In the modern era, There are quite a few people who see thinkers and writers as people who have never really succeeded. How can you tell or teach others to do things?
My friend, who is a professor at the university, used to feel a little sad when some students thought this way about him.
Back in school, Our math teachers are not Pythagoreans, Euclids, or Eulers.
The science teacher is not Einstein, Isaac Newton, or Michael Faraday.
When we were studying for a master's degree in marketing, we probably didn't study with Philip Kotler.
Even Michael E. Porter, one of the fathers of modern strategy, is the creator of the Competitive Strategy strategy and the Five Forces Analysis tool used by businesses around the world.
His consulting firm, Monitor Group, also experienced financial difficulties and had to go through bankruptcy proceedings.
Are they really not good at it?
Or people who have never done it or have no direct experience. Is it really impossible to give advice or instruct others?
Back in time to the Three Kingdoms
"Sumatekcho", the country's number one sage, was the teacher of both Confucius, Bangthong and Qixi, the three sages of the Three Kingdoms era.
Sumatekcho was a sage who was incarnate. He did not work with anyone, never ruled the country, never served in the government or fought in the field.
But his disciples are the best battle planners who go anywhere. The opponents are all fearful.
"Loksun" A minor character in the Three Kingdoms that is rarely talked about. Compared to Ngoc Kok's stars such as Jiu Yi and Lo Sok.
But it was because of this Loksun that almost extinguished the dreams of Lao Pi and Confucius in uniting the country.
Strategizing to defeat the victor of the Ten Directions like Guan U to the point of death.
Followed by the leadership of the Ngo Kok army. Defeat Lao Pi's royal army who intends to take revenge on behalf of his brother Guan Wu. But in the end, they have to go to heaven together.
These two battles greatly weakened Jokkok's forces. Unable to move troops to invade the Wui region as desired. Confucius had to devote all his physical strength. Motivation Many more years. In restoring the army to strength again.
"Young, inexperienced" is a saying from the Ngoc Kok advisors. Tell me.
But with his ability and wisdom, Loksun was able to climb the ladder from the district chief of Gig Kok to run the outskirts of Gangtang.
He took on the role of a captain who, despite being insulted by many people, proved himself with his performance.
Until he became the "Chief of Staff". The main character who has supported Sun Guan for more than 30 years.
It is an example that shows that you should not be careless, you should not insult anyone, even if they are younger. He looks less experienced than us.
In the football industry
- Jose Mourinho, one of the most successful football managers in the world. Throughout his coaching career. He has won a total of 26 trophies, including two UEFA Champions League titles and three Premier League titles.
But when he was only a football player for one year with an unfamous local team, he quit playing at the age of 24 without making a name for himself as a player.
- Sir Alex Ferguson The 26-year Manchester United manager has won a total of 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles and two UEFA Champions League titles.
But as a footballer, He is a mid-level striker and has never been in the Scotland national team in a major tournament. In addition to friendly kicks.
- Arrigo Zacky The top coach of the Italian national team, who led AC Milan at that time, was considered the best football team in the world. Won the European Cup 2 times in a row.
"I never knew that a jockey had to be a horse before."
On the other hand, Many superstar footballers when they become managers are not successful, such as:
- Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, and Alan Shearer. International Success
But when he came to manage the team as a manager. However, he had an unimpressive performance. Some of them have led the team to relegation or have been dismissed.
Experience may not be everything.
Past success is no guarantee of future success.
And not having hands-on experience doesn't mean you can't teach or mentor others.
Because people can develop and grow all the time.
Judging who is good or not good It cannot be said in the short term, it will take time to prove. As the saying goes:
"Distance proves horses, time proves people"
Respect and respect for others
Pressing others low It does not help to make yourself taller. We should not belittle or devalue others because they lack experience or never take action.
Prestige can be accumulated by giving, not insulting.
We should give others a chance and respect them. Although they may not have much experience.
