一家贸易公司。

这天,我正在办公室忙得焦头烂额,公司因为意外损失了一大批货物,周转资金面临困难,四方都在催债。刚放下电话,秘书进来了,说有个年轻人约我中午吃饭,我头也不抬地问是谁,秘书拿出一枚钥匙链,放到我桌上,看着这钥匙链,我愣住了,那上面有一个玻璃小熊,小熊的脑门上刻着三个字:“我最棒。”

我想起来了,这钥匙链,是15年前我和那个擦鞋少年临别握手时塞进他掌心的礼物。 到了中午,我走进酒店,预订好的座位上站起一个西装革履、英气逼人的年轻人。他含蓄地微笑,朝我微微弯一下腰。

从他脸上,我略微找到了当年擦鞋少年的影子。喝茶时,他拿出一张500万元的支票,说:“我想投资到你们公司,5年之内利润抵回。” 500万元,真是雪中送炭!年轻人笑吟吟地说:“15年前,你教会了我以按揭的方式生存。从那个擦鞋箱起,我完成了一次又一次的积累。

现在,我有了自己的公司,这500万元投进去,我有权利要求一笔额外利息。” 我抬起头,问他要多少,他不动声色地回答:“1元钱。”我靠到椅背上,脸上露出微笑。90元,回报500万元,这无疑是我投资生涯中最成功的案例。


成功不仅是您拥有多少,更重要的是您帮助他人多少!有多少人因您而感动因您而成长。

ten mins keep fit 270515

ten mins keep fit 270515

when i do no exercise my energy output of walking around the house is 50 and my intake of energy is 50

but when i do exercise my energy output is 100 but my energy intake is 200

a hundred steps after every meal is key for health and peace all round

meal-ten minutes walk-in office for 4 hours-meal-slim man

meal-over ten minutes exercise-hungry v soon-eat loads-pizzas fries and beers-too tired to do anything-rest-fat boy

let alone if you get injuries from exercise and you would be fat quicker

so exercise do us no good but generates large sums to pay dinners for medical industries


ten minutes walking roughly a hundred steps after every meal keeps you fit and healthy is all you need

if our intake of energy from food remains roughly the same everyday and our output of energy from exercise remains roughly the same everyday, our weight and health would remain roughly the same

there is a saturation point for everything

walking to toilet, walking around the house is exercise in itself to burn energy

walking ten minutes is to start off the burning energy turbo, if more than ten minutes walking would burn too much energy and you would feel hungry very soon, you will then eat again and be too tired to do any exercise and the vicious circle

why all other exercises cannot lose weight but gain weight?

because we feel hungry before and after exercise, our energy intake is several times double our normal not exercise times, our intake over the output

why i do no exercise and keeps our weight and health steady?

because when i do no exercise my energy output of walking around the house is 50 and my intake of energy is 50

but when i do exercise my energy output is 100 but my energy intake is 200

a hundred steps after every meal is key for health and peace all round.



Leaders

Leaders ten factors

十種領袖條件,你集齊了多少?

1、让人无法忍受的傲慢
2、受害者心态
3、超级控制狂
4、严重“红眼病”
5、撒谎精
6、消极兴趣散播者
7、贪得无厌
8、专业“评论员”
9、绯闻制造机
10、心理阴暗

這十類人,請成立自己的團隊:


1、让人无法忍受的傲慢

自信和傲慢之间是有着一道明显的分界线的。自信会让身边的人获得启发;而傲慢只会让身边的人感到反感甚至是害怕。傲慢的人有一个最大的特点,那就是他总觉得自己无所不知,而且在其他所有人面前都有一种莫名的优越感。而且当其他人展示出自信的时候,他从来不会为这个人感到高兴,因为别人的自信会影响到他的傲慢。

