The saying goes, "There are no rules." As the saying goes, "All medicines are poisonous." They say, "It's hard to start a business, but it's even harder to keep it." As the saying goes, "One point of plowing, one point of harvest." As the saying goes, "There is nothing difficult under the sun, but only those who have the will" - in Chinese folklore, thousands of such sayings have been heard and learned since the day of birth, and even "sayings" have been Even "sayings" have invaded the bone marrow of human beings, becoming "outline culture" and "stereotypes" of our thinking. In debates, we often "quote from the classics", and we often use "good sayings" to strengthen our own ideas, which is actually a form of "lack of self-confidence". People who love to quote the proverb, is hoping to pull on the old ancestors left behind "the most sensible words", to give their own concepts to beat the drum. But the things of the ancestors may not be good things, some sayings have been over time, and the real-life ethical and we advocate the fashion back, the following list of the top ten sayings, is harmful to people, "the old ancestral legacy".

1. The world is as black as a crow

The world is as black as a crow, advocating a bamboo stick to kill a boat people, a living mouth is not left. In management this is called the "halo effect", for example: talking about the Northeast people, immediately someone picked up: "I know, the Northeast people are bold." Talking about Henan people, immediately someone picked up: "I know, Henan people love to cheat." When it comes to the Japanese, someone will immediately answer: "Japanese, there is no good thing!" Are all Northeasterners bold? Not necessarily! Do all people in Henan love to cheat others? Not necessarily! Are all Japanese bad? Not necessarily. These are influenced by the saying "all crows are as black as each other", which is a variation of this saying. The worst of all is men. As the saying goes, "A cat loves to eat fish." This saying is actually a replica of the saying "All crows are black". The main idea is to describe all the men in the world as "seed cows", if you are not "seed cows", then you must look for the "old army doctor" to see.

2. A slap in the face is not

"A slap in the face is not a product of the middle way, advocating that each of the fifty planks, who can not be said to suffer, who can not be said to take advantage of. I read the university in Nanjing during that time, the college regulations: as long as the fights and assaults, once verified, immediately dealt with seriously, regardless of which side of the two parties are responsible for, are subject to disciplinary action. Such a school rule maker, is by the proverb "a slap can't clap" serious influence. In fact, there are times when one slap can make a big difference, for example, slapping the wall, slapping the table, slapping the ass with this slap - it does not necessarily have to be the other slap. The fact that "one slap does not go well" is a sign of incompetence on the part of the arbitrator, who is unable to distinguish between reward and punishment, and can only make peace, be a good old boy and advocate that each party should take a step back. For example, the school rule mentioned above, if a classmate hits you, are you passively waiting to be hit? If you are beaten lightly, for example, the media has repeatedly reported that a certain person walking on the street has been robbed, can you still deal with the problem in the same way as "a slap in the face is not a slap in the face"? "A slap in the face is not a slap in the face" is actually to protect the "robbers", to combat the "weak", to "evil forces" The first is to protect the "robbers" and fight the "weak" and compromise with the "evil".

3. Flies don't bite seamless eggs

Flies don't bite seamless eggs is a powerful "theoretical basis" for spreading and accelerating the spread of rumors. According to the Western Business News reported on July 14, 2005, Yu and put a neighbor, in the third month of this year's lunar calendar, the village rumors that put a strong * Yang. In the process of spreading rumors, neighbors Yu Mou believe that "flies do not bite seamless eggs", fanning the flames, saying that put a certain must have done this unseemly thing, spread around. Finally put a person can not stand it, even with a kitchen knife to the neighbor's woman Yu Mou's head cut off. See, this big saying "flies do not bite seamless eggs", not only can harm others, but also can kill believe that this sentence people's lives.

4. Equality of opportunity

"Equality of opportunity" is a powerful excuse, lie, and tool for successful people to deceive losers. There can be no equality of opportunity. What is opportunity? Opportunity is the choice and reward given to those who have certain resources at their disposal. For example, a company advertises for a general manager and lists a number of conditions for the candidate. If the position of general manager is regarded as an opportunity, and the people who see this message are regarded as "everyone in front of the opportunity", on the surface, everyone has the same opportunity, but in fact it is not an equal opportunity at all. Such as: in the conditions required: master's degree, most people will not have the opportunity; and then required: in the same position to work for more than 8 years, and then some people turned away; and then required: in the same industry to work for more than 5 years, I'm afraid that the rest of the so few; and then required: age - such opportunities, how can we use the equal opportunity to interpret! How can such opportunities be interpreted as equal for all? A mayor's son and an ordinary worker's son standing in front of the same opportunity, can they be equal?

