Chapter 2240 Asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket! ! ! !
Gel is neither cunning nor capable.
This is only natural, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a miserable situation.
Don't talk about the big environment. Ability is something that you either have or not. Not all successful people have ability. After all, heroes are made by the times. Some people are just lucky, and some are even born in Rome. There is nothing you can do about it. The world is never fair.
But those who are doing badly will definitely not have outstanding abilities.
This is not poisonous chicken soup, but reality!
In a sense, the situation of having talent but not being recognized is actually a low-probability event.
Because people who are truly capable will never do too badly no matter where they are!
Some people will start to argue at this time, saying that before Han Xin became successful, he suffered humiliation and even had no food to eat... People who think so are actually subjectively regarding themselves as Han Xin. The reason why Han Xin felt that he was down and out was actually because he felt that his treatment was not worthy of his talent.
But if you look at Han Xin from the perspective of ordinary people, you will find that even when Han Xin was at his lowest point, he was still better off than ordinary people!
The "Historical Records: Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin" records Han Xin's downfall like this: Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, was a native of Huaiyin. When he was a commoner, he was poor and had no moral integrity. He was not recommended to be an official, and he could not manage his life as a merchant. He often depended on others for food and drink, and many people were disgusted with him.
Sounds miserable, right?
But if you put yourself in the shoes of an ordinary person, you will find that it is not the same thing at all.
First of all, even when Han Xin was at his lowest point, he didn't starve to death. He could get free food and drink everywhere, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Others hated him, but he could still get enough food and clothing.
Secondly, the anti-Qin uprising soon broke out, and Han Xin quickly joined Xiang Yu's camp.
Original text: "When Xiang Liang crossed the Huai River, Xin followed him with a stick and a sword, and served under him, but was not well-known. After Xiang Liang was defeated, Xin was under the command of Xiang Yu, who made him a doctor."
This means that he went from being penniless to serving under Xiang Yu and became a doctor! This is not a soldier, a doctor is an official!
Langzhong began in the Warring States Period and continued in the Qin and Han Dynasties. He was in charge of the gates, carriages and cavalry, and served as a guard at home and participated in battles abroad.
Although he was not a high-ranking official, he quickly became an official from a penniless person. Isn't this a clear class transition?
Then, "he repeatedly tried to persuade Xiang Yu with his strategy, but Xiang Yu did not use it. When the King of Han entered Shu, Xin fled from Chu and returned to Han. He was not well-known and was called Lian Ao. He was sentenced to death according to the law. Thirteen of his generation had been beheaded. Then it was Xin's turn. Xin looked up and saw Duke Teng. He said, "Doesn't the emperor want to conquer the world? Why are you beheading a brave man?" Duke Teng was surprised by his words and looked at him. He released him without beheading him. He talked with him and was very pleased with him. He told the emperor about it, and the emperor appointed him as the commander of the grain department. The emperor was not surprised."
Then he went to Liu Bang's side and rebelled against the French. When he saw Xiahou Ying, he shouted: Didn't Liu Bang want to take over the world? Why did he kill the warriors?
When Xiahou Ying saw Han Xin, he thought he was a talented person, so he released him. After they had a chat, Xiahou Ying immediately felt that Han Xin was a great talent, so he promoted him directly to the position of Commandant of Grain!
In other words, Han Xin committed a crime and should have been beheaded along with thirteen other people, but not only did he survive, he was promoted instead!
Later it became even more legendary.
'Xin had talked with Xiao He several times, and He was surprised. When they arrived in Nanzheng, dozens of generals had fled on the road. Xin thought that He had reported Xin to the emperor several times, but the emperor did not use him, so he fled. He heard that Xin had fled, but he did not report it, so he chased him himself. Someone told the emperor, "Prime Minister He is missing." The emperor was furious, as if he had lost his left and right hands. After one or two days, He came to see the emperor. The emperor was both angry and happy, and scolded He, "If you have fled, why?" He said, "I dare not flee. I will chase the fleeing one." The emperor asked, "Who are you chasing?" He said, "Han Xin." The emperor scolded again, "More than ten generals have fled, and you have not chased anyone. Chasing Xin is a deception." He said, "The generals are easy to find. As for Xin, he is a peerless talent in the country. If the king must want to rule Hanzhong for a long time, he will not bother with Xin. If he must want to fight for the world, there is no one to discuss matters with except Xin. But how can the king make a decision?" The king said, "I also want to go east. How can I stay here for a long time?" He said, "If the king's plan is to go east, if you can use Xin, Xin will stay. If you can't, Xin will eventually die." The king said, "I will appoint you as a general." He said, "Even if you make me a general, I will not stay." The king said, "Make him a general." He said, "I am very fortunate." So the king wanted to summon Xin to appoint him. He said, "Your Majesty is always rude and disrespectful. Now you are calling a general like calling a child. This is why Xin left. If your Majesty really wants to call him, choose a good day, fast, set up an altar, and perform all the ceremonies. Then you can do it." The king agreed. All the generals were happy, and everyone thought they had found a great general. When they called the general, it turned out to be Han Xin, and the whole army was shocked.
