arguments that are not classic arguments

(1) Managing people's hearts

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Li Shageng, the owner of a dim sum shop in Nanchang City, won a lot of customers with his genuine products at reasonable prices. But after he made money, he used fake money and became negligent towards customers, and his business gradually declined. One day, Zheng Banqiao, a famous calligrapher and painter, came to the store for dinner. Li Shageng was so surprised that he respectfully asked him to inscribe the name of the store. Zheng Banqiao wrote the inscription "Li Shageng Dim Sum Shop" with six characters. The calligraphy was vigorous and powerful, attracting everyone to watch, but no one ate. It turned out that the word "heart" was missing a little bit, so Li Shageng asked to write a little more. But Zheng Banqiao said: "That's right. Your business used to be prosperous because you had this in your heart. Now your business is slow, just because you lack this in your heart." Li Shageng realized the importance of running a life. . Since then, he has corrected his past mistakes and once again won the hearts and minds of the market.

The human heart is an intangible asset and a huge wealth that cannot be ignored. For enterprises and merchants, managing people's hearts is the key to healthy and sustainable development of the business.

(2) Ordinary and Extraordinary

Haier President Mr. Zhang Ruimin once said when comparing the seriousness of the Chinese and Japanese nations: If a Japanese is asked to wipe the table six times a day, The Japanese will do it to the letter and insist on wiping it six times a day; but if a Chinese is asked to do it, he may wipe it six times on the first day and six times on the second day, but on the third day, Maybe five, four, three times. Later, it was settled. In view of this, he said that doing every ordinary thing well is extraordinary.

(3) The way to success

A young man asked a rich man for advice on the way to success, but the rich man took three pieces of watermelon of different sizes and placed them in front of the young man, "If each piece Watermelon represents a certain degree of benefit. Which piece do you choose?"

"Of course it is the biggest piece!" The young man answered without hesitation.

The rich man smiled: "Okay, please!" The rich man handed the biggest piece of watermelon to the young man, but he ate the smallest piece.

Soon, the rich man finished eating, then picked up the last piece of watermelon on the table, waved it proudly in front of the young man, and started eating.

The young man immediately understood what the rich man meant: Although the melons the rich man ate were not as big as the melons of the young man, he ate more than the young man.

If each piece of watermelon represents a certain degree of benefit, then the rich man will naturally have more benefits than the young man.

After eating the watermelon, the rich man said to the young man: "If you want to succeed, you must learn to give up. Only by giving up immediate interests can you obtain long-term benefits. This is my way to success."

(4) Heweigui Thought Coordinates Human Development

In the 20th century, humans began to realize the importance of protecting biological diversity and achieving sustainable development. Some scholars have even discovered that there are problems with existing basic theoretical concepts, which have led to the existence of a series of crises in human society. National conflicts and cultural conflicts have become increasingly fierce. Some even say that the conflict of civilizations will replace the conflict of ideologies and become the theme of the world. In response to this phenomenon, experts quoted Nobel Prize winner Alvin's doctoral student as saying: If human beings want to survive, they must go back to 25 centuries ago to absorb the wisdom of Confucius.

Some scholars believe that it is generally recognized that Confucius’ wisdom can play a leading role in terms of morality and ethics. More than two thousand years ago, Confucius put forward the idea that "a gentleman is harmonious but different". "Harmony" mainly refers to the unity of diversity. Diversity is a prerequisite for "harmony" and is also the objective existence of nature and human society. It is not enough for things to remain in diversity. It is also necessary for a variety of things to live in harmony, learn from each other's strengths, and develop together. Harmonious without being the same, different without conflicting with each other. Harmony thrives and grows, and differences complement each other. The development of human society shows that the situation of a few big countries carving up the world cannot last long.

(5) Suffering is a problem

There was a well-known group CEO. Before the age of 40, he was in poverty and his family was destitute. No one, including his wife, looked down upon him. But he went to sea alone and started a small business. In just ten years, he expanded a handicraft workshop into a private enterprise with assets of 100 million yuan.

A reporter interviewed him: "If you were born in the city, received a good education, and had a stable living environment, your achievements would be greater now."

