借锤子的故事。有一个人想挂一张画。他有钉子，但没有锤子。邻居有锤子。于是他决定到邻居那儿去借锤子。就在这时候他起了疑心：要是邻居不愿意把锤子借我，那怎么办？昨天他对我只是漫不经心地打招呼，也许他匆匆忙忙，也许这种匆忙是他装出来的，其实他内心对我是非常不满的。什么事不满呢？我又没有做对不起他的事，是他自己在多心罢了。要是有人向我借工具，我立刻就借给他。而他为什么会不借呢？怎么能拒绝帮别人这么点儿忙呢？而他还自以为我依赖他，仅仅因为他有一个锤子！我受够了。于是他迅速跑过去，按响门铃。邻居开门了，还没来得及说声早安，这个人就冲着他喊道：留着你的锤子给自己用吧，你这个恶棍！哲理启示：消极的思想造成错误的行为，积极的心态可以避免一切不必要的麻烦和错误。
