Why should people achieve the unity of knowledge and action?

Speaking of money, it is probably the goal that most people pursue throughout their lives. Some people say: "I also want to make money, I also like money, why can't I become a multi-millionaire?" This is like a girl saying: "I also want to be beautiful, I also want to lose weight, why do I always lose weight?" Failed? ”

Some people just talk about it. One second they set a goal, and the next second they return to their original life style. The goal is just a slogan. Some people, in order to achieve their goals, search for various information about the goals on the Internet and read a bunch of books. In the end, they feel that these methods are not suitable for them, and finally give up on the goals. These are all pretty good, at least I don't waste too much time on unrealistic goals.

The most fearful thing in this world is that this person works really hard, and finally makes himself and the people around him cry, but still fails in the end. Why? A big reason is that cognition and behavior are inconsistent, that is, the unity of knowledge and action cannot be achieved. No matter how the surrounding environment changes, he turns a blind eye and persists in following his own thinking. If his original thinking is correct, then he is likely to succeed in the end; if his original thinking is wrong, then he is A person is performing, exerting all his strength, and finally ends up in a dead end. Most people's goal is not to become a great person who is famous throughout the ages. They just want to make some money and live a good life. According to Bibi Xiong's superficial experience, the integration of knowledge and action can help most people achieve financial freedom.

1. ? Aunt Ma started her own business and focused on making money

After reading most of the books in the library, Aunt Ma felt that she had understood most of the problems in life, so she decided to to start a business. Like most entrepreneurs, after Aunt Ma determined the industry in which she started her business, she found a company that was doing well in this industry, then submitted her resume, and was finally hired by a good company.

The purpose of Aunt Ma’s job search was not to make money, but to learn experience and skills, so she worked diligently and worked hard without complaint. The leaders and colleagues in the company like Aunt Ma very much and admire her work spirit. After working like this for more than a month, Aunt Ma felt that she had learned almost everything she wanted to learn, and finally chose to resign and go it alone.

In the early days of starting a business, Aunt Ma always encountered various unexpected situations. Even if she asked her friends and family for advice, no one had ever encountered a similar situation and could not provide any advice. Aunt Ma provided accurate reference suggestions, but in the end, I could only rely on Aunt Ma to solve the problem on her own. When the problem was serious, Aunt Ma suffered a stroke and was admitted to the hospital because of excessive stress. She stayed in a wheelchair for more than a month. Because of this incident, Aunt Ma’s business not only got better and better, but her ability to withstand stress was also excellent.

After successfully starting her own business, Aunt Ma not only did not stop learning, but she also loved trying new things more than before. In order to ensure the normal operation of the company, Aunt Ma began to recruit employees and create company processes, hoping to automate the company's operations. When the family members learned about Aunt Ma's idea, they all expressed opposition. They felt that Aunt Ma had a hard time keeping the company alive. Recruiting employees not only increased the cost, but what if they were taken advantage of by unscrupulous employees? But Aunt Ma didn't listen and insisted on recruiting excellent employees. Later, under the leadership of Aunt Ma, the company's operations were completely automated. Aunt Ma basically only went to the company on the day when wages were paid.

As the company normalized operations and profits increased, someone began to persuade Aunt Ma to open a branch. Aunt Ma also wanted to open a branch, but Aunt Ma was very clear about the level of her current company and her own capabilities. In the end, Aunt Ma rejected the proposal. The reason is that Aunt Ma does not feel that there are good managers in the company who can independently support the operation of a store. Aunt Ma often said in the company: "You all study hard. When you all become excellent, we will open another branch." Aunt Ma once met very good employees and felt that staying in the company was too incompetent, so she decided to Tell him to go somewhere else and work part-time if he has no money.

After the company normalized operations, Aunt Ma had a lot of free time.

During this period, Aunt Ma started to get involved with online videos. She thought it was fun to shoot videos and post them on the Internet, so she tried to make video clips herself. Aunt Ma first searched for courses on short video shooting and video editing on the Internet. After learning for about a week, she took her mobile phone and shot it herself. Once Aunt Ma starts to do something, she will go all out to specialize in this field. In the early days, Aunt Ma posted three videos a day, and she spent most of the day filming or editing videos. This lasted for about a month, and Aunt Ma's videos gradually began to gain popularity. Later, Aunt Ma’s videos became famous in the Internet celebrity world. Through advertising, video views and online education, Aunt Ma’s monthly passive income was tens of thousands of yuan.

