1. The way to employ people

Anyone who has been to the temple knows that as soon as they enter the temple gate, the first thing is Amitabha Buddha, who greets guests with a smile, and to the north is Wei Tuo with a black mouth and a black face. But according to legend, a long time ago, they were not in the same temple, but were in charge of different temples.

Mile Buddha was enthusiastic and happy, so many people came, but he didn't care about anything, and did not manage the accounts well, so he still couldn't make ends meet. Although Wei Tuo was a good at managing the accounts, he had a cloudy face all day long and was too serious, causing fewer and fewer people, and finally the incense was cut off.

Buddha discovered this problem while checking the incense.

Small fable

1. The way to employ people

Anyone who has been to the temple knows that as soon as they enter the temple gate, the first thing is Amitabha Buddha, who greets guests with a smile, and to the north is Wei Tuo with a black mouth and a black face. But according to legend, a long time ago, they were not in the same temple, but were in charge of different temples.

Mile Buddha was enthusiastic and happy, so many people came, but he didn't care about anything, and did not manage the accounts well, so he still couldn't make ends meet. Although Wei Tuo was a good at managing the accounts, he had a cloudy face all day long and was too serious, causing fewer and fewer people, and finally the incense was cut off.

When the Buddha found this problem when he was looking up the incense, he placed them in the same temple, and Mile Buddha was responsible for public relations and welcomed guests from all directions. Therefore, the incense was prosperous. Wei Tuo was selfless and had to compete with the beads, so he asked him to be responsible for finance and strictly control the situation. In the division of labor and cooperation between the two, the temple was prosperous.

In fact, in the eyes of the master of employing people, there are no useless people. Just like a master of martial arts, you don’t need a precious sword. Picking flowers and flying leaves can hurt people. The key depends on how to use it.

Comment: Yes, Buddha is more clever.

Two, parrot

I went to buy a parrot alone and saw a parrot’s front logo: This parrot knows two languages ​​and costs 200 yuan.

In front of another parrot, it marked: This parrot knows four languages ​​and costs 400 yuan.

Which one should I buy? Both of them are brightly fur-colored and very flexible and cute. This guy is walking around and can't make up his mind.

As a result, I suddenly found an old parrot with dim fur color and scattered priced at 800 yuan.

The man quickly called the boss: Does this parrot speak eight languages?

The owner said: No.

This man was surprised: Then why is he old, ugly, and incapable of power, worth this number?

The owner replied: Because the other two parrots are called this parrot owner.

This story tells us that a true leader may not be able to be very capable. As long as he knows trust, delegate power, and cherishes, he can unite a stronger force than himself and thus increase his value.

On the contrary, many people with very strong abilities are too perfectionist and do everything themselves. They are not as good as themselves. In the end, they can only be the best research personnel and sales representatives, and cannot become excellent leaders.

Comment: If the boss changes his position in a parrot, he will still be an old parrot. If he doesn’t have special skills, he will starve to death. It’s better to ensure that he will not starve to death before becoming an “excellent leader”.

Three, Kangaroo and cage

One day, the zoo administrator found that the kangaroo ran out of the cage, so he held a meeting to discuss and agreed that the height of the cage was too low. So they decided to increase the height of the cage from the original 10 meters to 20 meters. As a result, the next day they found that the kangaroo was still running outside, so they decided to increase the height to 30 meters.

Unexpectedly, the next day, I saw all the kangaroos running outside again, so the administrators were very nervous and decided to do whatever they wanted to increase the height of the cage to 100 meters.

One day the giraffes were chatting with a few kangaroos, ‘Look, will these people continue to raise your cages?’ The giraffe asked. ‘It’s hard to say.’ Kangaroos said, ‘If they continue to forget to close the door!’

Management experience: Things have the "main and the end", "slight and the end", "urgent", closing the door is the foundation, and increasing the cage is the end, and losing the foundation and chasing the end, of course, you will not be able to grasp it. What is management? Management is to first analyze the main contradictions and secondary contradictions of the matter, recognize the "main and the end" of the matter, "slight and the end" and "urgent", and then start from important aspects.

