There have been two theories about "taking advantage". One is "it is a fool not to take advantage of it", and the other is to "take advantage of a small advantage and suffer a big loss". Should you take advantage of others? As the saying goes, small things see the pattern, and details see the character. Taking advantage of others, in a sense, is actually an act of getting something for nothing. It may seem small, but it can reflect a person's character and pattern. And all of these will ultimately affect a person's future outlet. If you want to live better and climb higher, you should never take advantage of others. 
Some time ago, a ** became popular on the Internet. A woman who was riding her bicycle past a free water pick-up point for workers in the hot industry saw that it was unattended, so she kept filling her basket with mineral water from the freezer until the basket was full. A few hours later, she returned, this time even more excessively, carrying a big red bag for mineral water. A man couldn't look at it, stepped forward to stop her, didn't think about it, but she said, isn't this free? Some netizens said that looking at the woman's dress, it doesn't look like she was forced by life, and her family's faces have been lost by her. Some netizens also said that this kind of person is used to being selfish, and he never cares about others, only himself in his eyes. Perhaps, as most people say, she just wants to take advantage. In life, it is not uncommon for people to take advantage of themselves, they are "careful in their calculations", for fear that they will not be able to take advantage. They are not necessarily financially poor, the core reason is actually "poor heart". People with poor hearts are short-sighted and unable to see the long term, so that they are often blinded by the small profits in front of them. I was complacent when I took advantage of it, thinking that I had earned it, but in the end, I picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon. Teacher Ma Weidu once told a story about his nanny on the show. The nanny is diligent and careful, Ma Weidu is very satisfied with her, and wants to hire her for a long time with a high salary. However, it didn't take long for Ma Weidu to find out that the nanny often secretly took away some small things at home, such as garlic, ginger, leftovers, leftovers, etc. Because it wasn't a valuable thing, Ma Weidu didn't care too much, he told the nanny that if there was anything he needed, he could tell him. However, the nanny repeatedly taught her, and there was no way, so Ma Weidu had no choice but to dismiss her. It is said that the body is poor for a while, and the heart is poor for a lifetime. If a person always wants to take advantage of others, then it will be difficult for him to have a good way out in this life. Because of his inner scarcity, he can only continue to ask for it outwardly, and get inner satisfaction from "taking advantage" again and again. This kind of satisfaction violates his morality as a human being, and it also makes him lose the trust and respect of others. After all, no one likes someone who loves to take advantage. The most important thing in life is to keep looking inward. When the heart becomes abundant enough, life will not be lost in "cheapness" again and again. 
Writer Liu Zhenyun once said:
Never try to take advantage of others, people are actually about the same level of intelligence. Every time you take advantage of someone else, others will know, but they don't say it. What's more, you have gotten mixed up to the point of taking advantage of others, which can only show that your ability is not generally inferior.Perhaps, it is because of lack of ability that I always want to gain benefits by taking advantage of others. However, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and there is a price to be paid for taking advantage of it. After all, if you don't rely on your own ability, you will naturally lose it because you don't have the strength. There is even the possibility of making yourself pay back in a more expensive way. In Mo Yan's "Late Bloomer", there is such a character, his name is Jiang Er, who is Mo Yan's hair. Decades ago, Jiang Er's brain had a little problem, and the people in the village regarded him as a fool. But in fact, he is not stupid, and even takes advantage of all kinds of advantages by pretending to be crazy and selling stupid, and he has not paid a penny before he is exempted from agricultural taxes and retention at all levels. Now, he has made a fortune by taking the opportunity of Mo Yan's award. He first set up a stall next to Mo Yan's former residence, selling Mo Yan's books, and then selling local specialties. Moreover, he also bought a depression full of garbage in the west of Mo Yan's former residence at a low price, and quickly built a house, built dozens of stalls, and collected tens of thousands of rents every year. obviously took advantage of Mo Yan, but he still said smugly: "The big brothers all say that I am pretending to be stupid, but in fact, I am not pretending to be stupid, our old Jiang family has a characteristic, that is, 'late maturity'!" Mo Yan didn't say much about this, just begged him not to sell his pirated books. Later, Jiang Er's industry was banned by the relevant departments because of "illegal land use", and he paid the due price for it. In just an instant, his scenery was gone, and he became extremely depressed. "Caigen Tan" wrote:"Don't ask for undivided blessings, don't be greedy for gratuitous gains. ”It means not to enjoy blessings that are not your own, and not to be greedy for what you do not work for. Relying on taking advantage of others to feed oneself is not only one's own character, but also one's own blessings. You must know that people's blessings are cultivated by their own abilities. Therefore, if you want to make yourself invincible, the only way to manage yourself well is the last word.
At Huawei, Ren Zhengfei has set such a set of principles, that is, do not do anything that "takes advantage". In his opinion, taking advantage of others to do things must be opportunistic, and an opportunity-oriented businessman cannot have his own business. Every day I think about "taking advantage" and how to develop a strategy, so Huawei only does things according to its own strategy. That's what Ren Zhengfei said, and that's what he did. In the early days of Huawei's founding, the company's management model was very backward, with problems such as weak departmental coordination, slow response to customer demands, and low work efficiency. So, Ren Zhengfei decided to go abroad to find a "teacher" to learn modern management experience. He went to the United States several times, inspected several large companies, and finally finalized IBM, but the management consulting ** given by IBM was as high as billions of yuan. A vice president thinks that ** is too expensive, equivalent to Huawei's profit for more than a year, and he wants to bargain with the other party. Ren Zhengfei asked him rhetorically: "You cut the price, can you be responsible for the risk of the project?" Ren Zhengfei felt that since the other party gave the best qualifications, it was necessary to ensure the quality of the project. And facts have also proved that Ren Zhengfei's "not taking advantage" approach has made Huawei gain great benefits. As Ren Zhengfei said:
IBM is Huawei's teacher, although we paid IBM expensive consulting fees, IBM taught us how to climb trees, we climbed to the trees and picked apples, and that's where the teachers played.Too often, we habitually equate "taking advantage" with "being smart". But no matter how shrewd the person who takes advantage is, he can only take advantage of it for a while, and in the end, he may even be smart but mistaken by cleverness. On the contrary, "not taking advantage" is not the same as "suffering a loss", because not taking advantage is just not gaining, and there is no loss at all. What's more, not taking advantage of it is a very good character in itself, and it is the rejection of desire in the heart, so to speak, it is also a kind of general pattern of dealing with the world. People with this pattern have a long-term vision, clear goals, and reliable actions, and will not be opportunistic, let alone for the purpose of grabbing profits. Naturally, it is easier to gain the trust of others. And life, how can you treat such a person badly!
There is a saying that is particularly good: "The wind rises at the end of the green ping, and the waves become between the waves." "Never think that taking advantage of something is nothing, have a fluke mentality, and in the end you will lose your character because of luck. Therefore, whether it is being a person or doing things, we must learn to manage our words and deeds, have our own principles, and have our own determination. At the same time, we must also believe in the truth that there is never anything in this world that is not earned for nothing, and it is impossible to take advantage of nothing. On the road of life in the future, I hope that each of us can do things in a down-to-earth manner, be a man in our duty, not take advantage, and not be greedy for small profits. What you want, you rely on your own ability to fight for it!
