Painters are good at subtraction. He is Picasso.

Picasso loved painting cows all his life. When he was young, the cows he painted were lifelike and lifelike. Once, Picasso drew a cow in the field, and a yellow cow was eating grass in the field. The cow caught a glimpse of the cow in the picture, stared at it for a while and ran away. From then on, Picasso was called a cow. Later, the cows painted by Picasso became more and more concise, with prominent bones and muscles and delicate brushwork. In his later years, Picasso painted only a few cows, minus all the fur and flesh, leaving only a skeleton.

It is these cows with only skeletons that have become Picasso's pinnacle. Picasso said that his success came from subtraction. One entrepreneur is also good at subtraction. He is Jobs.

1997, when Jobs returned to Apple after a long absence of 12 years, Apple was in a serious crisis. Jobs called an executive meeting and asked. Tell me what happened to this place. Before anyone could answer, he suddenly cried,? The problem lies in the product. Apple has too many products. ? He believes that Apple's product line is too long and its energy is too scattered, which leads to the inability to make fine products. As a result, Jobs resolutely cut off most of Apple's projects, including Newton ·PDA, which made Apple's last glory. After subtracting these items, Apple focused on making mobile phones, defeated one opponent after another, and shaped the status of the industry leader today.

It focuses on an area that has made Apple what it is today. Jobs also said that his success came from subtraction.

One president is also good at subtraction. He's Reagan.

At the beginning of Reagan's tenure, the United States was in an economic crisis, with stagnant production, rising prices and sharp decline in fiscal revenue, which can be described as domestic troubles and foreign invasion. No one expected that Reagan's first move turned out to be tax cuts, the second move was to reduce government approval projects, and the third move was to cut government functions. Reagan used subtraction to stimulate the vitality of the market when it seemed that addition was needed to strengthen management. Since then, the American economy has entered a new round of take-off.

It is precisely because of ignoring some things that should not be managed that the United States has come out of the crisis. Similarly, Reagan's success came from subtraction.

If life is addition, it will be difficult to stop in a hurry, and in the end it will only make the body tired and the mind burdened. If life is subtraction, slow down, relax your nerves, remove obstacles, let go of pressure and pour out your troubles, success lies in looking back suddenly. So successful people often use subtraction.
