There is a famous saying that interlacing is like a mountain. Don't compare this with that.

Measure the advantages of others by their shortcomings.

Our world can be divided into inanimate nature and living creatures. The inanimate nature is equal. The sun will never be partial to the United States, shine on the United States for a few more hours. Newton's law will not be established only in Britain, nor in China. However, the living biological world is unequal, with strong people and weak people. The wolf is strong, the sheep is weak, the wolf eats the sheep, and the strong eats the weak; The tall and strong monkey is the Monkey King, and the short and weak monkey has to crawl at the foot of the Monkey King, and the strong oppresses the weak. "The strong destroy the weak" and "the strong oppress the weak" are the iron laws of biology.

Since human beings belong to the biological world, it is inevitable to distinguish the strong from the weak. People are unequal individually, with different physical strength and intelligence. There are obvious differences between different human groups (that is, countries or nations), both developed countries such as Europe and America and backward countries such as Asia, Africa and Latin America. Because the strong and the weak play different roles in society, the psychological state of the strong and the weak is completely different. The basic starting point of the strong mentality is "competition". Whoever can grab the pie belongs to it, and the weak who can't grab the pie deserve it. The basic starting point of the weak mentality is "equality". A pie should be shared equally by all, and bullying the weak is condemned as immoral.

It is hard to say whether human society should advocate "competition" of the strong or "equality" of the weak. If human society wants to blindly advocate the "equality" of the weak, excessively sympathize with and protect the weak, and do the same thing well and badly, such a society will lose its motivation for development. However, if human society blindly advocates the "competition" of the strong, there will be bloody and cruel competition, which is not a good thing. However, both the strong and the weak emphasize their own theories from their own interests. The strong demand more.

It is more "competition" than "equality" that binds their hands and feet; The weak demand more "equality" and are afraid of the "competition" that they cannot win.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese nation still had a strong mentality, but in modern times, China people have admitted that they are a weak person at heart, and there is no longer a competitive and challenging mentality of the strong. China people's weak mentality is obviously manifested in four aspects:

First, there is a lack of ambition to challenge the strong

The basic sign of a person with a strong mentality is to challenge the ambition of the strong. Athletes with strong mentality will aim at the world champion, not just the first in a province or city; Entrepreneurs with strong mentality will set the goal of the enterprise as making world-class products, and will not be satisfied with making some cheap goods to make money; National leaders with strong mentality will set a development goal of "first-class power" for the country, rather than setting a small goal of "moderately developed country".

As a small island country, Japan's objective conditions such as land, resources and population are much worse than China's, so it seems natural that Japan is poorer and less developed than China. However, the Japanese have a strong mentality, are not satisfied with being a small eastern country, and have the ambition to challenge the strong. 1894 In the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, Japan challenged China, which was stronger than itself, and defeated China. In the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, Japan challenged and defeated Russia, which was stronger than itself. In the Pacific War of 194 1, Japan once again challenged the more powerful United States, and this challenge of Japan ended in fiasco. However, after Japan's defeat, the strong people's mentality did not decrease, and they began to challenge the world powers economically.

As early as 1946, when Japan was just defeated, a little-known automobile factory "Toyota" began to set its ambitions and formulate a plan to challenge the automobile kingdom of the United States at that time. As a defeated country, "Toyota" company is not as good as the powerful American automobile company in capital and technology, and before 1949, the Allied Command in Japan also banned Japanese from making cars, but these failed to stop the Japanese from challenging American cars. Thirty years later, Japanese cars beat the United States to become the world's number one automobile kingdom, and "Toyota" cars also became world-famous Japanese brands.

Japan's "Nikon" company was originally a military enterprise that produced military telescopes. After Japan's defeat, it had to be "converted from military to civilian" and "Nikon" began to transform into a civilian camera. At that time, the camera kingdom in the world was Germany, and Nikon's product positioning was to catch up with German cameras. Thirty years later, Japanese cameras beat German cameras, and now 90% of the world's high-end cameras are made in Japan. Before World War II, the world watch kingdom was Switzerland. After World War II, Japanese companies such as Seiko began to produce products that surpassed Swiss watches. Now Japan has surpassed Switzerland to become the world's first watch producer.

The United States, Russia, Germany, Britain, France and other countries, which are both world powers, are also countries with the ambition to challenge the strong. Germany dares to provoke two world wars; After World War II, Russia challenged the United States militarily and had a cold war with the United States. Although Russia's challenge finally failed, it was also the failure of the strong challenger, which was completely different from the failure of the weak who dared not challenge the strong and were invaded and oppressed by the strong.

