Chapter 12 No. 1 VS. All

Taking the first place in the test is really boring except that it can be exchanged for "other benefits". The first time I got the first place in the exam, I was in the first grade of elementary school who was very ignorant, and I didn't know what the "examination" was for. Just like a little zebra or a little bison, when chased by a lion or a tiger, they will instinctively run fast. If they run fast, they will survive, and if they run slowly, they will be eaten. No small animal will get nervous and want to "run" No. 1" kind of nonsense. Giraffes don't compete for "Neck No. 1", and flies don't compete for "No. 1 Foot Hair".

If there are animals that compete desperately for strength, claws, and teeth, it is because they win the competition and can be the "boss" and enjoy offerings and services. Number one, how to enjoy the fun of "being the boss"?Relying on transcripts alone is useless. It is necessary to self-relief, and implement the first place as various benefits. The first place in the tennis competition can be "implemented" into a TV commercial, and it will fight against the world's strongest battery.The first place in the piano competition can "implement" to fight against the broken pianos in cultural centers around the world.Nobel Prize-crowned scientists get a parking spot on the UC Berkeley campus.

Sports players can shoot commercials, musicians can perform on tour, and scientists can have parking spaces. These are real benefits, and they are the fruits of "first place". If these fruits cannot be exchanged, all "number ones" can only grow old with age and gradually become coaches, teachers, professors... There is nothing wrong with that.It's just that you have to understand the illusory and boring of "number one" step by step. Fortunately, my first "first place" is very affordable. When I was in the first grade of primary school, I stepped into the house after school, just in time for a grand event. My beautiful mother was having a "warm-up activity before the mahjong table - chatting" with aunts and aunts in a living room wearing cheongsams.

"Here we go. Get someone—" Mom instructed. I didn't need to remind at all, and finished greeting each aunt and aunt according to the facial features of each aunt. Mom wants to show off more— "Which place did you rank in this test?" Mom asked. "Oh, let me show you." I still don't quite remember the "first place" thing, so I handed the report card to my mother. "Huh? First place!" Mom Long was overjoyed. All the aunts and aunts cheered in unison, and their faces paled: "You are so good! First place!" In the past, this kind of prosperity would only cause commotion when there was a lady at the table with a brave beard.

Sometimes I just "pass by" the mahjong room, and occasionally I will see the scenes of coquettish shouts and exclamations one after another. Now I'm a little enlightened-- It turns out that "No. 1" is as powerful as "Qing Yise"! Since then, I have established a good impression of the word "one". What was even more unexpected was that the reactions of the aunts and aunts after hearing the word "No. 1" were the same as when they heard the word "Qingyise"—they all started paying! "First place in the test! How good!" My godmother was the first to attack, opened the purse, and took out a big bill:

"Here, I'll give you a red envelope." I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, so I obediently catch the big bills. "Come here, give the red envelope, give the red envelope..." There was a sudden chaos, the mouths of all kinds of patent leather crocodile leather bags opened wide, and Aunt Huibao, Mama Weng, Aunt Huang... made their moves one after another, and the big money ended up Form a beautiful team, escape from the mouth of the crocodile, and fly to my pocket. Perhaps it is because the rules of Shanghai mahjong and Taiwan mahjong are different.In Taiwan mahjong, only the "troubleshooters" need to pay, while in Shanghai mahjong, "everyone at the same table must pay."

It should be based on the spirit of paying money that "the person who sees has a share" has created such a scene of participating in the grand event, right? Or, is it "peer pressure" among the ladies to win or lose? Such an encounter with "No. 1" has made me understand the value of this thing.In my later life, I was never deceived by the words "number one" again, all thanks to this "benefit transfer". Some people think that it is very sad and depressing for an out-of-date star to auction off an Oscar.On the contrary, I think this is what an "enlightened person" should do.
