What inspirational stories in Historical Records can also be used in the workplace?

Historical Records is the first biographical general history in the history of China. It is praised by Lu Xun as "the swan song of historians, and the poem without rhyme leaves Sao", which has high literary value. But many people didn't read Historical Records carefully, ignoring many wonderful contents. I don't know if you have noticed that there are many inspirational figures and events in the historical records, which have influenced many people who struggle in the workplace. I listed five typical inspirational representatives to see what they can inspire you.

Qin Feizi

1. Concubine Concubine is the founder of Qin State, a descendant of Boyi, and the grandson of E Lai V, the minister of Shang Dynasty. Emei, the son of Fei Lian, was executed during the cutting week, and his descendants were attached to the name of Fei Lian's youngest son, Ji Sheng. Zhao Fu, the descendant of Ji Sheng, helped Zhou Muwang to quell the rebellion in Xu Yanwang in Zhou Muwang because of his good driving, and Zhou Muwang made Zhao Zhao Zhao Fu. Therefore, all people follow Zhao Fu and call him Zhao.

In fact, Zhao Fu got a fief in Zhou Muwang because of his excellent driving skills. Not in the Zhou dynasty, because horses also had fiefs. Some people may ask, at that time, so many people kept horses? Why can concubines get fiefs while others can't?

The reason is that others keep horses and only know how to feed them. Fat boy not only knows how to raise horses, but also knows how to care, train, breed and prevent horse diseases. This is what makes him different.

In the workplace, many people start doing the same job at the same starting point, but some people have been promoted and raised, while others are still standing still. Non-child horse-raising, giving full play to his personal specialty and paying attention to the details of his work, has been appreciated by his boss. For those of us who work hard in the workplace, should we also learn from concubines? If you want to get a promotion and raise your salary, you can get a promotion and raise your salary by exerting your special skills to the extreme!

Su Qin

2. Su Qin, Su Qin, a native of Luoyang in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, studied under Guiguzi. Maybe it's because I didn't study hard After graduation, I traveled for several years, and I was penniless and accomplished nothing, and returned to my hometown.

Back home, Su Qin was secretly ridiculed by his brother, sister-in-law and even his wife, saying, "The custom of Zhou people is to manage property and devote themselves to industry and commerce in order to get two-tenths of the profits. Is it wrong for you to give up your fundamental career for fame and fortune and lobby everywhere and end up poor? " Su Qin was so ashamed that he never left home. He took out his library and read it all.

Su Qin thought hard: "Now that the scholar has been taught by the teacher, he can't bury himself in reading to gain fame and fortune. Even if they read more, what's the use? " He found a weekly "Yin Fu" (that is, "Taigong Conspiracy") and studied at his desk.

After studying for a whole year, he finally realized the true meaning and said confidently, "These can be used to lobby contemporary monarchs."

Su Qin was quite confident and began to lobby Zhou Wang and King Hui of Qin to hit a wall. It was not until he met Yan that he realized his own rectification idea. With the support of Yan State, Su Qin quickly traveled to other countries. Finally, it became the length of the six countries and the seal of the six countries. Su Qin passed through Luoyang, and many vassal states came to curry favor with him. Back home, my brother, wife and sister-in-law dared not look up at him, so they had to bow their heads and wait on him respectfully for dinner.

Seeing this scene, Su Qin smiled and said to her sister-in-law: "Why were you so arrogant to me before, and now you are so respectful to me?" His sister-in-law knelt on the ground, her face pressed to the ground, and apologized to him, saying, "This time I see that you are tall and rich!" " Su Qin can't help but sigh: "When a family member has money, relatives will be afraid of you; When you are poor, you are despised. Besides ordinary people! If I have two hectares of fertile land near Luoyang city, how can I wear the seal of the six countries now! "So he divided his money and property among his relatives and friends.

Many people can't find a good job after graduating from college, or go out to work for a few years and accomplish nothing. Always being laughed at by others, even family members look down on themselves. Maybe it's time for you to really look at your shortcomings. We should learn from Su Qin, reposition ourselves and find our own advantages. Then come back, maybe you can do something big.

Last time I read an article, a college student just graduated and worked as a brand planner in a company. The copy was written several times and failed. Finally got laid off. In this way, he hit a wall many times. In order to find his own shortcomings, he bought a book, Social Psychology, to study people's psychological and social needs. Finally, he became a big shot in the media field. Many companies invited him to train.

What he has experienced is actually very familiar with Su Qin's experience. I believe that in reality, many people in Qin have just left the society and have not experienced many times. But after several years of hard study and deep cultivation in a certain field, I can finally become an expert. So, when you are laughed at, turn sadness into motivation. When you succeed, those who look down on you will look at you with new eyes. If you stand still and don't make progress, no one will respect you.

Rees

3. Lisi Lisi is a Cai native of Chu State. When he was young, he worked as a small official in the county. He often sees rats in officials' toilets eating dirt. Whenever someone or a dog comes near, he is afraid. Later, Reese walked into a warehouse and found that the mice in the warehouse were eating the hoarded corn. The mouse hides in a hole under the roof of the big house, but it doesn't have to worry about the approach of people and dogs.

