No one succeeds alone, including you.

01 Anyone who knows something about history is certainly familiar with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. Everyone also knows that Xiang Yu was born in a wealthy family and had significant advantages, while Liu Bang was born in the grassroots and had a very poor foundation. However, Liu Bang ended up laughing. at last. It is precisely because of the contrast between the two's origins and results that they have been legendary throughout the ages. There are many complicated reasons for the success or failure of the two people, one of which is very important, and that is whether they have "partners". Liu Bang was of low origin. Before the peasant uprising in the late Qin Dynasty, his biggest official position was the chief of the Sishui Pavilion in Pei County , equivalent to the current police station director, can be said to have little capital. When he responded to the uprising, Liu Bang was already 48 years old and only had a team of several hundred people. He had neither huge wealth to recruit troops nor extraordinary military ability to strategize. He has the ability to recruit talents. He has Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin and others under him. These talents are his "partners". Tai Shigong recorded in "Historical Records" the reasons why Liu Bang believed that he could win the world: I am not as good as Zifang in strategizing and winning a battle thousands of miles away. I am not as good as Xiao He in controlling the country, nurturing the people, and providing food without stopping. Han Xin. These three people are all outstanding people, and I can use them. This is why I conquer the world. Although Liu Bang and these three people have a relationship of monarch and minister, in the early days of fighting for the world, they were more like a cooperative relationship. Liu Bang Commander, the three of them each performed their duties and eventually achieved hegemony. On the other hand, Xiang Yu was a solo player. Although he had advisers like Yafu Fan Zeng around him, he was always self-centered and did not adopt a cooperative attitude. The most famous one is the Hongmen Banquet. If he could listen to Fan Zeng humbly and kill Liu Bang at the banquet, then history will be rewritten. Of course, history has no ifs, so in the end, Xiang Yu lost everyone, including all the time. Fan Zeng, who follows and assists himself, can only kill himself in Wujiang. If you want to succeed, you must have someone to help you. You cannot achieve great success by yourself. 02 If Michael Jordan is the greatest player in NBA history, I will. I believe most people agree. His success is inseparable from his technical level, and it is also inseparable from good helpers. Jordan was selected by the Chicago Bulls in the 1984 NBA draft. He scored 28.2 points, which was terrifying, which earned him the title of Rookie of the Year. In the second season, Jordan only played three games due to injury, but in the second game of the first round of the playoffs, he made a breakthrough. He scored an astonishing 63 points, breaking the NBA playoff scoring record. In the third season, Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game and won the NBA scoring title for the first time. This shows that Jordan's personal ability is very outstanding. In the first few years of his NBA career, he never won a championship because he always played alone on the court. In 1987, Scottie Pippen joined the Bulls, and Jordan welcomed his career partner. After three years, Pippen grew into Jordan's right-hand man. In the 1990-91 season, the two of them teamed up to help the Bulls win the championship for the first time, and then won two consecutive championships, creating three consecutive championships. After Jordan retired, the Bulls lost the capital to win the championship. However, at the end of the 1994-95 season, Jordan came back. In the three seasons from 1996 to 1998, Jordan teamed up with Pippen and once again created three consecutive championships for the Bulls. Before Pippen, Jordan struggled on the court by himself, but failed to achieve good results. With Pippen, Jordan could free up more time to attack and then lead the entire team to create miracles. When Pippen didn't arrive, Jordan was the top player in the league. He worked hard on the court but couldn't win the championship. But after Pippen arrived, Jordan could free up more time to attack and then lead the entire team to create miracles. He also became a superstar in the league. Therefore, Jordan's ability to create three consecutive championships twice would definitely be inseparable from Pippen's help. Of course, it is also inseparable from Kukoc, Rodman, Cole and others. In fact, for NBA superstars, it is definitely very lucky to have a better helper in their career. After all, with a good helper, you can create a good record throughout the game, help the team continue to win, and win better honors. It’s not just the court that needs help, people in all walks of life who want to succeed cannot do without the help of others. Some of those helpers can be seen, but many are unknown. John Lennon was the founder of the famous band The Beatles. The success of the Beatles was not only due to John Lennon, but also to the other three members Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and George Harrison's contribution. And behind them, there is a very powerful helper. He is George Martin who is working hard in the recording studio, but people know very little about him. However, he is one of the greatest music producers of all time, and he played a pivotal role in the production of The Beatles' original recordings. Because the Beatles' original songs cannot achieve the desired effect without Martin's careful polishing. During the creative process, Martin also participated in the selection of orchestral instruments, scoring, and composing and performing most of the keyboard parts. Therefore, he is also known as the "fifth member" of the band.