Aunt Ma is still learning new things. Now she basically updates one video a week. Later, she also learned how to trade stocks, and she could make hundreds to thousands of RMB by entering and exiting every day. She often laughed and said that she would not be afraid of starving to death in the future. When she ran out of money, she would play a round of stocks, and she would have enough money for the day. . After having a child, she began to learn skateboarding, rollerblading, trendy brands and other young people's things, and began to spend more time with her family.

Aunt Ma’s success is not accidental, but a combination of knowledge and action. When Aunt Ma decided to start a business, all she could think about was starting a business and what she had to do to achieve this goal. She even went to work for a company in an industry she had never done before in order to achieve this goal. In the early days of starting a business, Don't shrink back when encountering difficulties, but try your best to find a solution. There is a saying that says: "When you work hard, the whole world will give in to you." Aunt Ma is such a person. Once she decides to do something, she will go all out and whatever happens around her will not affect her. To her, because she only sees her own goal and what she has to do to achieve it.

2. ? Bibi Bear lost weight successfully

Girls all want to have waistcoat lines and a proud figure, and so does Bibi Bear. But Bibi Bear has been fat since birth until he was 19 years old. Growing up, Bichon wanted to lose weight countless times and tried countless times, but in the end he failed. Looking back carefully now, it would be considered a miracle if Bibi Xiong could successfully lose weight at that time.

When Bibi Xiong was in high school, he saw that his friends around him were starting to lose weight, and he became determined to lose weight. Because the study tasks in high school are tight and he spends most of his time in class every day, Bibi Xiong decided not to eat rice and just eat some vegetables every day. At the beginning, Bibi Xiong was very excited, thinking that he would lose weight sooner or later if he continued like this. A week later, Bibi Xiong came to the weighing machine and found that he had not lost weight. He felt very angry and tired of losing weight, so he rewarded himself with a big meal that night. Later, every time Bibi Xiong wanted to lose weight, he would eat less. If he felt that weight loss was too tiring, he would eat good food to reward himself. If he kept repeating this, it would be strange for Bibi Xiong to lose weight.

In the blink of an eye, he came to his sophomore year. At this time, Bibi Xiong was determined to lose weight again, but what was different from usual was that Bibi Xiong did not tell anyone about losing weight. Is to silently develop a weight loss plan. I learned that the essence of weight loss is to "keep your mouth shut and open your legs." Bibi Xiong's plan for himself was to only eat breakfast and lunch and not eat at night. Whenever he has free time, Bibi Bear runs, jumps rope or dances. Basically every day I am either losing weight or studying.

Because of the freshness in the early stage, I can proceed according to the plan, but it becomes more and more difficult the further I go. I see my friends eating delicious food, but I can only drink water. I feel depressed every day, and I always feel like I can’t move my legs before running. Because I eat too little, I sometimes feel hungry and want to eat. The reason why many people fail to lose weight is because they cannot overcome these difficulties and cannot persist, so they ultimately fail. But I don’t want to keep gaining weight, so I keep losing weight, fail to lose weight, then lose weight, and the cycle continues.

Bibi Xiong has encountered these situations in the process of losing weight. What Bibi Bear does is, when he feels very hungry, if there are no classes, he just sleeps in the dormitory. After sleeping, he will feel much better when he wakes up.

When you don't want to run, just jog in the early stage. It doesn't matter how slow you run. The important thing is to open your legs. Running later will become easier and easier. When you feel listless, just empty your mind and think about nothing, and your mood will gradually calm down. Bibi Xiong once tried to eat only apples for a period of time and exercised like crazy, and lost 20 pounds in 3 months.

Bibi Xiong would like to remind girls who are losing weight not to pay too much attention to their weight. If you weigh yourself frequently every day, especially when you see your weight increasing instead of decreasing, it is easy for you to feel frustrated. , the further you get to the back, the harder it becomes to persist. The way Bibi Xiong overcomes this inner conflict is to ignore his weight and let himself develop good living habits. For example, don’t eat rice for a long time, eat fruits and vegetables, give up snacks, go for a walk in the park with your family when you have time, etc.

