It was five O'clock in the evening and i had finished all my work. I Still need to wait for another three hour to knock off.I picked up a book that my senior had borrow from the library titled "wisdom for life" and began reading it.
The book is all written in Chinese,it is like a Chinese version of "chicken soup for the soul."
After I've reading the book, i begun telling stories to my two senior of what i had just read.i had manage to capture their attention and they are interested in the stories that i had told them.
I had manage to kill three hour of idle time in my workplace.
Story is a form of communication.A form of idea,view and inspiration.
Most charismatic leader uses story to spread their intended message.
Most great man uses story to inspire people.
Story telling give listener the same "addictive" feeling as listening to gossip of other people,the only different is the positive effect of the message in the story.Gossips, on the other hand had a negativity effect of pulling down other.
Everybody got a story to tell.It depend on how inspiring the story can get that lead people to remember it for a long time.Stories that is sad,negativity,sadist and full of blame only stay in the mind of people for short time.After all, everybody can complain,It is human nature
Stories that is uplifting is of a human spirit.
I used to tell a story of "Rocky Balboa" to a girl who is about to take her A level in a month's time.I told her the author of "rocky balboa"(in very brief summary) is a poor chap who dream big,His dream is to be a actor.He spent all his time trying to be an actor of his own script that he had wrote.When his cash had run out before he found his big chance,he decided to sell his favourite dog to an old man for cash to continue looking for it.(This author had a hard time to become an actor because of his speech and mouth problem)
Finally, he found big chance to act.This author offer the old man, who he sold his dog to,for a chance to play in his movie by giving him a role as a trainer.In return of his dog.
The girl was inspired by the story which I've told her.She worked hard for her A level, after she finished watching "Rocky Balboa" series....