He was silent for a while. , said: "Perhaps it is possible. But I believe that if I did not live in the countryside and have not experienced so many hardships, but had clothes and housing like other city people, and had people who valued me, I would live with peace of mind. I would never I will not open my own family workshop. In this sense, I want to thank life."

Suffering does not mean eternal suffering, and happiness does not mean eternal happiness. People's best work is often done in adversity. Ideological pressure and even physical pain can become spiritual stimulants. The United States once conducted a sample survey of a thousand rich people, and found that most of them were born in ordinary families, and some even spent their youth in black areas. Life is really like magic sometimes, with incredible results.

Suffering is not terrible. What is terrible is that you do not realize that suffering itself contains endless opportunities. If you think it is a subtraction question, then you already know the answer, and it will subtract everything you have. , including life. If you think of it as an addition problem, the result might be an infinite number.

(6) Three Scribes

Li Jinxi (1890-1978) is a famous master of Chinese studies in my country. In the first ten years of the Republic of China, he ran a newspaper in Hunan. At that time, there were three people who helped him copy manuscripts. The first scribe was taciturn and just copied the manuscript honestly, copying all typos and typos correctly. This person has remained unknown ever since. The second scribe was very conscientious and carefully checked each manuscript before copying it. Any typos or incorrect sentences should be corrected. Later, this scribe wrote a lyrics, and after Nie Er composed the music, it was named "March of the Volunteers". He was Tian Han. The third scribe was different. He also read each manuscript carefully, but he only copied the manuscripts that were consistent with his own opinions. He threw away those manuscripts that he disagreed with without copying a word. Later, this man established the People's Republic of China with "March of the Volunteers" as its national anthem. He is Mao Zedong.

(7) Reprimanded Diligence

Rutherford, the founder of modern atomic physics, highly praised thinking. Late one night, he accidentally found a student still immersed in experiments, and asked curiously: "What are you doing in the morning?" The student replied: "Doing experiments." Rutherford couldn't help but frowned, and continued to ask: "That night "I'm also doing experiments."

The diligent student thought he would be praised by the instructor, but unexpectedly Rutherford got angry and scolded: "You are here all day long. When doing experiments, when do you spend time thinking?"

The diligent students were reprimanded, which seemed aggrieved, but in fact the master was spreading the truth. Many times people would rather let their time be submerged in busyness that seems to be valuable, but they are extremely unwilling to take the time to think, so that their thinking wanders at a low level and ultimately achieves nothing.

If wisdom is the source of creation, then thinking is the starting point of wisdom.

(8) Always be a hard-working person

In the United States, there is a person who does almost the same thing every day of the year: as soon as the sun rises , just bend over in front of the typewriter and start writing for the day. This man's name is Stephen King, an internationally renowned novelist.

Stephen King’s experience was very bumpy. He was once so poor that he couldn’t even pay his phone bill, and the phone company cut off his phone line because of this. Later, he became a world-famous master of horror novels. He kept writing manuscripts all day long, and often a novel was still stored in his brain, and the publisher paid him a high deposit. Today, he is considered a millionaire in the world, but he still spends his time diligently creating.

Stephen King’s secret is very simple, with only two words: Diligence. There were only three days a year when he was not writing. These three days are: birthdays, Christmas, and Independence Day (National Day). The benefit that diligence brings to him is never-ending inspiration. Academic master Ji Xianlin once said: “Diligence brings inspiration.

"

(9) One plus one can be greater than two

A Jew taught his son: "Our only wealth is wisdom. When others say that 1 plus 1 equals 2, you It should be thought that it is greater than 2. ”

In 1974, the U.S. government solicited bids from the public to clean up the large pile of waste generated by the renovation of the Statue of Liberty. But several months passed and no one accepted the bid, because in New York State, garbage There are strict regulations on handling, and he may be prosecuted by environmental groups.

The Jewish son was traveling in France at the time. When he heard the news, he immediately terminated his vacation and flew to New York to see the Statue of Liberty. After unloading the piles of copper blocks, screws and wood, he said nothing and immediately signed an agreement with the government department.

