Chapter 163: Garcia's Story
As a modern city person, with a three-inch tongue, dealing with strangers and negotiating is the most basic survival skill.
The biggest difference between us modern people and the people of the past is that the people we can come into contact with are different.
In the past, people were limited by road traffic and communication distance, and most of the people they came into contact with were natives, that is, they were basically the same villagers.
The result of this is that they have very few opportunities to deal with strangers, basically turning a few twists and turns, maybe all of them are relatives who can't be beaten by eight poles, so they have little experience in negotiating with strangers or persuading people.
But modern city dwellers are different, and we have to learn to deal with strangers from an early age.
From kindergarten onwards, we learn how to get along with other children. There we have to learn how to communicate, negotiate, persuade, lead and fight with strange children, not to mention strange aunts and principals to deal with.
Not to mention entering school, if you can have a few friends from the same kindergarten as you, you will be happy, but usually the result is that you are completely in a strange environment.
The classmates don't know each other, the teacher God knows where he jumped out of here, the principal hasn't seen it, who is the dean?
But we all have to deal with these people, maybe we can't see those who are high, but you can't avoid teachers and classmates, you always have to deal with them, you always have to intersect with them, right?
In this way, we have developed one of the most basic, practical, and successful skills from an early age, how to deal with strangers.
The end result is that we deal with strangers as if we city dwellers were as instinctive as eating and drinking.
The final result of this kind of ability is that we ignore its existence, which is too ordinary, have you ever seen anyone who will eat or something like that, as a skill to show off?
The biggest difference between city people and country people is the way they look when they communicate with strangers.
When urban people face strangers, most people do not have too much sense of crampedness and restraint, they can mingle happily with strangers when they are familiar, communicate happily, and have no feeling of inferiority, self-confidence, self-improvement is not humble or arrogant, and talk eloquently.
However, many people from the countryside have been in contact with strangers since childhood, and when they communicate with strangers, they will unconsciously reveal a very strange feeling, cramped and uneasy, very restrained, and they don't even know where to put their hands and feet.
It's not a disparagement of people from the countryside, that's a fact.
It's actually very simple to want to change, it's good to communicate with people a lot, it's not a big problem, it's just a result of environmental factors, and it's not a personality defect or something, a lot of communication with strangers will change, and even become more able to deal with strangers than urban people.
After all, they have such a kind of aggressiveness, they have the need to be willing to change their shortcomings, and they naturally have motivation when they have needs, and in the end, everyone usually finds that people from the countryside to the city are more able to communicate with strangers after a break after an initial period of discomfort than those in the city who grew up.
That is what everyone calls "more urban than urban people".
Gao Hongsheng is not a real city person, he belongs to the kind of semi-city person, but after he arrived in college, he basically changed to a city person, and because of the relationship between eating and drinking, he became more urban than an urban person.
He didn't come up and talk to them straight to the point, but after greeting and introducing both parties, he began to tell the story.
It's a story that's about to happen, a story from the Spanish-American War.
At this point, you should know what story I'm talking about, yes, it's "Letter to Garcia".
The hero of the story of "Letter to Garcia", the person who delivered the letter, was Andrew Rowan, a young lieutenant in the United States Army. It was the Spanish-American War, which lasted between the United States and Spain for colonies from April to December 1898. U.S. President John McKinley was in dire need of a suitable envoy for an important mission, and Military Intelligence recommended Andrew Rowan.
Alone and unguarded, Lieutenant Rowan set off at once, and it was not until he secretly landed on the island of Cuba that the Cuban patriots sent him a few local guides.
That adventure, in his own modest words, was surrounded by only a few enemies, and then managed to escape from it and deliver the letter to General Garcia, a man who held the decisive power in his hands.
There were naturally many unexpected fortuitous factors associated with personal efforts throughout the process, but in the heart of the young lieutenant, who was desperate to complete the task, there was absolute courage and indomitable spirit.
In recognition of his contributions, the commander of the U.S. Army presented him with a medal and praised him highly, saying: "I would like to consider this achievement the most adventurous and courageous in the history of military warfare." ”
There is no doubt about this, of course, but one should realize that the most important factor in achieving success is not because of his outstanding military talents, but because of his good moral character. Therefore, Lieutenant Rowan will always be remembered.
What this story reveals from it is actually what Gao Hongsheng wants his subordinates to abide by the most, "loyalty, dedication, obedience, credit, these guidelines that employees want to abide by and remember from the perspective of managers."
The booklet was so thin that Gao Hongsheng could say everything in it in two hours.
His real purpose is to tell everyone what kind of talent I need through the story of Guò, and he almost said something as straightforward as "I need to send a letter to Garcia's people".
Of course, he will not be stupid to tell the truth of this matter, but tell the story of an ancient country, and of course, he will also give everyone a copy of the "Story of Sending Letters" he wrote.
"Letter to Garcia" is simply an inspirational booklet, you can read it when you are bored, of course, it is impossible to finish the whole book in two hours, but it is enough to express the main meaning of it, if I code out the content of the speech, it is better to plagiarize, I just mention it here, if you want to read it, find Du Niang, a very good booklet. This kind of inspirational book seems easier said than done, and the people who write the book never take into account our real situation, but many of the truths in it are still true. This book is too old.,Too many bad roads guide zhì this book frequently hangs up.,I want to code words but in the repair of this book.,As a result, I had to come back after nine o'clock in the evening to code words.,So it's all released in the middle of the night.。
