What kind of association comes to mind, you just have to hear the word "trick"? The fox, oddly enough. This red cheat is a storehouse of tricks in Russian fairy tales. But what is a trick? What does the fox-cheat take? And why is she sly because she is red?
Let's talk about tricks in more detail.
What it is?
What is a trick: does this concept have a definition? The trick is the ability to use various techniques and techniques that a person possesses in order to achieve his goals. The definition is pretty clear, right? Although, let's translate into a more accessible language.
A trick is a deception by which one achieves one's goals. Such a definition will be more honest and true.
Types of Tricks
What is a trick and what does it happen? We dealt with the first part of the question. Now let's talk about the second.
The trick is congenital and acquired. Inborn trick is an intuitive behavior model. It allows you to achieve your goal in various indirect ways: resourcefulness, invention, dexterity and other tricks. Often innate cunning is manifested in primitive lies. For example, a child is deceiving parents, and they know that he is lying. And when they bring the child to clean water, the descendant rolls up a scandal, trying to achieve his goal. Here the parents either retreat, thereby reinforcing the unwanted behavior of the child, or stop such behavior. Congenital cunning is based on intuitive behavior; it does not require knowledge.
As for the acquired trick, it is based on knowledge. A person receives worldly experience, acquires wisdom and learns to achieve his goals in indirect ways. All the useful tricks that a person acquires in the process of life are built on knowledge.
The trick is multifaceted
The first subsection defines this concept. But is it that simple? What does the trick include? Deception, deceit, resourcefulness, concealment of something, manipulation, hypocrisy. Some of the listed qualities are hardly positive.
But is a cunning equal to a deceiver? Not always, because very often it happens that the trick is used not to distort true facts, but in a wise context. It is one thing when a person sells a dog because of a move and is silent about the fact that she has repeatedly bitten all family members. Cheatril? Yes, but this trick is false. And it’s a completely different matter when a woman has to spin and save a pretty penny, because her husband does not give extra money for expenses. And the wife is on maternity leave, for example. And with the money saved, she buys something for the child. Also a trick, but based on wisdom. A woman is cunning not with the purpose of lying, but in order to improve the life of her own child.
Or the husband sees that his wife is upset. He gives her a compliment, perhaps not true. A man is cunning, but this is a wise cunning.
Another example: the father manipulates the child, knowing how he loves him. And he manipulates in his own interests, not taking into account the moral condition of his offspring. Is this a positive trick? Of course not.
What does the dictionary say?
What is a trick? The explanatory dictionary reads:
This is invention, mastery in something. Indeed, in order to be able to approach their goals in indirect ways, sometimes it takes a very big trick.
Reception, trick, deceit, dodgy cunning. What we talked about above.
What is wrong with the fox?
What is the trick, we examined. This concept is multifaceted. And one more thing can be added to it. The "composition" of cunning includes flattery. That's what the red fox took - a cheat from Russian fairy tales and fables.
Take the Crow and the Fox, for example. Fox really wanted cheese. But instead of asking the crow, she charmed the bird. By honestly asking, it was unlikely that the redhead would have received the desired piece completely. If at all received. And it was worth it to flatter how well the crow sings, - please eat. The crow was hooked and paid with its food.
How often do people become ravens like this when caught on a flattery hook? Only reckoning is much more expensive than a piece of cheese.
How to tell a child about tricks?
How to define for children what cunning is? Let's try to formulate. Cunning is a special feature of man. This is the ability to use your capabilities and impossibilities without deceiving other people.
Not cheating? Really? Yes, cunning is not a lie if it does not harm other people.
Home Tricks
They say that every mistress has her own tricks. Some, for example, cook marinades very well with their own hands, the tricks of such hostesses are their own. They bake the second amazing pies, the third - they cook soups so that you lick your fingers. Are there tricks in such tricks? No, they are built on worldly wisdom. And do not harm others, but rather - on the contrary. Get to such a hostess in the house, you will not go hungry.
Each of us has his own everyday tricks. How, for example, to clean the microwave? It's simple: pour water into a bowl and put in the microwave for half an hour. Such a worldly trick will be useful to many hostesses.
About tricks and emotions
We now know what a trick is. What it happens and on what is based. The subtitle is rather strange, but the question arises: will a cunning person allow himself emotions?
Imagine that you really want to wash the bones of a harmful and annoying colleague. She needs everything, her nose will stick everywhere. Again she offended her young colleague, and she was impatient to express her indignation, to share with her colleague - friend. So the young girl shares such injustice, is indignant, resolutely condemns the old and harmful employee who made her remark.
Emotions released? But is this a wise act? Hardly. A wise person and a sly one will not give vent to their emotions in public. But he will make sure that the same offending colleague will release emotions. And he will do it very competently and subtly, without offending her.
Is it possible? Quite. Quietly listen to the offender, and then, without raising the tone, say that the boss has no complaints about the job. How long has a colleague become his deputy? Or did he shift his powers to her? Oh no? Then, please, do your work, and I will cope with my own.
A colleague was indignant? Her right. Everything was said culturally, without a transition to personality. And what does this lady of emotion let out, who is to blame for her? You need to be more balanced.
