I carefully analyzed the "barrel theory", put forward arguments, and cited some examples for reference. The core content of the so-called "barrel theory", that is, the "barrel law", is that the amount of water contained in a barrel does not depend on the tallest piece of wood on the barrel wall, but on the shortest piece on the barrel wall. According to this core content, the "barrel theory" has two inferences: first, there is only the one on the barrel wall. As long as one piece in this bucket is not high enough, the water in the bucket is not enough. At first glance, you will feel suspicious: why is the longest not as good as the shortest? Then there will be understanding and approval: indeed! The amount of water in a barrel is not the longest board, but the shortest board. Because the long board is useless no matter how long it is, the water interface is flush with the shortest board. "It is not the longest board that determines the capacity of a barrel, but the shortest board!" This seems to be incompatible with conventional thinking, but it has been proved to be a correct conclusion. The "barrel theory" can inspire us to think about many problems. 1. The importance of team spirit building. In a team, it is not the person with the strongest ability and the best performance that determines the strength of the team's combat effectiveness, but the laggard with the weakest ability and the worst performance. Because the shortest board has played a role in restricting and limiting the longest board. It determines the combat effectiveness of this team and affects its comprehensive strength. In other words, it is necessary to find ways to make the short board reach the height of the long board or keep all the boards "high enough" in order to give full play to the role of the team and fully embody the team spirit. 2. Make up for each other. "Wooden bucket theory" is a concept in modern management, which means that the water capacity of a wooden bucket does not depend on the longest board. Look at the shortest board. When it comes to us, everyone is like a bucket. No one is perfect, there will always be shortcomings, and shortcomings are like the shortest board in a barrel. Then, considering the height that everyone can reach as the water capacity, they must make up for each other to accommodate more water. According to the experience and lessons of predecessors, "short board" will seriously affect our lives. Although Qin Shihuang unified China for the first time, his tyranny was also broken. Pang Juan is talented and Zhou Yu is talented, but their narrow minds have also ruined their lives; Xiang Yu and Guan Gong are brave and good at fighting, but unfortunately they are arrogant and arrogant, and it is difficult to achieve great things in the end ... It can be seen that although the "short board" is short, its role cannot be ignored. It not only failed countless heroes, but even killed them. In the eyes of modern people, among the 6 billion people in the world, there are probably not many heroes, and most ordinary people should pay more attention to this "short board" that makes countless heroes bow to their knees. In the student stage, we have an extremely important task-learning, but in the face of many subjects, each of us pays different attention, resulting in different levels. It is often some weak subjects that make us fail others, so the ultimate goal cannot be achieved. A "short board" is not terrible, but if we can pay enough attention to it, the so-called "short board" will become longer. Eventually, our "water capacity" will be improved. So the so-called goal realization is only a matter of time. But if there is more than one "short board", I'm afraid it's not a simple matter to make it up. Therefore, this is an arduous task, which requires us to invest a lot of energy to make up for it. It is unrealistic to make up for it easily and improve the water capacity. This has never happened in the world. Yao Ming spent four years. He works hard in the NBA. At the beginning, his playing style was weak and his physical strength was insufficient, so he couldn't keep up with the offensive rhythm of the team. He has gradually grown into a first-class center and the core soul of the team, but he still needs to work hard. So he failed to make up all his shortcomings in four years. We are not heroes. We have many "short boards", but the "short boards" can be supplemented, and the "short boards" can be supplemented by 7788.
