For the "inner volume" of the ancients, look at how Confucius evaluated it

In fact, the phenomenon of "inner volumes" is not unique to the present era, as early as 2,500 years ago, there were records about inner volumes in the Analects.

"Zi Yue: Shoot the main skin, for the force of different disciplines, the ancient way also." From the Analects of the Eight Nobles.

The meaning of this sentence is that the archery rules that have been passed down since ancient times are not aimed at shooting through the target, because everyone's strength is different, and the archery competition must be compared after all.

Because in ancient times, the target shooting was made of skin, the "skin" in the original text is the meaning of the target, because the archery competition in ancient times belonged to the aristocratic sport, very particular about etiquette, to "give way and rise, down and drink", when on the stage, first have to make concessions to each other, after shooting also need to drink a cup together, to show friendship.

Therefore, some people also interpret this sentence as: shooting through the target is rude behavior, not elegant and decent, Confucius believes that it does not conform to the "ancient way".

The "Lord" in the original sentence can be understood as the main and secondary, and the main pursuit of archery is accuracy, but some people are not addicted to the accuracy of the game, and they have to compete again, and one person takes the lead, and soon forms a trend, so it is rolled up.

This is very much like the real-life inner volume, some people do their own work well and take the initiative to work overtime, grab some of the work of other teams, those people are like showing off "I not only shoot accurately, but also shoot through the target", the party being rolled up naturally will not sit still after having a sense of crisis, and the atmosphere will naturally be tense in the long run.

In the terminology of project management, there is a word called "gilding", which means blindly expanding the scope of the project, such as building a bridge, the result is that the bridge progress is very fast, and the result is a hot head to command the engineering team to repair the road by the way, which seems to be a very good thing, but this is a taboo in project management.

Because the risk caused by gold plating is very uncontrollable, there are some immature project managers, in order to show their own ability, so that the project cost surges, the cycle becomes longer, the overall program is affected, from the perspective of big data, very little gilded work is helpful to the overall project, so one of the important principles of project management is not to be gilded.

The wisdom of the ancients is worth learning from us, do things to distinguish between the main and secondary, archery is a sport of competition accuracy, then make a good fuss about accuracy, if you have the strength, you can go to the wrestling field to try your hand, blind competition, but with a biased atmosphere is very undesirable.
