Many people work extremely hard, but achieve little. It is likely that they have ignored key limiting factors.

Although everyone is working hard, some people gain little, while others achieve rapid growth, which is enviable. The difference between the two is whether they can take advantage of the situation.

There is no shortage of hard-working people in this world, and knowing how to take advantage of the situation to grow quickly is the most important thing.

Changes in thinking, speed in action, and improvement in abilities are all growth brought about by taking advantage of the situation. As long as you make good use of it, a person's network can provide you with enough resources and power. Your relatives and friends, acquaintances, and even your opponents can all be used by you.

Xunzi, a famous thinker during the Warring States Period, said: "A fake horse can only travel a thousand miles if it is not beneficial to its feet; a fake boat can not run water, but it can cross the rivers and seas."

The qualifications and abilities of great people in real life are not much better than ordinary people. The biggest difference is that they are good at using external objects.

In ancient times, "borrowing the wind and the clouds", "borrowing the body to bring back the soul", "borrowing the belly to conceive", "borrowing fame to gain profit",

"borrowing strength to fight", "borrowing chicken to give birth to children" "Egg", etc., all focus on the word "borrow" and rely on external forces to achieve development. When a sailboat goes out to sea or a kite flies into the sky, it all means "the good wind will send me to the blue clouds with its power." And people's success also needs help.

As Andrew Carnegie famously said: "It's not that I have any extraordinary wisdom or ability. I'm just better at uniting people who are more capable than me in some aspects to work for me."

When Hu Xueyan was an apprentice at a bank, he was not only smart but also very diligent. He made no mistakes when his boss sent him to collect accounts, and he was highly regarded.

One summer, Hu Xueyan saw a young man who wanted to commit suicide by drowning himself in the river and hurriedly went to rescue him.

We won’t know until the rescuer asks why.

This man’s name is Wang Youling, and his father lived in Zhejiang after being framed as the prefect of Yunnan.

He used his life savings to give him the false title of Salt Ambassador, which required 300 taels of silver to fill the gap. However, he was penniless, so he wanted to commit suicide by drowning himself in the river.

After learning about it, Hu Xueyan thought:

He is by no means an idle person. If he helps him, he will be able to help him when he achieves something in the future, so with the help of his friend With help, I raised 300 taels in one year to make up for his vacancy.

After Wang Youling became an official, he introduced Hu Xueyan to the imperial envoy He Master. When he learned that the capital needed food, Hu Xueyan immediately transported 100,000 kilograms of stored food to Beijing, solving the food shortage in the capital and receiving a commendation from the emperor.

In this way, Hu Xueyan gradually opened up business routes.

Later, when he opened a bank, every wife and aunt of an official in Zhejiang Province deposited 20 taels for free in the bank.

After the opening, the wife of Pan Taigui, the governor of Liangjiang, found out about it and deposited several hundred taels in the bank. Other wives of officials also deposited a lot, and his bank became known to more and more people.

After Wang Youling passed away, he established a relationship with Zuo Zongtang by sending 1 million kilograms of disaster relief food. Eventually he became a powerful figure in the mall and the only red-top businessman in history.

Hu Xueyan expanded his business step by step by constantly taking advantage of the situation.

Churchill said: "There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only eternal interests." The winner is the one who makes good use of external forces. Based on oneself but not rejecting external forces, this is an indispensable state of successful thinking.

Successful figures in history have all fully demonstrated the success method of "borrowing others' wisdom and strength".

Zhuge Liang is good at borrowing the power of nature, such as borrowing the east wind, borrowing fire, and borrowing arrows, so as to amplify his power 10 times or 100 times.

Liu Bang was good at borrowing people's power. For example, he borrowed Zhang Liang's wisdom to strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away; he borrowed Xiao He to do logistics work and send grain and grass to ensure continuous supply; he borrowed Han Xin to command millions of troops and win the battle. To win and attack, you must gain the ability. The reason why Liu Bang won the world was because he knew how to borrow the power of others. And Xiang Yu only had Fan Zeng and an old man who didn't know how to leverage, so he was destroyed in the end!