2、受害者心态

你身边最危险的人,就是那些受害者心态非常严重的人,那些总觉得自己受了委屈的人。当这些人自己出现了问题或是犯了错误的时候,他们总是会第一时间寻找替罪羊,责怪其他人。他们有的时候会埋怨老板不讲情理,有的时候还会埋怨父母没有给自己足够的爱。简单来说,这些人永远不知道自己才是生活的掌控者。

3、超级控制狂

控制狂们也总是觉得自己无所不知,而且觉得自己知道解决一切问题的最好的方式。其实这些人的内心往往都十分缺乏安全感,但是只要这些人在场,其他人永远没有机会提出自己的想法,也没有机会按照自己的方式去完成工作。

4、严重“红眼病”

这些被嫉妒心理操纵的人从来不会对自己已经拥有的东西感到满意,而当其他人有好事的时候,他们也从来不会为对方感到高兴。他们无法欣赏其他人的成就或是进步;他们总是觉得,如果有好事发生,那么这件事就必须要发生在他自己的身上。

5、撒谎精

世界上只要有人,就会有撒谎的人和他们的谎言存在。但是对一个创业团队来说,撒谎成性的人极其危险,因为你永远无法知道他哪句话是真的,所以你无法相信他和他所说的每一个字。当他与你谈论别人的时候,他会对你撒谎;当他和别人谈论你的时候,他一样会撒谎。有这样一个人在你的团队中,你的团队永远别想团结。

6、消极兴趣散播者

你的身边也许会有这样一个人,他对任何事情都感到不满、愤怒以及怀疑。总之他总是会产生消极的情绪。这种消极情绪会影响团队关系,更糟糕的是,这种情绪还会传染,呆在这样一个人身边,你会觉得他在吸走你的灵魂。慢慢的,团队中的所有人都会变的消极,到时候你的办公室就会变的像坟地一样死气沉沉。

7、贪得无厌

我们生长在一个强调成长和竞争的社会之中。尤其是作为创业者,我们总是想要更多,获得更多的成就,赚更多的钱。在一定的范围内,这种欲望和志向是一个好东西,它会让我们获得不断向前的动力。但是如果超过了这个范围,人就会变成让别人讨厌的贪得无厌的人。这种人什么都想要——属于自己的东西想要,不属于自己的东西更想要——到了这个阶段,占有欲就占据了这个人的内心,他们只是要占有,却不想为之努力。

8、专业“评论员”

评论别人和对别人品头论足是完全不同的两个概念。对别人进行评论,是基于客观事实和仔细的观察之上的。而品头论足则就是为了挑毛病。这种人总是时刻准备着跳出来对别人品评一番,而且他们很少会阐述事实,而是直接给出一个结论。他们不会聆听,也不懂沟通。

9、绯闻制造机

这些爱传闲话的人总是喜欢和别人谈论团队中的其他人,而且专说闲话。他们这样做的目的是为了隐藏自己内心的不安全感,让自己成为一个“受欢迎的人”。但是他们所说的闲话基本都只是自己的猜测,而并非来源于事实。流言蜚语是最让人感到恶心的东西之一,很少有其他东西能够超过它。

10、心理阴暗

这种人最可怕。当一个人的心理过于阴暗的时候,他什么事都干的出来。欺骗、说谎、利用别人、制造绯闻以及贪婪在这种人面前根本不值一提。如果这种人认为你是他的障碍,他就会在你后面偷偷尾随,试图除去你,而且他们什么手段都有可能用上。

creativity and mental illness wiki with thanks to creator

Creativity and mental illness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Numerous studies have demonstrated correlations between creative occupations and mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

History[edit]

The association between bipolar disorder and creativity first appeared in literature in the 1970s, but the idea of a link between "madness" and "genius" is much older, dating back at least to the time of Aristotle. The Ancient Greeks believed that creativity came from the gods, and in particular the Muses, the mythical personifications of the arts and sciences, and the nine daughters of Zeus, the king of the gods. The idea of a complete work of art emerging without conscious thought or effort was reinforced by the views of the Romantic era.[1][2] It has been proposed that there is a particular link between creativity and bipolar disorder, whereas major depressive disorder appears to be significantly more common among playwrights, novelists, biographers, and artists.[3]
Psychotic individuals are said to display a capacity to see the world in a novel and original way, literally, to see things that others cannot.[4]

