Yang Ming, the great Confucian king of the Ming Dynasty, who advocated the "unity of knowledge and action", paid great attention to practice in dealing with people. In the long journey of life, everyone will experience difficulties that lead to depression in life. In fact, this is the perfect time for self-training, and it depends on how you use it!

Anyone can cope with a situation that is going well and be in a relaxed mood, but to know the true value of a person, it must be seen in the way he copes with the difficulties and setbacks. In times of adversity, many people become passive and decadent, self-defeating and self-depraved; Ignoring the advice and dangers of others, and bringing about their own destruction in anger; Or suddenly life becomes disorganized and overwhelmed; Or in a pinch, because of the loss of reason and the wrong judgment...... None of these people are good enough to take on big things. In order not to fall into this situation, you should temper yourself in normal times.

So how do you temper yourself? Mr. Yang Ming attaches great importance to the concept of "grinding on things", that is, relying on daily work to train himself, and does not deliberately rely on people's help, which is his focus.

In this regard, Mr. Yang Ming once said:

"It is good for a man to be tempered in his work. If you only have a quiet heart, you will be chaotic when you encounter something, and you will not grow in the end, and your work will be poor when you are quiet. ”

No matter how much knowledge is accumulated, it will not help much in life's circumstances; What is needed in life is knowledge that can be used in life, and this knowledge must be experienced in real life, like the third eye of human beings, which is keenly felt before an event happens. And what Mr. Yang Ming is talking about is nothing more than the knowledge that is similar to the sixth sense, that is, experience. For the sake of future success, for the sake of long-term interests, distant friendship and close attack, so that personal success will not be far away.

To participate in the competition in the international market, it is a good policy to make friends from afar and attack closely. Because, although the near and distant opponents may become strong enemies that affect their survival and development, the interests of the near opponents and themselves are more realistic and concrete, and the distant opponents can also unite with them to enhance their close offensive strength as long as they do not kill them.

Therefore, it is not possible to separate the long-distance and close-range attacks. If the two are organically linked together and complement each other, you can win the game.

In the business war, the strategy of "long-distance friendship and close attack" can be extended as: there are many favorable factors for opening up a nearby market or competing with a nearby opponent, and there are many unfavorable factors for opening up a distant market or competing with a distant opponent. In order to make the situation favorable to oneself, it is also possible to unite with distant opponents at the right time.

From the perspective of the concept of time, the strategy of "long-distance communication and close attack" can be understood as conforming to market demand and seeking short-term benefits; We can also focus on the future and make long-term plans to maintain a good momentum of development.

From the point of view of business projects, the strategy of "long-distance friendship and close attack" is also applicable to the planning and development of enterprises, if you rashly engage in industries that are not your own expertise, and fight against distant opponents, you will fail.
