Choose words carefully

   No one can avoid talking to others, but you should choose your words carefully.

  Those who choose words carefully, use the colloquial saying: press the secret under the tongue. Because the same thing, expressed in a certain way, can make people smile; if you say it in another way, it will make people frustrated and annoyed.

  Our tongue is like a double-sided blade, so we must work hard to achieve the best effect of our words, which can express our own meaning and make people accept it.

  When you should speak, be bold, concise, and not twitchy; when you should not speak, be silent and never show off your knowledge.



  What you say must be true and credible, don't make up at will, don't talk nonsense. Don't talk nonsense about things you don't understand. It is unwise to talk casually, even if the talent is highly educated.

  On the contrary, if a talented person is superficial but few words, people often regard his silence as a kind of cleverness.

  No matter who you are talking to, you must be targeted and see if they are willing to accept it.

  If he is listening attentively, just keep talking; otherwise, keep his tongue away. In short, what you say should not be offensive.

  In addition, listen to others patiently and don't be impatient. Only those who are good at learning can speak well. The process of listening to people is also a process of learning.

Zeigarnik effect

  As a freelancer, you have to fight procrastination every day. "I've made up my mind many times, but I just can't change it. Is it because I'm slow or slow?". In fact, many procrastinations are irrational. Many obstructions are imagined by myself. So distract, postpone, avoid confrontation. It's cool to procrastinate, and it's cool to procrastinate all the time, so I can't do it. Concentration is also related to physical strength. When the physical strength is exhausted, it is even more difficult to concentrate. You’ll tell yourself: I’m too tired to do this—okay, another perfect procrastination.   In 1927, Bruma Zeigarnik's senior research found that people are more likely to care about unfinished and interrupted work than completed work. This is the Zeigarnik effect. For example, we often don't care much about what we have got, but we will especially cherish what we have worked hard but haven't got. Therefore, the TV series will tell you...

Moroccan football team: "The most familiar stranger"

   When I was still in college ten years ago, I led a sightseeing group of more than 30 Moroccan students. Before meeting them, my general impression of the Moroccans was that they are from North Africa but closer to the Arab world. They have religious beliefs, are used to worship, and are inextricably linked with France.   When I saw the real person, I realized that the North Africans in front of me were actually a group of children playing with each other and having fun in time. They were about the same age as me at the time. I have all kinds of nicknames and nicknames. During the process of taking them to Badaling, the Summer Palace and Houhai, two classmates and I, together with more than 30 Moroccan students, realized "cultural integration" and "world unity" in the small group to some extent.   During the World Cup in Qatar, I was surprised to find that the little-known Morocco team, which was eliminated in the group stage of the last World Cup, after miraculou...

How Gates and Jobs compete

   Competition is the norm in the business world. Many people even use war as a metaphor for business competition. As master leaders, Apple founder Steve Jobs and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, how do they handle business? What about competition issues? Let's take a look at the four strategies summarized by the author in the book "Strategic Thinking".   The first strategy is the "puppy tactic". The term “puppy tactics” comes from Jean Tirole, the 2014 Nobel Prize winner in economics, and Zhu Fudenberg, a master of economics. It means to make yourself as harmless as possible, to keep competitors completely unaware of your intentions, and even to make the market unclear about your true intentions through camouflage and misleading.   Being undervalued by the market and competitors will give you an edge when entering a new field.   Jobs was a tough entrepreneur. However, he is also a master at employing puppy tactics. For example, Jobs adopted this strategy when he w...
