Four idioms that represent the working status of each of us

Every day, we plan to investigate, research, judge, and make moves. To solve the problem, we need to predict the market response. The longer the time, the more experience, the less courage, the more you fear and follow the thin ice.

There are four idiom stories that represent the four states of our work. I wrote them today to remind you:

1. Blind people touch Images

A blind person is a story in the first-year elementary school textbook. When four blind people do not know what the elephant looks like, they will touch it. Fat blind people first touch the elephant's teeth. He said that the elephant is like a big, thick, smooth big radish. The tall blind man touched the elephant's ears and said it was a huge fan. The short blind man touched the elephant's leg, the old blind man touched his tail and said it was a straw rope. Therefore, we can look at the problem in the metaphor of "blind people touch images" to be partial.

When I was with my son, he laughed and said it was silly! I sighed, "Alas! Son, Dad is blind to people every day !"

Never think that blind people are just a joke! Your daily work is nothing more than a blind person.

Today, to solve the financial crisis, leaders from all over the world are blindly exploring.

Let's give an example of China's most popular housing price and stock market problems. If you flip through the newspapers in the past two years, you will find all the elites in this country who have mastered huge resources and power, it is nothing more than blindly touching images with a strong mind.

Therefore, you should not think that you will not blindly touch images. In fact, you are blind to touch images every day, because no one will be able to blindly touch images to a certain extent.

It is not terrible for blind people to touch images. What is terrible is that they do not know that they are blind people.

Don't know, don't be terrible. What's terrible is that you don't know.

I don't know, I know.

So it is very important to know that you do not know.

It is necessary to maintain a reverence and a thin ice-like attitude.

Decisiveness and courage are also necessary.

Remind yourself when making any decision: Are you blind. If you have more alarms, you will have fewer mistakes.

This is dialectical.

2. Pony crossing the river

 

The son's Chinese Textbook also contains a text: Pony crossing the river.

It is said that a pony is going to cross the river, but he does not know the depth of the river. Ask the old Uncle Niu. The old Uncle Niu said that there is no problem. You have passed the calf. When the pony heard it, he was confident that he was ready to cross the river. The squirrel shouted at him: "The water is very deep! One of my partners drowned in it last year !" Pony did not dare to pass, go home and ask mom. Mom told him that he had to try it before he knew it. He tried it carefully. It was just over the river.

This story also vividly conveys the status we often live in: Taking hundreds of millions of marketing expenses and going to a new project, can this river pass through? I want to say that there is a chance to pass through. There are a lot of examples of success in the past. Aren't they all over? But in fact, there are nine failed examples, but the dead did not leave a name, and we do not know. So it is useless to look at others. They are all blind people, and they have to make their own set.

This year, there are many ponies crossing the river. It is mainly because of the financial crisis that the original export enterprises "export to internal sales" hope to establish a brand-global brand network-in the domestic market -. However, I have observed that most of the enterprises do not have sufficient estimation of their difficulties. They have a high level of understanding and ability and do not know what they do.

The changes faced by these enterprises are not "export to internal sales", because what they did was not "Export", but production. The original "sale" was only for buyers of international companies, it is not directly sold in foreign markets. In fact, there is no "sales" at all, and I don't know what the "sales" is, and I don't know what it is.

Therefore, you must recognize your own nature, recognize that you are not "exporting to internal sales", but "not selling to market", and then evaluate how wide the river is before you can arrange your own investment and pace, take a small step to learn and test the Chinese market. Otherwise, it is easy to fail. Especially for the large-sized export enterprises, how good the money is to make mistakes.

3. Oil seller

The story of "oil man" is from my junior high school Chinese textbooks. He said that Chen yaozhi is good at archery. Once, he archery in his garden, and an oil-selling old man put down the burden of his hand and stood by. He looked at him with a dry eye, never leave for a long time. Old weng saw eight or nine of the ten arrows delivered by Chen yaozhi, but nodded slightly to approve of the situation.

Chen yaozhi asked: "Do you have archery? Isn't my archery skill superb ?" The old man said: "There is no other mystery, but it is just a hand-cooked one ." After hearing this, Chen Yao said angrily: "How dare you despise my archery martial arts !" Old weng said: "With my experience in oil pouring, I can understand this truth ." So the old man took a gourd and put it on the ground, covered it with copper money, and slowly poured the oil into the gourd with a scorpion. The oil was injected from the hole of copper money, but it was not wet with copper money. The old man said: "I have no other mysteries about this craft, but I am familiar with it. (I don't have him, but I am familiar with him) "Chen yaozhi sent the old man with a smile.

The "only hand-cooked" of the oil seller has always been the highest level of my pursuit. Therefore, the creation concepts of China and China are positioned as "style culture" and "routine culture". design must follow the style, and planning must follow the routine, this ensures that "ten arrows can be shot in ". Nothing is reliable. Talking to an entrepreneur that day, he further concluded that "the routine should be refined and the skill should be strong ". "Routine + skill", he upgraded our creative philosophy.

We should try our best to keep things within the scope of our hands, and try to use only styles and routines that have been proven effective by long-term practices. Of course, it is beyond our experience and scope of understanding. Blind people can touch the image and the pony can cross the river.

4. Ding jieniu

Ding Jie Niu is a story in Chuang Tzu, saying that there is a place called Ding's chef for Liang Hui Wang to slaughter cattle, where his hands are in touch, where his shoulders are leaning against, and where his feet are standing, the place where the knees are standing, the sound of skin and bone exists. When the knife is stabbed in, the sound is louder. these sounds are not in line with the music. It conforms to the beat of "sanlin" and the rhythm of "Jing Shou" music.

Liang Huiwang said: "Hey! Okay! How can your technology reach this level ?"

Ding put down his knife and replied, "what the Minister explores is the natural law, which has exceeded the pursuit of the technology. When I first started slaughter, I only saw the whole ox (not familiar with the structure of the ox.

"Three years later, I saw the internal texture and bones of the ox, and I couldn't see the whole ox any more.

"Now, when a cow is slaughtered, the Minister can only use his mind to touch the body of the cow, instead of seeing it with his eyes. It is like the feeling that the organ has stopped its activity and its whole idea is in activity. Along the texture structure of the ox, the gap between bones and muscles is split, and the holes between bones are used as the original structure of the ox. The cow has never touched a place connected to the meridian, and the muscles and muscles attached to the bones are converged. What's more, what about the big bones of the stock?

"Skilled cooks change a knife every year because they cut meat with a knife. Technicians change a knife every month because they cut down the bones with a knife. Now this knife has been in use for more than 19 years, and thousands of cattle have been slaughtered, while the knife mouth has just been worn out from the stone. There is a gap between the bones of the ox, but the blade is not thick, with such a thin blade stabbed into the gap of the bone, so when the operation of the blade must be wide and have room, therefore, after 19 years of use, the blade is still like grinding it out from the sharpening stone. Even so, whenever I encounter a gap between bones and muscles, I am very scared and careful when I see it difficult to get down. The knife gently moved, and a burst of flesh and blood had been separated, like a pile of soil scattered on the ground. I stood up with a knife and looked around proudly for the success. Wipe the knife and add it to favorites ."

This is Ding Jie Niu, the insight into and grasp of things has reached an exhausted level, the legend of "everything in control" is this state. However, I have read history books and have not found any historical figures in this status. No matter how great a hero is, they are all in three states: blind people, pony crossing the river, and oil man. Therefore, Ding Jie Niu may be able to solve such a thing. It is impossible to solve the problem. Let's say that he is the fairy story of Chuang Tzu. If anyone says that he is "everything is under control", I will definitely stay away from him.
