History is a grass platform

Sentence / Kodama

The world is a grass platform, most people's level is very water, this sentence also applies to history, many historical cattle people are actually passers-by at the beginning, it is the reality and environment that force him to grow fast-forward, continue to evolve, and finally get the result.

Generally speaking, people's achievements are determined by two factors, hard work and understanding, we have to admit that Han Xin can become a soldier immortal has enough talent, Huo Quzhi is a star as soon as he appears, and he also has enough understanding of war, Li Shimin can become a fierce man from the sky and upgrade all the way to fight monsters is also the superposition of the ancestors' excellent genes on him, and he can become a character on the spire, talent is often more important than hard work. Here's why Edison would say that 1 percent inspiration is more important than 99 percent perspiration.

But genetic advantages are only possessed by a small number of people, and most people who want to upgrade still have to take the road of hard work, and the reality is that many cattle people in history are actually forced by the environment to grow passively before they get the ticket to wealth.

Before Liu Bang started his business, everyone would think that he was well-informed and good at socializing, and would never associate him with the titles of politician and military strategist. In short, people will never associate Liu Bang with the grand scenes of expanding the territory and being called the king and emperor.

But Peixian's rebellion changed all that. Realistically speaking, there were many people in Pei County who were more suitable for the role of Gan Pei Gong than Liu Bang at that time, Xiao He's administrative management ability was super strong, Wang Ling and Yongya were local heroes, Cao Shen and Xiahou Ying were also people who had been mixed in the elite circle for a long time in the system, but Liu Bang was the only one who was between the system and the rivers and lakes, but he had more reckless temperament.

Out of defensive instinct and in order to avoid danger, the role of Pei Gong was finally determined to be Liu Bang. With becoming Pei Gong as a turning point, Liu Bang's life also drove into another tunnel, and he was forced by reality to constantly throw away his past self and upgrade in a fast-forward manner.

In order to survive, Liu Bang must connect with higher-level fierce people like Zhang Liang, Xiang Liang, and Xiang Yu, and learn to crisscross in the high-quality social field. With the continuous superposition of time, Liu Bang has been able to communicate with the elite very naturally, and summed up the methodology for controlling the elite.

Some people always say that they are afraid of society, that is, you are not forced to that role, if you are the leader of a company, you can't avoid those high-end bureaus, and even have to try new things in person for the future of the team, such as the current short video.

As for whether you will fight or not, you don't have to think about it at all, when you go to the battlefield, the instinct of survival will command you to quickly learn war, understand war, and become a professional military talent.

Looking at Liu Bang's entrepreneurial career, defeating battles is almost commonplace, even if Liu Bang feels that his face can't be hung up, he still has to pick up the sword and continue to go to the battlefield, and after losing battles a lot, he has become a professional-level general.

The reason why Liu Bang was able to successively cut off Yingbu, Chen Feng and other heroes of the world after the establishment of the Han Dynasty is because he has completed the iterative upgrade in the long-term game with Xiang Yu, and has evolved from a military novice to a professional-level general.

The fastest way to learn war is to go to the battlefield bravely, and learn war in war, where the environment and survival instincts will force you to evolve every day.

Just like running, as long as you open your legs and appear on the field, the Matthew effect will gradually occur under the effect of time, and the more you run, the more you can run, the easier it will be.

As for the political level, Liu Bang was also forced to grow up. In Pei Gong's position, he thought about how to maintain the survival of the team, but after becoming the king of Han, he was thinking about the problem of development, how to make the cake bigger in the sinister political environment, and after becoming Emperor Han Gao, he had to come up with his own plan for those institutional designs.

Not to mention what kind of genius Liu Bang is, he can implement the dual-track system of counties and counties, can implement the policy of governing without doing anything and resting with the people in the economy, and can use the card of the princes of the Liu family to suppress the military merit faction, in fact, at that time, Xiao He or others could still come up with such a plan. Because, reality forced Liu Bang not to wipe mud at work.

It is very accurate to describe Liu Bang's growth process by learning and selling. Therefore, you will never be completely ready for anything, and the only way is to go directly to the battlefield and force yourself to grow in a sinister environment.

Even mental strength is something that can be practiced. In the Chu-Han hegemony, no matter how desperate Liu Bang was, he had to set off bravely again after a good night's sleep, even if he was seriously injured, he had to come forward to stabilize the army's heart, others could pick on him, but he couldn't. When there was a lot of despair, Liu Bang's heart was wrapped in a layer of iron sheet, and he became the most honest person at that time.