Studies[edit]

A study by psychologist J. Philippe Rushton found creativity to correlate with intelligence and psychoticism.[5] Another study found creativity to be greater in schizotypal than in either normal or schizophrenic individuals. While divergent thinking was associated with bilateral activation of the prefrontal cortex, schizotypal individuals were found to have much greater activation of their right prefrontal cortex.[6] This study hypothesizes that such individuals are better at accessing both hemispheres, allowing them to make novel associations at a faster rate. In agreement with this hypothesis, ambidexterity is also associated with schizotypal and schizophrenic individuals. Three recent studies by Mark Batey and Adrian Furnham have demonstrated the relationships between schizotypal[7][8] and hypomanic personality [9] and several different measures of creativity.
Particularly strong links have been identified between creativity and mood disorders, particularly manic-depressive disorder (a.k.a. bipolar disorder) and depressive disorder (a.k.a. unipolar disorder). In Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic TemperamentKay Redfield Jamison summarizes studies of mood-disorder rates in writers, poets and artists. She also explores research that identifies mood disorders in such famous writers and artists as Ernest Hemingway (who shot himself after electroconvulsive treatment), Virginia Woolf (who drowned herself when she felt a depressive episode coming on), composer Robert Schumann (who died in a mental institution), and even the famed visual artist Michelangelo.
A study looking at 300,000 persons with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or unipolar depression, and their relatives, found overrepresentation in creative professions for those with bipolar disorder as well as for undiagnosed siblings of those with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. There was no overall overrepresentation, but overrepresentation for artistic occupations, among those diagnosed with schizophrenia. There was no association for those with unipolar depression or their relatives. [10]
Another study involving more than one million people, conducted by Swedish researchers at the Karolinska Institute, reported a number of correlations between creative occupations and mental illnesses. Writers had a higher risk of anxiety and bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, unipolar depression, and substance abuse, and were almost twice as likely as the general population to kill themselves. Dancers and photographers were also more likely to have bipolar disorder.[11]
However, as a group, those in the creative professions were no more likely to suffer from psychiatric disorders than other people, although they were more likely to have a close relative with a disorder, including anorexia and, to some extent, autism, the Journal of Psychiatric Research reports.[11]
Research in this area is usually constrained to cross-section data-sets. One of the few exceptions is an economic study of the well-being and creative output of three famous music composers over their entire lifetime.[12] The emotional indicators are obtained from letters written by Wolfgang Amadeus MozartLudwig van Beethoven and Franz Liszt, and the results indicate that negative emotions had a causal impact on the creative production of the artists studied.
According to psychologist Robert Epstein, creativity can be obstructed through stress.[13]

Positive mood[edit]

Mood-creativity research reveals that people are most creative when they are in a positive mood[14][15] and that mental illnesses such as depression or schizophrenia actually decrease creativity.[16][17] People who have worked in the field of arts throughout the history have had problems with poverty, persecution, social alienationpsychological traumasubstance abuse, high stress [18] and other such environmental factors which are associated with developing and perhaps causing mental illness. It is thus likely that when creativity itself is associated with positive moods, happiness, and mental health, pursuing a career in the arts may bring problems with stressful environment and income. Other factors such as the centuries-old stereotype of the suffering of a "mad artist" help to fuel the link by putting expectations on how an artist should act, or possibly making the field more attractive to those with mental illness.

