Have you heard of catfish effect ?
This is a "management concept" in social psychology. The story behind
is this:
Norwegian loves to eat sardine , especially the living sardines taste more delicious and have higher prices.
After catching sardines, locals found that sardines could easily die and not survive easily.
Because sardines are lazy by nature, a bunch of fish are curled up in a confined space. In addition, the journey is long, and finally arrives at the destination and becomes dying.
After repeated experiences, they finally thought of a good way to transport sardines.
That is to put a catfish in the sardines.
Although catfish are not valuable, catfish are naturally active, and catfish also use sardines as their food.
When the sardines find "strange creatures" entering, they will be nervous and they all swim.
"Catfish Effect" illustrates a truth:
Only when there is pressure can there be motivation; only when there is competition can there be passion; only when there is threat can there be a person's greatest potential.

Only when there is pressure can there be motivation
do you know? Appropriate pressure can promote a person's motivation.
Of course, this kind of pressure must be kept within a certain "range" and will not exceed the physiological and psychological limits that this person can bear.
In long-distance running, for training for long-distance runners, there are often "runners" who take turns to compete in front.
They maintain a uniform pace, but they are always faster than long-distance runners, allowing athletes to always catch up with the steps ahead.
In the athlete's subconscious, if he wants to catch up with the people ahead, he must let himself run.
people often stimulate a lot of motivation under the stimulation of certain pressure.
life pressure, social pressure, and emotional pressure can all stimulate our action.
Is there no pressure?
If a person has no pressure, it is like a deflated ball, living in his own small world every day.
is a frog at the bottom of the well, content with the status quo and sitting in the empty house.
people must have the awareness of "being prepared for danger in times of peace" and always prepare for their own lives.
does not mean that you work hard, but that you are in good times and don’t forget to spur yourself;
makes you in bad times and don’t give up casually.
People who can withstand pressure are often not simple.
Those who can endure loneliness will eventually achieve good results.
oftentimes, without a sense of crisis is the "greatest sense of crisis".

Only with competition will there be passion
tell you an interesting story.
During the holidays, I went to my relative's house to help take care of the children.
His family has 3 children, and I found a very interesting phenomenon.
When there is a lot of meat in the meal, several children are unwilling to eat it; when there are only vegetables and very little meat, several children are rushing to eat it.
Eat fruits, and the same goes for snacks.
Sometimes, they don’t like to eat very much; when they see it very rarely, they all know the competition and rush to eat.
often, having a "competitive sense" can often make people's hearts full of passion.
is just like when I was a student:
If the learning atmosphere in the class is very good, everyone is holding back their energy to compete for the top three. At this time, everyone has entered a "benevolent" state of comparison.
When it comes to learning, they are passionate because they can "compete" with many opponents, which arouses their competitive spirit.
What if there is no competition?
Without competition, it is easy for people to fall into a "illusion". The president of
Haier once said: "Always be trembling, like walking on thin ice."
oftentimes, if you lack competition, it means you are in a sense of crisis.
seems calm, but in fact it is full of dangers and ambushing on all sides.
If you are content with the status quo and do not intend to make progress, you may be eliminated at any time.
This reminds me of a senior around me.
Just celebrated his 40th birthday and was laid off by the company because he occupied that position for too long.
has always had a long history, but he has a very high salary and his ability is not as good as that of a young man.
leader repeatedly hinted to him: "We need to learn more, innovate more, and adapt to the new environment."
But he still does things according to his own experience.
Finally, he lost to a group of newly graduated college students.
Sometimes, behind the calm is a storm brewing.
You must develop the awareness of "being prepared for danger in times of peace" in order to maintain your inner determination in the competition.

is a threat, and can stimulate a person's potential
do you know the effect of " boiling frog in warm water"?
Put a frog directly into hot water, and the frog will instantly jump out of the hot water due to stress reaction.
At that moment, the frog was inspired to have the greatest potential because it felt the threat from life.
However, put a frog in cold water and gradually heat the water.
When the frog feels the heat, it has become a state of "powerlessness".
Only when facing a crisis can one see a person's potential, determination, and tolerance.
This tells us that we must always be "awe" and always be prepared to welcome the "snap" brought to you by life.
Summary:
truly powerful people have 3 abilities.
is full of motivation under pressure;
is in competition, full of passion;
is in threat, stimulates potential.
is in awe, has a sense of crisis, and is prepared to resist all pressure in your life.
