A biological research group in Hokkaido, Japan, conducted an experiment.
Carefully staring at the ant colony, I found that most of the ants are diligent, carrying food and looking for food; A handful of ants are lounging, or standing stillBecome a "lazy ant".
When the ant colony ran out of food, the industrious ants were at a loss, but the lazy ants led everyone to find food calmly.
It turns out that the lazy ant is not idle, but observes and analyzes the environment, acting as a scout and vanguard.
This is the lazy ant effect.
As a person born in the 70s, he will be forty or fifty years old in a flash, and he should know the destiny of heaven.
How should you spend the rest of your life? You should think about it, and leave the way back.
Many people were born in the countryside, and then went out to work, start a business, buy a house in the city, and their lives have reached the peak step by step. Of course, it's always been busy.According to the law that life is a "parabola", after the age of fifty, it is downhill. Smart people will find ways to find stability instead of keeping themselves busy all their lives. The human heart will be tired, and the body will be unbearable.
If there is anything else to achieve in life, it is to "seek progress in stability", rather than "advance bravely".
In terms of age, family, life, career, etc., we must use the "lazy ant effect" to cope with all changes with the same and let the rest of our lives be stable. Don't lose the fruits of your hard work in the first half of your life because you are too diligent.
First, be "lazy" at work and let young people go.
Think about it, when we were children, we would go to chop wood, pick wild fruits, pick zongzi leaves and litsea cubeba, etc., and we would often climb to the top of the mountain, or even climb over the mountain pass.
Our parents often told us that as long as we are hard-working, we can support ourselves even if we are farming.
When we walked to the factory, there was no chance to stop on the assembly line. It's just to open your own store, and you can't wait to be busy all the time, so that you can earn more.
Some people, in order to open a shop and make money, get up at three or four o'clock in the morning, and don't finish work at ten o'clock at night.
I'm really happy that I'm finally at the top of my career. If you think about it, you can stay here for a long time.
Especially in the workplace, according to the law of "seniority", they also have a better position and more income.
Don't be complacent, you must know the law of "the extreme of things must be opposed". When our work and income are at the top, we will definitely go down. In the future, our position should be given to young people, and high-income opportunities should also be given up.
In view of the phenomenon of "giving way", you should take the initiative and be willing to give young people the opportunity to show their talents.
In the "Lazy Ant Effect", there is the idea that 20% of lazy ants instruct 80% of industrious ants. After passing the competition, the ants are qualified to be "lazy".There is a 28 law in making money and division of labor in the workplace. The higher the person, the more relaxed he is, the more comfortable he is at work, and he can teach everyone how to do it.
Mencius said, "Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people." ”
Take the initiative to give way, in this way, there is a transition period in the workplace, you still have a lot of time, within 20% - there will be a lot of young people to follow you to learn from the experience, and your work pressure will naturally be less. When you're sixty years old, you've finished teaching your skills and you've received more accolades, which can be called an "honorable retirement."
Second, be "lazy" in the family, be a good commander, and keep your children busy.
I have worked hard all my life, not for the sake of my children's better lives. I believe that many post-70s people choose to settle in cities for the sake of their children's education; For the sake of the fate of the family, he worked hard to leave his savings and create a career.
But how long do we have to be busy before we can enjoy the blessings of "filial piety to our children"? When will we be able to truly feel at ease with our children in charge of the house?
There is a good saying: "If you want a happy family, you must raise your son as a man." ”If parents have done everything, what should children do? Of course, they can only "sit back and enjoy it".
The terrible thing is that some children, when they get married, find that their parents bought the "so-called wedding house" many years ago, and they are very unhappy in their hearts. Because their children like big cities, their parents arrange for them to live in small counties.
There are also some children who are too lazy to work when they know that their parents have tens of millions of savings. Reaching out for money every day. If your parents don't give it, they say, "If you don't give me so much money, who else will you leave it to?" ”
If in a family, the parents are so tired that they can't straighten up, and the children become lazy ants, there is no hope for the family.When our children have the ability and the ability to be a commander, we will be six or seven years old, and then we will be even lazier and can "live for the rest of our lives."Therefore, we should become lazy ants and keep our children busy. Tell your children about your life experiences and be good commanders.
Third, the desire in life to be "lazy" and allow oneself to become imperfect.
The "lazy ant effect" tells us that we must always see the weak links in the organization, so that a group of ants can survive in the most difficult times.For an ant colony to get better, it is necessary to keep exploring and finding new food.
The above point is similar to our life - life is not destined to be perfect, but we can always pursue perfection and focus on innovation.
Walking on the road of pursuing perfection, life is considered a success.
When we were young, we wanted to be astronauts, scientists, etc., but when we became adults, it wasn't like that, we were just workers, little parents. There is a big gap between aspirations and reality.
When making money, we all want to look like a local tyrant, but we just get rid of poverty, and there is no possibility of "spending money casually".
When we meet someone we can't love, we think it's true love, but we have to let go. When I think about it, it seems that my heart aches faintly. There is too much helplessness in love.
Accept the imperfections of life, and be too lazy to think about those things that are "destined not to be obtained", and you will be relieved.
Seeing the flaws in life and perceiving the loopholes in the family is actually a kind of "be prepared for danger in times of peace" attitude towards life. Always find a way not to let the loopholes and shortcomings expand, and slowly make up for them, so that you have a happy state of life.
For example, when you were a child, you wanted to be a scientist, and when you became very leisurely in the second half of your life, you could make some inventions and create things, and change the same farm tools, furniture, and daily necessities, which can be regarded as a dream come true.
The "laziness" of life is actually a change of lifestyle, not lying still.
After 70, what should we do if we want to be lazy ants?
First, according to age, know what you should do, don't toss blindly, and pay more attention to physical and mental rest.
Second, according to the family situation, improve the efficiency of the housekeeper and lock in the goal of family development.
Third, according to the laws of the workplace, let yourself retreat slowly, and don't show off your might.
Fourth, arrange life according to needs, reduce allocation for life, and reduce consumption.
After 70, we are busy enough in the first half of our lives, and we should be idle in the second half of our lives.
If you cultivate your body well, you will have no internal friction spiritually, and you will do a good job in the handover of life, which is another wealth.