Bipolar disorder[edit]

There is a range of types of bipolar disorder. Individuals with Bipolar I Disorder experience severe episodes of mania and depression with periods of wellness between episodes. The severity of the manic episodes can mean that the person is seriously disabled and unable to express the heightened perceptions and flight of thoughts and ideas in a practical way. Individuals with Bipolar II Disorder experience milder periods of hypomania during which the flight of ideas, faster thought processes and ability to take in more information can be converted to art, poetry or design.[19]

Psychopathology[edit]

Many famous historical figures gifted with creative talents may have been affected by bipolar disorder. Ludwig van BeethovenVirginia WoolfErnest HemingwayIsaac NewtonJudy Garland and Robert Schumann are some people whose lives have been researched to discover signs of mood disorder.[20] In many instances, creativity and psychopathology share some common traits, such as a tendency for "thinking outside the box," flights of ideas, speeding up of thoughts and heightened perception of visual, auditory and somatic stimuli.

Emotions[edit]

Many people with bipolar disorder may feel powerful emotions during both depressive and manic phases, potentially aiding in creativity.[21] Because (hypo)mania decreases social inhibition, performers are often daring and bold. As a consequence, creators commonly exhibit characteristics often associated with mental illness. The frequency and intensity of these symptoms appear to vary according to the magnitude and domain of creative achievement. At the same time, these symptoms are not equivalent to the full-blown psychopathology of a clinical manic episode which, by definition, entails significant impairment.[1]

Posthumous diagnosis[edit]

Some creative people have been posthumously diagnosed as suffering from bipolar or unipolar disorder based on biographies, letters, correspondence, contemporaneous accounts, or other anecdotal material, most notably in Kay Redfield Jamison's book Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament.[22] Touched With Fire presents the argument that bipolar disorder, and affective disorders more generally,[23] may be found in a disproportionate number of people in creative professions such as actorsartistscomediansmusiciansauthorsperformers and poets.

Positive correlation[edit]

Several recent clinical studies have also suggested that there is a positive correlation between creativity and bipolar disorder, although the relationship between the two is unclear.[24][25][26] Temperament may be an intervening variable.[25]

Other studies[edit]

A 2005 study at the Stanford University School of Medicine measured creativity by showing children figures of varying complexity and symmetry and asking whether they like or dislike them. The study showed for the first time that a sample of children who either have or are at high risk for bipolar disorder tend to dislike simple or symmetric symbols more. Children with bipolar parents who were not bipolar themselves also scored higher dislike scores.[27]

Modern cultural viewpoints[edit]

The 2012 book Tortured Artists, by the American arts journalist Christopher Zara, shows the universal nature of the tortured artist stereotype and how it applies to all of the creative disciplines, including film, theater, literature, music, and visual art. The artists profiled in the book have made major contributions to their respective mediums (Charles SchulzCharlie Parker,Lenny BruceMichelangeloMadonnaAndy WarholAmy Winehouse, and dozens of others). In each case, the author attempts to make a connection between the art and the artist's personal suffering.[28]

Notable individuals[edit]

James Joyce had a daughter with schizophrenia and had many schizotypal traits. Albert Einstein had a son with schizophrenia and was also somewhat schizotypal and eccentric.[4] Bertrand Russell had many family members with schizophrenia or psychosis: his aunt, uncle, son and grand-daughter.[4] Winston ChurchillVincent van Gogh and Edgar Allan Poe are believed to have had bipolar disorder.[citation needed]
Joanne Greenberg's novel I Never Promised You a Rose Garden is an autobiographical account of her teenage years in Chestnut Lodge working with Dr. Frieda Fromm-Reichmann. At the time she was diagnosed with schizophrenia, although two psychiatrists who examined Greenberg's self-description in the book in 1981 concluded that she was not schizophrenic, but had extreme depression and somatization disorder.[29] The narrative constantly puts difference between the protagonist's mental illness and her artistic ability. Greenberg is adamant that her creative skills flourished in spite of, not because of, her condition.[30]
Lizz Brady is a contemporary artist who has made work about her experiences with borderline personality disorder and is curator of the exhibition Broken Grey Wires that examines the relationship between contemporary art and mental health.[31]
