How to settle down?

Criticize meticulously to show your shrewdness.

There is no fish in clear water, and there is no disciple in human observation. Concealing defects today, Kawasawa accepts pollution.

Lao Tzu's statement that his government realized that he lacked people to emulate.

If you are harsh and don't kiss, you will be annoyed and hurt your kindness. Although you say rude words, Xuexuan is superior.

Weighing firewood to cook a few meters, broken tendons and bones, so used, relatives rebelled.

The ancient gentleman has nothing to ask for before, so there is no resentment or evil in the world; Today's gentleman, seeking something out of nothing, makes the people at a loss. Hey, I can't stand it!

If the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and if people are too serious, there will be no friends. Beautiful jade may contain flaws, and rivers may also contain filth.

If the government is too strict, the people will become cunning. This famous saying of Laozi can be used as a criterion for governing the country.

Harsh politics leads to disharmony between ruling and ruled. If it is too harsh and trivial, it will lose the support of the people. Although Xue Xuan used rude language to persuade the emperor, he had the spirit of being a minister. It must be rebellious to consider how to cook rice, meet people and treat things with such a haggle attitude.

Ancient gentlemen always found their place in other people's mistakes, so there was no resentment in the world. The so-called gentleman now is just the opposite. They like to find fault, find fault with people who have no mistakes, and make the world at a loss. Alas! Gold is not enough, no one is perfect. How can you not be picky? Commentators are not sages, what's wrong? Get along with others, don't always pursue perfection and blindly blame. Always encourage yourself with "rare confusion", be tolerant, and you will have many friends. Don't rub half a grain of sand in your eyes, it's too picky. Discuss the merits of any small matter, and people will stay away from you. I can only "call myself lonely" behind closed doors and become a heterogeneous person that people can't avoid.

Retreat bravely

It is heaven to retire after the success of the original text; If you know, you will never give up. Waiting in the fire for cold and summer is great to realize the regret of sheep.

Heaven and man advance and retreat, and failure to retreat is a disaster. The ancestral home is in the east, and the second place is gratifying. The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked. Why not? Hey, I can't stand it!

After your success, you should retire from the torrent, which is in line with the laws of nature. If you only know how to advance and don't know how to retreat, there will be climax and decline as I ching said. The change of nature is that cold comes and summer goes, summer goes and cold comes and summer goes, alternately. So do people. If you reach the peak, it indicates that you will soon enter recession. If you don't realize this, you will be in a dilemma like a sheep's horn stuck in a fence.

The change of nature is the same as the change of personnel, and so is the law of ups and downs. If you don't retire when it's time to retire, disaster and disaster will come at the same time. The people of the Western Han Dynasty had a successful career and resolutely submitted their resignation to the emperor, demanding to go home and spend their old age. The ministers' seeing him off became a momentary beauty talk. Han Xin helped Emperor Gaozu pacify the world and became one of the three outstanding men. But I don't know how to retire. The result was finally cooked by a dead rabbit and a dead dog, which was embarrassing. Alas! How can people not hold back their nostalgia when they succeed? Comment on the full moon is a loss, the water is full. Power is often the same for people. Really smart people often know the truth of quitting at the right time. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Fan Li saw Gou Jian's nature of "only * * * suffering, not * * * doing things". After helping him defeat Wu, he retired and managed his business, making him rich and carefree. In fact, not only political circles, but also outstanding people in other fields should assess the situation and understand the truth that enough is enough and retreat for progress.

at any time

The original text is when it can be done, then from; When you can't do it, it's fierce. Therefore, words and deeds are dangerous, depending on the pollution in the world.

Lao Dan passed through Xirong and spoke a foreign language, while Yu Xia was naked, naked. Mozi called the musical instrument useless and bad, and wore a blowing sheng to see King Jing.

Sticking to the same side is out of date. Trade seal is as rude as spine steamed bun, dazzling, diagnosing ice and snow, suffocating the sun, making people even stupid. Hey, I can't stand it!

You can do what you can, and you will succeed; If you do what you can't do, you will fail and even be in danger. Therefore, whether a person's words and deeds are noble or humble depends on whether the world is clear or not.