5. People move to live, trees move to die

"People move to live, trees move to die" is the current "job-hopping family" self "encouragement" strong theoretical support point. When in a position to do a little bit of bad luck, some people began to think about it. One of my cousins is a teacher in a famous school in Changchun. A few months ago, he called me and asked me to help him "get" him into the Changchun Land Planning Bureau, but I refused. Before he was a teacher, he worked in the propaganda department of the district Z F for a few years. The big saying that "people move to live, trees move to die" is not actually in line with the logical reasoning of modern society. Living in the city, the trees on both sides of the street are moved, are alive and well, so that "trees move may not be dead"; people move to live? Not necessarily, I have seen a lot of people jumping between the units, but also seldom see "breakthroughs and improvements", on the contrary, there are a lot of down-to-earth in the original position of hard work and diligence in the people to make a little bit of achievement, so people move may not be "live". If you hold the "here do not stay master own stay master place" mentality to work, no matter where you go, it is very difficult to make some achievements.

6. There is a change, there is no increase

"There is a change, there is no increase" is a knife that kills without blood. Often see some of the official look like people, speak like side-tracking, sound east and west, catching the wind: "for the recent unit rumors of extramarital affairs within our unit, we have to pay enough attention to, of course, there is a change, not to add encouragement -", stopping the person! often at a loss for words, say who? We all guessed more than. Originally very quiet unit, a time will be full of talk. "There is a change, there is no added encouragement" this sentence, is to give no "real evidence" to speakers to find the "knife and gun" to kill.

7. I've crossed more bridges than you've ever traveled

"I've crossed more bridges than you've ever traveled" is usually a cautionary tale from an older person to a younger person who is "not listening". Judging what is right or wrong has nothing to do with age. To bring age into the equation is to "pull on the tiger's skin" and embolden one's own weakness. If age is everything, then a school principal must be the school's oldest; an enterprise's general manager must be the company's oldest; a country's leaders must be more than a hundred years old - is this the case? Obviously not! The author said this, not to the elders of disrespect, but just pragmatic, to deal with a specific issue, whose concept is closest to the "optimal", and age has little to do. "I have crossed the bridge than you have traveled more roads" is disrespectful to the young people, but also to the blasphemy of knowledge, hold "I have crossed the bridge than you have traveled more roads" concept of people advocating the "seniority ranking The first is the "I'm not sure what I'm talking about".

8. Old hometowns see old hometowns, two tears in the eyes

"Old hometowns see old hometowns, two tears in the eyes", advocating the region as a line, drawing the door of friendship. Chinese police reported that on the morning of March 18, Nanchang City, the Public Prosecution Bureau of Criminal Investigation Detachment three brigade will be captured murder suspect Xie Yingfu handed over to the Guangzhou police. It is reported that Xie Yingfu for 200,000 money, will grow up together with the old folks killed. Here, it is not "hometown to see hometown, two tears", but "hometown to see hometown, a shot in the back". In recent years, the hometown murder of hometown cases occur from time to time, netizens must remain vigilant, that is, can not see the hometown on the "no defense", do not see the hometown on the "talk about hometown color change". Chinese people, to put aside the "regional affinity", to understand a person to comprehensively to test, hometown is not a green pass.

9. sweep the snow in front of the door

"Each sweep the snow in front of the door, do not care about others on the frost", advocating the enclosure for the prison, advocating "do not care about their own high hanging up." Each sweeping the snow in front of the door is a manifestation of selfishness. In the past few years, almost every quarter, the media reported that a girl was raped in broad daylight, and there were many onlookers. These onlookers are, in fact, the staunch supporters of the common saying that "each sweeps the snow in front of his own door, not minding the frost on the roof of other people's houses". Nowadays, thieves are rampant and robbers are crazy - it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the belief of "sweeping the snow in front of each door". In the "each sweeping the doorstep snow" before the big saying, "see the courage" is falling.

10. Friendship first, competition second

"Friendship first, competition second" is a Chinese specialty. The idea is to put the exchange of emotions and strengthen the feelings to the first place, and win or lose the game is secondary. Can it really be done? Impossible! Competition is to share the winners and losers, is to compete for the first, otherwise the competition has become a formalism and tools. The participants in the game can not experience the spiritual enjoyment brought by the intense confrontation of the game, and the audience can not see the passion and suspense of the game. This kind of competition can still be called a competition? "Friendship first, competition second" is synonymous with hypocrisy, the actual teams before the game have done a lot of preparatory work, on the field is also full of gunpowder flavor, each athlete is playing "friendship first, competition second" under the guise of dry! Each athlete is doing the business of "friendship first, competition second" under the guise of "competition first, friendship second". "Friendship first, the game second" this big saying, special show the Chinese hypocrisy, pretense, the side of artifice.
