There is a distinction between the abilities and abilities of people.
High-rank people can basically eat low-rank people. And low-rank people, if they want to get rid of the control of high-rank people, they can only improve their rank. Others, there is no choice.
Take "strategic mental art" as an example, I believe that many people hate strategic mental art and think that this thing is particularly complicated. However, even if we hate it, we can't hide from it.
If we don't use scheming to protect ourselves, then others will use scheming to calculate us. The so-called "people do not hurt the tiger, and the tiger harms people's hearts" is this truth.
You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people. If you want to be able to prevent people, first of all, you need to improve your own awareness. Secondly, you need to improve your rank.
These 4 high-level imperial mental techniques are the key to eating and mixing well.
1. The art of checks and balances.
What is the key to the Emperor's Mind Technique? It is "checks and balances". The situation can only be maintained if all parties remain evenly matched. Otherwise, it is prone to huge variables.
In "Journey to the West", there is a detail: Rulai and Guanyin only let Sun Wukong wear a golden hoop, but did not let Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha wear a golden hoop.
What does this mean? If there is no shackle of the golden hoop, Sun Wukong is the only existence in the scripture-learning team, and even Tang Seng is difficult to control him. This can lead to an imbalance.
Only by putting a golden hoop on Sun Wukong and letting Tang Sanzang learn the mantra of tightening the hoop will Sun Wukong be obedient, and the strength of the various factions of the scripture-learning team can maintain balance and not cause contradictions.
Sun Wukong, who wore a golden hoop, only listened to Tang Seng's words. At the same time, because Sun Wukong's strength is stronger than that of Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha, he can control the weak with the strong and eat these two people to the death. The experience-learning team was completely checked and balanced.
Checks and balances, in fact, are very easy to understand, do not let A be too strong, and do not let B be too weak, the two sides are evenly matched, and no one can eat anyone, this is a typical check and balance.
Second, slap first, then sweet dates.
Human nature has a characteristic, which likes to suppress first and then promote. For example, when reading a novel, the content at the beginning is a tragedy, and the final result is a happy ending, people will be satisfied without any regrets.
According to the human nature of first suppressing and then promoting, someone has put forward the idea that if you want to control a person, you need to slap him first, and then give him benefits.
Here's an example. During the meeting, the boss criticized you and beat you down. At this time, you will be especially angry and resentful of your boss because your self-esteem has been trampled on.
Afterwards, the boss finds you and tells you, "You are my valued subordinate, and so-and-so position is reserved for you, don't take today's matter to heart." After listening to the boss's words, you will immediately be so excited that you forget what happened before.
Regardless of whether the boss's promise is fulfilled or not, as long as you choose to believe the boss, the boss's purpose has been achieved. Just one sentence can change a person's mindset and thoughts.
It can be seen that the act of giving a slap first and then a sweet date is always applicable. Because human beings are creatures that "don't remember". Just one painting a big pie can trick many people.
Third, if you don't know, your heart is unpredictable.
The lower the level and the more capable people are, the more they have no city government. And the higher the status and ability, the deeper the city. The latter is often settled on the former.
The strong, why do they all attach importance to the city? Because the city is like the clothes on the people's bodies, and it is also a fig leaf. If you have a city, others won't be able to see through you. Without a city, others will be able to see through you.
There is a famous saying in "The Left Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period": "Punishment is unknowable, and the power is unpredictable." "Only if you don't know the rules and don't understand the consequences of the rules, then you will be in awe of the rules.
This is the deterrent that "mystery" brings to people. The same is true of people. If you can't see through the boss and don't know what the boss is going to do next, then you will respect the boss and won't do anything out of the ordinary.
You look at Cao Cao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a corporal who was courteous and virtuous, and a murderer in a good dream, no one knew what Cao Cao was going to do next, so no one dared to disobey Cao Cao's will. Even Xun Yu is either obedient or finished.
This is in line with the "difficult to know as yin" in the Art of War. Only by concealing and not letting others know can we surprise and attack them unprepared, or directly surrender the army without a fight.
Fourth, black and white, good and evil.
When you come into contact with more people, you will find that the weak like to talk about good and evil, while the strong do not talk about good and evil. Because the weak have no choice, they can only choose the good. And the strong have a choice, they are all a combination of good and evil.
How to understand it? Look at the self-made Han Gaozu Liu Bang and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, do you think these two people are good people or evil people? It is impossible to evaluate because they are both good and evil.
Liu Bang, when he entered Xianyang City, came to a "Three Chapters of the Law", which was directly passed on, which is good. After pacifying the world, not only did he kill Han Xin, Peng Yue and others, but even Fa Xiao and the old brothers did not let go, which was decisive.
Zhu Yuanzhang is simple and never extravagant and wasteful, which is good. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he directly overthrew Lord Huaixi, knowing that Li Shanchang and Lan Yu were wronged, and he wanted to kill them, which was decisive.
It can be seen that the real strong man has both a white side and a black side. Only by using both black and white, good and evil, can we stand out in the cruel world of competition.
There is no absolute good and evil in this world, some are just "the law of the jungle".