Lao Dan went to Xirong to learn the language there, and Yu Xia took off his clothes when he went streaking. Mozi didn't like music and thought musical instruments were bad, but when he arrived in Jingchu, he also wore brocade and played sheng.

Stubborn and inflexible, these are all inappropriate people. Selling cotton hats in Fujian and Vietnam, selling shoes in barefoot places, wearing undershirts in cold weather and cotton-padded clothes in hot sun will all be considered stupid. Alas! How can people not resist their stubbornness? Comment on the old saying: "The way of sage is also the way of stretching forward and backward." Only by adapting to the current situation and being good at guiding it can one achieve great things. Wu Zetian, the first female emperor in the history of China, is a person who can control the times. At first, she was a gifted scholar of Emperor Taizong. When Emperor Taizong was dying, she was still young. Emperor Taizong meant to let her be buried with him. At this time, Wu Zetian not only established an ambiguous relationship with the then prince-later emperor Gaozong, but also chose a popular way of self-cultivation-becoming a monk. This not only shows the loyalty to the emperor, but also saves his own life. We don't need to comment on whether Wu Zetian's move conforms to traditional ethics, but it is this timely move that made her grasp the steering wheel of success at the most critical moment.

be of the same age

The original official is the current official, and the Spring and Autumn Period is the respect; Co-authored Yu Shu. Living in every corner of the world, we are in the same column, as brothers, and we discuss and decide.

The country forgets its home, and the public forgets its privacy. There is no doubt about greed. Words can be said, things are right and wrong, less unsatisfactory, and contradictions are deadlocked.

Distinguish the people in the curtain and think they are rebellious; Critics in Taichung thought it was going well, and Changli's suggestion was enough to admonish them. Hey, I can't stand it!

People who are officials together are called colleagues, which is defined in Spring and Autumn Annals. Colleagues should cooperate with each other, respect each other and be intimate, which is what Yu Shu requires. Although the birthplaces are far apart, when we are officials together, we have to discuss and decide things with each other like brothers.

Forgetting one's home for one's country, forgetting one's personal interests for the public, and without greed and belligerence in one's heart, one will not use and frame each other. There are right and wrong suggestions and wrong actions. If colleagues understand each other, there will be no contradiction and then tit for tat.

If you say people are good or bad in public in the government, people will think you have ulterior motives; Comment on others in small talk, and others will think you admire them. Han Yu's proverbs are enough to alert those who speak casually regardless of the occasion. Alas! How can people be intolerant and impatient with their colleagues? Comments Since ancient times, the relationship between "colleagues" and colleagues is one of the most sensitive interpersonal relationships. Once the contradiction between colleagues appears, it is difficult to heal, so we must learn to deal with this relationship.

So what should I do if I want to have a harmonious interpersonal relationship at work? First, focus on the overall situation, make up more and remove less; 2. Keep an appropriate distance when communicating with colleagues and superiors; When dealing with differences, we should seek common ground while reserving differences. When encountering contradictions, be tolerant and learn to apologize; Fourth, treat promotion and utility, keep a normal heart and don't be jealous.

for work

The original text is not refined, and blood refers to shame. The skillful craftsman looked at shrinking his sleeves.

At the age of 70, I am old and round, and I can do it easily, although I don't carry on the family line.

A hundred workers live in four places to achieve their goals, and a gentleman still learns his way. Learning without skill is embarrassing, doing without skill, and skill without skill.

The state-owned party's gift, with the ranking of winter officials, is pampered and warm home, high skills and small heart. Hey, I can't stand it!

People who are not good at using axes will hurt their fingers and make them sweat, while real craftsmen stand by and watch. In this way, it is not a waste of their superb craftsmanship.

When he was 70 years old, he could still cut wheels skillfully. This skill cannot be mastered by others through teaching, and even his son can't understand his skill.

