If you want to change a satisfactory second-hand house, what is the trick?
To answer this question, the hermit crab has the best answer.
A hermit crab that has to replace dozens of houses in a lifetime, the experience of changing houses extracted is appropriately applicable to buyers who need to buy second-hand houses.
The hermit crab's trick has three main points:
1, the first hand is strong, the opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again.
2. Have a clear goal, insist on fighting, and never relax the confidence of changing houses. The hermit crab who grabs the excellent property is not the richest and most powerful one, but the one with the most motivation and the most wanting to change houses.
3, the third point is also the most easily overlooked point, when changing houses, personal strength is too thin, relying on the strength of community groups to find a good house.
strike first
In the ocean, a tulip snail is foraging for food. Its snail shell is a house that the hermit crab likes, but the hermit crab does not have the strength to kill the snail to seize the shell, all it needs to do is wait, wait for an empty shell without snail meat. It didn't take long for the hermit crab to soon wait for a rare and good opportunity. A large King Red Spiral took a fancy to the tulip snail and planned to put it in his belly as dinner. The delicious little snail could not escape the pursuit of the Great Heavenly King with orange-red flesh and fell into the tiger's mouth.
At this time, the hermit crabs around them ran over, waiting for the Great Heavenly King to eat the flesh of the small snail and throw out its shell. The freshly baked shell is hot, and this is the closest to a new house. Several hermit crabs all looked at this house and gathered around the King of Heaven's red spiral, waiting for the new house to fall from the sky, just hitting themselves.
There are so many competitors, there is only one house, what to do? A brave hermit crab decides not to wait any longer, and it will take the initiative to grab the house. Putting yourself in the mouth of the King's Red Spiral snail is a huge adventure, after all, the hermit crab is also a food option in the Diet of the Great King. But fortunately, the big king who had just eaten the snail meat let go of the hermit crab this time, and the hermit crab who seized the first hand harvested a new second-hand house.
The winner who risked his life to grab the house told you the first guideline for replacing the second-hand house, a good house will not wait for anyone, and it is necessary to start as soon as possible.
Although the law of the jungle is far more brutal and crude than the market rules with legal restrictions, the competitive driving force for robbing scarce resources is essentially no different.
Grab the property under the disadvantage
Now let's look at the Law of the Jungle, another house-snatching battle.
The hermit crab, which cannot find a suitable snail shell, will have to live in a broken shell. The hermit crab, who lives in a broken house, is in worse health than his companions who live in a good house. The hermit crab hiding in a broken house, without a full sense of security, will reduce the number of times it goes out to forage, resulting in insufficient nutrient intake and low metabolic rate.
The biology team of the National University of Mexico collected a bunch of hermit crabs from the seaside, half of which lived in broken houses and the other half in good houses. The team took the hermit crabs back to the lab to test their physical strength.
An empty screw shell is placed in the middle of the laboratory site, attached to an instrument that measures pressure. The hermit crab that participated in the test was driven out of its old snail shell and forced to move into the test snail shell to show its muscular strength. Two hermit crabs of the same size, one with a damaged shell and the other with an intact shell. The results of the strength tests were in line with the biologists' expectations, and the hermit crabs living in broken houses were weaker in muscle strength than their companions living in good houses.
Before the experiment was over, the team put the hermit crabs living in different houses into groups of heads and groups. The hermit crab, who lived in a broken house, ran to his companion and beat its shell vigorously, trying to drive his companion out of its shell. The hermit crabs, who live in good houses, rise up and defend their sovereignty.
The results of the battle between the two of them were unexpected by the biologists, and the hermit crab, with stronger muscle strength and better health, could not defeat its companions living in broken houses. The powerful hermit crab is driven out of the good house and gives way to the less powerful companion. If a hermit crab that grabs a good house encounters another companion to rob its new home, it will desperately guard the hard-won house, even if the crab's leg is broken, it will not give up its new home.
The hermit crab, which has lived in a broken house for a long time, attaches great importance to the good life brought by the new house, and it has more passion and motivation to fight than its strong companions. The hermit crab in a broken house is more aggressive and is good at winning in situations where it is clearly inferior.
The hermit crab who grabs a good house under the disadvantage tells you the second criterion for replacing the second-hand house, and the initiative is more important than the strength. Stick to the battle, don't let go of the confidence to change houses to find a good house.
In the jungle where the weak eat the strong, strength is not an indomitable weapon, and there are many inspirational cases of inferior species counterattacking.
Rely on the strength of the collective
Jungle life is not a history of individual struggle alone, and the cohesion of weak races into a collective is the basis for doing great things. The same guideline applies when changing second-hand homes.
On a small island in the Caribbean, a hermit crab found a clean and complete empty snail shell, but this shell was too large for it to live in. The hermit crab did not leave the large snail shell disappointed, but stayed by, waiting for other passing companions.
1, 2, 3 companions came, and then more companions came. A hermit crab begins to line up according to the size of the head, the large one in front of the row and the small one behind the row. A few hours later, a hermit crab suitable for the size of an empty snail shell came running over.
When the time comes, the collective house change action begins. From large to small, hermit crabs change their second-hand houses one by one. The chain reaction of this set of trading shells, officially called the vacancy chain reaction, refers to a series of filling actions spontaneously formed by organisms when sharing limited resources.
The hermit crab spends hours waiting in line, and after being properly prepared, the vacant chain can be opened in a few seconds, like overturning a row of dominoes, brushing the ground to complete the collective room change operation. While waiting in line, there is also an interesting thing, the hermit crab in the back row will climb to the shell in the front row to check the condition of the house it is about to change in advance, and the companion in the front row will obediently tolerate its survey behavior.
The hermit crab of the collective change of house tells you the third criterion for changing the second-hand house, relying on the strength of the group, you can save the time of looking for a listing and quickly find a good house that suits you. Jungle life is not blindly predatory, but also the mutual help of peers and the sharing of precious limited resources.
There are 800 species of hermit crabs in the world, both in the ocean and on land. Hermit crabs that live in the ocean change their shells far more frequently than land crabs. There is no shortage of conch and conch shells in the sea, and the hermit crab is like shopping in a shopping square with abundant goods, and when you see a good-looking snail shell, you can change it 3 times a day. The hermit crabs living on land are different, the land lacks snail shell resources, and a second-hand snail shell is passed on to several hermit crabs, and sometimes it is nestled in an inappropriate small snail shell. The land hermit crab can better experience the hardships of changing houses and has a richer experience of changing houses.
If you're planning to start a second-hand home, the experience of the land hermit crab is worth learning.
Well, the secret of the hermit crab changing houses will be discussed here first.
Follow the French is Bacon and explain the secrets of nature to you, see you in the next issue.
