Chapter 0523 - Barrel Theory

Xu Haodong smiled first, and then said: "Counting from 2004, another 12 years have passed, that is, this year, 2016, Yang Yongdi, the eldest grandson of your Yang family, graduated from the School of Management of Dongjiang University five months ago. Elder Yang Liu, I would like to ask first, what changes have been significantly different from before during the period of about half a year for your eldest grandson, Yang Yongdi? ”

The old man Yang Liuren thought for a while and said: "If there are any obvious changes that are different from before, there are mainly these points: first, I have learned to do housework and cook vegetables; Second, learn to think independently and make your own decisions not to study abroad; Third, enter the family business and be willing to start from the low-level; Fourth, start exercising, and your physique is greatly enhanced. ”

Xu Haodong smiled and said: "Elder Yang Liu, I have written an economic paper of more than 600,000 words, and after it was published in early May, many economists communicated with me and pointed out the inappropriateness in it. Among them, a college student gave me a good piece of advice, and I used his advice in the revised version of my paper. And this college student is Yang Yongdi, the eldest grandson of Yang Liu, that is, since then, the two of us have become online friends, often exchanging reading experiences, especially views on economics, so we are not only netizens but also book friends, but also close friends. ”

Old man Yang Liuren sighed again, "I didn't expect this...... I said, just graduated from college, Yongdi has changed so much, it turns out that there is a friend of yours, Secretary Xu. ”

Xu Haodong said with a smile: "Elder Yang Liu, I want to make one thing clear, Yang Yongdi does not go abroad to study, but works in the family business, which is completely his own opinion. Of course, he consulted me, but my principle was that I would not give a decisive opinion when a friend was in the middle of a major life decision. ”

Yang Liuren nodded and asked, "Secretary Xu, I believe in you." Now I'm curious to know, have you met Yongdi? ”

Xu Haodong shook his head, "No, Yongdi proposed to communicate face-to-face, but I didn't agree." ”

Yang Liuren was puzzled, "Why?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "Because a rich third generation and a municipal party secretary openly interact, it is not good for both sides, this is one of them. In addition, I found Yongdi's biggest flaw, and I told him that I generally don't associate with people who have this flaw unless he makes a change. ”

Yang Liuren hurriedly asked: "What is the biggest shortcoming?" ”

Xu Haodong hesitated, "Can you say that?" ”

Yang Liuren smiled slightly, "There's nothing you can't say, Secretary Xu, if you can point it out and ask him to correct it, my whole family and I will thank you." ”

Xu Haodong said: "I have read many articles about Yang Yongdi, including his university thesis, chatted with him online, and seen his photos. I found that he was not in good health, or that his health was too poor, so I told him that if he could participate in the marathon during this year's National Day, as long as he finished 10 kilometers, I would invite him to dinner. ”

Yang Liuren asked curiously, "Secretary Xu, do you judge that Yongdi's health is not good just based on articles, papers, chats and photos?" ”

Xu Haodong said with a smile: "Yes, I have studied psychology by myself, and I have a little ability to observe words and colors, in order to stimulate Yongdi, I made a little show off, of course, Yongdi also admired me even more." ”

Yang Liuren stretched out his thumb and cocked, "Secretary Xu, you are really a god." Yongdi has been in poor health since he was a child, and he has always been sick, which is his biggest shortcoming, and it is also the heart disease of our Yang family. However, this time when he came back from college, he insisted on exercising every day, starting with half an hour in the morning and evening, then increasing to 45 minutes in the morning and evening, and now it has increased to an hour in the morning and evening. Our whole family is strange, how did this kid come out of his bones, it turned out that Secretary Xu was helping him. Secretary Xu, on behalf of the whole family, the old man solemnly expresses his gratitude to you. ”

Xu Haodong hurriedly waved his hand, "Elder Yang Liu, you are serious." Yongdi and I are friends, we learn from each other and help each other. ”

At this time, an old man said: "Secretary Xu, hello, I have an opinion, you can't always take care of Yang Liulao, I am also a grandson, he also has a biggest problem, I also want to ask you for advice." ”

Xu Haodong smiled, and the old man Yang Liuren also smiled, and everyone laughed.

After taking a few steps, Xu Haodong held the old man's hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Zide Xiao Lao, chairman of Dexing Machinery Industry Group Company." Xiao Lao, you and I also have fate, my father and my brother-in-law opened a mechanical processing factory in their hometown, and most of the equipment used are your products. ”

Xiao Zide said with a smile: "Secretary Xu, I won't talk about business today, I only talk about education, and talk about children's education." Tell us how you persuaded Yang Gongzi to exercise and work hard. ”

Yang Liuren said: "Yes, Secretary Xu, just talk about it." ”

"Seniors, then I will express a little personal opinion." Xu Haodong smiled and said: "For Yang Yongdi, I use the stimulation method, which is the stimulation method in layman's terms. I have communicated with Yang Yongdi through the Internet, and I can say for sure that he is a good boy, whether it is character or academics, he is worthy of the heir of the Yang Group. But I said to him, according to my formula for success in life, you can't be successful, or worthless. ”

"Yang Yongdi asked me why he was worthless. I told him that man is like a wooden barrel, and the barrel is used to hold water, and the more water it contains, the more successful the barrel is. A barrel is made up of a number of planks joined together, and the amount of water that a barrel can hold depends not on how high the barrel is, but on how high the shortest plank is. I also said that the barrel of man is made up of three kinds of planks, one of which is fixed, such as talent and family conditions; One is fair, such as the learning environment and the social environment; There is another kind that can be changed, that is, morality, intelligence, and physique. ”

"I have a formula for calculating success in life, which is composed of three factors: morality, intellect and physique. Virtue is character and quality and self-cultivation, everyone has a moral bottom line, the higher the bottom line, the more scores, the higher the success rate. Wisdom is knowledge, wisdom and talent, talent is the ability to show knowledge and wisdom, not only talent, but also need to learn and cultivate, but also need to learn. The body is the body, that is, sports, the great man said, the body is the capital of the revolution, I said to Yang Yongdi, the body is the capital of success. ”

"I said to Yang Yongdi that morality, intellect and physique are indispensable, and the vast majority of successful people in history have developed evenly in morality, intellect and physique. That is to say, if morality, intellect and physique are a whole, then the successful one must be the one with an even proportion of morality, intellect and physique, each of which is one-third. If you lack too much in one area, it will become a burden and will affect the other two areas infinitely. I said to Yang Yongdi, if you are not in good health, it will be difficult for you to display your talents, and the shortcomings of your wooden barrel will become two pieces, and they will be infinitely depressed, and you can't hold any water, aren't you worthless? ”

Xiao Zide nodded and asked, "Secretary Xu, you're right, I heard that you insist on exercising every day, do you have a personal experience?" ”