Artisans from all walks of life can only learn skills in the workshop, just as a gentleman can only understand the truth through learning. If you are not proficient in learning, you will lack talents, and if you are not proficient, you will lack skills. The state has government agencies specializing in the manufacture of utensils for the emperor, and there are also institutions in charge of engineering production by winter officials. Some craftsmen are in high positions because of the emperor's love, with warm families and rich materials. This is because he is skilled and cautious. Alas! As a craftsman, you should be more devoted than the average person. How can you not resist half-heartedness? A critic has five magic weapons in his life: body, friends, a good wife, books and skills. In any case, other Four Treasures of the Study's "skills" alone have started a little. If we look at those successful people, we will find that many of them start their success by mastering a skill. Chef Xiao Yubin, who is good at whole fish deboning, has become a famous chef at home and abroad. Warren Buffett, an American who specializes in stocks, turned out to be an expert in stock investment and a billionaire. Bill Gates specialized in computer software and became the richest man in the world. From this point of view, learning anything can make you gain a skill and achieve something in such a complicated and noisy modern society.

For business.

Businessmen, businessmen, discussion again and again. Suppliers change what they need and discuss what they want.

Priority use, low price, not suitable for people who are not in the market. Gouzi is called a good Jia and does not compete with others for buying and selling prices; "National policy" applauds buying and selling, so why bother to let Lu people drink sheep in the morning?

Huo Zhi's kindness in ancient times, taking the people's home, relieving the people's urgency, and waiting for the time, earned ten times the profit. Tao Zhu's accumulation of gold, selling fat and selling preserved meat are all anti-planning and beneficial to the day. Hey, I can't stand it!

Businessmen, that is, traders, are also called consulting. There are vendors who exchange needed goods, and there are price disputes when there is negotiation.

The demand for goods is slow and urgent, the price is low and high, and there is no market without bargaining. Gou Zi believes that smart businessmen are better at seizing opportunities than arguing with customers about prices. According to the Warring States Policy, a good businessman doesn't have to mix inferior products with good goods, just like the people of Lu feed the sheep in the morning.

In ancient times, people who were good at doing business didn't buy what the public urgently needed, but sold what people needed, calmly waited for the opportunity and sought greater profits. Tao Zhu's family has accumulated a thousand taels of gold, and vendors selling oil and preserved fruits can become wealthy businessmen, all of which can be considered in the long run, instead of coveting small profits overnight. Alas! Pay attention to the timing when doing business. In the face of petty profits, how can people not resist the pursuit? The meaning of this comment is that the goods operated must be of good quality in order to be welcomed by the market, so that the goods will not be overstocked and the funds will not be idle. In business activities, even if the price keeps rising, don't want property hoarding, and don't covet high profits. Leaving the "expensive" goods may suffer losses due to changes in market prices.

Therefore, when the market commodity price becomes more expensive, we should treat it like dirt, do not hesitate, and do not hoard and profiteer; When the goods on the market are cheap, we must buy in large quantities at all costs, such as Zhuyu. In this way, the capital flows quickly and the profits are rich. From this point of view, businessmen must "assess the situation" and grasp the "degree" of profits in order to be invincible.

make friends

It turns out that friendship is like real gold, and then it doesn't change color. Today, it is like a storm, and it has not turned Gan Kun around.

Keep knowledge, be poor; Zhang Fanzhiyi, life and death are inseparable.

Light is all sweet and bad, which is forbidden by sages; It is easy to talk about the amount of bribes, and it is easy to talk about indifference. Cover a gentleman's friendship and be cautious; The villain's effect is called the city.

Yunzi welcomes Chen Gu's wife. As for separation, Xihua's brother Hu Xin is not afraid. It means that if you don't know each other, you will live up to your promise. Hey, I can't stand it!

The friendship of the ancients is like real gold, which will not change color after tempering; The communication between modern people is like the flood in July and August. I am full in the morning and may dry up in the evening.

Guan zhong and Bao know each other as one, no matter how poor or accessible, they will not change; The friendship between Paradigm and Zhang Shao, no matter life or death, will not divorce.

A friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, which can last for a long time, but a friendship between villains is sweet but easy to destroy. This is what the sages warned us; Intersecting with power and paying for benefits; Mutual desire and intersection; It is easy to heat up and cool down. Therefore, moral people should be consistent in making friends. Making friends with ordinary people is just like doing business in the market.

Qiu took his wife and children and gave them their own house to live in. I don't care about the sons I used to know. When friends gain power, they swear to heaven that they will never lose each other. Once they lose power, they will become strangers. Alas! A hedge between keeps friendship green. How can people not resist making friends? Comments As the saying goes, "One fence has three piles, one hero has three gangs". A man can't live without his friends and his support. However, there is a choice about what kind of friends you make. The ancients said, "The winner has three friends, and the loser has three friends. Friends are frank, friends forgive and friends listen more, which is beneficial.

