1. An old fisherman in ancient Japan discovered that if a few remaining lively sardines were put into a group of salvaged lazy catfish, they would be fine.

2. Anyone who has played checkers knows that each of the six players dominates one side and competes with each other. Everyone moved their six glass balls to the predetermined location as soon as possible. If you only focus on cooperation, give up competition. If you blindly build bridges and pave the way for others, then others will reach their destination first. If you are hot, you will lag behind others and end up failing. On the contrary, if you only pay attention to competition and ignore cooperation. If you only want to block the way for others, you will delay your own business. You still won't win.

3. Legend has it that a very bad old woman died. She has never done a single good deed in her life. The ghost captured her and threw her into the sea of ??fire. The angel guarding her stood there, thinking, I have to think of one good thing she did during her lifetime so that she can tell God. The angel thought for a long time, and finally she remembered that the bad woman once pulled a green onion in the vegetable garden and gave it to an old beggar. So the angel ran and said to God. God said to the angel: Well, just use an onion to pull her out. If she can be pulled out of the sea of ??fire, she will go to heaven. If the onion is cut off, the woman will have to be in the sea of ??fire, just like now. Then the angel ran to the sea of ??fire and gave a green onion to the woman. And said to her: Hello, woman. Just hold on tight until I pull you up. They were almost pulled up, but other sinners in the sea of ??fire also wanted to be pulled up to heaven. But the bad woman kicked them with her feet and said that they were pulling me, not you. They were my onions, not yours. As soon as she finished speaking, the green onion broke. Later, the bad woman realized that the onion could actually bring many people to heaven together. God wanted to test her, but she failed to withstand the test. The poor and hateful bad woman is precisely the principle that non-competition and cooperation are inseparable. Therefore, she cannot ascend to heaven and enjoy joy and happiness, but can only accept the torment of hell and sea of ??fire.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Duke Huan accepted the suggestion and took Zhong back to his country. Soon he became the prime minister and presided over political affairs. Guan Zhong was able to display all his talents.
