Where there are people, there are grievances. Where there are grievances, there are rivers and lakes. People are Jianghu. How to quit? Since you can't quit, hang out in the Jianghu, the legendary swordsman. Sun Tzu's Art of War gives us the answer. This is the role of Sun Tzu's Art of War, which guides us how to win in social games, rather than other technical things we are familiar with, such as thirty-six tricks. It is also the deepest philosophical thought and the most essential law of studying social game.
The Art of War has 13 articles. The following summarizes the main ideas in the first article of Sun Tzu's Art of War and expounds the inspiration in work and life. The first idea is also the most important part of the book, which has the function of making the finishing point.
The idea of winning is to calculate the strength before the war, and to have an advantage in strength and a high probability of winning by calculation, that is, to have a chance of winning, and then to attack; There is no chance of winning, try to accumulate strength and then accumulate the chance of winning. This is "win more and win less"
Generally speaking, the chance of winning is to defeat the strong with weakness, not to defeat the strong with weakness. We have heard too many stories about defeating the strong with the weak, and the stories are always exciting and yearning. The reason why it can be heard is that the weak are superior to the strong, and it is story-telling and wonderfully meets people's perceptual needs. However, defeating the strong with weakness is not the truth of this world, and defeating the strong with weakness is only a small probability event. The so-called success must be defeated. There are countless losers behind a successful case of defeating the strong with the weak, tens of thousands and tens of millions. People like to listen to the story of defeating the strong with the weak, just because we are weak and dream of having the opportunity to defeat the strong with some tricks, but this is exactly what Sun Tzu's Art of War opposes. Sun Tzu's art of war is about winning by strength.
Go back to Sun Tzu's idea of winning. The calculation of strength is mainly five things and seven plans. The following is the specific content.
Five things, one is Tao, the other is heaven, the third is earth, the fourth is will, and the fifth is law.
First, Tao. There are two meanings. Up and down the same desire, in line with objective laws.
The same desire up and down. As far as the enterprise is concerned, the team has the same mission, the same vision, the same values, and then it is overwhelming.
Obey objective laws. Objective law is the core of modern scientific research. Everything has its inherent laws. Scientific research is to discover laws, discover laws, explain laws and apply laws. For us personally, it is also to discover the law, adapt to the law and achieve the goal.
Second, God. Weather, timing. It is also a big environment and a big form.
The only constant in the world is always changing. For enterprise competition, it is necessary to adapt to the changes in policies and needs; For personal development, we need to consider the change of industry and the change of value point.
Third, land. Geographical location and resources.
Look up at the sky and keep your feet on the ground. For enterprises, the resources of each enterprise are limited, which limits the decision-making space, so it is necessary to make a reasonable positioning based on reality; For an individual, from birth, environment and genes have set a certain framework for the trajectory of human life. Psychological research, the differences between people, genetic factors accounted for 50%, environmental factors accounted for 50%. In this case, maybe we can't achieve some goals in our lifetime, so find our own position in society and maximize happiness, and don't aim too high.
Fourth, will. A general needs five qualities. Wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage and strictness.
Wisdom, wisdom. The wisdom here is great wisdom, not small cleverness. Great wisdom is the ability to understand the most essential laws of social operation and to use them freely to achieve their goals.
Faith, faith and honesty. Faith, perhaps one of the most powerful spiritual forces in the world, can make people form a huge energy regardless of cost and life and death. Honesty is mainly honesty to subordinates. Agree that you will be rewarded if you do it right, and that you will be punished if you do it wrong, without mercy.
Ren, to quote a word, has the interests of the other party in mind and has the ability to make it clear to the other party. This is true for subordinates and for everyone. It is not only the art of games, but also the philosophy of life.
Brave, adventurous and innovative.
Strict, strict and rigorous. Strict, strict law enforcement, dare to retreat, kill without forgiveness, so as to resist; Strict, pursuing high standards for things, pursuing the ultimate.
Fifth, the law. Organizational structure, command system, laws and regulations. This is also the category of management science now, the internal management and operation of enterprises. Proper management means teamwork; Improper management, it becomes a straggler, fragmented.
In short, five things can usually be understood as. Tao, what to do; Days, allowed not allowed to do; Land, have the ability to do, where to do; Yes, who will do it and who to do it with; How to do it. It can be applied to all aspects of our real life.
Seven measures, the master has the right path, who has the ability, who gets the heaven and earth, who acts the law, who is strong, who trains, and who rewards and punishments are clear.
Who is the master and who is the follower is to compare the factors of Tao between the two sides.
Who can match the general?
Which is heaven and earth? This is a better time and place.
What are the factors of law and comparative law?
Who is stronger among the soldiers? Compare the strength of personnel.
Who should practice foot soldiers than training ability?
Design and implementation of comparative reward mechanism.
? The above is the seventh of the five things. Compare seven factors and calculate the probability.
The calculation of five things and seven plans is exactly what we call strength comparison. The strength advantage is great, the probability of winning is high, and the odds are great, so you can fight the first world war. This is the essence of odds, and the core of all games is strength.
After you have the strength, you can give other strategies, such as layout, gathering momentum, authenticity, and surprisingly integrity. These strategies are the later wisdom in the book.
Sun Tzu said: more wins and less wins are nothing! From this perspective, we can see the results.
