Give a few detailed examples of success or failure.

There is such a story in ancient China:

There is a village on the bank of the Yellow River. In order to prevent floods, farmers built towering long dams. One day, an old farmer happened to find that the nest suddenly increased a lot. The old farmer thought: Will these ant nests affect the safety of the long embankment? He is going back to the village to report that he met his son on the way. Hearing this, the old farmer's son said disapprovingly, why are you afraid of a few small ants on such a strong long embankment? Then, he went to the fields with the old farmer. It was stormy that night, and the water of the Yellow River soared. The roaring river began to penetrate from the ant nest, then sprayed, and finally washed away the long embankment and flooded large areas of villages and fields along the coast. This is the origin of the idiom "A levee of a thousand miles, which collapses in an ant nest".

For a long time, I always thought this idiom was just a warning motto to prevent a slight mistake. There is no such case in real life, but now I know that "a thousand miles of embankment collapses in an ant nest" does exist.

Since 1970s, there have been 13 breakwaters and 9 dams in Qingyuan, Guangdong. It was verified that 9 dikes and 5 dams were the result of soil termites. 1In July, 986, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province suffered a severe flood since the founding of the People's Republic of China. There are 62 dikes in Meijiang, 55 of which are gaps caused by soil termites. 198 1 in September, 2008, there were 18 gaps in Yang Mo levee in Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province, among which 6 were found to be caused by soil termites.

In the summer of 2003, the Yangtze River was hit by a severe flood, and piping occurred in Nanping Town, Gongan County, Jingjiang levee, and the levee was in danger. Several old water conservancy experts were sharp-eyed, promptly judged that piping was caused by termites, and led the masses to take effective measures. After five hours of fighting, the danger was finally eliminated.

People will inevitably ask such a question: how can small termites do so much harm?

It turns out that the ants in the "ant nest" that caused the breach were not what we usually call ants, but termites. Termites and ants are very different in insect classification: the former belongs to Isoptera and the latter belongs to Hymenoptera; There are also obvious differences in morphology: the front wings of winged adults of ants are obviously larger than the rear wings, while the front and rear wings of termites are equal in length, so they belong to Isoptera in classification.

Soil termites are social insects, and their huge nests are built underground. There are at least millions of soil termites in adult ant nests, and there is a strict "social division of labor" in the ant nest population: the queen ant and the queen ant are the leaders of the group, specializing in breeding offspring; The task of soldier ants is to supervise the labor of worker ants and be responsible for safety; Worker ants, with the largest number, are laborers of this group, engaged in basic labor such as nesting and foraging. The queen ant and the place where the queen ant lives are called main nests, and the cavity area is 1 cubic meter to several cubic meters. The main nest and the auxiliary nest (also known as the fungus garden) are connected by an ant passage, and the inner diameter of the main ant passage is 6 cm to12 cm; Some termite paths extend in all directions, even through the inner and outer slopes of dams.

The harm of soil termites is hidden, and their whereabouts are hidden. Even though the earth-rock dam is seriously damaged, it is still intact from the outside. Some nests are big enough to accommodate four burly men. It's really a trap. It is not uncommon for people to get caught up in it. Even a cow can't get rid of it. There have even been cases where jeeps are caught inside. Because soil termites are constantly grouping, feeding and nesting on the dam, the ant nests on the dam are "dotted" and the dam has been hollowed out. When the flood season comes, the water level rises and water flows into ant passages and nests, causing piping and leakage and destroying dams. From this point of view, termites can indeed cause the consequences of long breakwaters, and scientific and meticulous observation and research is a necessary condition for nip in the bud. Any carelessness and neglect of details will bring unimaginable consequences.

3. A person who can't even keep his resume well.

A person who can't keep his resume well can't manage a department well. Details can show the perfection of the whole, and can also affect and destroy the perfection of the whole. I read a report in Wuhan Morning Post that Chen Mou, a fresh graduate of Jianghan University, stumbled over a resume when applying for a job.

What happened was this: On the morning of attending the job fair, Xiao Chen accidentally knocked over the cup and soaked the resume on the table. In order to get to the meeting as soon as possible, Xiao Chen simply dried his resume and stuffed it into his backpack with other things.

At the recruitment site, Xiao Chen took a fancy to the position of advertising planning supervisor of a real estate company in Shenzhen. According to the requirements of this enterprise, the recruiter will have a simple conversation with the applicant first, and then get the resume, and the person who gets the resume will get an interview.

When it was Chen Xiao's turn, the recruiter asked Chen Xiao three questions and asked him for his resume. When Xiao Chen was flattered to take out his resume, he found that there was not only a large piece of water stain on the resume, but also a scratch in the bag, which was deformed with scratches on keys and other things. Xiao Chen tried to smooth it out and handed it over. Looking at this scarred resume, the recruiter frowned and accepted it. The wrinkled resume is sandwiched between a bunch of neat resumes and looks very dazzling.

Three days later, Xiao Chen took part in the interview, and his performance was very active. Whether he is operating PHOTOSHOP on the spot or doing oral promotion for virtual products, he has done well. Xiao Chen was a key member of the school drama club when he was studying at school, and he also improvised a sketch, which won the praise of the interviewer. When he finished the interview and walked out of the office, a responsible lady said to him, "You are the best interviewer today."

However, one week after the interview, Xiao Chen still didn't get a reply. He was so anxious that he couldn't help calling the lady to ask about the situation. The young lady was silent for a while and told him, "In fact, the person in charge of recruitment is very satisfied with you, but you lost on your resume. The boss said that a person who can't even keep his resume well can't manage a department well. You should know that your resume actually represents your personal image. It is not rigorous to throw a messy resume. "

This incident taught Xiao Chen a profound lesson. Since then, he has become more careful. He deeply feels that sometimes it is only a small detail that determines the success or failure of things.

Resume is not only a tool for self-marketing, but also represents a person's image. Therefore, when applying for a job, you must write a resume and save it.

Perfect self is hard to show, it needs to be perfect in every detail; But it's easy to ruin yourself. As long as you don't pay attention to one detail, it will bring you irreparable influence.