After the news spread, many transportation companies in New York were secretly laughing. Many of his colleagues also believe that waste recycling is thankless and the value of the resources that can be recycled is really limited. This move is really stupid.

While these people were watching the joke, he had already started to organize workers. Sorting the scraps. He had scrap copper melted and cast into a small Statue of Liberty, old wood was processed into a base, scrap copper and aluminum scraps were made into the key to the New York Plaza, and he even swept the statue from the statue. The dust is packed and sold to florists.

These scrap coppers, scraps, and dust are sold at several times or even dozens of times higher than their original value, and the supply exceeds the demand. In a matter of months, he turned this pile of scrap into 3.5 million US dollars, and the price of copper per pound increased 10,000 times.

There is no equation in a commercial society. When you complain about business. When it’s difficult, someone may be counting money and out of breath. The secret is: you think 1 plus 1 equals 2, but he insists that 1 plus 1 can be greater than 2.

(10) Wal-Mart: Don’t look at diplomas

Wal-Mart, the American retail empire ranked first among the world’s top 500 companies, is recognized by the management community as one of the companies with the most cultural characteristics. Fortune magazine commented that it “spends a lot of money on training.” and promoting internal staff to gain employee loyalty and enthusiasm. 60% of the managers started from small jobs. "In Wal-Mart, many employees have not received a college education. Having an MBA diploma does not necessarily win the appreciation of senior managers unless you prove your strength through your own efforts and outstanding work performance. But this does not mean that The company does not pay attention to the quality of its employees. On the contrary, the company encourages employees to be proactive in all aspects and provides opportunities for training and promotion for every employee who wants to improve themselves. In general retail companies, people without more than ten years of work experience are simply not eligible. They will be considered for promotion to managers, and in Wal-Mart, after six months of training, if they perform well and have the potential to manage employees and merchandise sales well, the company will give them a chance to try their skills as assistant managers first. , or assist in opening a new store, and if you do well, you will have the opportunity to manage a branch. Therefore, the vast majority of Wal-Mart's managers today came from the company's management training program and were promoted from within the company. /p>

(11) Sony: Experts who are not superstitious

In recent years, when recruiting college students, Japan’s Sony Corporation adopts the policy of “no asking, no telling, no writing” about the name of the school. "Three No's" policy. The company believes that in the era of fierce competition and change, enterprises need all kinds of talents. Only by bringing all kinds of people together can they better exert their creativity and develop new products. Only in Recruiting talents from a few prestigious universities will make the company lose its vitality, said Dai Ibuka, one of the founders of Sony: "I have never been superstitious to experts. Experts tend to argue why you don't or can't do something, and we often do. The emphasis is on starting from scratch and working hard. "Therefore, Sony likes people who are sharp-minded, non-conformist, and courageous to explore and innovate. They encourage scientific and technological talents to "change jobs" and find new positions in any department of the company, and "self-recommend" to participate in project development and research. The company believes that such people Those who are open-minded, active in thinking, have broad interests, have creative consciousness and innovative spirit, are doers rather than talkers, have the potential to be cultivated and developed, and should be reused.

(12) Success is just a state of mind

There was once a dedicated old cleaner in the Kremlin. She said: "My job is similar to Yeltsin's. Yeltsin is cleaning up Russia, and I am cleaning up the Kremlin. Everyone is doing their own thing." She said it so relaxedly and happily, it was very touching. , also very thought-provoking.

The old cleaner in the Kremlin is a commoner with a low status in front of dignitaries, but she does not feel inferior, and she humorously compares her work with that of the president, which shows her open-mindedness and open-mindedness. magnanimous. Whether they are the king of a country or a common citizen, they are all doing what they should do. Therefore, she carefully cleans up the dust and garbage in the red wall every day, and at the same time cleans away the depression and confusion scattered in her heart.

