There is such a saying in the U.S., “Behind every successful man, there is a capable woman.” This wisdom can be explained in Chinese sayings in a more straightforward way.
People in China used to call “hula” （忽悠）someone (Flattering in non-sincere ways that can cause hallucinations in someone’s mind) as “Patting a horse’s butt” （拍马屁）. Yet every once a while, they may accidentally reach to a true tiger’s butt instead. Another Chinese saying of “Never touch a tiger’s butt” (老虎的屁股摸不得）is self-explanatory. However even the tiger may start getting the hula-fever after a while because he simply needs doze off under all the hula noises. However what others may not know is that he may have a smart and tough tigress on ultra alert at that time, who will simply kick his butt to alert him.
In the mumble-jumble world of today, individuality is such a rarity that many people simply don’t even have the time to notice its void in themselves. Herd effect is a common phenomenon for those people who are trying so hard to fit into, either a corporation, a community, a group or even a family or friend circle. However, without individuality, rarely there is creativity, especially those extraordinary creativity.
For those folks who are buried by the “herd effect”, who even just remotely sense the same way consciously or subconsciously, who feel that they may have lost control of their own life, TriStrategist recommends the following practices:
1. Keep some simple minutes everyday as the “I, Me, Myself” time
2. Practice meditation
3. Get in touch with nature and strengthen their own earthly souls
By doing such often, we can all look forward to restoring our individualities and make the world a lot more colorful, interesting and tolerant.
