The frog at the bottom of the well understands something

The story of the frog at the bottom of the well tells us that short-sighted people think they are right, and if they don't trust others, they will never be able to get out of their own little world.

You will never see things as they are. The frog at the bottom of the well is a Chinese idiom that means that the frog at the bottom of the well thinks that the sky is only as big as the mouth of the well.

From "Zhuangzi Autumn Water".

Well frogs can't talk to the sea, and they are confined to nothingness. ”

Translation: The frog in the well should not talk to him about the sea, because his vision is limited by his small dwelling.

If you regard a corner you see as the whole world, and the little knowledge you know as the sum total of human cultural knowledge, you will be like a frog in a dry well. This story is often used to satirize those who are short-sighted and blindly complacent.

The frog at the bottom of the well is mainly about a frog who met a turtle by the well, and the frog said to the turtle, you see how happy I am to live here, I sleep in the well when I am sleepy, when I am bored, I show my head and mouth, and then take a walk in the water, which is very comfortable, look at those shrimp and tadpoles, they are not as good as me, and I am the owner of this well, why don't you often come to the well to play.

The turtle said, Have you ever seen the sea? The sea is very vast, the depth of the sea is thousands of feet, and the sea is not affected by drought and flood, so living in the sea is the real happiness. When the frog heard this, he was astonished and never spoke again.

This story tells us that the frog at the bottom of the well can only see a piece of heaven as big as the mouth of the well, so we must learn more and practice more, and we can't be short-sighted and insightless like the frog at the bottom of the well.

We must be aggressive, and we must not always be satisfied with the status quo and short-sighted, otherwise we will become frogs at the bottom of the well.

The frog at the bottom of the well makes people understand that they must have an open vision and not only see what they see in front of them.

The idiom story of "sitting in a well and watching the sky" is a well-known story, and is usually used as a metaphor for someone's limited knowledge and short-sightedness; However, I think that this story emphasizes that people should be broadened and their horizons are opened now, but it ignores other factors and information worthy of attention.

Limited to environmental factors, frogs can only see the sky as big as the mouth of the well; In fact, how big the sky is, and the survival of the frog is not closely related, and the frog survival is directly related to the frog can find and enjoy the water environment or humid environment, such as lakes or wells, as long as there is water in the ground, whether there is a sky, how big the sky is is not what the frog should know. The frog's politeness, kindness and friendliness to the bird provide a good basis for the bird's willingness to provide information and advice, and in addition, we need to clarify "how the frog came to this well", one possibility is that he was born in this well and never went out; Another possibility is that the frog came to this well by instinct and natural force without knowing "what is heaven", but from the fact that the frog has never seen the sky, the former is more likely, in this case, the frog does not know how big the sky is, it is not "mistaken", but "I don't know", "I am mistaken" and "I don't know" are two concepts.

From this parable, it is not only necessary to get the revelation of "limited knowledge and short-sightedness", but the more important revelations should be:

1. Harmonious development, being kind to others, and being good at it, only in this way will someone be willing to help themselves.

2. To always be clear and never forget their mission like the "frog at the bottom of the well", find and occupy an environment suitable for their own survival, sustainable development, and ability to achieve their mission.

3. We must have the correct awareness and method of "jumping out": we can't jump out for the sake of "jumping out", some people have "jumped out", and they have "jumped" to foreign countries for investigation, read a lot of foreign books, and know "how big the sky is", but they can only show off the "big scenery" they see as the capital or symbol of identity and status; In addition, if an enterprise does not have the concept, strength, ability, potential, etc. to adapt, blindly "jump out", jump development, diversified expansion, and its own characteristics and skills do not match the industry, choose an environment that is not suitable for its own development, it will only be more auspicious; The appropriate "jumping out" should take sense, sustainable development and scientific development as the driving force for "jumping out", choose the correct direction, timing and method of "jumping out", and apply the information known after "jumping out" to scientific development, so as to achieve sustainable "jumping out", scientific development, harmonious development and optimized development.

The frog at the bottom of the well understands that you can't sit in the well and watch the sky. You must broaden your knowledge and not be too confident.