A successful person, no matter whether you can see the people who help him or not, he will definitely get help from some people. No one can succeed just by himself. 03 There is a brand that everyone is familiar with in the domestic mobile phone market called Xiaomi. When Lei Jun founded Xiaomi, he placed the key to success on people. In 2010, Lei Jun, an investor, decided to start a new business and planned to use the Internet e-commerce model to sell mobile phones, so he began to find helpers for himself. The first person he looked for was Lin Bin. Lin Bin was responsible for the research and development of Android at Google China at that time, which just met Lei Jun's needs for making an Android phone. At that time, Lin Bin also had the idea of ????starting his own business. Lei Jun quickly seized the opportunity and persuaded the other party to make mobile phones with him. Lin Bin was finally persuaded by Lei Jun, so he joined Lei Jun's battleship with investment. The partnership plan was finalized, and the two of them split up to recruit people. Coincidentally, Li Wanqiang, Lei Jun's old subordinate at Jinshan, approached him about resigning and said he wanted to open a photography studio of his own. Lei Jun laughed when he heard it and said, "Stop talking nonsense and just talk to ***." "In this way, Li Wanqiang became the third co-founder of Xiaomi. At this time, Lin Bin also came into contact with Huang Jiangji, an old colleague from Microsoft. At that time, Huang Jiangji was distressed about reorganizing the R&D team. Lin Bin went straight to the point and urged Huang Jiangji to come out and work with him. He and Lei Jun started a business together. Seeing that Huang Jiangji was excited, Lin Bin introduced him to Lei Jun. The three of them made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop. Lei Jun and Huang Jiangji hit it off and talked for several hours. Before parting, Huang Jiangji decided to join. On April 6, 2010, in a small office in Zhongguancun Yingu Building, 13 people drank a bowl of millet porridge each, and a company called Xiaomi quietly opened. They also hired Hong Feng, their subordinate at Google. Through Hong Feng's recommendation, Liu De, who was good at industrial design, also joined. In the next three months, they interviewed hundreds of people, but no suitable candidate was found. It was not until the emergence of Zhou Guangping that this situation was broken. Zhou Guangping had been working at Motorola since 1995 and was an expert in mobile phones. After several communications, he finally agreed to join the team. Everyone was in place. Later, Lei Jun brought in his long-time friend Wang Chuan. With the help of these talents, Lei Jun's Xiaomi company grew rapidly. On July 9, 2018, everyone knew the story behind Xiaomi Group. Officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, although the current market value has shrunk severely, there is still more than 200 billion Hong Kong dollars. If a person wants to achieve small success, he may be able to achieve it on his own, but if he wants to achieve huge success, he must have someone. Help. When Liang Jianzhang founded Ctrip, he joined forces with Ji Qi, Shen Nanpeng and Fan Min. When Yu Minhong wanted to develop New Oriental, he found Xu Xiaoping and Wang Qiang. Kuaidao Qingyi joined. There are also those big companies we are familiar with that have partners when they start a business. For example, Tencent’s “Five Tiger Generals”, Wantong’s “Six Gentlemen”, Baidu’s “Seven Musketeers”, and so on. There are Alibaba's ""Eighteen Arhats"". We all know that connections are very important, because they can help us when we encounter difficulties. And if you want to achieve great success, in addition to connections, you also need helpers, because they are and Standing in the same trench, we can fight together. The strength of a person does not depend on how many stones he can lift, but on how many people he can help. Because people are the key to doing great things, so don't stop. No one can succeed alone. If you want to achieve something and have your own career, you must cooperate with others.
