One of my guests, I think he has no talent,

want to host him anymore.
He answered.
Are you sure he's really worthless? Or are
you not seeing his strengths?
If you drop a monkey into the water and you
make the monkey compete with a fish in a swimming competition, you must think
the monkey is clumsy.
If you ever let a horse climb a mountain,
and you let it compete with a fox in a mountain climbing competition, then you

you put the warfighter in a farming competition with a farmer, you must think

inappropriate position for this person, and then the leader says to this
person, you are a mediocre person, how would you evaluate the leader?

(魯仲連)（西元前305年-西元前245年）
他的姓是(魯)，他的父母給他取的名字是(仲連)，他出生地位於在中國的山東省。
他是古代中國一個品德很高尚的人，他的名字叫做(魯仲連)。
他的名字就是一個成語。這個成語的意思是和事佬的意思。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
齊王國的一個貴族，他的名字是(田文)。
他結交了很多的朋友，每天在他家裡吃飯的客人超過3000個人。
有一天，他與(田文)對話。
(田文)說。
我的客人中，有一位我認為他沒有才能，他是一個很平庸的人，所以我想請他離開我的家，我不想要再接待他了。
他回答。
你確定他真的一無是處嗎?還是你沒有發現他的長處呢?
如果你把一隻猴子丟到水裡，你讓這隻猴子跟一條魚進行游泳比賽，那麼你一定會認為猴子很笨拙。
如過你讓一匹馬去爬山，你讓這匹馬跟一隻狐狸進行爬山比賽，那麼你一定會認為這匹馬很笨拙。
如過你讓一個戰士去耕田，你讓這位戰事與一位農夫進行耕種比賽，那麼你一定會認為這個戰士很笨拙。
每個人都有不同的長處、每個人也都會有各自的短處。
如果一個領導者把一個人放在這個人不合適的位置上，然後這個領導者對這個人說，你是一個平庸的人，你會怎樣評價這個領導者呢?
如果一個領導者把一個人放在這個人不合適的位置上，然後這個領導者嫌棄這個人太笨拙，這個領導者辭退這個不適任的人，你如果是這個被解任的人你的感受會是如何呢?
你會因此怨恨這個領導者並且想要報復這個領導者呢?
你認為這個領導者是一個好的領導者嗎?他可以成為別的領導者的楷模嗎?
聽完這些話，(田文)說。
你說的是對的，我應該先檢討自已是否具備用人所長的眼光，而不是輕易的否定一個人的價值。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你的長處與短處為何呢?你認為一個好的領導者必須要有怎樣的特質呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