(Thirteen) The greatest misfortune

A man was framed when he was 23 years old and stayed in a cell for 9 years. Later, the unjust case was solved and he finally got out of prison. After he was released from prison, he began to accuse and curse repeatedly all year round: "It is so unfortunate for me that I was wronged when I was the youngest and most promising, and I spent what should have been the best time in prison. Such a prison is simply inhumane. The place where I live is so narrow that it is difficult to even turn around. The bright sunshine can hardly be seen through the only small window. It is unbearably cold in winter and bitten by mosquitoes in summer... I really don’t understand why God doesn’t punish the guy who framed me. Even if I cut him into pieces, it would still be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

At the age of 73, he was finally bedridden due to poverty and illness. When he was dying, the pastor came to his bedside: "Poor child, before you go to heaven, repent of all your sins in this world..." As soon as the pastor finished speaking, he shouted hoarsely on the hospital bed: "I There is nothing to repent, what I need is a curse, a curse on those who gave me my unfortunate fate..."

The priest asked: "How many years have you been in prison for being wronged and how long have you lived after leaving prison? How many years?" He told the number to the priest viciously.

The pastor sighed: "Poor man, you are really the most unfortunate person in the world. I really feel extremely sympathetic and sad for your misfortune! But others imprisoned you for only 9 years, and When you were supposed to be free forever when you walked out of prison, you imprisoned yourself for 41 years with the hatred, complaints and curses in your heart!"

(14) The value of old newspapers

Old newspapers, if sold to a scrap collector, cost about three or four cents per pound.

But there is an old newspaper store on Wujiang Road in Shanghai that specializes in old newspapers such as "People's Daily", "Guangming Daily", "Liberation Army Daily" and "Wenhui Daily". Ordinary newspapers in the 1960s, each of them cost It sells for 218 yuan. Even an ordinary newspaper in the 1980s cost 128 yuan each. Those ordinary old newspapers that are not worth collecting are actually selling very well.

It turns out that the merchant’s promotion is like this: Sell an old birthday newspaper for yourself or your relatives! The yellowed old newspapers and the nostalgic packaging have some historical charm. The customers are mainly Shanghai citizens in their twenties and thirties. They either buy newspapers from the day they were born to see what happened in the world on the day they were born, or they sell them as gifts to their elders to remind them of their youth.

The boss is called Liu Debao, and he has always been interested in collecting old newspapers. He positioned the selling point of old newspapers as birthday gifts, which is unique, elegant and charming; it can not only satisfy the curiosity of young people about the era in which they were born, but also arouse the nostalgia of the bygone years in middle-aged and elderly people. Old newspapers that cost 30 to 40 cents per pound can be sold at a high price of 100 to 200 yuan each. The price has increased more than a thousand times. It can be said to be a very high value-added!

(15) Examples of mistakes caused by language in the history of science

1. American chemist Lewis proposed the valence bond theory in a paper in 1916, but it was once called Langmuir theory in the 1920s. The reason is that although Lewis is very smart, he is introverted and not good at talking. After he proposed the *** valence bond theory, it did not cause much response. As a result, this theory is on the verge of extinction.

Fortunately, three years later, Langmuir, a sharp-thinking chemist, saw the great significance of the *** valence bond theory. Therefore, on the one hand, with his lively and fluent writing, he published articles in influential publications such as the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Publishing a series of papers, and delivering many speeches at large domestic academic conferences with eloquent eloquence, finally brought this theory out of its predicament and gained universal recognition.

2． It is now universally recognized that American scientist Wiener is the founder of information theory because he systematically elaborated on information theory in the 1950s and established Wiener filtering theory and signal prediction theory. But it was Chinese mathematician Shannon who proposed information theory as early as the 1930s. The person who first proposed information theory did not become the founder. The reasons are certainly complicated, but one thing is certain. One of the reasons is that Shannon failed to make full use of Chinese tools to systematically elaborate and widely publicize information theory.

3. The famous physicist Faraday discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction as early as 1873. However, because he used obscure terms when discussing this phenomenon, this important scientific discovery was shelved for 26 years. Later, thanks to the poetry-loving physicist Maxwell, who described it with his unique image thinking and concise language, this major scientific discovery was made public.