In contrast, China people lack the ambition and courage to challenge the strong. For more than 100 years after the Opium War, China people defined themselves as the weak in their hearts and did not have the ambition to challenge the strong. China not only does not dare to challenge a powerful country militarily, but also has no ambition to challenge a powerful country economically. /kloc-the movement of "surpassing Britain to catch up with the United States" in the 1950 s took only five minutes of enthusiasm and soon gave up on its own. China has never experienced severe challenges lasting for decades like the Japanese. At present, China's development goal is only to become a moderately developed country by the middle of the 20th century, and China people have no courage to dream of surpassing Japan and catching up with the United States.

1952, Toyota of Japan and Ford of the United States discussed the introduction of automobile production technology. However, due to the high price in the United States, Toyota Hideki, the director of Toyota Company, said after visiting Ford Company: "Americans are nothing, and we can do what they can." But if you are from China, you probably won't have the courage to say, "The Japanese are nothing, and we can do what they can." We often see people in China calling for "boycotting Japanese goods", but we have never seen the slogan of "catching up with Japanese goods". At present, the situation of China automobile factory is much better than that of Japan which has just been defeated, but no automobile factory has the ambition to make a plan to let its cars surpass Japanese cars within 30 years. I have never heard that the camera factory in China has made a plan to surpass Japanese cameras for 30 years. The development plans of Chinese enterprises are all small plans for quick success and instant benefit, lacking the ambition to challenge world-class enterprises. Even the long-term plan formulated by the China government has no grand plan to challenge advanced countries.

Before competing with the strong, China people have given up in their hearts and lost the courage to challenge the strong.

Second, the lack of self-confidence to become a strong person.

Although Japan and Germany were defeated in World War II, they did not lose confidence in themselves because of their defeat. In the difficult environment after the defeat, the elites of Japan and Germany did not try their best to emigrate to other countries to find comfort for themselves, but stayed at home to build their own country. Because they have such self-confidence: we have the ability to rebuild the country from the ruins, and we will be heroes in twenty or thirty years.

But China people don't have such confidence. First of all, China people themselves don't believe that China can develop into a first-class developed country envied by the world in 20 or 30 years. If China people are confident of building China into a first-class country in 20 or 30 years, why should China's elites do everything possible to go abroad and emigrate to become nationals of second-class countries like Canada and Australia?

Many China people apply for green cards, and when they apply for foreign nationality, they say "mainly for their children." This kind of mood is really understandable. Let our children become nationals of a strong country, and their children will be able to hold their heads high in the future and get rid of the embarrassment of being discriminated against by others as nationals of backward countries. The way for Japanese and Germans to "do it for their children" is to build their own country into a developed country, so that their children and grandchildren can be proud of being Japanese and Germans for a living.

After World War II, although Japan's technology lagged far behind that of the United States and Europe, Japan did not put the main funds on introducing foreign advanced technologies, but mainly invested in scientific research and independently developed advanced technologies, because the Japanese were confident that they could develop the same advanced technologies. It will take at least twenty or thirty years to master the production technology of complex cars, sophisticated cameras and watches. Without confidence in their own success, the Japanese will not invest huge sums of money in research and development for the fruits that will blossom decades later.

In contrast, the technological innovation of China enterprises basically depends on the introduction of advanced technology and production lines from abroad. They are willing to spend huge sums of money to introduce foreign technology, but their investment in research and development is very stingy. This is because China people have no confidence in their own scientific research strength, and they don't believe that the same advanced technology can be developed by handing over huge sums of money from technology introduction to domestic scientific research departments. When domestic universities and research institutes apply for scientific research projects and research funds, their goals for scientific research achievements are generally written as "replacing imported products", "leading domestic technology" and "reaching the world advanced level". If you set the goal of a scientific research project as "exceeding the world's most advanced level", you can't apply for scientific research funds, because China government officials must think you are talking nonsense. They simply don't believe that China people have the ability to "exceed the world's most advanced level".

Orientals are not as adventurous as westerners. We often see westerners engaged in various adventure activities, such as flying cars, climbing cliffs and crossing the sea, but we seldom hear that China and Japanese engage in such adventure activities. As the Japanese prefer a stable life to an adventurous life (which seems to be the same as that of China), they would rather choose a job with lower salary but security than a job with higher salary but no security. Therefore, the Japanese believe that the European and American-style non-life employment management system always makes people feel uneasy about the future and is not suitable for the Japanese people to pursue a stable life, so they have created a unique employment management system suitable for Japan's national conditions: life-long employment system.