As the saying goes: "Three stooges are as good as Zhuge Liang." Smart people are good at adapting and will not stick to the rules and stick to their own opinions. But be open-minded and eager to learn, open to receive advice.

"A gentleman is born without exception, and is good at pretending to things." Smart people are good at making the most of others, using their wisdom, and making the most of everyone. They are good at "borrowing strength" to climb up the stairs. The pyramid of success in one step.

In the traditional class model, the class teacher is the "three diligent" teachers who are diligent with their mouth, diligent with their legs and diligent with their eyes. It is true that dedicated teachers deserve respect, but an efficient management model that gets twice the result with half the effort is even more worthy of admiration. As we all know, human beings evolve due to "borrowing force". Innovation in modern class management is a top priority to improve effectiveness. Learning to "borrow force" is an art of modern class management. Leveraging "external force" skillfully and integrating resources will bring about a brand new class teacher work experience.

In the management work of class teachers, some experts believe that class teachers should learn to "borrow strength" skillfully:

1. Borrow strength from students.

Show weakness to the children: he is the master of the class, she is the master of learning, he and she are the masters of success, and the teacher is just a supporting role of companionship and service. Do your best now and walk the right path. Only when everyone unites the class and works together can we make the class better and meet a better version of ourselves on the way forward.

Tell the children: To show your own light, you don’t have to blow out the light of others. Success requires the help of noble people and the encouragement of opponents. Competing among classmates to catch up and surpass each other is the best "borrowing force" from each other.

2. Borrow the power of teachers.

Fully mobilize the active guiding role of teachers to further form a joint force in education;

3. Leverage the power of parents.

Leave many affairs of the class to parents, let parents and friends actively participate in the top-level design and implementation of class development, and become specific planners, participants, and even executors of class affairs, working side by side with teachers. , hand in hand with children, efficient management with twice the result with half the effort is by no means a myth.

4. Borrowing power from the Internet+

It opens a wonderful window for modern education and teaching: advanced teaching concepts can be learned and applied now; an open platform approach can provide You can use it; the avant-garde content of a hundred schools of thought will teach you to think; "borrow power" from science and technology to open up a new world of education.

Create a class blog; create a class public account; create a home-school WeChat platform; create a spiritual home for students, a supermarket of knowledge, a paradise for learning, and create a second classroom for children to grow freely. Campus life is rich and colorful, don’t miss out on the excitement of your classmates; take photos and videos frequently and record them, publish them on the platform for parents’ enjoyment; keep a blog and broadcast it at any time, so that you can reminisce and enjoy it for years to come; share your good memories frequently, and spread happiness and love all over the sky!

Only by learning to leverage can you reduce stress and become an excellent professional class teacher

For troublesome problems that cannot be solved by one person, use the wisdom, experience and strength of others to form a joint force to solve them , the problem may become much easier to solve, or even no longer a problem.

There is a concept in Tai Chi martial arts called "strike with force", which refers to using reaction force to frustrate the attacker instead of taking the initiative to attack.

A person’s power is likely to be weak; more often than not, we need to borrow power from others and the outside world, using leverage to leverage greater resources for our own use, so that we can become stronger More powerful.

Mao Zedong believed that the correct use of manpower is the most powerful guarantee for tapping human potential. Throughout his life, Mao Zedong was best at using the power of the people. Because he understands that borrowing the power of others is to use the power of good people. Once the power of good people is used, the power of others will continue to contribute. The mass line advocated by Mao Zedong should be established in this way.

As the saying goes: "A good man has three gangs, and a fence has three stakes." The division of labor in society is becoming more and more detailed, and there are more and more specialists who are proficient in narrow fields, and more and more generalists are needed to do everything. few. Therefore, if a person wants to achieve something, he should not just work hard on his own, but should seek cooperation and "borrow strength" widely. Only in this way can something be achieved.

Today is an era of coexistence of cooperation and competition. We must be good at learning the strengths of others, drawing strength from others, and improving ourselves with an open mind.

On the road to growth, one's own efforts are very important, but sometimes one can overcome one's own limitations with the appropriate help of external forces. Internal and external forces work together to form a synergy, which is more conducive to one's own development.
