Everyone want to be successful, but often feels that they are unable to do so.
A little boy was moving a stone in the yard, and his father encouraged him: “Son, as long as you work hard, you will be able to move it.”
But the stone was too heavy, and eventually, the child could not lift it. He told his father: “The stone is too heavy, I have tried my best!”
The father said: “You did not try your best.” The little boy was puzzled, and his father smiled and said, “Because I’m next to you, you didn’t even ask for my help!”
In fact, who can only use one’s own ability to achieve the result of a thing? Many successful people are not how strong they are, but that he can integrate more resources. We also call this “borrowing force”.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang was one of the people who used it best. Zhou Yu said to Zhuge Liang: “Give me 100,000 arrows in 3 day.” This is an impossible task, Zhuge Liang still fully agreed. But why? If you can’t build it, you can borrow it! He said to Cao Cao, “I want to kill you, can you lend me 100,000 arrows?” On a foggy morning, Zhuge Liang dispatched thousands of wooden boats with straws all over them, pretending to attack Cao Ying. When Cao Cao saw that Zhuge Liang, you really wanted to kill me, I shot you with an arrow first, and ordered all the archers to send all arrows together. As a result, the arrows hit the straw of the ship. Within an hour, Zhuge Liang would take it. More than 100,000 arrows sent to Cao Cao. Who said that leverage can only be used for your colleagues, friends, or your relatives. Sometimes your competitors are also good targets for borrowing.
The British Library in the United Kingdom is a world-renowned library with a very rich collection of books. Once, the library had to move, that is to say, it had to move from the old library to the new library. The transportation cost is very expensive. How to do? Someone paid attention to the curator. The library advertised in the newspaper: From now on, every citizen can borrow 10 books from the British Library for free. As a result, many citizens flocked to the library, and within a few days they ran out of books in the library. I borrowed the book, how can I return it? Return the books you borrowed to the new hall. The library borrowed everyone’s strength to move to the new location. You must also want to be like the British Library. If you can discover your “four-two power” (books) and dare to use the “four-two power” (for free borrowing), everything will be fine. Giving is sometimes a kind of leverage.
For some people life is hard, once in a while you want to give up everything. You had good days and the bad days, but more bad than good or it seems. Everyday you question yourself “What is this all for?” “Am I making the right choices?” You have more questions than answers and most of the time you don’t even know how to explain them. Life is hard but you have to keep going, you have to rise above the waters of your soul and bloom, no matter how hot the fire is, no matter how many arrows you carry on your back. Going through the hard times, but believe me you are a warrior, a soldier filled with both pain and love. Well, life is just another beast you were meant to tame and there is no one better for the job, other than you.
