Archimedes once said, "Give me a fulcrum, and I will pry up the earth." ”Many times, we have to do something, not because we lack strength and wisdom, but because we lack an assistant. Like Archimedes, a fulcrum is missing.
There is a saying that one punch is hard to beat four hands. No matter how strong your strength is, you can't figure out everything in any area after all.
Therefore, a truly smart person will never fight alone, and can make use of the word "borrow" to the extreme, with the help of nobles, to complete his career.
Work: Learn to borrow strength, to wait for work.
Xunzi tells such a thing: Qi Huan Gong is in his own home, lives a very luxurious life, and likes to go around, but he has become the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. After careful analysis, people found that he had no special ability, and just handed over all political affairs to Guan Zhong.
Some people say: "Those who win talents win the world, and those who win the hearts of the people win talents." ”In the workplace, many people think that doing it yourself is ability, which is worthy of everyone's praise. In fact, this is not the case, if in a large unit, if the boss is used to doing it himself, then he will live a very tired life, and there is no way to accomplish many things.
With the help of the power of his subordinates, he won over the people around him, forming a situation where everyone was collecting firewood, and as a boss, he could wait for work.
There is a saying that there are no weak soldiers under a strong general. When the boss is strong, actively pass on the work experience to the subordinates, then the team will be strong; If you are an ordinary worker, you can also take the initiative to show favor to the people around you and win over everyone to overcome difficulties at work together.
Make money: Learn to borrow money and increase your capital.
"The Book of Songs, Zhaonan, Magpie's Nest" wrote: "Wei Magpie has a nest; Vidove dwells there. ”For the dove occupying the magpie's nest, we feel that the "dove" is very disgraceful. If a person has worked hard to build a house, but someone else lives in it, this is a lack of morality.
In fact, the phenomena of nature can give us a lot of inspiration. You can't take other people's things, but you can use them by borrowing or renting.
For example, in rural areas, some people borrow chickens to lay eggs, and borrow eggs to lay chickens. A poor man borrowed a hen from a rich man, and after a few months, the hen hatched the chicks and returned the hen.
If you just rely on yourself to slowly accumulate funds, I am afraid that there will be no improvement in ten or eight years, and you will even miss opportunities. It's hard to borrow money, but it's not hard if you're trustworthy.
Hu Xueyan, a wealthy man in the Qing Dynasty, borrowed money from foreign merchant Smith several times and returned it early, so he gained trust. Later, you can borrow money and exchange money at any time. Its practice is worth learning from.
Emotion: Learn to borrow affection, affection is sincere.
Ordinary people regard feelings as feelings; Smart people use feelings as "emotional cards".
I have seen such a story: When Hu Xueyan went to Xiaoshan, because the ferry was very crowded, he accidentally knocked over a basket of eggs in a child's hand. After doing the math, these eggs are worth six cents.
Hu Xueyan touched his pocket and found that he had no change. Yu Xiaomao, a beggar next to him, took the initiative to help pay in advance.
After a few years, Yu Xiaomao borrowed this love and asked Hu Xueyan to fund and build a big ferry to solve the problem of difficult travel.
The relationship between people is not innate, no matter how good the fate is, it needs to be cherished in order to become strong. Therefore, people who are in love chat every day and play ** anytime and anywhere; Between parents and children, they will always be concerned and silently concerned; socialize with friends, often drink and party; Relatives will also get together during the New Year's holidays.
More interaction can not only make fate last, but also use emotions to do anything. If everyone's character is good, then borrowing and borrowing, the emotion will be stronger.
Problem solving: Learn to borrow wisdom to solve difficult problems.
When writing an article, there is a technique called "quoting". That is, to put the beautiful sentences learned by others in your own articles and play the role of the finishing touch.
When confronting others, you can use the experience of the ancients to increase your chances of winning, and you can also use external forces to increase your own strength.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Picheng. Lu Bu, who was defending the city, resisted desperately. The two armies faced each other, and there was no end for several months, and they were all tired.
Cao Cao arranged for his soldiers to build a ditch outside the city and bring Surabaya to it. When the water slowly poured into Picheng, Lü Bu climbed the tower and shouted, "I surrender." ”
When we encounter problems, we can use the past for the present, the foreign for China, and even find wisdom from natural phenomena. Those who lead troops to fight will read military books and look for advisers; Those who do business will learn the business scriptures; The teacher reads while teaching. If you don't have enough wisdom, then learn to borrow wisdom, and you can't always rely on yourself to ponder and comprehend.
Fame: Learn to borrow fame and improve yourself.
There is such a story in "Confucius's Family Sayings": The tomb of Lu Zhaogong is in the south of the cemetery of the first king of Lu State, which seems to be "a single family". Confucius asked someone to dig a ditch and change the layout of the entire cemetery, so that the tomb of Lu Zhaogong and the tomb of the former king were integrated.
Confucius said: "Lu Zhaogong's life was not very successful, but it makes no sense for him to be buried alone after his death." If he is included in the sequence of the previous kings, he will not be burdened with too many crimes. ”
A person who is not very successful, standing in the ranks of successful people, will also be infected and respected.
We all hate the term "fox fake tiger", but we have to admit that the fox can not only protect itself at a critical time, but also achieve its own fame.
There is a good saying: "The reason why I succeed is not that I have the ability, but that I stand on the shoulders of giants." ”
This "giant" can be a person in society, a person from ancient and modern times, and a person from China and abroad, as well as someone else's wisdom, fame, economic strength, etc.
Cao Xueqin said: "With the strength of the good wind, send me to the clouds." ”
If you want to make a big difference, you must learn the wisdom of "borrowing", and don't do anything, you are all a person who dies.
Of course, when "borrowing", we should pay attention to one principle - there is borrowing and repaying, and it is not difficult to borrow again.
May you, take advantage of the momentum, unstoppable.
