Two short stories shared by the most successful men in the world

1.Always tell yourself that you are working for yourself

There is an apple tree growing in a garden. The first year, it bore fruit to 10 apples. Nine of them were taken by others, leaving only one for itself. The tree got very upset. Therefore the next year, it refused to bear more fruit. Instead, it provided 5 apples of which 4 were taken by others again, leaving one for itself. The tree felt so happy,‘“Last year, I got only 10% of my apples. This year, I got 20% of them.“ Numbers wise, this year might seem better. But in the contrary, this is the better frame of mind: to be more productive despite the rewards. So if the tree only had 10 apples this year, it should aim to have 100 next year and 1,000 the next!Maybe it can have 10 for itself if it bore 100 apples .Actually it does’t matter if 90 or 999 of these apples are taken by others.The important thing is the tree itself grew.

In life, don’t always complain about your job and salary, which will more than likely make your colleagues dislike you. Remember that you work for yourself. Focus on improving yourself. If you do so, you will be much more successful than others after 3 years.

2.Focus on the original plan. Go on growing up!

Some children were playing around an old man’s house. It had been several days and the old man couldn't bear the noise any longer. One day, he came out and gave every child 25 cents and said, “I appreciate you for playing around here. I feel young again.” The children were so happy, they came back the next day. The old man came out again and gave every child 15 cents. He explained that he didn't have any income.The children accepted it .
But on the third day, the old man gave every child only 5 cents. The children were so angry, “Five cents is not worth much to us!” They swore that they will never play for the old man again.

People easily get distracted by many things in life. These distractions make them forget their original mission and objective. Do remember it and focus on it.
