No matter rich or poor, high or low status, everyone has the secret to gain a foothold in the world. These laws enable people to find a place in society and develop their own sky. As one of the classic animations, "Tom and Jerry" can be said to have accompanied the growth of most of us born in the 90s. Until now, you will occasionally look for it and refresh it again. The animation series of Tom and Jerry has a strong vitality and is currently being renovated and reworked to improve the picture quality. As a weakling, Jerry has been looking for his own rules of survival in order to survive at the hands of Tom and other animals. So what are his rules of survival?

As a "good old guy", he takes the initiative to help other weak people

Many people will suspect that Jerry is the weak one and is tired every day. Even if he can help others by taking time off, what ability does he have to help others? In his and Tom's playbook, he worked out some rules. When Tom was chasing after him desperately, he was able to find some animals weaker than himself, and after he dumped Tom, he appeared in front of them in time to help. The most important thing is that he does not need to take the initiative. In the animation, Tom not only targets Jerry, but also the ducklings who often appear in the show. Jerry can gain fame and fortune by helping small animals when they are being bullied. As a good old man, Jerry often appears around these weak creatures, but his help is not pure help, but very purposeful.

“There is strength in numbers.”

Jerry especially liked this quote. He knows that as a mouse, he is weak in the eyes of other creatures, so he takes the initiative to help other animals and protect himself. Chopsticks are easy to break, but no matter how hard you try, chopsticks are hard to break. He needs other small animals as eyes. Being chased by Tom every day is very tiring and always passive. But with other animals, Tom's attention will be diverted to the weak and ignorant animals, so Jerry can know Tom's location and formulate a plan to fight back.

From this perspective, my friends may feel that Jerry is said to be a bit dark, which may not be acceptable. But I would say this is reality. Jerry, who seems to be the boss behind the scenes, is just a piece of meat and a walking dinner in the eyes of others. What about us in real life? We are in the hands of others.

We will look for more powerful animals and reach business cooperation

The so-called business cooperation is to seek mutual benefits so that they can live a better life and survive. And our Jerry can be said to be a master in this matter. When he is not sure about fighting Tom, he will go out to find stray cats and form a balanced relationship with Tom. The stray cats outside know that if Tom is successfully kicked out of the house and shows his worth to the heroine, he can replace Tom as a domestic cat and have good living conditions. Compared with Tom, the stray cat is obviously less intelligent and can save itself.

Find greater power.

As a regular on the show, the dog is the stronger choice. Jerry hid in the dog, seeking its protection. In return, it helps the dog gain the exclusive favor of its owner and helps the dog's son, thereby achieving cooperation and mutual benefit. Find the absolute ruler, who is undoubtedly the head of the family. He makes a mess and lets Tom catch him, successfully getting Tom to make a mess in the house, much to the annoyance of the mistress. Jerry stayed in front of his master obediently, forming a sharp contrast, and successfully saved his life and survived safely. This is similar to most of us. Find a partner, everyone performs their own duties, and finally make profits together, that is the real win-win situation.

Take it when you are too good and leave a line for the other party

This can be seen everywhere in the play and has the most interpretations. Every time I finish chasing, I am exhausted. Jerry always "realized cowardice" for the first time, bowed to Tom, took the initiative to show weakness, and acknowledged Tom's identity as the eldest brother. This move will make Tom feel very comfortable. He will instantly become a big brother with a younger brother, and he will temporarily give up chasing Jerry. After all, Tom is the eldest brother and will not easily embarrass his younger brother.

It is not unusual for Jerry to kill Tom in the show.

However, when Jerry successfully fights him, he does not push Tom into despair. He left Tom with a cat-like face and dignity. After all, you can’t accomplish much if you don’t look up every day. We live in this society, no matter what conflict occurs, leaving a line is respect for the opponent and oneself. Perhaps because of this move, we turn our backs on our friends and gain new partners. Of course, don't throw your hands away for those who are not pure in nature. The saying "the grass is cut without uprooting it, and the spring breeze is high" also applies here.
