Catfish saves sardines
Long ago, in a small town in Norway, people made a living by fishing.
The town is close to the sea and is famous for producing sardines. There, fishing boats return to Hong Kong, and as long as sardines are still alive, they will be snapped up and sold at a good price. Live sardines taste delicious.
Unfortunately, due to the long time at sea, it ranges from two or three days to six or seven days. When they came back, the sardines were dead and rotten. Because of this, the living sardines are particularly mouth-watering
People tried their best to keep sardines alive, but no one succeeded. There is nothing we can do except disappointment. We can only look at the fish and sigh.
One day, an old fisherman was ready to go fishing as usual. Before leaving, the lovely little grandson clamored for him to bring back more sardines. The little guy must have not eaten sardines for a long time, and his roots are itchy.
After a few busy days, the old fisherman caught a lot of fish, including sardines named by his grandson. He was overjoyed and drove back at full speed. Who knows, halfway through, sardines are no longer alive, motionless in lazy diving.
The old fisherman was secretly worried while checking the fish tank. He had no choice but to pick out the dead fish according to the local method. He saw a fat catfish floating on the water, and guessed that it must be dying, so he fished it up and planned to throw it away. Unexpectedly, the fish suddenly jumped out of his palm and fell into the fish cabin with sardines.
The old fisherman successfully returned to his home after a long absence. He couldn't believe it. When he reached the shore, he thought the sardines were all dead, but they were all jumping. He was surprised, thought about it carefully, thought about it all the time, and felt that everything happened for a reason. After repeated research, he finally discovered the secret of sardines' survival.
Catfish saved sardines.
Who would have thought that catfish saved sardines?
People tried their best to keep sardines alive and failed. What people can't do, catfish can.
Here's the thing.
Everyone hasn't forgotten the catfish, have they? At first, he lay in his hut and had a good time. The old fisherman mistakenly thought it was going to die, so he caught it from the water, and it broke free and fell into the sardine cabin.
At that time, most sardines were sleepy, but I didn't expect aliens to come in. Suddenly, there was a sound among the fish. These fish have been making trouble. They don't seem to be at all peaceful. Their eyes were wide open and their nerves were tense. They swam quickly in the cabin and looked at the foreigners in front of them.
I don't know how long it took, but the catfish still didn't leave. Sardines have no idea. They don't know each other. So sardines chirp like frying pans.
"Look at its appearance, it must be up to no good. We should be careful. " A big sardine couldn't help crying.
"What's the fuss? There is only one fish. What can it do? " Giant sardines will gobble up.
"Everyone should be careful anyway." Another sardine initiative.
Sardines don't know. Actually, catfish is innocent. It was forced to leave its residence and come to this strange place. Catfish are uneasy and afraid, and dare not slack off. It's worried that sardines will attack.
Along the way, the two armies confronted each other. You stare at me, I stare at you, and no one relaxes. Sardines want to drive away the intruders in front of them and ease their unhappiness. Catfish suffer from no way back, so they have to bite the bullet and stay there. ...
As the saying goes, planting flowers is intentional, but planting willows is unintentional. The old fisherman hit the nail on the head and saved sardines with catfish.
catfish effect
The story of catfish saving sardine fish simply illustrates a truth, which may be called catfish effect.
In a group environment with long-term inherent relationship, the participation of strangers will attract the attention of group members, bring stimulating factors and promote the activity and change of environmental atmosphere. This is the catfish effect.
As a natural law, the catfish effect is widespread. The same is true for people.
For example, in a remote and isolated mountain village, people have never seen or heard of cars. One day, a man drove to a small mountain village. Guess what is most likely to happen. Are people interested in drivers, or are they looking around at the cars driven by drivers? There is no doubt that everyone's focus must be on the car. Everyone looked around happily, either looking around or trying to figure out what the car was.
If the same person, driving the same car, often comes to this small mountain village. What is the most likely thing to happen? There is no doubt that people will learn about cars from that person. For example, ask him where he bought it, how long it took, how much it cost, how he felt, and how to drive. ...
Catfish effect mainly comes from freshness, strangeness, security and crisis, and it is a psychological activity of biology. Like catfish and sardines. When catfish came to the sardines, they looked up and saw that they had not found their own similar partners. They felt a sense of strangeness and worried about their own safety. When sardines find dissidents, they think that they are up to no good, and they must have come to make trouble, thus creating a sense of crisis. The fish is a little nervous and swims faster. As a result, the water naturally lived and the fish didn't die.
A few more catfish.
Catfish effect can enhance the vitality of tissues and has great popularization and application value.
Many companies are used to using the catfish effect to motivate employees. For example, Japan's Misawa Housing Company is a master. After long-term observation, Misawa Company found that most enterprises are composed of three types of personnel. One is an indispensable elite, accounting for about 20%; One kind is hard-working people, accounting for about 60%; One kind is the black sheep who do nothing all day and hold enterprises back, accounting for about 20%. How to reduce the number of people in the third category and increase the number of people in the first and second categories? Misawa Chiyoji, the president of the company, applied what he had learned, vigorously promoted the "catfish effect", and deliberately hired some smart and energetic young people from outside to form the main force of the company, even the heavyweight of the managing director level was among them. In this way, the whole company has a sense of crisis and is worried that they will lose their jobs, so they are particularly motivated. Misawa Chiyoji once said, "In fact, people are all the same. Due to the long-term fixed personnel, the company lacks freshness and competitiveness, and most employees are prone to inertia. Foreigners joining the company can create a tense atmosphere and a crisis environment, and enterprises will have vitality. "
Take a look, the catfish effect is so powerful that it can activate an organization. Isn't it better to have more catfish?
