in class

The teacher spat on the podium, and you and other students took notes desperately. The textbook was full of all kinds of crooked words and symbols. At this time, you looked up and saw two or three students in the class, not playing with mobile phones, not talking, not reading extracurricular books, but listening to the teacher quietly.

You secretly laughed at them. If you can learn by listening, then why do we have to take notes and draw the key points?

When the first exam came out, I found that they were all in the top of the class. At this time, you think to yourself: Maybe this is genius!

A few years later,

When I first came to the workplace, I worked hard for the company and got up early to get greedy. You believe that your superiors can see your efforts, that your efforts will not be in vain, that you can get good grades, and finally get a promotion and salary increase, and marry Bai to the peak of your life. At this time, you find that there is such a colleague in the company who is lazy every day, the table is the most messy in the company, and he drinks coffee leisurely from time to time. You don't look like a leader, and you think to yourself: Maybe it's just fooling around.

On the day when the company's performance is announced, you will know that the "muddling along" person has always had the best performance. Think again at this time, maybe it's another genius!

Later I learned that they are not geniuses, but lazy ants.

Lazy ant effect:

The evolutionary biology research group of Hokkaido University in Japan observed the activities of three black ant colonies composed of 30 ants. Turns out. Most ants are diligent in finding and carrying food, but a few ants are idle and look around all day. People call these ants "lazy ants".

Interestingly, when biologists mark these "lazy ants" and cut off the food source of the ant colony, those ants who usually work hard are at a loss, while "lazy ants" step forward and lead the ants to the new food source they have detected. It turns out that lazy ants spend most of their time on reconnaissance and research. They can observe the weakness of the organization and constantly explore new foods, thus ensuring that the group can continuously obtain new food sources. (Baidu explained)

Many people know the lazy ant effect, and there is a classic saying:' lazy' is in sundries and thinking hard.

Many people in life are lazy, and it is hard to find anyone lazier than them. They still can't do everything well

It turns out that lazy ants are lazy because they are diligent in thinking and have no time to do chores, rather than "lazy in chores" and "diligent in thinking". Remember never to put the cart before the horse.

As an individual

Einstein, a great scientist in the 20th century, has poor self-care ability, and is often unkempt and disheveled. He is a typical "lazy" person in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is this kind of "lazy" person who founded the world-famous "Theory of Relativity" when he was less than 30 years old and ranked among the greatest scientists in the 20th century. Einstein's laziness in life just made him diligent in science. If people demand perfection and Einstein becomes a "perfect man" in the eyes of ordinary people, then mankind will lose an outstanding scientist. Einstein was not too lazy to tidy himself up, but too busy thinking about experiments to care about himself.

Laziness is only superficial, and hard work is true.

Some people look lazy, but they work hard at heart.

We should also be a "lazy ant" and use our brains diligently. In the process of learning, be diligent in thinking and draw inferences from others.

Many people study hard and subscribe to many official WeChat accounts. But after reading it, you forget all about it. Obviously, it is sobering to watch it, but it is not used in life. You still can't do a lot of things well, so you have to admit that your brain is not that good, you can't learn and you can't remember.

Ask yourself, you really work hard to brush an article and read a book. Your greedy study makes you feel that you have learned a lot. In fact, the articles, books, famous sayings of various bosses and so on you read. You have more than you can chew. You don't think deeply about knowledge. You infer the knowledge inside and relate it to your life. You look at other people's top operations, but fantasize that you have the same background as the other party to play, instead of thinking about your own life.

You do some useless efforts and thinking, so that all efforts are equal to zero.

You should also be a lazy ant in the workplace. In particular, the seemingly unrealistic "lazy ants" in strategic areas (strategic planning department, market analysis department and customer research department) will help the company greatly at critical times. ) or technology research and development. Of course, you can also be a lazy ant in other departments. As long as you are diligent in thinking, you can improve your work efficiency.

Ordinary people in the workplace are usually caught up in a busy daily life, busy conveying various tasks. Over time, it is easy to see only the immediate specific affairs, while ignoring the changes in the external environment, losing sensitivity to the outside world and thinking about new things. It's easy to lose your vision and the overall situation, and let your career path stop here.

Laziness pays more attention to work efficiency.

Let them devote themselves to their work and give full play to their greatest value.

? Find lazy ants and reuse them, but don't ignore diligent ants. If people in the company can only think, no one can do it.

Here we can follow the 28 rule. 20% lazy ants and 80% diligent ants. Let them work together and cooperate with each other, so that they can give full play to their best abilities.

Managers should be a lazy ant, diligent in thinking, discovery, planning, organization and innovation, not just in chores.

Remember, laziness is because you think hard and have no time to do housework.
