An inspiring little story

Anyone who has been to the temple knows that as soon as he enters the temple gate, the first one is Amitabha, welcoming guests with a smiling face, and in the north of him, it is Darkmouth's black-faced Wei Tuo. But according to legend, a long time ago, they were not in the same temple, but in charge of different temples.

Buddha Miller is enthusiastic and happy, so many people come, but he doesn't care about anything, and his accounts are improperly managed, so he still can't make ends meet. Although Wei Tuo was a cook in charge of accounts, he was unhappy all day, which was too serious. He made fewer and fewer friends and finally died.

Buddha found this problem when he was looking for incense, so he put them in the same temple. Maitreya was in charge of public relations and greeted all the guests with smiles, so the incense was flourishing. And Wei Tuo is impartial, he will be better than others, so let him be in charge of finance and strictly control. In the division of labor and cooperation between the two people, the temple flourished.

In fact, in the eyes of the master of employing people, people without waste, like martial arts masters, can hurt people by picking flowers and flying leaves without expensive swords. The key is how to use them.

Second, parrots

A man went to buy a parrot and saw a sign in front of it: This parrot can speak two languages, 200 yuan.

In front of another parrot, it was written: This parrot can speak four languages, and the price is 400 yuan.

Which one should I buy? Both are shiny, very flexible and lovely. The man turned and couldn't make up his mind.

Suddenly I found a parrot with a tooth missing. Its coat color is dim and messy, and its price is 800 yuan.

The man quickly called the boss: Can this parrot speak eight languages?

The shopkeeper said, no.

This person is strange: then why is it so old, so ugly and so incompetent that it is worth this number?

The shopkeeper replied: because the other two parrots call this parrot boss.

This story tells us that a real leader is not necessarily strong in his own ability. As long as he knows how to trust, how to delegate and how to cherish, he can unite forces stronger than himself and thus enhance his value. On the contrary, many people with very strong abilities are too perfectionist and hands-on, and no one can match them. In the end, I can only be the best researcher and sales representative, but I can't be an excellent leader.

Third, kangaroos and cages

One day, the city zoo found that the kangaroo escaped from the cage, so it held a meeting to discuss and agreed that the height of the cage was too low. So they decided to raise the height of the cage from 10 meter to 20 meters. As a result, the next day they found that kangaroos were still running outside, so they decided to raise the height to 30 meters again.

I didn't expect to see all the kangaroos running outside the next day. The keeper was very nervous and decided to raise the height of the cage to 100 meters.

One day a giraffe was chatting with some kangaroos. "Do you think these people will continue to keep your cage?" Asked the giraffe. "It's hard to say." Kangaroo said, "If they continue to forget to close the door!" " "

Experience: There are "beginning and end", "importance" and "urgency". Closing the door is the end point, lifting the cage is the end point, and it certainly doesn't matter to give up the end point. What is management? Management is to analyze the main contradiction and secondary contradiction of things first, and understand the "background", "severity" and "urgency" of things clearly, and then start from important aspects.

Fourth, Bian Que's medical skills.

King Wen of Wei asked the famous doctor Bian Que, "Your three brothers are all good at medical skills. Which is the best? "

Bian Que replied: "The eldest brother is the best, the second brother is the second, and I am the worst."

King Wen asked again, "Then why are you the most famous?"

Bian Que replied, "My brother treated the disease before it started. Because most people don't know that he can eradicate the cause in advance, his fame can't spread; Brother Zhong treated the disease at the early stage. Most people think that he can only treat minor illnesses, so his reputation only extends to his own village. When my illness is serious, I will treat it. Most people have seen me perform major operations such as bloodletting on the meridians and applying medicine on the skin, so I think that my medical skills are brilliant and my reputation is spread all over the country. "

Experience: control after the event is not as good as control in the event, and control in the event is not as good as control in advance. Unfortunately, most business operators don't realize this and wait until the wrong decision has caused huge losses before seeking compensation. Often even if a well-known "airborne soldier" is invited, the result will not help.

Five, sudden pay.

A guest visited someone's house and saw that the chimney on the stove was straight and there was a lot of wood next to it. The guest told the host that the chimney had to be bent and the wood had to be removed, otherwise it might catch fire later, but the host didn't give any indication.

Soon, the owner's house caught fire, and the neighbors rushed to put out the fire. Finally, the fire was put out, so the owner cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle to entertain his neighbors and rewarded them for their contribution to the fire fighting, but he didn't invite anyone who suggested that he move the wood and change the chimney.

Someone said to the host, "if you had listened to that gentleman, you wouldn't have to prepare a banquet today, and there would be no fire damage." It is very strange now that the person who gave you advice is not grateful, but the person who put out the fire is a guest! " The host suddenly realized that he quickly invited the guest who had given the suggestion to have a drink.

Experience: Generally speaking, people who can settle or solve all kinds of thorny problems in the business process are excellent managers. In fact, this is debatable. As the saying goes, "prevention is more important than cure", preventing problems before they happen is better than treating chaos afterwards. From this perspective, the prevention of business problems is actually better than the solution of business problems.

Sixth, save lives.

In a fierce battle, the captain suddenly found an enemy plane swooping down to the position. As usual, don't hesitate to lie down when you find the enemy plane diving. But the captain didn't lie down at once. He found a little soldier still standing four or five meters away from him. He didn't think much, and a diving fly pressed the little soldier tightly under him. At this time, there was a loud noise, and the splashing soil fell on them. The captain patted the dust on his body and looked back, suddenly stunned: a big hole was blown out of his position just now.

Seven, go out

In ancient times, two brothers each took a suitcase to travel far away. Along the way, the heavy suitcase weighed down the brothers. When their left hand is tired, they have to change their right hand, and when their right hand is tired, they have to change their left hand. Suddenly, Big Brother stopped, bought a pole by the roadside, and hung two suitcases on the pole. He picked up two boxes and set off, but he felt much more relaxed.

It may be far-fetched to link these two stories together, but they do have striking similarities: the little soldier and little brother in the story are lucky, but the captain and little brother in the story are even luckier, because they help themselves while helping others!

Experience: On the road of our life, we will certainly encounter many difficulties. But don't we all know that on the way forward, moving stumbling blocks under others' feet is sometimes just paving the way for ourselves?

Eight, the fish king's son

There was a fisherman who was honored as the' king of fishing' because of his first-class fishing skills. But' Fishing King' is very upset when he is old, because his three sons have average fishing skills.

So a man often tells people his troubles: "I really don't understand, my fishing skills are so good, why is my son so bad?" From the time they were sensible, I taught them fishing skills, starting with the most basic things, telling them how to weave a net to catch fish most easily, how to row a boat without disturbing the fish most, and how to get off the net to invite the fish to the tank most easily. When they grow up, I will teach them how to know the tide and distinguish the fish season. . . I have taught them all the experience I have worked hard for many years, but their fishing skills can't catch up with the sons of fishermen whose skills are worse than mine! "

A passerby heard his story and asked, "Have you been teaching them by hand?"

"Yes, in order to give them first-class fishing skills, I taught them very carefully and patiently."

"Have they been following you?"

"Yes, I always let them follow me in order to make them avoid detours."

Passers-by said, "In this case, your mistake is obvious." You only taught them skills, not lessons. For talents, no lessons can make people great, just like no experience! "
