In a commercial society, people often harvest from each other. This process of "harvesting" is especially acute in ordinary families, as they often do not have much resistance. Everything they do, it seems, is being manipulated by someone else. For example, when a group of people are all doing something, the average person tends to follow in their footsteps without considering whether it is good for them or not. This kind of behavior is called herd mentality, that is, under the influence of the behavior of the outside crowd, one's own perception, judgment and cognition show a way of behaving in line with public opinion or the majority. This lack of personal assertiveness leads to the roots of the harvesting of ordinary people. The average family has fallen into three traps in the current investment landscape. The first is to fall into the trap of "blind chicken baby". In recent years, with the intensification of involution, a new word has emerged, "chicken baby". This refers to the fact that parents arrange various learning activities for their children in order to do well in exams, and even push them excessively. If a colleague enrolls their child in a cram school, parents will feel a sense of crisis and will sign up for their child. Some parents don't even know what their children are suitable for, so they let them participate in a variety of different cram classes in order not to lose at the starting line.
However, this kind of blind chicken baby behavior is often meaningless and has the potential to backfire. There is a case of chicken babies in Beijing, the children are 30 years old, and their parents have spent millions of dollars on training for them, but their wages are no different from ordinary people, and even the parents' investment has not been earned. The real reason why ordinary families are crazy is that their current anxiety is getting worse and worse, causing them to follow what they see others doing. However, the real chicken baby should be based on the child's strengths to develop a reasonable training method, rather than blindly following the trend. The second is to fall into the trap of "high-level pick-up". Recently I saw a video that tells the story of a young couple in Chongqing. With the strength of two families, they managed to raise a down payment and pay a monthly mortgage of 15,000. When buying a house, both the husband and wife's income are able to cover the monthly payment. However, as the real estate market changed, the husband lost his job. The wife felt that she was not unemployed and could barely pay the mortgage. However, soon after, the wife also lost her job. The couple could not continue to pay the mortgage, so they could only sell the house at a price of hundreds of thousands.
In the video, the wife cries that the couple has lost tens of millions without doing anything, which is a lot of money that many people struggle to earn in their lifetimes. This story shows us the dangers of high pick-ups. Originally, it would have been good for the couple to live a peaceful life, but since they were misled into believing in the notion that "taking out a loan to buy a house equals a happy marriage", it was inevitable that they would be harvested. Therefore, we should do what we can when doing things, and do not blindly follow the trend. The deep waters of the market are not something that ordinary people can see. In the end, I fell into the trap of "superstitious successology". In recent years, there has been a science called successology. Whether online or offline, you've been told that you can succeed if you take their classes or read their books. I had a colleague who specialized in successology, and he revealed to me the routine. First, be clear about the topics you want to teach, such as opening a store or managing money. Then, find the target users and tap into potential users. Next, highlight the core of making money, and make the other party believe that as long as others can succeed, they can also succeed. Finally, display the number of applicants to create a sense of urgency and anxiety. These four steps are enough to attract many people who are eager to make money to take the bait.
This fully validates the saying: "You want to earn some pocket money, and others want to get your principal." "Superstitious successology itself is a form of confusion. Think about it, in this day and age, will anyone tell outsiders the secret of really making money? The projects and secrets that really make money are in the hands of a few elites. The so-called "fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders". No one will teach you how to succeed, because success is not taught by others, but through your own practice, and others cannot help you. In general, the biggest weakness of modern man is to go with the flow. In the business society, we should not think in an emotional way, but in a rational way, and combined with the mercenary in human nature, we will find that some things are not as simple as imagined. The marine world can be used as an example, it is always the small fish and shrimp that go with the flow, and the small fish and shrimp that swallow the small fish and shrimp are the few big fish. It is not advisable to go with the flow, it is the root of being reaped. Therefore, we must remain rational and not follow the trend easily. The waters of commercial society are very deep, and it is not something that ordinary people can see.
Here are the comments made by several netizens on this:1. User A: I very much agree with the point in the article, modern people are easily troubled by various traps, we must keep a clear head and not follow the crowd. 2. User B: Blind chicken babies are indeed a problem, many parents do not know their children's strengths, so they blindly apply for various cram schools, which not only wastes time and money, but also brings huge pressure to children. 3. User C: Superstitious success is also a trap, there is no shortcut to success, only continuous efforts and practice can be achieved. Don't trust the so-called success courses and books. In general, we need to think rationally and not be swayed by the voices and actions of the outside world. Learn to discern what is really good for you, and don't blindly follow the trend. Only in this way can we avoid being harvested and realize our own value. Finally, I would like to ask you, how do you think you can avoid being harvested in the business world? What are your suggestions and opinions?