The meaning is that Han Xin talked with Xiao He many times, and Xiao He admired him very much. Most of the subordinates of the King of Han were from the East, and they all wanted to return to their hometown. Therefore, when the team arrived in Nanzheng, dozens of officers ran away on the way. Han Xin thought that Xiao He and others had recommended him to the King of Han many times, but the King of Han never valued him, so he ran away. When Xiao He heard that Han Xin had escaped, he didn't have time to report the matter to the King of Han, so he went to chase him. Someone who didn't know the details reported to the King of Han, "Prime Minister Xiao He ran away." The King of Han was very angry, as if he had lost his left and right hands. After a day or two, Xiao He came back to see the King of Han. The King of Han was angry and happy at the same time, and scolded, "Why did you run away?" Xiao He replied, "I dare not run away, I am chasing the runaways." "Who did you chase back?" Xiao He said, "Han Xin." The King of Han scolded again, "There were dozens of officers who ran away, and you didn't chase them; instead, you chased Han Xin, which is a lie. "Xiao He said: "Those officers are easy to get, but as for talents like Han Xin, there is no second one in the world. If the king only wants to be the King of Hanzhong for a long time, of course he can't use him; if he wants to fight for the world, there is no one to discuss major plans except Han Xin. It all depends on what the king plans. "The King of Han said: "I also plan to return to the East. How can I stay in this ghost place all the time?" Xiao He said: "If the king is determined to fight back to the East and can use Han Xin, he will stay; if he can't use him, then Han Xin will eventually run away. "The King of Han said: "I'll make him a general for your sake." Xiao He said: "Even if he is made a general, Han Xin will definitely not stay." The King of Han said: "Then let him be a general." Xiao He said: "That's great." The King of Han immediately wanted to call Han Xin to be a general. Xiao He said: "The king has always been arrogant and rude. If you appoint a general, it would be like calling a child. This is why Han Xin left. "If the king is sincere in wanting to appoint him as a general, he should choose a good day, fast in advance, build a high altar, and follow the ceremony of appointing a general. That's the only way!" The king agreed. When the officers heard about it, they were all secretly happy. Everyone thought they would be appointed as a general. When the ceremony was held, they found out that it was Han Xin. The whole army was shocked.
Take a look!
That's called talent!
Even when others are at their lowest point, they can still find food to eat. With just a little bit of opportunity, he can rise directly to the top.
Whether he made a prompt decision to join Xiang's righteous army, or saw an opportunity and realized that there was no room for development on Xiang Yu's side and decisively jumped ship to join Liu Bang's camp that was in urgent need of talent, or he broke the law and was about to be killed, but decisively spoke up to attract Xiahou Ying's attention. Not only did the illegal act come to an end, but he also got promoted!
After being promoted, he still looked for opportunities to get close to Xiao He.
He saw this point very accurately and knew Xiao He's influence on King Liu Bang of Han, so he decisively showed his talents in front of Xiao He and asked Xiao He to recommend him.
But once he saw that Liu Bang didn't care.
He also left decisively because he knew that if Liu Bang did not use him after Xiao He recommended him, it would mean that there was no future for him to stay here, and he had to find a better platform.
Not everyone has this kind of courage.
In fact, it takes great courage to decisively join the rebel army and decisively leave Xiang Yu.
You have to know that when he joined the rebel army, the Qin Dynasty was already very powerful, and it took great courage to join the rebel army. And the reality was also true. Soon Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Liang was defeated and killed, but he still did not leave, but continued to follow Xiang Yu. But once he found that Xiang Yu did not listen to him and did not value him, he quickly and decisively left.
You know, when he left Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu was at his most powerful!
At that time, the Qin Dynasty had been completely destroyed. Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong and became the most powerful prince. According to most people, Xiang Yu's place was the most stable and had the best development prospects. However, Han Xin still did not hesitate to defect to Liu Bang, the King of Han who was sent to Hanzhong and Bashu at that time!
Liu Bang was in a very miserable situation at that time. Many of his subordinates were even unwilling to follow him, after all, Bashu was poor.
