Dead end and way out

The head of the unit was promoted away, and the position of director was temporarily vacant. In view of the particularity of the business of the unit, the municipal leaders and organizational departments adopted the opinions of the former director, and proposed to directly promote one person from the original deputy of the unit to take over the post of director. Judging from all the conditions, the former executive deputy director and the deputy director who focuses on business are in line with the qualifications of the director. In order to be able to seize this opportunity from vice to full, the two will inevitably have a contest. Although the two of them usually have a good relationship, who cares so much when such a thing happens!

A month later, the city promoted a director from another situation similar to this unit. Moreover, the bureau Committee suddenly promoted two deputies, one is the unit leader and the other is promoted here. Why is there such a big difference in the same situation? The specific reason should be that the two former candidates for bureau chief are very clear.

From this, I thought of a short story I read, called "Dead End and Way Out".

It is said that when the author of the story went fishing by the river, he once met an old man who carried a big crab basket on his back to catch crabs, but there was no cover. Out of kindness, he reminded the old man: "Uncle, you forgot to cover your crab basket." Who knows, the old man gave him a kind look and said, "Young man, thank you for reminding me, but I want to tell you that this crab basket is not covered." Because, as long as a crab wants to climb out, other crabs will catch it and no one can escape. "

I feel that some people in daily life are like crabs. I remember there was a big earthquake somewhere, and a worker in a small coal mine rushed out, unwilling to lag behind. Because the tunnel entrance was too small, people who were eager to escape quickly blocked the exit, and no one could escape. However, there is a small coal mine near the mine. The captain there was very calm at that time. He shouted, "Don't crowd, one by one." Moreover, he did not rush to escape, but stayed as a commander. As a result, more than 20 miners all ran out safely, and he himself was naturally out of danger.

Through this short story, the author realized life: when you give others a chance, you actually give yourself a chance.

I wonder if there is any similarity between the failure of the two directors and the mutual containment between these crabs eager to escape.