Comment: When analyses, it is always organized and well-informed, but if you are in it, you may not be able to distinguish things. It is not that simple. Because "the cart before the horse", "the importance of the slightest and the urgent" will change with the changes in the environment.

4. Bian Que's medical skills

King Wen of Wei asked the famous doctor Bian Que and said, "You three brothers are all proficient in medical skills. Which one is the best?"

Bian Que replied: "The elder brother is the best, the middle brother is the second, and I am the worst."

King Wen asked again: ‘Then why are you the most famous?’

Bian Que replied: "The elder brother treats diseases before the onset of the disease. Because most people do not know that he can eliminate the cause of the disease in advance, his reputation cannot be spread; the middle brother treats diseases when the disease first occurs. Most people think that he can only treat minor diseases, so his reputation is only as good as in the hometown. And I treat diseases when the disease is serious. Most people see that I pass needles on my meridians and apply medicine on my skin and other major operations, so I think my medical skills are so good that my reputation is so popular all over the country.'

Management experience: After-control is not as good as during-process control, and during-process control is not as good as before-process control. Unfortunately, most business operators fail to understand this and wait until the wrong decision causes significant losses before seeking compensation. Often, even if a famous "airborne troops" is invited, the result will be of no help.

Comment: ‘Pre-control’? Having said that, it may not be realistic to ensure it completely. Therefore, it is reasonable for Bian Que to become famous. Firefighters and leak-making experts.

Five, Qu Tutu's disciple's salary

A guest came to someone's house as a guest and saw that the chimney on the owner's stove was straight and there was a lot of wood next to it. The guest told the owner that the chimney should be reconciled and the wood should be removed, otherwise there might be a fire in the future. The owner did not make any statement after hearing this.

Soon the owner's house caught fire, and the neighbors around rushed to put out the fire. Finally, the fire was put out. So the owner cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle and invited the neighbors to reward them for their contribution to the fire, but did not invite the person who suggested that he remove the wood and change the chimney. Someone said to the owner: "If I had heard that gentleman at the beginning, I would not have to prepare a banquet today, and there was no loss of the fire. Now, the reward is based on merit. The person who originally gave you advice was not grateful, but the person who put out the fire was a guest. It was really strange! The owner immediately realized and quickly invited the guest who gave the advice to come for a drink.

Management experience: Generally speaking, people believe that people who are enough to resolve or solve various difficult problems in the business process are excellent managers. In fact, this is questionable. As the saying goes, "Prevention is more important than treatment". It can prevent problems before they happen, and is better than curing chaos after they have already been established. From this point of view, the preventer of corporate problems is actually better than the solver of corporate problems.

Comment: The owner of this house is very good. At least he didn't scold the person who made suggestions as the one who set fire.

Six, save people

In a fierce battle, the captain suddenly found an enemy plane diving towards the position. As usual, he found that the enemy plane had to lie down without hesitation when diving. But the captain did not lie down immediately. He found that there was a little warrior standing four or five meters away from him. He didn't bother to think about it, and a fish jumped and pressed the little warrior tightly under him. At this time, there was a loud bang, and the splashed soil fell on them one after another. The captain patted the dust on his body, and when he looked back, he was stunned: the position he was in just now was blown into a big pit.

7, go out

In ancient times, two brothers each went out with a suitcase. Along the way, the heavy suitcases pushed both brothers to breathe. They had to change their right hand when they were tired of their left hand, and then their left hand when they were tired of their right hand. Suddenly, the eldest brother stopped, bought a shoulder pole on the side of the road, and hung the two suitcases on the shoulder pole one left and one right. He carried two boxes to the road, but he felt much more relaxed. It may be a bit far-fetched to link these two stories together, but they do have amazing similarities: the little warrior and younger brother in the story are lucky, but even more fortunate is the captain and elder brother in the story, because they also help others while helping themselves!