But Han Xin still had high hopes for him, so he resolutely surrendered to him.
But when he saw that Liu Bang no longer valued him, he turned around and left without any lingering feelings. If Xiao He hadn't chased him, Han Xin would have really left.
Unexpectedly talented?
No wonder!
A truly talented person will find ways to change his circumstances no matter what situation he is in. He will seize any opportunity to change his circumstances.
What talents does Nagel have?
No, even in that most ordinary tribe, he is still inconspicuous. He is just the most ordinary person, just like you and me!
It’s nothing to be praised, but certainly not something to be despised.
If someone can't even make it in such a simple environment, you really can't expect much from his talents.
But small people also have their own ways.
Although he failed to break into Asgard, he still had some understanding of Asgard's basic situation.
He no longer had any hope of capturing the Rainbow Bridge, but he thought of another way.
That is to secretly use the Rainbow Bridge.
He knew that the guardian of the Rainbow Bridge was Heimdall.
A very powerful and dedicated deity.
If he went directly to him, Gol felt that there was little hope. After all, his relationship with Asgard was not that good.
But he knew another piece of information.
That is, Heimdall has a sister.
Sif!
A female general of Asgard!
Gir is a man who cares very much about his family. He thinks that if he can kidnap Sif, he can force Heimdall to agree to his request.
Of course he knew it was mean.
But he was just a small figure, not a hero, and he didn't feel anything about the so-called honor. If possible, he even felt that if that thing could fill his stomach, he would be happy to exchange all the so-called honor for food!
As for things like face and dignity...those things have nothing to do with a small person like him!
Friends who have watched the movie "Furong Town" should all be impressed by a line: Live! Live like an animal! Regardless of ancient and modern times, dignity is really not worth mentioning compared to survival for ordinary people.
Mo Yan said in "The Shame of Eating" that so-called self-esteem and face are things that come after one is full. For a starving person, a bowl of noodles left over by a leper is the most precious thing in the world!
To Geer, these were all unimportant things and worthless compared to what he wanted.
He never cared before, and he doesn't care now.
So he didn't think there was anything shameful about kidnapping Sif.
What's more, he didn't intend to do anything to Sif. As long as Heimdall helped, he would keep his promise and never hurt Sif.
He also felt that Heimdall would agree to him.
After all, he just wanted to use the Rainbow Bridge, he didn't want to do anything to Asgard.
In this case, the biggest conflict between him and Heimdall is gone.
So he felt that there was nothing wrong with his plan!
The only problem now is to find Sif... This is a problem he urgently needs to solve.
First of all, he had only heard that Heimdall had such a sister, and he had no idea about the details.
He didn't even know what Heimdall looked like.
In the past, Geer might have backed off.
After all, the first reaction of ordinary people when faced with difficulties is always to retreat.
This is normal. Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is a basic law of biology. In psychology, when people encounter difficulties, they often choose to retreat rather than face them head-on. There are some deep theoretical reasons behind this. The main reasons involve people's physiological and psychological mechanisms, fear of failure, lack of motivation, etc. People have a natural tendency to protect themselves. When encountering difficulties, especially challenges with uncertainty or risk of failure, the brain will send out an "escape" signal to avoid possible harm. This reaction is related to the "fight or flight" reaction, and its root lies in the amygdala in the brain, which activates this protection mechanism when facing threats.
The self-efficacy theory proposed by psychologist Bandura points out that when people face challenges, they often decide whether to face them based on their confidence in success and sense of control. If a person feels that they are not competent or that their efforts are ineffective, they are more likely to choose to retreat. On the contrary, if they are confident in their abilities and believe that they have the ability to solve difficulties, they are more likely to take the initiative to face them.
People are generally afraid of failure and the negative evaluation it brings, and this fear can lead to avoidance behavior. Negative emotions such as shame, guilt, or self-doubt caused by failure will make people tend to avoid tasks that may fail in order to avoid psychological discomfort. This behavior may also be related to self-esteem protection. People will choose to escape to protect their self-image and avoid negative evaluations from the outside world or themselves.
Attribution theory states that the way individuals attribute the causes of their failures and successes affects their behavior and emotions. If a person is accustomed to attributing failure to uncontrollable factors (such as lack of ability or bad luck), they are more likely to give up and retreat. On the other hand, those who attribute failure to controllable factors (such as insufficient effort) are more likely to face difficulties and continue to work hard.
But these have nothing to do with Geer anymore.
He has nothing to lose, and doesn't care what others think of him. More importantly, he has a lot of inner drive!
