Eight-character idiom story 3 minutes to 5 minutes

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Yan Zi recruited a man named Gao Pian to work in Qi. This dazzling man is also serious and responsible for his work. He does whatever Yan Zi tells him to do. But when it comes to unnecessary things, he always has nothing to do with himself and hangs high, unwilling to take on more responsibilities and make more suggestions. In this way, Gao Kuang spent three years under Yan Zi's door.

One day, Yan Zi suddenly announced that he would quit Gao Kuang and let him go home to farm. Many people were puzzled and discouraged: "Gao Kuang has worked in Xiangfu for so long and worked diligently. You didn't give him a title, but you should give him up. Is this reasonable? " Yan Zi said: "I am a person with limited ability. I need the help of people around me to stand up. Gao Pian has been with me for more than three years. He is very popular, but his political achievements are average. He has always done more than one thing, never made good suggestions, and never corrected my mistakes. Shouldn't he be fired? . "Listen to this, the people around you feel very reasonable.

What enlightenment can we get from the story of being laid off by Gao Biao? In Yan Zi's view, the dazzling "more than one thing is better than less" is dereliction of duty.

He is a useless man, so it is natural to dismiss him. This story tells us that in the workplace, we must be willing to do things, be able to do things, want to do things, and do more. We can't be arrogant because of one thing. People who hold lofty work concepts are good for private interests and bad for public interests. No matter how smart and popular they are, they can't escape the fate of being eliminated

At that time, 25-year-old American boy Bross was the most junior speech writer in the State Council. After being nominated as Secretary of State, Rice called all the speechwriters to the White House to discuss her speech at the appointment hearing. As the saying goes, "Every courtier is once an emperor", and many people don't know whether they can keep this job, so most of them hold the attitude of "talking more is better than talking less" to make the meeting calm. At this time, Bross stood up and suggested: "I don't think foreign policy is clear enough. As the new Secretary of State, I should elaborate on my diplomatic program at the hearing. " Bross's speech immediately caught the attention of Rice.
