Only I can be trusted, the wise refuse to be credulous

Your most trusted friend is in the mirror, and that's yourself.

--"Talmud"

When they were children, the Jews were instilled with the awareness of independence and self-help, hoping to cope with the unknown rough life in the future.Parents teach their children: "Only believe in yourself and no one else, no one can be trusted."

You can see how they instilled this point of view in their children in the following short story:

Three-year-old Mike was playing a game with his sister in the living room one day.While they were having fun, the father hugged little Mike, put him on top of the closet, and held out his hands as if to catch him.Mike was very happy that his father was at their games.He looked at his father and jumped down without hesitation.The moment he jumped down, his father withdrew his hands, and Mike fell heavily on the floor, crying loudly.

He coaxed Mike to jump down from the closet one after another, but his father always made the same movement, retracting his hands the moment Mike jumped down.In this way, Mike sat on the ground and cried loudly, no matter how much his father coaxed him, he would no longer be "fooled".

The Jews said: "The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to let them know that no one in the world can be trusted, even their biological parents are no exception, the only person they can trust is themselves."

This kind of thinking that only believes in oneself is the basis for the formation of children's independent consciousness, which makes the Jews have the consciousness of independent livelihood since childhood.They believe that only they can support themselves, and that it is naive fantasy to rely on others to live.Therefore, they can survive tenaciously by their own ability under any conditions.

This "only I can be trusted" approach also enables them to be cautious when doing business. They always make choices after careful consideration, so they never fall into other people's business traps.

In our opinion, this method of cultivating children's independent consciousness may be a bit cruel, but for the Jews, this is a very sensible behavior, and it is an important reason why the Jewish nation has been exiled for a long time.The Jewish nation, which has survived the long-term wandering and exclusion, will naturally be suspicious of others.As a member of the market economy who independently controls his own destiny, business operators should first possess this rational sense of independence and survival.

"Every business is a first-time friend", this is a Jewish motto in the business field. Even if you do business with someone you know again, Jewish businessmen will not relax their attention to all aspects of this business because of the successful cooperation last time. item condition.They are accustomed to regard every business as an independent business, and regard every business partner they contact as the first cooperation partner,

Doing business requires integrity, but refuse to be credulous.Credulity will only make us lose our judgment, be led by the nose by others, and even be led astray or even into the abyss.For the Jews who have long regarded business as a profession, after thousands of failed tests, they have long listed "not trusting each other easily" as a business secret, and this is also a wise move for Jewish businessmen to prevent transaction risks.