Friends are withdrawn, friendly and soft, while friends are destructive and damaging. "In other words, making friends with honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable people will benefit a lot; It is harmful to make friends with flattering, insincere and flashy people. This sentence still has a strong reference significance today.

juvenile

Primitive teenagers, such as Yangchun, have beautiful flowers, but they are over 90 years old, with hot summer and sad autumn, like a circle. Life geometry, suicide; Greedy for wine and lust, galloping in the game; Humiliate the old, the party is evil and healthy; Give up throwing poetry books and teach them not to listen. Bai Yi, a beautiful young woman, is approaching old age and will never come back. What a pity to be unlearned! Hey, I can't stand it!

When people are young, the sunshine is as bright as spring, but time is fleeting and the good times are not long. When I was in bloom, it suddenly passed, but in March, it was a hot summer, followed by the autumn when everything was dying, then the snowy winter, and so on. How long can people live? How can you not cherish your life? Love wine, beauty and gambling. Make friends with bad people, make enemies with good people and insult the elderly; If you don't read the books of sages, you can't listen to the teachings of others. Once the black hair turns white, the beauty grows old with time, and the good times are gone forever. You are ignorant and it is too late to regret. Alas! Youth is the best time in life, how can you not resist indulgence? Comments on youth are the most precious, and there are many inspirations in ancient literary works. Cao Cao lamented the "geometry of life" in the poem "A short line of songs", and Du Fu lamented in the poem "Wandering in the North": "When were you young?" In Li Bai's poem "Into the Wine", there is also a poem "Morning is like moss, dusk is like snow". It is a fact that time flies. Even if today's people are teenagers, they will be "old" sometimes. How to make their youth better depends on how we make use of the good times of our youth.

Senior commander

What happens outside the original text, the general is in charge, despotism underestimates the enemy, and dare not violate it. Wei Qing didn't cut the general to the son of heaven, and Yafu didn't fight a deep ditch. The army does not consider itself weak, and public opinion also calls it beauty.

Chen Tang, who prolonged his life, tried to correct the system and cut off his branch with his hand, which gave Wan a great shock. His failure was rewarded, and he was imprisoned for many deaths.

Since ancient times, being a general, you are cautious and independent; When the two armies confront each other, they should avoid acting rashly. So Sima Yi endured the legacy of women, but still feared Zhuge's death. Meng endured the defeat of Liling and finally achieved the three uses of Mu Gong. Hey, I can't stand it!

Things outside the court are presided over by the general. Even if the general is autocratic and underestimates the enemy, others dare not disobey him: Wei Qing left the dereliction of duty adjutant to the emperor. Yafu doesn't play easily and insists on deep ditch and high base. The army doesn't think this is weakness, and public opinion praises them!

Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang of the Western Han Dynasty lied that they were ordered by the emperor to send troops to attack the Xiongnu and killed Khan and the Western Regions, but before their reward was fulfilled, Chen Tang was imprisoned and almost died in prison. Since ancient times, people who can take care of them are very important; The confrontation between the two armies is the most taboo. So Sima Yi endured Zhuge Liang's provocation that he was a woman, and even more endured Zhuge Liang's telling Sima Yi that he was still alive. Endure humiliation, finally defeated the state of Jin, and achieved the hegemony of annexing Xirong. Alas! How can a general not endure challenges and setbacks? Commenting on Lincoln's speech in the Senate after he took office, a senator stood up and said, "Mr. Lincoln, before you start your speech, I want you to remember that you are the son of a shoemaker." Lincoln said, "I am very grateful to you for reminding me of my father. He's dead. I will always remember your advice. I will always be the shoemaker's son. I know I will never be a good president like the shoemaker's father. " He turned to the senator and said, "As far as I know, my father once made shoes for your family. If your shoes don't fit, I can help you correct them. Although I am not a great shoemaker, I have studied the art of shoemaking with my father since I was a child. "

It was with this calm attitude that Lincoln moved his opponent. Imagine, if a person has such tolerance and mind, what can he achieve?
