In the workplace, we have been emphasizing the importance of personal efforts to future development, emphasizing that individuals must give 100% of their efforts to be able to improve. Because of this concept, many people just work hard and use brute force without knowing how to get the desired results. In fact, no matter under what conditions, it is difficult to achieve great achievements only by personal strength. When everyone is emphasizing "personal efforts", our thinking should not be too rigid. "personal efforts" are not limited to the use of personal strength. Think about whether "personal efforts" also include efforts to find strengths that can be used? When it comes to "borrowing", people generally only think of borrowing money and things. Today, I would like to remind you that we can also borrow strength from others.
Zhuang Wenzhan, a famous entrepreneur, once took his young son to the beach to play. His son wanted to remove a large stone on the beach, but he did not move the stone after much effort. At this time, Zhuang Wenzhan came over and asked him, "Why don't you use all your power?"
The son cried and said, "I used all my strength, I did my best."
Zhuang Wenzhan squatted down and said to his son, "Son, you didn't do your best. Because you didn't ask for my help!" After speaking, he picked up the stone and threw it into the distance.
A lot of things are like this, problems that you can't solve, others can easily deal with. If so, why not take advantage of it? Just like the above example, if you think some problems are difficult, it may be because you only rely on your own talents and abilities, but do not know how to get help from others. You even drive away people who could have helped you because you're too much of yourself. Instead of trying to find it by yourself, it is better to turn your eyes and call the strong person around you.
Some people are reluctant to borrow from others, seeing it as a sign of incompetence. So let’s think about it, is it incompetent to ask others for help, or is it more incompetent to fail because of our own lack of strength? Of course, being able to "borrow" may not necessarily lead to success, but most successful people are those who are good at "borrowing". No matter whether you know someone or not, as long as you borrow well and let them do things for you willingly, you will have an extra bargaining chip to win. Taiwanese tycoon Chen Yongtai said it well: "Smart people achieve their goals through the power of others."
"Leverage" is not an ugly thing. The world's oil king once said: "Never rely on yourself to spend 100% of your strength, but rely on 100 people to spend 1% of each person's strength." Advocating "there is no perfect individual, only a perfect team." The concept coincides. A person's strength is limited, and sometimes it is impossible to win even if he uses up 100% of his strength. If everyone contributes a little strength, they can easily win.
Don't be conceited that you should support yourself. People often say: A single palm cannot make a sound, and a single tree cannot make a forest. How strong a person is, not in how many stones he can lift, but in how many people he can get help. No matter what job you are in, or what industry you are in, you must seek the help of others and use the power of others to facilitate yourself. A person who has little ability must do this, and a person who has ability must also do this. Leverage is more important than effort
Celebrity Zhuang Wenzhan's insights: You can become a "workplace saint" by being skillful in "borrowing strength" and proficient in "borrowing momentum". Good wind, with its strength, will send you to the blue sky. A borrowed word, the world is vast, and there is a lot to do. A qualitative leap is marked when one realizes that it is more beneficial to use the strength of others than to work alone. Especially for what you lack, you need to borrow more. By grasping the core of "borrowing power", it is possible to complete the transformation from failure without money, background, or experience to success through borrowing.