Management experience: On the road of our life, we will definitely encounter many difficulties. But do we all know that on the road ahead, moving away the stumbling blocks under others' feet is sometimes just paving the way for ourselves?

Comment 6, 7: The eagle cuts the flesh and feeds the eagle sits on the scale and becomes a Buddha. Before, he just wants to save the poor rabbit

Eight, the son of the fish king

There is a fisherman with first-class fishing skills and is respected as the "fishing king". However, the "fishing king" was very distressed when he was old because his three sons' fishing skills were very mediocre. So he often told people about his distress: "I really don't understand, my fishing skills are so good, why are my sons so bad? I have taught them fishing skills since they were sensible, and taught them the most basic things, and told them how to weave nets and catch fish the most easily, how to row boats and avoid disturbing fish, and how to get into the nets and get into the jar. When they grew up, I taught them how to recognize the tides and distinguish fish from the fish.

I taught them without reservation, but their fishing skills could not keep up with the son of a fisherman who was worse than mine!’A passerby heard his talk and asked, ‘Did you teach them step by step? ‘Yes, in order to get first-class fishing skills, I taught them very carefully and patiently. ‘Did they always follow you? ‘Yes, in order to avoid detours, I kept asking them to learn from me. ‘The passerby said, ‘In this way, your mistakes are very obvious. You only taught them the technology but did not teach them the lessons. For talents, without lessons and without experience, they cannot make people great!’

Comment: "Failure is the mother of success" is a waste of time?

Nine, the apple by the river

An old monk gathered a group of devout disciples around him. On this day, he told his disciples to go to Nanshan to get a load of firewood. The disciples hurried to the river not far from the mountain, and everyone was stunned. The flood rushed down from the mountain, and they could not cross the river to collect firewood no matter what. After returning without success, the disciples were a little depressed. Only a young monk met his master calmly. The master asked why, and the young monk took out an apple from his arms and handed it to the master, saying that he could not cross the river or get firewood. Seeing that there was an apple tree by the river, I picked the only apple on the tree. Later, the young monk became the successor of the master's robe and bowl.

There are endless roads in the world and rivers that cannot be crossed. Turning around and returning to the river is also a kind of wisdom. But true wisdom also requires one thing by the river: fly the kite of your thoughts and pick an "apple". People who have experienced the past and present and have such a belief in life will eventually achieve breakthroughs and transcendence in life.

Comment: Mr. Zhuge proposed the two concepts of "wise" and "zhiyuan". The young monk achieved "zhiyuan", so he became the host. If he achieved "wise" again, he would probably be comparable to the Sixth Patriarch (Bodhi tree without a tree...).

Ten, right hand holds left hand

A rumor is popular on the table: Holding your wife's hand, as if holding your right hand with your left hand.

Whenever someone reads: a familiar or unfamiliar table laughs out loud, and the atmosphere immediately becomes relaxed. Of course, this is based on someone's consistent understanding of the rumor - the feeling is accurate and the description is in place.

One day, someone recited this rumor again at the dining table, and the men laughed vigorously as usual. Later, they found that a woman on the dining table was not smiling. The men hurriedly said, don't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, the woman said seriously:

The most wonderful thing is the "right hand holding the left hand". First, the left hand is the most trusted by the right hand; second, the left hand and the right hand belong to each other; third, no matter how other hand makes you happy and excited, you can shake your hands afterwards. Only the left hand, if you shake it away, you will be incomplete, right? Men at the table admire each other and praise the profound and unique understanding of women. The woman said lightly: If there is any profound and uniqueness, you might as well go back and read it to your wives and see what they say.

Among the men, the brave ones went back to test their wives. As expected, the wives' understanding was the same as the ladies on the dining table.

They are all left-handed, so men of course have to use their left-handedness.

And they are all right-handed, of course they want to do the right-handed

Comment: Speechless.

