Once, an old man got contradictory with his neighbor’s children, who would gather together and threw stones to his house. As to this, the old man thought of different kinds of ideas to stop them, including calling the police, telling their parents, shouting, threatening them and so on, however, these ideas didn’t work at all. On the contrary, children got more and more powerful to throw stones. After thinking for a long time, the old man decided to call up the children and said to them, “now I enjoy your throwing stones to my house gradually, so I am willing to pay for it. Then I will give a coin to each one in return.” Although children were confused with his promise, they accepted this negotiation happily. On one hand, children threw stones to the old man’s house every day. On the other hand, the old man paid for it every day. A few days later, the old man called up children and said to them, “I am sorry, but I can not give a coin to each one every day because of my recent shortage of money, so how about 5 cents a day?” Of course, the children were not satisfied with it, but they accepted it after all. Another few days passes, the old man said to the children again, “recently, I earn so little money that I can not afford to pay for it, but I am still willing to give a cent to every one.” Soon children exchanged their eyes and one of them broke the silence, “Of course we won’t do such a hard job for just a cent!” Since then, children left his house and never throw a stone. After reading this simple but story, I questioned: “why people were willing to throw stones when they didn’t gain a cent at all? And why they don’t do it when each one can earn 1cent?” At that moment, my teacher told us the secret: only if children regard their actions as their inner wishes, they will become more and more energetic. On the contrary, if they do things that are not out of their interest, they have no motivation. Finally, if you understand the truth of this deep story, maybe you will be fascinated with more information about stone on stonebtb.