Private enterprises in Europe and America have never engaged in lifelong employment system. Before Japan, there was no successful precedent of lifelong employment system in the world. The Japanese did not copy the successful non-life employment system in Europe and America, but dared to create their own life employment system out of self-confidence. In contrast, China people don't have this confidence. When China learns from foreign countries, he often copies them completely. He copied from the Soviet Union and copied from the United States. He has no confidence to create his own set in China. Although China people often talk about "China characteristics", they actually copy foreign things mechanically. Who can tell where China's "characteristics" are (except corruption)?

Recently, China has been speculating on the news that foreign experts predict that China's economy will catch up with that of Japan and the United States in a few years, which is also a sign that China people are not confident. If China people are really confident to catch up with Japan and the United States, why should they care what foreign experts say? 1905 when Japan challenged Russia in the Russo-Japanese War, experts from almost all countries generally predicted that Russia would win, but the Japanese did not believe the predictions of foreign experts and went to war with Russia with confidence in themselves, thus proving that the predictions of foreign experts were wrong. After World War II, foreign experts were optimistic about China, believing that Japan could not turn over in 50 years. However, confident Japanese do not trust foreign experts, which once again breaks the "prediction" of foreign experts.

Napoleon said, "China is a sleeping lion. Once she wakes up, the world will tremble. " China people always like to speculate on Napoleon's statement, which seems to mean that even a great man like Napoleon said that China people were great. Don't you believe it? The Japanese dare to say: "Napoleon is wrong, Japan is a sleeping lion." Once Japan wakes up, the world will tremble. " China people are superstitious about the predictions of so-called foreign experts, but China often lets them down. The Japanese don't believe the predictions of foreign experts, but they often let foreign experts fall below their eyes.

Although China people love to talk big and never give in, they have long lost their strong confidence in the hearts of China people.

Third, complain and slander your competitors.

We will see that some weak people are always complaining: today, they complain that their neighbors set up a shed in front of his window, blocking the sunshine of his house; Tomorrow, I will complain that my neighbor plays loud music at night, which makes him unable to sleep at night. They constantly speak ill of their neighbors behind their backs, vilify and belittle their neighbors whenever they have the opportunity, and try to vent their sulks by vilifying their neighbors.

Strong people never complain to others because they have nothing to complain about. If a neighbor wants to build a shed in front of his window, he will say rudely: if you dare to build a shed, I will tear it down for you at once; If the neighbor keeps him awake with loud music, he will say rudely, If you don't turn off the music, I will smash your radio. Strong people don't sulk in their hearts. If they are dissatisfied with others, they will immediately find the parties to solve it. Naturally, there is no need to speak ill of others behind their backs, let alone vilify and belittle others.

China people always speak with obvious "weak voice", which is due to their weak mentality. China people always resentfully complain that the United States has intervened in China's internal affairs, and they resent the Japanese's refusal to apologize to China, and they are full of anger. China people are dissatisfied with the United States and Japan, and dare not openly confront them, so they have to move out the magic weapon of the weak who speak ill of others behind their backs, and abuse and vilify the United States and Japan at home, so as to achieve the so-called "spiritual victory" of self-liberation.

A person was beaten by others, and a country was invaded by other countries. The strong and the weak have different interpretations of this problem. The weak theory holds that it is wrong to hit people and the attack behavior is unreasonable; The theory of the strong holds that the person who was beaten and the invaded country deserved it, and who made you incompetent. A person with a strong mentality is beaten by others, and he does not blame the person who beat him, but only blames himself for his poor kung fu. From then on, he worked hard, carefully studied his opponent's strengths and his own weaknesses, and came back to participate in a competition ten years later. A person with a weak mentality was beaten by others, but he just cried everywhere about how the character of the person who beat him was corrupted and described his enemy as a worthless villain. This method of demonizing the spiritual victory of the enemy's weak makes the weak unable to really see the real state of the enemy, dare not face up to their weaknesses, cannot reflect on their own efforts to improve themselves, and can't get rid of the passive beating situation after all.

/kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, China and Japan were invaded by western powers at the same time, and Japan was able to strive for self-improvement, while China was still being beaten behind. One of the reasons is that Japanese people have a strong mentality, while China people are very weak. The Japanese did not hate and vilify the European and American powers that invaded them, nor did they complain and curse those who invaded themselves. On the contrary, they admit that the enemy is "greater, more glorious and more correct" than themselves, and learn from the enemy who defeated them with an open mind. This strong mentality of Japan not only freed Japan from the status of being invaded, but also squeezed into the ranks of aggressors. After being invaded, China kept complaining and cursing foreigners, turning them into devils like "devils", hating foreigners, and even appearing "vigilantes", killing foreigners as soon as they saw them.

