Sun Tzu once said: "Those who borrow strength are clear, those who borrow wisdom are macro, and those who borrow power become successful." ”
In life, we must have the wisdom to borrow.
No matter how good a person is, there will be difficult things that cannot be solved.
Only by strengthening oneself with the help of external forces and external objects can we achieve a counterattack.
Borrowing strength, wisdom, and momentum is the biggest shortcut to success.

The strong borrow
Ge Hong Youyun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty: "If all forces are combined, it is not enough to lift everything." ”
With the help of others, even if it weighs 10,000 pounds, it is not difficult to lift.
In ancient times, there was a child who frolicked with his father in the courtyard.
Suddenly, the child sees a huge stone beside him and tries to lift it.
His father stood aside and did not come to his aid.
On the contrary, he also said comfortingly: "As long as you do your best, you will definitely be able to move!"
But the stone is huge, as if it weighs a thousand pounds.
Even if the child tried his best to feed, he still didn't move a bit.
Exhausted, the child stopped what he was doing and said to his father, "I have tried my best, but I still can't move." ”
But his father shook his head and said, "Otherwise, you haven't used all your strength, because you haven't asked me to help you." ”
The child's eyes lit up, and he asked for words in anticipation.
In the end, with the help of his father, the child lifted the heavy stone.
In this world, everyone is carrying a load.
Some people fight alone, but it is difficult to walk, and some people huddle together to keep warm, but they become stronger step by step.
You must know that everyone's power is limited, there will always be a time when it is exhausted, and there will always be a time when it is difficult to support it alone.
But often at the end of the effort, there is still borrowing.
Borrowing strength is not stealing, not being greedy, but asking for help calmly when you can't do it.
Only when you have the courage to ask for help can you have the confidence to overcome difficulties.
Just like a bamboo pole, it is easy to bend, but a pair of chopsticks is difficult to break.
Only by knowing how to borrow strength and make good use of the strength of others to increase one's own strength can we get twice the result with half the effort and move towards a brighter future.

Those who can borrow wisdom
In the Analects, it is written: "If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher." ”
To borrow wisdom is to borrow the wisdom of others to repair one's own body.
Learn from the best of others and become the best version of yourself.
During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Jiang Ziya was well-versed in the way of governing the country and securing the country.
However, the king was unbridled and cruel, and Jiang Ziya was unwilling to help him abuse, so he lived in seclusion in Weishui and fished on the stream every day.
Xibo Jichang was eager to seek talents, and when he heard about his talent, he immediately sent someone to invite him to help.
After repeated unsuccessful invitations, he personally came to invite Jiang Ziya out of the mountain.
Jiang Ziya was not only called Taigongwang by Ji Changzun, but also hired as a military advisor, and even Ji Chang pulled 800 steps for him.
Later, Jiang Ziya was moved by it and happily went out of the mountain to assist.
In the end, Xibo Jichang relied on Jiang Ziya's resourcefulness to overthrow the Shang Dynasty and establish the prosperous Zhou Dynasty.
In this world, ability has boundaries, and everyone has their own blind spots.
If you are blindly arrogant, you will come to an end in your old ways.
As the saying goes, "A wise man thinks a thousand times, and there must be a mistake." ”
No matter how outstanding a person is, it is difficult to achieve perfection, and even if he is knowledgeable, he has unattainable heights.
For example, Maxima can only show his talents through the appreciation of Bole, and only by borrowing the wisdom of others can he have new insights.
Only by knowing how to get closer to excellent people and standing on the shoulders of giants to see the world can we stand higher and go further.

The wise man took advantage of the situation
There is a saying in "The Art of War": "Those who are good at fighting seek to be in power." ”
Once upon a time, a hungry tiger was foraging in the forest, and he happened to catch a fox.
The fox saw that it was inevitable, and his eyes rolled and he thought about it.
When the hungry tiger was about to take his mouth, he shouted, "You can't eat me, I'm sent by heaven to be the king of beasts." ”
老虎听罢,半信半疑。
The fox said, "If you don't believe me, go around after me, and see if the beasts will run away when they see me." ”
The tiger thought for a long time before agreeing.
The fox walked in front with its head held high, and the tiger fluttered and fluttered closely behind.
When the beasts saw this, they scattered and fled.
The tiger believed it and was terrified, and when the fox was not paying attention, he ran away without a trace.
In the end, the fox took advantage of the tiger's might and saved his life.
Many times, choice is more important than effort.
If you choose to go against the trend, you will be crushed like a mayfly shaking a tree, and if you choose to take advantage of the trend to go up, you will be like a river traveling to the ground, a thousand miles a day.
Just like a boulder, because of the momentum of the mountains, it will accumulate terrible power, and the streams, controlled by the ground, will converge into rivers and seas.
A true wise man knows how to take advantage of the situation.
Before the wind comes, it will lie silently, and when the wind rises, it will ride the wind to continuously develop its potential and polish its skills.
Only by being good at taking advantage of the situation and breaking the shackles of oneself can one pry one's future and hold up an extraordinary life.

Success depends not only on one's own strength, but also on the use of external objects.
Although it is good to be able to cast stars with your own all-out efforts in life
But don't forget to look around while you're working hard.
The strength, wisdom and situation that may be able to be relied upon are only in front of us.
As written in "Persuasion": "A gentleman is not different, and he is good at things." ”
Only by borrowing strength can we achieve a win-win situation, by borrowing wisdom, we can avoid detours, and by taking advantage of the momentum, we can ride the wind and waves.
Being able to reap fruitful results at the lowest cost is the greatest foresight and wisdom.
