Xiaolai: share, don't argue

Last week, I recommended Xiaolai's book "make friends with time".

I would like to make notes here what I learned from his blog, tweet or any writing.


  • hard skill vs soft skill, which person lives a better life link
For a salesman, soft skill is actually the basic skill. Because in the market, the demand for everyone is transparent: everyone wants to get more. The winner in a deal is happy, and the loser is unhappy. If a deal is a win-win, then others will praise you as a good dealer or a good leader.

A great leader is someone that can see through the unseen demand of others.

How to achieve win-win
Share.
Don't argue.

  • why I give up arguing? link
  1. difference in basic concepts. "double-blind trials" is incompatible with "China-west medical mixture".
  2. not clear what's important and non-important
  3. different value system
  4. different standpoint/perspective.  You always speak for what you belong to.
  5. no verdict. Except in a court where we have clear rules and we all listen to the judge. But no verdict in life or work. They only take a short cut--follow the important/famous person.
  6. the motivation of argue is because we are weak and easy to get angry
the goal of discussion is to organize your thought and clear your mind;
the goal of argument is to persuade others, to defeat others, to win your face
The surprising result of giving up arguing is away from the chain of contempt.


  • How to foster patience link
  1. plant trees and flowers with kids. Pets are not good because they are instantaneously responsive.
  2. do things everyone has spend relatively equal time to do it.
  3. do things that require accumulations
  4. dare to learn
  5. dare to share, share can help us grow, share is an effective social
  • Never save money this way link
  1. books that help you grow
  2. tools that improve your efficiency and productiviy
  3. safety equipment. Like rescue set, car radar
  4. ultimate experience:  falling in love when young, etc
  5. intellectual property
  • The marshmallow test link
  1. poor will make the temptation larger, bigger and harder to resist
  2. change your focus is a effective strategy.
  3. kids appear more self-control in a more reliable environment 
  • Advice for girls to look for a spouse link
  1. boyfriend's parents are still happy together
  2. how he apologize, words and action
  3. strong curiosity
  4. be-good type or be-better type
  5. personality. The cold fact is the bad guy is easier to success, and they know how to identify the good one by the first sight

  1. In Western countries awakening within the morning embody a hot cup of steaming occasional, whether or not it's smitten or while not milk, sugar or pitcher. In fact, some folks might even feel that they can not perform properly during a day while not having their initial cup of occasional.
