In the 1930s, the milk delivered by British milk delivery companies to subscribers' doorways did not need to be covered or sealed, so sparrows and red-breasted birds could easily drink the cream skin solidified on the top of the bottle. Later, the milk company sealed the bottle with tin foil to prevent birds from stealing. Unexpectedly, 20xx years later, the British sparrow learned to peck away the tin foil paper from the bottle with its mouth and continued to eat its favorite cream skin. But in the same year of 20xx, the red-breasted bird had not learned this method, and naturally there was no delicious cream skin to eat.

This phenomenon aroused the interest of biologists, who studied these two kinds of birds. From the results of anatomy, their physiological structures are not very different, but why are the evolutionary differences between the two birds so great? It turns out that this has a lot to do with their living habits.

Sparrows are gregarious birds and often act together. When a sparrow finds a way to peck through tin foil, it can teach other sparrows. The red-breasted bird likes to live alone, and its enclosure is king. Their communication is limited to courtship and expelling intruders. So even if the red-breasted bird finds that tin foil can be pecked, other birds won't know.

In a word, social human beings can't go from eating animals and drinking blood to today's modern civilized society without collective communication and action.

Applicable topics: collective strength, communication, mutual assistance, love, etc.

Second, blind people carry lanterns.

One dark night, there was no moon or stars. A blind man, with a bamboo pole in one hand and a lantern in the other, explored the road carefully. Others were amused and curious, and asked him, "You can't see anything yourself, why are you carrying a lantern on the road?"

The blind man said slowly, "More than one person has asked me this question." In fact, the reason is very simple. I don't carry lanterns to light the road for myself, but to make others see me easily, so as to protect my own safety. Moreover, over the years, because my lanterns have brought light and guided others, people have often helped me enthusiastically and led me through one ditch after another, saving me from many dangers. Look, didn't I help others and myself? So, every night when I go out, I always carry a lantern. "

In short, it is convenient for others and for yourself. On the long road of life, if you can learn from the blind man holding a lantern, illuminate the road for others and yourself, then you are safe for others and yourself.

Third, Guo Taiming

In just a few years, Guo Taiming has built his Hon Hai Precision Group into a leading enterprise. At the beginning of the year, Guo Taiming received a big order, and the company's senior management was very excited about this order. Once this order is completed, the group will expand rapidly and stand out. Just as the group was rubbing their hands, Guo Taiming suddenly made an unexpected decision: he had sent an invitation to several colleagues with good relations, hoping that everyone could complete this order with him.

As soon as Guo Taiming's decision was announced, there was opposition within the group. At the shareholders' meeting, Guo Taiming patiently explained his decision to everyone. He said: "Our profits are growing at a high speed, but our relationship with our peers is getting worse." Many colleagues' business has reached a difficult level, and there are more and more complaints about us. We should not only think about how to make money, but also learn to make money with others and create a better business environment for us. "

Guo taiming's actions have had a great impact. A few years later, Guo Taiming's business was in crisis. When enterprises encounter difficulties, colleagues who Guo Taiming helped at the beginning will lend a helping hand.

4. Honey Badger and Honey Bird

Honey badger and honey bird are good partners. They often cooperate with each other to destroy the hive. Wild bees often nest in tall trees, and honey badgers are not easy to find. The observant honey bird found the beehive in the tree and went to look for the honey badger. In order to attract the attention of honey badger, honey birds often flap their wings and make special movements, making a "click" sound. On receiving the signal, the honey badger rushed to climb trees, bite the hive, drive away the wild bees and eat honey.

The honey bird stood by and waited for the honey badger to have a good meal before enjoying the beeswax alone in the hive. Sparrows are gregarious birds and often act together. When a sparrow finds a way to peck through tin foil, it can teach other sparrows. On the other hand, red-breasted birds like their enclosure to be king, and communication only ends with me and expelling invaders.

So even if the red-breasted bird finds that tin foil can be pecked, other birds can't know. Wild geese have the instinct of cooperation. When they fly, they all lead the way in a V shape, which can help the geese on both sides to form a local vacuum. Scientists have found that geese fly in this form, which is 12% more than flying alone.

Five, mutual assistance antelope

In a primeval forest, the wolf stared at a herd of antelopes. Led by a sheep, the antelope fled for their lives, but just as they were about to get out of danger, they met a cliff.

Several male antelopes struggled to jump on the opposite rock, but they could not escape the bad luck of being smashed into pieces. The wolves advanced step by step, and at the critical moment, a very touching scene appeared: the elderly and frail antelopes consciously stood in a row and then struggled to jump on the opposite rock; Almost at the same time, the strong young antelope also jumped down, and with the help of the old and frail antelope back, it successfully jumped over the cliff of death.
