The Principle of Egg Eating

There is a story: a family has a hen, which lays an egg every day. For this family, there can be three consumption options: one is to insist on eating one egg a day - break even; two is to kill and eat the chicken - overdraft; three is to insist on eating fewer eggs for some time, save 10, hatch into chicks, if the survival of 8, there are 4 hens, 4 roosters, after some days, the family can eat 5 eggs a day, and on special days, you can also kill a rooster to improve life. If the owner persists in this way, the consumption level will continue to increase and the accumulation will grow.

Insight: Facing the same thing, different positions make different perspectives. Three different consumption schemes reflect different consumption concepts. The whole world is constantly changing and developing, so it is necessary to look at things from the perspective of development. The third consumption scheme reflects the perspective of development.

The two contradictory sides are united in opposition and transformed into opposite directions under certain conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to look at the problem comprehensively and prevent one-sidedness. At the same time, create conditions to promote the transformation of both sides of the contradiction to the good side.

Zero-sum game principle

The zero-sum game principle is derived from game theory. The English name of game theory is GAME THEORY, which is directly translated as "game theory". In a game, the winner gets the same as the loser loses, the two add up, the positive and negative, and the sum must be zero, which is the so-called "zero-sum". The reason why the "zero-sum game" is so popular is that people find that there are situations similar to the "zero-sum game" in all aspects of society, and the glory of the winners is often hidden behind the bitterness and bitterness of the losers. But since the 20th century, the concept of "zero-sum game" is gradually being replaced by the concept of "non-zero-sum game", that is, "negative sum" or "positive sum The concept of "zero-sum game" is gradually replaced by the concept of "non-zero-sum game", that is, "negative-sum" or "positive-sum". A "negative-sum game" is one in which one side wins but pays a heavy price, so that the loss is not worth the gain. The winner gains more than the loser loses, or there is no loser, and the result is "win-win" or "win-win", which is called "positive sum". In a competitive society, people are beginning to realize that profit does not have to be based on the loss of others. Effective cooperation can lead to a happy ending for all. From "zero-sum" to "positive-sum", all parties are required to have the spirit and courage of sincere cooperation, abide by the rules of the game, do not play smart, do not always want to take advantage of others, otherwise, "win-win Otherwise, the "win-win" situation will not appear, and the losers will ultimately be themselves.

Insight: matter determines consciousness, we are required to do everything from the practical point of view. Starting from the actual, not from a single factor, but the complex and comprehensive actual, to specifically analyze each fact so that we can do everything from the actual. "Zero-sum", "negative-sum" and "positive-sum" are the three facts of the game results, and people only start from "zero-sum" in the past. In the past, people only started from the single fact of "zero-sum", but could not start from the comprehensive reality, especially ignoring the fact of "positive sum", which led to the formation of wrong subjective perceptions and brought certain losses to individuals and society.

The Rose and the Frog

A beautiful red rose is proud of being the most beautiful flower in the garden, but it finds that people always stand at a distance to admire it but never come closer. It turns out that there is a big and ugly frog squatting next to it. The red rose is very angry and orders the frog to disappear from its side immediately. The frog obediently left. Not long afterward, the frog passed by the red rose and was surprised to find that it had withered, its leaves and flowers have fallen off. The frog asked, "Noble red rose, you look very bad, what has happened?" The red rose replied, "Since you left, the worms have been eating me every day and I can never regain my old beauty." The frog said, "Of course, I helped you eat all the bugs while I was here, and you became the most beautiful flower in the garden."

Insight: The red rose, pretending to be noble, thought that the frog was not only useless in the garden, but also detracted from people's appreciation and praise of her, so she nonchalantly scolded the frog to leave quickly. This action of the red rose not only hurt the frog's self-esteem but also brought bad luck to himself. This story inspires us, only mutual respect, mutual concern, and mutual help, life will be happy, and tomorrow will be better.
