Chapter 3 Losing a continent for a butterfly?
Determine the goal, we must stick to it. ? ?

In 1802, Britain and France each sent a fleet to Australia, the newly discovered "new continent", and both wanted to be the first to plant their flags on this continent.The British side was led by Captain Frinstadt, and the French side was led by Captain Amelan. Both captains were experienced navigators who had been at sea for a long time.Both sides knew that the other party had also sent an occupation fleet, so they were not to be outdone, and the fight was fierce. ?
At that time, the French ship technology was more advanced.The three-masted clipper ship led by Captain Amelan was the first to arrive at today's Victoria Harbor in Australia, and named it "Napoleon's Domain".Just when they were preparing to plant their flags, they suddenly discovered a rare and unique local butterfly, so all the elated Frenchmen set out to catch this butterfly together. ?
Coincidentally, at the same time that the French were chasing butterflies deep into the hinterland of the continent, the British also came here.When they saw the French fleet anchored on the shore, the crew thought that the French had occupied the area, and they were extremely depressed.But Captain Frinstad still ordered his subordinates to land, ready to congratulate the French with grace.Unexpectedly, when I went to the shore, I could see neither the French nor any signs of occupation.As a result, the British immediately acted urgently, inserting various signs of the British Empire everywhere. ?
When the French came back with beautiful butterfly specimens, they were surprised to find that their "Napoleon's territory" no longer existed, and the British were ready to introduce them to the territory of "Victoria" as if they were victors. ?
In this way, Australia completed the transition from the French colony to the Commonwealth system in one day, leaving the romantic French with only some poor butterfly specimens and endless frustration. ?
This is the story of a continent lost for a butterfly. ?
Mind walk?

French psychologists were upset every time the Australian story was told, because their soldiers had lost a continent to a butterfly.But they still tell this story to people, so as to serve as a "teacher for the future". ?
Therefore, in view of this story, we must understand that you must not be distracted by some small profits, and you will lose more than you gain.Remember the words of Confucius: Seeing small gains can lead to great failures. ?
