Eliminate yourself every day


The famous American conductor Walter Damrosch became a conductor in his 20s, but he still maintained a modest and diligent style and did not forget. In the face of everyone's praise, he revealed his own success story -

"When I was on the command, I was a little bit flustered, thinking that my talent was unique in the world, and my status was unparalleled. One day rehearsal, I forgot to bring a baton, I was going to send someone to go home, the secretary said: No, Can I borrow one from the rest of the band? I think: The secretary is really confused. Except me, do other people bring a baton? But I still asked casually: 'Who has a baton?' The voice is still falling, the cellist The violinist and the pianist each took out a baton.

"I was shocked and suddenly realized: I am not an indispensable person. Many people have been working diligently and will replace me at any time. Later, whenever I am lazy or inflated, the three batons will Shake in front of you."

Hundreds of millions of years ago, in a virgin forest, there was a strong bear that feeds on other animals. Later, the fire caused by thunder and lightning burned the forest to ashes, and all kinds of animals fled. In order to survive, the bear kept moving and trekking, and finally found a warm, lush, food-rich basin and settled down.

But Bear soon discovered that the carnivores here are too many and too powerful to compete with them. So, the bear decided not to eat meat, and instead graze. There are more herbivores here, the competition is more intense, and you can't fill your stomach. No way, they had to change to eat something that no other animal would eat - bamboo, which survived. Gradually, bamboo became their only source of food. Since no other animals competed for food, they became lazy, bloated, and slowly evolved into the giant pandas we see today. Later, with the decline of bamboo forests, there were fewer and fewer giant pandas, and they were on the verge of extinction. Only with the help of human beings was the fate of extinction.

Competition is a disgusting thing, but it is happening all the time. Stalling and escaping means being eliminated. If we are eliminated, we may also get the same kind of compassion and charity, but we will lose the dignity of being human.

Only "eliminate yourself every day" can not be eliminated. If you don't eliminate yourself, you will be eliminated by others.
