Competition, there is competition everywhere in life. Competition makes survival difficult, and competition makes life more vibrant and full of vitality. In fair competition, people can find both material and spiritual satisfaction. Learning in a competitive environment, everyone is always in danger of being excluded, but we are grateful for the competition, which has created our profound knowledge, modest character and determined character. However, some people often overemphasize personal struggle, ignoring fairness and how not to hurt others in competition. Even gave this contemptuous behavior the absurd title of "jungle philosophy". This shameful behavior can be seen everywhere around us. People are crazy about the so-called sense of accomplishment brought by this kind of values. They do not hesitate to use despicable means to undermine the interests of others.
When the word "cooperation" was born with golden light, it was as bright as the first ray of sunshine when the newborn sun rose slowly from the horizon. It seems to be a powerful hand, tearing at the ugly, cruel, anxious, desperate, helpless and extinct humanity in people's hearts.
Tan Sitong, an enlightenment thinker and reformer in modern China, once said, "A strong group leads to loneliness, and loneliness leads to defeat". In today's words, "unity is strength", and this unity is cooperation.
We won't delve into the necessity of cooperation here. I want to ask you a question, which I also want to discuss with you. How to be a good collaborator?
I thought I wanted to be a very cooperative person. You must do two things: first, be loyal, and second, trust your partner.
The word "loyalty" can be regarded as the most important word in the eyes of the ancients. In fact, when it comes to loyalty, most people think of one person. There is no doubt that he is Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang. If Shu is regarded as a big company, Guan Yu and Liu Bei have a cooperative relationship. When Cao Cao dug up the business secrets, he was loyal to his partner Liu Bei Aesop, an ancient Greek fable writer, said that "consistency is powerful, while disputes are easily conquered". Ceng Wenzheng said, "Sitting on this mountain and looking at that mountain, you will accomplish nothing." . A person's disloyalty to his partner, on the one hand, destroys the interests of others, on the other hand, loses his reputation. Shame on people, harming others and not benefiting themselves. So I think we must be loyal to our partner.
The second is to trust your partner. Trusting someone is easier said than done. Everyone is suspicious because of human nature. So there is no absolute trust, only more trust. Trust here is not blind trust, but rational trust Only by trusting your partner rationally can your career succeed. In business, there is a saying that "there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests". Only two like-minded people can cooperate. When the interests are inconsistent, this relationship no longer exists.
I often hope to be a good collaborator and try my best to achieve my goal according to the above two points. Cooperation is not the only way to success, but cooperation is a shortcut to success. I hope my two suggestions can help you to succeed.