It is difficult to develop a good habit, but as long as you develop this habit, losing weight will not be a painful thing, because every move you make unintentionally is losing weight. Losing weight has become a natural thing, just as natural as eating and drinking water every day. This is also the core of the unity of knowledge and action. You know how to lose weight, and you control yourself according to the requirements of weight loss. In the end, you become a weight loss expert.

3. ? Bibi Bear’s supplier wants to abandon Bibi Bear and contact customers directly

“Shopping malls are like battlefields”, Bibi Bear has always been in the mall, I have seen and experienced many things, and I have a deep understanding of this sentence. There is also an old saying: "You must not have the intention of harming others, but you must have the intention of guarding against others." For many foreign trade companies, the most common struggle is how to avoid direct contact between customers and suppliers, because most foreign trade companies are If you add some profit to the factory price and then sell to foreign customers, you will make a living by selling services to earn the price difference. Once the customer contacts the factory directly, the foreign trade company will have no meaning of existence. If things go on like this, the foreign trade company will have no choice but to go bankrupt. .

Bibi Xiong has been engaged in Sino-Japanese trade for a period of time. In addition to handling various emails and some clerical work every day, he spends the rest of his time accompanying customers to visit factories. According to Japan's requirements, Bibi Bear needs to develop new products and needs to find new suppliers. Because we don’t know whether the new product will sell well in the early stage, most of the factories that are willing to cooperate are small and medium-sized enterprises. Bibi Xiong's boss is responsible for negotiating with the new factory, while Bibi Xiong is responsible for sorting out meeting records and learning experiences.

After the preliminary negotiation work is settled, it is time for the factory inspection. After the factory inspection is confirmed to be qualified, the sample confirmation step will be officially entered, and finally the formal order will be confirmed. In the early days, because the order volume was not large and the customers' requirements were not understood, the factories were quite cooperative. Later, as the number of orders increased and the proficiency of the workers increased, the factory felt that it could earn more profits by working directly with customers, so it thought about kicking us out and began to find ways to proactively approach customers.

One day, when Bibi Xiong was working in the company, he found that his supervisor was very angry and ran over and said: "Another factory proactively contacted customers and wanted to cooperate directly with them. They also expressed their willingness to reduce profits." Then. The supervisor showed Bibi Xiong the email sent by the Japanese customer. The Japanese refused to cooperate directly with the factory and asked us to rectify the supply chain management. Later, the company began to look for new suppliers with samples. When the quality of the products produced by the new suppliers stabilized, the factory was kicked out.

In fact, in the early days, the company where Bibi Xiong worked had already laid out the rules of the game. As long as they followed these rules of the game, the factory could continue to cooperate. But the supplier is not satisfied. He thinks that any businessman does not live for profit. As long as the profit is big enough, he can win any customer. But his customers are not Chinese, but traditional Japanese. For most Japanese companies, following rules is very important. Once the rules are determined, everyone must act according to the rules.

Last I heard that the factory closed down. The reason was that domestic trade was getting harder and harder to do, and foreign trade had not started. This factory failed to achieve the unity of knowledge and action. He clearly knew the rules of the game, but ignored them and insisted on following his own ideas, eventually leading himself to a dead end.

We are not afraid that people are not smart, but we are afraid that people will try to be clever. This will not only harm ourselves, but also harm our family members.

Many people have studied very hard, but their final test scores are not satisfactory at all, so they doubt whether there is something wrong with their IQ; many people have tried their best at work, but they always fail. Unable to deal with emergencies and various problems at work, they can only stay in their original positions and then complain that their bosses will not give them promotions and salary increases; some people continue to start businesses and try mistakes, and end up in debt, complaining about their own lives. In the wrong time.

No matter which dynasty or period we are born in, there will always be some rich and some poor. There is no shortage of hard-working people in this world, but not every hard-working person can succeed in the end. According to Bibi Xiong’s shallow knowledge and experience, the reason why many people fail even after hard work is that they fail to achieve the “unity of knowledge and action”. This sentence comes from Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty. It is the core of Yangming culture and the code of conduct for Bibi Xiong throughout his life.
