Don't sit on two chairs

Author: Ciyu

People are one, and they lose in the second and third.

When a world -renowned male treble Pavarotti graduated from the Normal University, he was in a difficult choice:

Is it a teacher, or do you engage in your favorite singing career, or take care of both?

After the ideological struggle has no results, he had to ask the father of the bakery.

After my father thought for a moment, he said:

"Child, if you want to sit on two chairs at the same time, your butt may fall from the gap between the chairs to the ground. Life requires you to choose one chair to sit up."

After hearing, Pavarotti suddenly opened up. Since then, he has devoted himself to singing, and eventually became a first -class singer.

"Don't sit on two chairs" is a rare sober.

In life, everything who wants to take up everything often gets nothing in the end.

Rather than cut wells everywhere, it is better to dig deep well, and you can drink the water of life in life.

In 1889, French businessman Edward founded a tire workshop.

Under his efforts to run, the small workshop developed soundly and quickly became a large company.

Because the size of the enterprise is getting bigger and bigger, Edward wants to lay out more business.

At that time, maritime shipping was developed. He felt that the shipbuilding industry was very profitable and immediately established a shipyard.

Later, he heard that others said that the brewing industry was very promising, and quickly opened a brewing company.

He thought he would catch every wind, and his career would be booming.

It didn't take long for all the companies in his name to start losing money, and even tire companies that survived also faced an economic crisis.

In this regard, Edward is puzzled.

One day, he came to a vineyard to investigate and saw the farmers who took off some green grapes and threw it away.

He felt a pity, so he asked: "These grapes don't look problems. Why should they pick them off?"

The farmers answered:

Do not remove some grapes, all grapes will snatch the nutrients with each other.

Only by taking off can the remaining grapes absorb more nutrients and grow better.

After listening to this explanation, Edward suddenly realized:

This is the same as my management company. I always think that the more business, the more successful it is. The result of too much business has dispersed my energy, and in the end I did nothing well.

In the following half a year, Edward stopped the business of shipyards, brewing factories, and made every effort to invest in the field of tire production.

Until now, his tire business has covered more than 200 countries and regions around the world.

The tire company he created was hailed as "the leader of global tire technology" -mirin.

Okham, a logicist of England in the 14th century, put forward a principle: if there is no need, do not increase the entity.

less is more. East is a hammer and west of the western hammer, but it is easy to become a cannon fodder.

To do one thing to the extreme, it is better than doing 10,000 things.

"Chess Saint" Wu Qingyuan is good at chess skills.

Once in Japan, another Go master Nie Weiping and his friend Shen Junshan were in Dakan Taka Bridge.

After hearing Wu Qingyuan on the side, he came over and said seven words to Nie Weiping: Bo Er Rabbit, not a rabbit.

Later, Nie Weiping said annoyed that if he obeyed his advice and attached to Go, he might have achieved greater achievements in chess.

Another time, Mei Lanfang liked Go and asked Go Qingyuan, a master of Go.

Wu Qingyuan said, you, let's play your show well, you think of Go in your mind, it won't work on the stage.

Many times, it is not as good as a single breakthrough.

Bowing deeply in one thing can become the unique master of the field.

In 2003, Bi Shumin decided to give up his doctorate degree in psychology for many years.

You know, for this degree, she has worked hard for 5 years and has experienced more than 2,000 days and nights.

With only one graduation thesis, she can end a successful picture for her academics.

When many friends regret her sorry for her, she said soberly:

Life is so precious for people who have been over 50 years old, and it is not worth going to read foreign languages ​​for half a year.

At that time, Bi Shumin had a 50th birthday. She was weak in foreign languages ​​and needed at least half a year to barely cope with the exam.

And if you want to write a dissertation, it will conflict with her novel creation.

After repeated weighing, Bi Shumin gave up his doctorate, instead of writing, writing a series of popular works.