It can be seen that both the inner psychological quality and the external professional level can be acquired through deliberate practice.

However, after all, Liu Bang belongs to the kind of person who is extremely gifted and perceptive, and belongs to the probability case in the crowd, but Fan Hao and Zhou Bo can be used to verify the theory of deliberate practice.

When they were in Fengyi, Fan Xu and Zhou Bo were the kind of extremely ordinary passers-by, maybe people like Yongya and Wang Ling didn't bother to look at them more, and of course, they couldn't be associated with excellent generals at all.

But since they followed Liu Bang to the uprising in Peixian, everything has changed, Fan Xu is no longer a butcher, Zhou Bo is no longer a folk agitator, they must learn to survive in the cruel war.

From protecting themselves, to being able to kill the enemy, to becoming a vanguard who can charge, and finally becoming a general who can lead the army independently, this is not an active counterattack, but passive growth, and it is the cruel war that forces them to complete the construction of a new identity attribute - general.

Fan Hao also belongs to passive growth Image source/stills

From this, we can conclude that any professional level can be obtained through deliberate practice, and passive growth is the best.

So, don't say you don't understand war, you don't have weapons, when you go to war, you have everything. Just like doing business, when you take the initiative, relevant customers will show up.

In the past two years, there has been a popular saying - the world is a grass platform, this sentence also applies to history, look at those founding heroes of the past dynasties, most of them were born in the grass, but they became professionals and regular soldiers as they walked.

This model is a process of working backwards from the results.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not the same, the change in his life started from the moment he walked out of Huangjue Temple to join the Red Turban Army, and then it happened from a small soldier, to a general, to a commander, and then to become the iteration of King Wu and Emperor Hongwu, which also followed the law of deliberate practice and passive growth.

It is Zeng Guofan, if Emperor Xianfeng did not let him run a regimental exercise, he would not be able to have a connection with the military in his life, but since the day he held the regimental training, he must consider survival, development, and winning the battle.

Realistically speaking, Zeng Guofan's military level is also the experience accumulated from defeat, without despair on the battlefield, without the experience of jumping into the river to commit suicide, without the desperate situation of the siege of Qimen, it is difficult for Zeng Guofan to grow into a commander-level figure.

As long as he goes to the battlefield, a scholar can also become a general.

Even a fierce man like Qianlong is a case of being forced to grow up by the environment. Because Yongzheng is a top player who has come over in the cruel competition of nine sons, he can skillfully control the Qing Dynasty as soon as he comes up. However, because Qianlong studied in the palace all the year round and had no experience in practical affairs, so after he ascended the throne at the age of twenty-five, he could not break out of the siege built by Zhang Tingyu and Ortai for a while, and in order to gain everyone's support, Qianlong even had to curry favor with the courtiers by negating some of Yongzheng's policies.

But the result was that Qianlong was further hollowed out by the courtiers. In order to break the situation, Qianlong could only figure out his own strategy, and then experiment one by one in actual work, and finally summed up his imperial technique.

Everyone said that Qianlong was a political machine that controlled the imperial system, but in fact, he was also forced to grow passively by the environment, and only with the record of defeating Zhang Tingyu and Ortai can his actual ability be upgraded.

There is a gap between people's careers and status in this world, but the logic of growth is still the same.

Take weight loss as an example, why Jia Ling was able to lose weight successfully, that is, she was forced by the environment to quickly fall off the scale, you think, so much capital investment, so many people's cooperation, just waiting for her to lose weight successfully, how much pressure is there, you have to grit your teeth and persevere, to achieve the effect that everyone wants.

It is also the logic of passive growth.

It can also be seen that passive is always better than active, and once anything is linked to survival and interests, it can also get results smoothly.

So, don't worry about people having a professional body management team, the essence of the difference between you and Jia Ling is an action - open your legs, and then persevere.

Many people in this world are learning as they go, learning and selling, never fully ready for the day. The masters have evolved from low-level players with special water. The reason why you can't become a master may be that the environment is not bad enough and the pressure is not so great.

What is the unity of knowledge and action, that is, you can only know if you can do it, and it is the real unity of knowledge and action, you can't do it, in essence, you still don't understand it.

The road is simple, there are no shortcuts in this world, and most people are forced by reality to evolve from rookies through deliberate practice. So, the best way to cross the chasm is to jump bravely.