Deeply inspired, Reese sighed and said, "A person's talent or unworthiness is like a mouse, depending on his environment!" " Reese resigned and studied the art of emperors with Xunzi.

After Li Si finished his studies, Li Si made an analysis of the situation at that time. At first, he wanted to go to Chu State. Come to think of it, the situation in the six countries is very bad at present, and there is no chance to make contributions, so I went to Qin. Finally, he became the prime minister of Qin, and he ruled the world.

Before Reese left, when he said goodbye to Xunzi, he told the truth. He thinks that once the opportunity comes, don't miss it. To achieve great things, we must choose large companies with development potential and long-term strategic vision. It's like a mouse, it has different treatment in different environments. So some people can get a promotion and a raise, and some people can't go out for life.

Reese's success tells us that success depends on one's environment. With a good environment, we must choose the right company and follow the right people. In addition, Reese's ending also tells us that in a high position in the company, we should not be greedy for money. Are you tied to the interests of the company, or do you put the overall situation first? Don't covet immediate interests and betray the company. Reese got off to a good start, but in the end he got nothing. It is better to be a frightened mouse.

We are in a network age of information explosion, which is neither good nor bad. If you feel that the present environment is suitable for starting a business, or there is an opportunity to change your life, don't hesitate to move forward bravely!

surname

Han Xin was born in Huaiyin, a commoner. When he was young, he did not go out to do business. He stayed at someone else's house for several months. He lives in a local pavilion, and his wife hates him. Deliberately not to eat Korean food, Han Xin knew each other's intentions and left. I have to make a living by fishing, perhaps because I am so hungry. The aunt who washed her clothes in the river felt sorry for her and gave her food.

Han Xin was very grateful to the old lady and said to her, "I will definitely repay your old man heavily in the future." Aunt said angrily, "A gentleman can't support himself. I pity you. Do I want you to repay me? "

A young man among the butchers in Huaiyin abused Han Xin and thought that Han Xin was a coward with a sword. Let Han Xin stab him with a knife, and he won't dare to climb over the butcher's crotch. Han Xin dare not, finally climbed up from the butcher's crotch. People all over the street laughed at Han Xin and thought he was timid.

Later, Han Xin followed Xiang Liang, and after Xiang Liang's death, he followed Xiang Yu, but the result was not reused. Finally, Han Xin took refuge in Liu Bang and was worshipped as a general. After Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, Han Xin became the king of Chu. Call the floating mother who once gave him food and give her one thousand pounds of gold.

Han Xin's success actually gave us two inspirations:

First: The most correct thing he did was not kill the butcher who insulted him. If he kills the butcher who insulted him, it may be a capital crime, and there will be no more Han Xin in history. What happened? Therefore, in order to realize his ambition, Han Xin endured humiliation and was fearless in the face of humiliation.

Second: Han Xin was not taken seriously when he took refuge in Xiang Yu. Isn't it his ability? It's definitely not that Han Xin is incompetent, but that he has a strong boss who won't let him do it. So Han Xin can't display his ambition. Finally, he took refuge in Liu Bang, who worshipped him as a general. Since then, Han Xin has made great contributions to the establishment of the Han Dynasty.

Judging from Han Xin's life track, if you want to succeed, you still have to follow the right person. People are wrong, and everything is in vain. Even if you are a talented person, if you don't follow the right person, your talent can't be displayed and eventually buried. So, you have to do one thing, either follow the right person or fight alone. This is the way out.

Sean is a master.

5. Sean Sean belongs to a North Korean aristocrat. After the fall of Korea, he hired a Hercules to assassinate Qin Shihuang during his tour to the east. The result failed and he was wanted. Sean changed his name and surname and hid people.

Once, Sean went out and met an old man (Huang Shigong). The old man deliberately threw his shoes under the bridge and asked Sean to pick them up and put them on his knees.

Sean was not angry, but knelt on the ground and put on the old man's shoes. The old man thinks that Sean is a plastic talent and wants to cultivate him. Generally speaking, the old man thinks that Sean is a very patient person. Think about it, pick up shoes for a stranger and let him kneel on the ground to wear them. If you have a bad temper, you may throw away the old man's shoes or even beat him up.

Because Sean has great respect for the elderly, he thinks he is a plastic talent. The old man asked Sean to wait for him on the bridge five days later and gave him something. Zhang walked three times in a row before he reached the bridge in front of the old man. From this perspective, the elderly are cultivating their own principles of life.

First: do things on time; Second: be patient in doing things; Third: Don't give up halfway.

If Sean is unpunctual, impatient and gives up halfway, he will eventually fail to learn the Art of War of the old man. Then in the later political career, it is possible to be unknown. Of course, the old man taught him not only punctuality and patience, but also a more important truth: "retire after success." Serve the monarch, don't be greedy for power, or you will come to a bad end. Sean really "retired" and got away smoothly.
