This rule is somewhat similar to the well-known story of "three monks": when there is a monk in the temple, he makes his own decisions and does it comfortably; When there are two monks in the temple, it is also good to consciously carry out division of labor and cooperation through consultation; But when the third monk came to the temple, the problem appeared: no one refused to obey anyone, and no one was willing to do it. As a result, everyone has no water to drink.
The Washington Cooperation Act emphasizes the importance of unity and cooperation. Lack of teamwork will only make the team progress slowly and even the whole project fail. Only by establishing a clear management system, clarifying individual responsibilities and division of labor, and strengthening communication and coordination between teams can we improve efficiency and get twice the result with half the effort.
Junior high school physics has taught that when several forces acting on the same object are in the same direction, their resultant force is the sum of these forces; If several forces acting on the same object are in different directions, the resultant force will be less than the sum of these forces. In fact, the cooperation between people has the same nature, but it is much more complicated and subtle than the simple addition of ordinary forces: in the cooperation between people, assuming that everyone's ability is 1, then the cooperation result of 10 will sometimes be much greater than 10, and sometimes even less than 1. People are like those forces in different directions. The two push each other and naturally get twice the result with half the effort, but if they contradict each other, nothing will be achieved.
There is an old fable in China: an old man is old, and his five sons often quarrel, which is not harmonious and United at all. One day, the old man called his five sons to his side and gave them each a pair of chopsticks, trying to break one of them. As a result, everyone broke a chopstick easily. The old man asked everyone to put the remaining five chopsticks together and let everyone break them hard. As a result, it is difficult for everyone to break chopsticks. So the old man told his five sons that only unity can make them stronger, and unity and cooperation between brothers can make them have a happy family. There is also a legend in the west: God gave two families two long chopsticks. The first family used long chopsticks as ordinary chopsticks and only sent food to their mouths, but the chopsticks were too long to eat food at all, and they all starved to death. The second family sends food to each other's mouths. They fed each other and helped each other, and the whole family survived. Both of these stories tell us that only by uniting and cooperating can we survive and get a happy life.
In August 2003, after nearly six months of adventure and fear, the kidnapping of European tourists in Sahara Desert 15 was finally solved. 14 people survived, but only German female tourist Michelle Spitzer was not spared. Looking back on the whole kidnapping process, we can see that Michelle's death was not accidental. To some extent, she couldn't get along with others, which led to her dehydration and death from the sun.
In this death journey, it is particularly important to get along and cooperate with passengers and kidnappers. Personal experience and charm determine their ability to get along and cooperate with others in this group and their position in this group. Michelle's stubborn personality and uncooperative attitude make her severely isolated in this group. Michelle doesn't trust anyone and often has conflicts with her peers, all because of trivial things. The kidnappers are extremists. They asked the vulnerable hostages to wear headscarves and coats. Among the abductees, only Michelle didn't cooperate. In the case of repeated persuasion by her companions, Michelle became more and more alienated from her companions and had to stay alone. Most of the time, she just lay on the blanket and sighed and talked to herself. Because of the growing emotional distance between Michelle and her traveling companion, even the kidnappers didn't punish her after she disobeyed again. Because they have realized how isolated Michelle is among the hostages, there is no need to make an example of her.
Michelle died silently, and the group (including kidnappers) became more harmonious and caring, which can be seen from the smiles in the photos of kidnappers and hostages. Hostage Mark Heidi said: "It's not that Michelle finally stopped making us nervous, but that we have seen that if we can't get along well and cooperate with each other, it will lead to worse consequences."

Share the success of others with an open mind, and affirm others with an appreciative eye, and your life realm will be improved; Getting along well with others and cooperating well can establish healthy and harmonious interpersonal relationships.

A person who is always thinking about his own gains and losses, a person who is always wary of others, and an arrogant person will never feel the happiness of getting along and cooperating.