Eleven, choice

A farmer rescued his wife from the flood, but his children were drowned.

Afterwards, people talked a lot. Some said he did it right because the child could have another child, but his wife could not be resurrected from death. Some said he did it wrong because the wife could have another child, but his child could not be resurrected from death.

After hearing the people's comments, I was puzzled: If only one person could be saved, should he save his wife or children? So I went to visit the farmer and asked him what he thought at that time.

He replied, "I thought nothing. The flood hit and my wife passed by me. I grabbed her and swam to the nearby hillside.

When I returned, the child had been washed away by the flood.'

On the way back, I thought about the farmers' words and said to myself: There are many choices in life.

Comment: "There is nothing in the world, but it is troubled by mediocre people." It is not wrong for farmers to save anyone, and what those discussing people say is wrong.

Twelve, simple truth

Once upon a time, two hungry people received the gift of an elder: a fishing rod and a basket of fresh and huge fish. One of them asked for a basket of fish and the other asked for a fish rod, so they parted ways. The person who got the fish set up a campfire with dry firewood to cook the fish. He swallowed it voraciously and had not tasted the aroma of fresh fish. In a flash, he ate the fish and soup. Soon, he starved to death by the empty fish basket. The other person held the fishing rod and continued to starve and walked towards the beach step by step. But when he had seen the blue ocean not far away, his last little strength was used up, and he could only let go of the world with endless regrets.

There were two hungry people, who also received a fishing rod and a basket of fish from the elders. However, they did not go their separate ways, but agreed to look for the sea together. They only cooked one fish at a time. After a long journey, they came to the beach. From then on, they began to fish for a living. A few years later, they built houses, had their own families, children, and fishing boats they built themselves, and lived a happy and healthy life.

If a person only cares about the immediate interests, he will eventually get short-term joy; if a person has lofty goals, he must also face the real life. Only by organically combining ideals and reality can he become a successful person. Sometimes, a simple truth is enough to give people meaningful life revelation.

Comment: The principle is similar to the first and second

Thirteen, not what you imagined

Two travelling angels went to a wealthy family to stay. The family was not friendly to them and refused to let them spend the night in the comfortable guest bedroom, but instead found a corner for them in the cold basement. When they made the bed, the older angel found a hole in the wall and repaired it. The young angel asked why, and the old angel replied: ‘Some things are not as they look.’

The next night, the two went to a very poor farmhouse to stay. The owner and his wife were very enthusiastic about them, taking out the little food to entertain the guests, and then giving out their beds to the two angels. The next morning, the two angels found the farmer and his wife crying, and their only source of life - a cow was dead. The young angel was very angry. He asked the old angel why this happened. The first family had everything, the old angel also helped them repair the holes in the wall, and the second family was still enthusiastic about the guests despite being so poor, but the old angel did not stop the death of the cow.

‘Some things are not as they seem.’ The old angel replied, ‘When we spent the night in the basement, I saw through the holes of the walls full of gold. Because the master was bewildered by greed and was unwilling to share his wealth, I filled the holes in the walls. Last night, the God of Death came to summon the farmer’s wife, and I let the cows replace her. So some things are not as they seem.’

Sometimes things are not what they should be. If you have faith, you just need to believe that the efforts will always be rewarded. You may not find out until later

Comment: Is this what Buddhism calls between cause and effect? ​​Or does Christ say not to doubt or tempt God? Oh, the angel version of the "Saiwan Story"

Fourteen, the way to raise cattle

When we traveled to the countryside, we were surprised to see an old farmer shoveling the cattle feeding on the eaves of a small thatched hut, so we asked: 'Honey, why don't you put the cattle feeding grass on the ground and let it eat it?'

The old farmer said: "This grass is not of good quality, and if I put it on the ground, it will disdain it; but if I put it on the eaves that are barely accessible, it will try hard to eat until it has eaten all the ingredients."

Comment: Haha, the ox version of "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup" is the most precious thing that is hard-won.
