In the past ten years, friends have been recommending the TV series Heaven and its original novel The Distant Savior to me.
This novel has integrated the ideas of various religions, and the core philosophical theory of its protagonist Ding Yuanying is the strong culture.
is this advanced?
actually, it's not advanced!
why do you say that?
In the capital market where the protagonist was originally engaged, in the stock market, he played a zero-sum game. Some people earned money and some people lost it. The strong one succeeded and the weak one was cut.
the core of this culture is: competition!
people who are suspected by the industry to be the real author or prototype of this novel, even more talented than the protagonist in this novel, are entangled in Zen.
He was proficient in capital operation, poetry, music and articles, but he died young in the end.
why?
Causal cycle. He made a lot of money when he was a farmer. How many people were miserable as a result?
the core point behind a strong culture is: zero-sum game!
If you win, you lose
If you win yourself, you need others to lose
This culture can only be hegemony, not kingship!
Many people always need to find a competitor and then try to surpass them. This is a low-level thinking of binary opposition.
Just like the United States, it always wants to find an imaginary competitor to fight. Now it has locked in China and tried every means to suppress and restrict the development of China.
and China?
never regarded the United States as a competitor!
why?
what China pursues is not surpassing the United States, but constantly surpassing itself, making itself better and better, and making its partners around it better and better.
in other words, the United States plays a zero-sum game, while China plays a * * * win game.
*** winning is a very advanced thinking.
international relations are like this, and people-to-people relations are the same.
Be a man, don't compare with others. People are better than others, which makes people angry!
The most important thing for a person is to compare with himself. It is a good thing that he is constantly improving.
what about doing business?
It's the same. Too many companies stare at their competitors every day, slowly forgetting their users, and finally win the competition, but lose to the times.
We shouldn't have competitors in our eyes, but we should put user value first, so that around user value, we can keep innovating and gain lasting vitality.
some teachers will be unhappy when others copy their own courses, but I am a completely opposite person, but I will feel happy, which shows that my methods have been recognized and welcomed.
The Internet market is so big that none of us can meet all the market demands. It is enough to do a good job in the market within our own ability.
So, in my eyes, there has never been competition. As long as users demand, as long as they can constantly innovate and provide value to users, they will always have their own small market.
in the past twenty years, I have also been advocating to be small and beautiful, thus helping to build enterprises and experts in many sub-fields.
Do what you like, not to be big, but to be strong and lasting. In this process, it is the most meaningful thing to always enjoy doing what you like.
Recently, I am doing a knowledge realization training camp. On the one hand, my purpose is to directly copy my marketing experience to those talented people and let them turn their talents into wealth. At the same time, I also want to pass on many beautiful ideas to more people through them.
For example:
Goals are tools and happiness is the goal!
words and deeds are consistent, altruistic without self, beautiful in heart and self-satisfied!
