Professor Tsang is a well-known management scholar, educator and advocate of Chinese culture. He has in-depth research and rich practical experience in many fields. In his life experience, he has deeply thought about the relationship between siblings and summed up some valuable experiences and lessons.
In Professor Tsang's view, the relationship between siblings is a very special one. This relationship is not only a blood relationship, but also a relationship of companionship and mutual support in the process of growing up. However, as one gets older, one will gradually discover that the relationship between siblings is not unassailable. Sometimes, seemingly trivial things can have a profound impact on the relationship.
Professor Tsang Shiqiang has emphasized on many occasions that no matter how good the relationship between siblings is, do not easily provide the following two helps, otherwise they may become enemies.
1. Don't get involved in conflicts between siblings.
It is inevitable that there are often some complex contradictions and disputes between siblings. However, as relatives or friends, we should not get too involved in these contradictions and disputes. While we may think we're helping them solve their problems, it can actually backfire.
First, our involvement may complicate the conflict between siblings. Sometimes, they may have more disagreements and controversies because of our involvement, leading to escalation of conflicts. Second, our involvement may create more misunderstanding and mistrust between siblings. Sometimes, they may think that we are taking sides or that we are doing something behind our backs, which can lead to a deterioration in the relationship.
Therefore, as relatives or friends, we should try to avoid getting too involved in conflicts and disputes between siblings. If they reach out to us for help, we can give some pertinent advice and support, but we shouldn't get too involved. Only by letting them solve their own problems can they better maintain their relationship.
2. Don't make irresponsible remarks behind your back.
There is often some comparison and competition between siblings. Sometimes, this competitive relationship can lead to something unpleasant happening. However, as relatives or friends, we should not talk behind our backs about their actions and practices.
First of all, talking behind your back can hurt the feelings between siblings. This behavior may make them feel betrayed or hurt, which can lead to a deterioration in the relationship. Secondly, talking behind our backs may affect our credibility and image. If we talk about others behind our backs, they may think that we are a puppet and will not want to associate with us.
Therefore, we should refrain from talking behind our backs about the behavior and practices of our siblings. If we have an opinion or suggestion about their behavior, we can communicate directly with them and express our thoughts and opinions. Only in this way can we better maintain our relationship and at the same time better promote harmony and solidarity between brothers and sisters.
The relationship between siblings is a very special relationship that needs to be maintained with our hearts. However, there are also some issues that we need to be aware of in the process of maintaining this relationship. We should not get too involved in the conflicts and disputes between siblings, nor should we talk about their actions and practices behind our backs. Only in this way can we better maintain our relationship and at the same time better promote harmony and solidarity between brothers and sisters.
