Why don’t you be a lone wolf?

Success cannot only rely on one's own strength. Success must rely on others. Only by helping more people succeed can you succeed.

On the vast prairie, there lives a group of powerful lions. There was a particularly tall lion in the pride. It was extremely arrogant and was not liked by everyone, and was not promoted as the lion king. When everyone is hunting, it often runs far away to hunt and enjoy itself.

A group of hyenas still live on the vast prairie. Although they are very weak, they are very safe because the lions don't bother to catch them. However, they are really unwilling to live on the lion's leftovers forever.

Once, the tallest lion in the pride went hunting alone again. "It's strange, why is there nothing around?" It was surprised when a group of hyenas that had been paying attention to it for a long time quietly came up from behind and ate it.

The lion in the story ignored this rule of survival: no matter how tall the tiger is, it cannot defeat a pack of wolves.

Cambridge professor Fred Shweder often educates students: No matter how great a person's power is, it is still small after all. Only by integrating into the group can one exert his greatest power. One plus one equals two, and this equation can only be true in a collective.

Among the plants in the world, the most majestic is the redwood in California, USA. Its height is approximately 90 meters, equivalent to more than 30 floors.

Generally speaking, the taller the plant, the deeper its roots should be. But scientists discovered that the roots of the redwoods only floated shallowly on the ground. However, tall plants whose roots are not deeply rooted are very fragile. Just a strong wind can uproot them, let alone something as tall as a redwood!

It turns out that the redwoods are a large forest of redwoods, and the roots of these large redwoods are closely connected with each other, one tree after another. No matter how powerful a hurricane is in nature, it cannot shake thousands of redwood trees whose roots are closely connected and cover thousands of hectares.

The redwood’s shallow roots are what allow it to grow so tall. Its roots float on the surface, allowing it to quickly and massively absorb the water it needs to grow, allowing it to grow quickly. At the same time, it does not need to expend too much energy to take down deep roots like ordinary plants.

From the above two examples, it is not difficult for us to understand the following truth:

Success cannot only rely on one's own strength. Success must rely on others. Only by helping more people succeed, Only by yourself can you succeed. We should extend our learning tentacles widely and integrate with the vast information network to absorb the nutrients that provide us with rapid growth, without spending energy to study blindly alone.

If you haven’t grown up yet, you might as well extend your roots of learning, connect closely with successful people, join successful and positive groups, absorb their experience, understand the attitude of successful people, and let yourself grow faster .

As long as you are familiar with this trick of leveraging and cooperating, you will soon become a majestic tree in the forest of success.

An ant is insignificant. An ant colony composed of tens of millions of ants can defeat any powerful enemy that the ants want to defeat. A drop of water placed in the sun will evaporate in the blink of an eye and disappear without a trace. However, a big river formed by countless drops of water can flow endlessly and is unstoppable. The same is true for people. Even if a person has great abilities, strong abilities, and a very smart mind, it is absolutely impossible to complete a career alone. Only in a collective team, where everyone's combined efforts are like a united ant colony, like a river rushing hand in hand, can everyone give full play to their abilities and realize their ambitions, and there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome and no miracles. Can't create. This is the philosophy of life that Cambridge’s educational wisdom tells us.