China's history books have such a feature. When it comes to China, the reputation of "greatness, glory and correctness" is carefree, but when it comes to foreign history, the whole story is about every evil thing they have done. Even when it comes to innocent foreign countries, we will never praise the great glory of foreign countries. The honor of "* * *" is exclusive to China people. The world is evil, and only China is good. Since China has such a glorious history and China has reached such a perfect level, what else needs to be improved in China? Is there anything to reflect on?

China people's weak mentality makes China people's self-esteem very fragile. They dare not face up to their own shortcomings, nor dare they face up to the advantages of others. China people have lost the ability to look at the world objectively.

Fourth, make excuses for your failure.

At the Olympic Games, the strong are not happy to win the silver medal, because they compare themselves with the gold medal winners. The weak are very happy when they get the bronze medal, because they compare themselves with players who have never even won the bronze medal. Compared with people who are weaker than themselves, it is also a typical manifestation of the mentality of the weak. You said I was poor, and Lao Wang next door was poorer than me. You say China is backward, and India is more backward than China. In a word, you can't expect too much from me. I'm doing well now. You think many people are not as good as me. Why do you say I can't?

The United States often interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, but the United States has never complained about foreign interference in the internal affairs of the United States: "I interfere in your internal affairs, and you can interfere in mine, as long as you have the ability." After Japan invaded China's territory in violation of international morality, on the one hand, Japan had to admit that China had the right to fight back against Japan, so it could not complain about China's invasion of Japanese territory in turn. When a person tries to kill you with a knife regardless of the law, it is legal for you to kill him in turn. You can kill me, or I can kill you. Gambling in war is always fair.

China people are happy that you cursed the Japanese aggression and slaughter; However, if you ask, "Since the Japanese have done a lot of evil in China, why don't China people fight the Japanese to the death?" China people will be annoyed again. Why can't China stop Japanese aggression and massacre? Why can't we drive the invaders out of China? "China people will find many reasons to excuse the problem, such as" China didn't have foreign aid at that time "and" China didn't have money at that time ",but they just can't admit China's weakness.

The strong solve problems by themselves, while the weak solve problems by others. China's victory in the Anti-Japanese War is the victory of the weak and the by-product of the United States' defeat of Japan. It's really not a "great victory". If you compare China with the heroic powers such as China, the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain in World War II, and say that China was not brave enough in the war of resistance, people will immediately complain that you raised China people too high, and immediately find a weak person to help China out: How can China compare with the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain? You see, the French surrendered in a few months, and it is remarkable that China can persist in not surrendering for eight years. Why do you blame China people?

If China's economy is compared with that of the United States and Japan, China's economy can obviously not be said to be successful, but China must find a weak person who is complacent: "Look, Russia is poorer than China now." China's natural conditions are not worse than those of the United States, at least much better than those of Japan. If China people have the mentality of being a powerful country, China people should be ashamed that China's economy has not caught up with the United States and surpassed Japan. However, China people are weak-willed and seem to take China's backwardness for granted. They have never felt sorry for China's failure to catch up with the United States, Japan and Europe.

Another magic weapon for the weak is to compare with the past. We are much better than before, so we should be satisfied. During the Cultural Revolution, "recalling the bitter and thinking sweet" always said how many times it is now 1949. "Remembering bitter experience and thinking sweet" now appears in another way: China's economy has made great progress in recent years, and the life of the people in China is much better than before the reform and opening up; Now that China has meat to eat, why do you scold your mother? Many people in China seem to be satisfied with the present situation in China, but they really don't see that China people have a deep desire to become a world-class power. Recently, the Japanese proposed to strive for "technological hegemony" in the 2 1 century. 2 1 What are China people going to do in the century?

People with weak mentality don't have the courage to admit failure, so they always make excuses for their failure. Finding someone weaker than yourself and recalling past hardships is often the best way to excuse your failure.

In a word, the weak mentality of China people makes China people lose their sense of competition as a world power. Politically, China people are satisfied as long as foreigners don't bully China and "interfere in China's internal affairs". How can China have the ambition to lead the world? Economically, it seems that China people have been satisfied with the status quo of cheap labor resources and surplus outdated products in developed countries as marketing markets, and have not achieved the grand goal of China's leading the world economy. The people of China have lost confidence in the future of China. Despite the hype of China people, the wave of emigration is growing, which fully reflects the inner voice of China people.

Recently, medicine tends to regard psychological abnormality as a symptom, and even some psychologists regard the mentality of the weak as a symptom to treat patients who are disappointed with themselves and help them overcome the mentality of the weak, re-establish self-confidence and move towards society. China people's weak mentality can be cured by seeing a smart psychologist, but first of all, China people must admit that they are mentally ill with a weak mentality. If China people insist that they are very healthy, even the best doctors can do nothing.
