Chapter 112
target-based

Therefore, if the human body is invisible and I am invisible, then I am dedicated and the enemy is divided.I specialize in one, and the enemy divides into ten, so the ten attack one.Then we have many enemies and few, and those who can attack the few with all, then our place will make an appointment with the fighters.

The goal is like a lighthouse, showing people the direction to go.Whether it is the ambition of a swan or a bird, it is lofty for those who set goals.Therefore, the realization of the goal is a gradual process. It cannot be achieved overnight, let alone reach the sky in one step. It must be realized step by step and down-to-earth.Breaking down our goals into smaller pieces makes it easier to achieve our goals.

There is such a story in the Bible:
When Moses led the Jews to the land given to them by God, his father-in-law Jerose found that Moses' work was beyond his capacity.If he keeps doing this, not only himself, everyone will suffer.So Jerose tried to help Moses solve the problem.He told Moses to divide the group into groups of 1000 people, and then divide each group into 10 groups of 100 people, and divide the 100 people into two groups of 50 people each.Finally, divide the 50 people into five groups of 10 people in each group.Gerose then told Moses to let each group choose a leader who would be responsible for solving any problems that the members of the group had.Moses accepted the proposal and ordered the chief in charge of the 1000 men that he alone could tell himself about the unsolvable problems.

Since Moses followed Gerose's advice, he had time enough to deal with important problems, most of which only he could solve by himself.To put it simply, what Jerose handed over to Moses was actually to be good at breaking down all the problems.It can be seen that "dividing" is a kind of great wisdom. It can not only help us relieve psychological pressure, but also help us approach the most lofty goals and ideals in our hearts step by step.

Sun Wu on the battlefield, the only goal in mind is to win, but victory is not easy, so he proposed a way to disperse the enemy's forces.Under the condition that our forces remain unchanged, we will create a favorable situation where the enemy is outnumbered.In fact, the same is true in life. Only by knowing how to divide the strength of the opponent can one maximize the use of one's not-so-powerful power.In life, we will inevitably encounter various problems. On the surface, it seems that it is impossible to complete the task, but in fact, it will be much easier if we just break it down. so it is.

In 1984, in the Tokyo International Marathon Invitational, he, who was originally unknown, won the world championship beyond everyone's expectations.When the reporter asked him how to win, he only said one sentence: "I use my wisdom to defeat my opponent."

At that time, many people thought that he was playing tricks. After all, marathon is a sport that relies on physical strength and endurance, followed by explosive power and speed. As long as the runners have good physical fitness and enough endurance, they have the hope of becoming a champion. Wisdom is important for marathons. how can i helpThis statement is really a bit reluctant.He didn't explain much at that time, he just wanted to prove it again with his actions.

Two years later, the Italian International Marathon Invitational was held in Milan, the northern city of Italy.He represented his country in competitions and was once again world champion.The reporters once again asked about the key to victory.With a dull temperament, he was originally not good at words, so the answer this time is the same as last time: "Use your wisdom to defeat your opponent."

This time, though, the reporters weren't digging him in the papers, they just remained in the dark about what he was saying.

Ten years later, in his autobiography, he clearly explained his "wisdom": "Before each game, I will carefully read the route of the game and write down the more eye-catching signs along the way. For example The first sign is a bank, the second sign is a big tree, and the third sign is a red house... just like this until the end of the race. When the real game comes, I will work hard towards the first goal Sprint, after reaching the first goal, then run towards the second goal at the same speed. In this way, no matter how far the race is, as long as it is broken down into several small goals, I can easily complete the race. At the beginning, I didn’t understand this principle, and I set my goal at the finish line, but I was exhausted after running less than ten kilometers, and I was intimidated by the long distance ahead.”

That's the secret to his success: breaking down goals.Just like in school, if you rank around 50 in your class, if you want to aim to rank in the top 10 of your class for the next exam, such a goal is a bit unrealistic.But if you set your goal at 40th, this goal should not be very difficult for you.When you reach this goal, you can set a new goal.It is relatively easy to achieve the goal in stages in this way, and we will not feel lost and frustrated because we cannot meet too high requirements.In this way, step by step, the goal will eventually be achieved.

Many goals may seem like an impossible task at first glance, but it can become as simple as 1+1 simply by effectively breaking it down into many blocks.
