The Tragedy of Life

One day, I saw an old farmer tying a big buffalo to a small wooden stake in the countryside. I walked up to the old farmer and said to the old farmer: "Uncle, it will run away." The old farmer laughed and said in a very sure tone: "It won't run away. It has always been like this." I was a little confused and couldn't help it. I asked again: "Why not? With such a small wooden stake, the cow can pull it out with just a little force?"

At this time, the old farmer approached me and lowered his voice. (As if afraid that the cow would hear it): "Young man, let me tell you, when this cow was still a calf, it was tied to this wooden stake. At first, it was not so quiet, and sometimes acted wildly. It broke free from the wooden stake, but at that time it had little strength and kept spinning in place for a while. When it saw that it could not be helped, it withered. Later, when it grew up, it no longer had the intention to fight with the wooden stake. Once, I brought grass to feed it and deliberately placed it where its neck could not reach. I thought it would break away from the stake and go to eat grass. However, it did not, and just barked twice. I just stood there and stared at the forage. "Is it interesting?"

I had an epiphany. It turned out that what restrained the cow was not the small wooden stake, but the mental shackles it had set by its own inertia. Comment: Life is not like this. Some people always manage their lives with a fixed mindset. As a result, they can never get out of the prison they have set for themselves, and they have no chance of success throughout their lives. Think about it, in this world, besides yourself, who else can give you freedom?

Story 2: Be a taillight for others

In a meeting, I met Mr. Li, a young and promising entrepreneur. I had already heard about Mr. Li’s entrepreneurial legend, so I asked him what his entrepreneurial secret was. He told me a story.

That was five years ago, when Mr. Li was still working in a Taiwan-funded company. Their boss is not only a big entrepreneur who owns many companies in many countries, but he is also a professor and a scholarly businessman. He has both good economic acumen and high academic achievements. It was for this reason that Mr. Li joined his company. Because Mr. Li was diligent and willing to use his brain, his boss quickly promoted him to department manager, responsible for the sales of furniture. He has always done nothing wrong. Once, the company purchased a set of furniture with a price tag of 200,000 yuan. But for some reason, no one asked about the price after four months of storage. Finally one day, a customer took a fancy to this set of furniture as soon as he came in. After asking about the price, he always wanted to keep it low and asked Mr. Li if he could sell it for 180,000 yuan. Mr. Li also wanted to sell this set of furniture, but the boss only gave him a floating authority of 10,000 yuan, but the customer was also stubborn and refused to buy it if 180,000 yuan was not enough.

After a long stalemate, Mr. Li wanted to call his boss for instructions, but his boss was on a business trip abroad and his mobile phone was turned off. He did not dare to make the decision without authorization, and the business was ruined. Two days later, the boss came back and Mr. Li reported the incident. The boss was a little unhappy. He said, "Don't you see that it is difficult to get rid of this set of furniture now?" You should know my mentality. Since no one has asked about it for four months, it means that there is no point in buying this set of furniture. The sooner I get rid of it, the better. Not to mention 180,000 yuan, you should sell it even for 170,000 yuan. Otherwise, no one will want even 160,000 yuan next time. Mr. Li lowered his head aggrievedly, thinking, I have so much courage. Seeing his appearance, the boss smiled generously and said forget it, drive me first and let's go have dinner together. They got in the car and Mr. Li started the car. There was some fog in the air, there were many cars on the road, and they were walking a little slowly. After more than ten minutes, the fog became thicker and thicker, making it difficult to see the road clearly. The boss was not in a hurry and told him this while letting him crawl slowly like a snail in the traffic. He asked Li Sheng, how can you drive safer in such foggy weather? Mr. Li said that as long as you follow the tail lights of the car in front, you'll be fine. The boss was silent for a while and suddenly asked, if you were the lead car, whose taillights should you follow? After hearing this, Mr. Li was shocked. Yes, if he was the leader, who would show him the way? He understood the boss's unintentional meaning immediately: Under normal circumstances, you can rely on your boss to make decisions for you, which also saves you from sharing responsibilities. But under special circumstances, you should use your own discernment to see clearly the road ahead, use your own mind to analyze the pros and cons, and choose your own direction. Bill. Who can Gates follow? People who only follow other people's tail lights will never lead. From then on, Mr. Li worked even better. It didn't take long for him to discover a new entrepreneurial field that others had not explored. Through his own struggle and Keen business acumen and quick success. His entrepreneurial secret is just one sentence: be the taillight for others.

Comments: The two stories (The Tragedy of Life) and (Being Someone Else’s Taillight) are related, and reading them together will have a better effect.

These two stories illustrate each other. If you want to be someone else’s taillight, you must have a free mind and rely on your own thinking to choose your own direction; if you want to have free thoughts, you must have expectations. The will of others' taillights is what we often say, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier."

Do you want to pursue a more valuable life? If that's the case, then you have to have a free-thinking mind and the will to be someone else's taillight. Otherwise, please just follow others and live a "satisfactory" life like that cow, and please stop complaining.
