群
沒有劉備,張飛就是個賣肉的,關羽是個編筐的。所以,要有個朋友圈。孫悟空沒有唐僧就是隻猴子,唐僧沒了悟空也只是個和尚。所以,要有個團隊。馬鈴薯身價平凡,番茄也如此。但是自從薯條搭配番茄醬以後,你想到翻幾倍嗎?所以,合作很重要。王安石20歲時進京趕考,元宵節時路過一地,一大戶人家懸燈出題招親。聯曰:“走馬燈,燈走馬,燈熄馬停步。”王安石不會答, 卻記在心中。到京後誰知主考官所出之聯竟是:“飛虎旗,旗飛虎,旗卷虎藏身。 ”王安石提筆就以招親聯作答,得中進士。衣錦還鄉時發現那聯居然仍未有人會答,王安石便又以考題聯作答, 竟又得了個漂亮媳婦。這個故事告訴我們:要多出來溜溜。群聊也許能拓寬你的思路,增加你的人脈,紅颜知己也很有可能哦!專家經過研究認為,一個溫馨的群組,一個活躍的群組,理想的構成是這樣的:1、要有一個傻不拉嘰的群主。2、要有幾個比狗睡得晚,比公雞起得還早的失眠者。3、要有時不時蹦出幾句冷幽默的疑似思想家。4、最好還要有幾個文人騷客。5、要有幾個有事沒事經常對話的好友。6、要有幾名不甘老去的世俗憤青。7、要有掌握各種消息的“內部”人士。8、要有一位甘願受虐經常挨罵被戲謔的好對象。9、要有幾個風姿不減當年的萬人迷。10、要有幾個存儲記憶能力超強的超級大腦。11、要有幾個三天兩頭晒養生的專家。12、要有一名正襟危坐經常維持群規的風紀領䄂。13、要有一位經常身在海外,心係本群的時差先生或女士。14、要有一個每天風雨無阻,準時放送早、晚安貼圖的老夥伴。15、要有幾個愛發各種搞笑段子、搞笑視頻的奇才。16、要有幾個愛發情感雞湯的萬能人生大師。17、還要有經常召集各種聚會的群眾飯聚領袖。18、要有喜好照相,不時放送洗版相片的組員。19、最後也要有眾多個一言不發,寧願潛水憋死也絕不退群的基礎群員。希望您也是其中之一。轉載其他群組來的。