(16) Ways of giving back

The 15-year-old son of a French farmer couple suffered from a malignant skin disease. The couple borrowed all the money they could and received the My son goes everywhere to see a doctor. That winter, in a hospital in Marseille, the mother accompanied her son for treatment. The son slept on the hospital bed, and the mother sat on the cold floor with her clothes undressed. For dozens of days and nights, she did not sleep peacefully for a single night. . The mother and son ate bread brought from home, but the doctors couldn't stand it. At lunch, they would always bring them two steaks, but the mother still ate cold bread and left the steaks for her son.

Later, the son's condition continued to deteriorate, and the doctor told the mother: "The child's disease cannot be cured, and a lot of money will be needed to maintain his life." The mother returned to the ward, packed her luggage silently, and then calmly said The child said: "Let's go home."

Later, the child's misfortune was reported by some media in Paris, and kind-hearted people donated money in the hope of keeping his life. However, this was a very serious disease and the child died.

Before the child passed away, he wrote down the names of well-wishers one by one in his notebook. He told his parents: "I don't want to die, but I know that my illness is dragging you down. I will die After that, they must return the money to others.”

After the child was buried, the family was empty and life was in question, but they had not forgotten the child’s last wish. The couple sold their property, walked through the snow, knocked on every door, returned the money one by one to those who had helped them, and said to those kind people: "The child is gone, thank you very much." You help."

People refused to accept it, and they cried: "The child's wish cannot be violated!" Everyone had to accept it with tears. For the money that could not be returned, they established a fund, which can be used to help those who are sick or in trouble. They said that the cattle they had raised for a year could be sold, and the vineyards they planted could also earn some money. They wanted to replenish the fund...

(17) Failure is the best compass

An explorer sets out for the North Pole, but ends up at the South Pole. When someone asked him why, he said: "I was carrying a compass and couldn't find the North Pole." The other person said: "How is it possible? Isn't the North Pole opposite the South Pole? Just turn around."

Success and failure are the same wilderness. It is a deep pool that can make you drown, and it is also a sweet spring that can quench your thirst. Who can clearly see everything from the beginning and find the path leading to the dark willows and bright flowers? You must experience failure and eliminate all impossible fakes and plausible fantasies one by one, and only what is left will be the only correct one.

When we are knocked dizzy and bruised again and again in life, failure is the best compass, pointing the wrong direction with its everlasting pointer and reminding us: Turn around and you will see success on the other side.

(18) The Salesmanship of a Gold Coin

In a remote alley in a French city, people were crowded. I saw a man in his 50s, taking out a bottle of strong glue, and then taking out a gold coin. He lightly applied a thin layer of glue on the back of the gold coin, and then attached it to the wall. Soon, people came one after another to try their luck to see who could take off the gold coin worth 5,000 francs on the wall.

People came and went in the alley, but in the end no one could take the gold coin, and the gold coin stuck firmly to the wall.

It turned out that the man was a boss. Since his store was in a remote location and the business was sluggish, he came up with a wonderful advertising method: using the glue for sale to stick a gold coin worth 5,000 francs on the Whoever removes it from the wall will own the gold coin.

No one bought the gold coin that day, but everyone got to know a kind of strong glue. From then on, the supply of glue in that store exceeded the demand.

(19) Choice

Three disciples of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates once asked their teacher for advice on how to find an ideal partner. Socrates did not give a direct answer, but asked them to walk on the ridge of the field. They were only allowed to move forward, and they were only given one chance. The requirement was to pick the best and largest ear.

The first disciple saw a big and beautiful ear after walking a few steps, and happily picked it off. But when he continued to move forward, he found that there were many bigger ones in front of him, but there was no chance, so he had to finish the journey with regret.

The second disciple learned his lesson. Whenever he wants to pick something, he always reminds himself that there is a better one behind. But when he was approaching the finish line, he realized that he had missed all the opportunities.

The third disciple learned the lessons of the first two disciples. When he walked one third of the way, he was divided into three categories: large, medium and small. When he walked another third, he verified whether it was correct. When he reached the last third, he chose a beautiful ear that belonged to the big category. . Although this ear is not the best and biggest in the field, for him, it is already satisfying.

Post a few as examples, check this website, there is a lot of information
