Fame depends on appearance, and career depends on spirit.

In the traditional culture of China, there are several books about "knowing people". At the end of Han Dynasty, there were figures of Liu Shao, and the latest one was Zeng Guofan's ice guide in Qing Dynasty. As we all know, Zeng Guofan, a famous minister of ZTE in Qing Dynasty, was a great politician in modern history, so it is unnecessary to introduce his life experience and political achievements. Later generations said that he had great achievements and thirteen sets of stunts, but eleven sets of great strategies have never been handed down, leaving only two sets of stunts for future generations. One set is "ice guide", which passed on the skills of interacting with people taught by his teacher to future generations. Since then, many political, military and even economic leaders have used the technique of selecting and appointing people described in his "Ice Guide", which has indeed received some results.

The fortune-telling theory contained in Zeng Guofan's "Fortune-telling Knowledge-Ice Guide" is different from other fortune-telling books. He said:

"Fame depends on instrumentality", when it comes to instrumentality, China's philosophy is linked with literature. How to explain this "instrumental"? Just a few things. "Yu" stands for celestial body. What is "the spirit"? It is the form of celestial structure. I can hardly explain it this way. As China people say, "This man is very polite." . What is blowing is the "wind", and what is measured is how wide and how long the "degree" is. As for a person's "demeanor", it is an abstract adjective, but it is also very scientific. For example, in public, one of them is very attractive. This person is not necessarily beautiful, and there is nothing special on the surface, but he makes people feel different from others. This is called "grace". "Fame depends on appearance", that is, whether this person has fame or not depends on his demeanor.

"Career depends on spirit". Of course, if a person is mentally ill and tired after doing one thing, what career prospects will he have?

"The poor look at nails", whether a person has a future depends on nails, and what does nails have to do with people's future? It definitely matters. According to physiology, nails are mainly composed of calcium. If calcium is not enough, it means poor physical strength. Poor physical strength, there is no spiritual competition. Some people's nails are not tile-shaped but flat, so we know that such people are very weak and sick.

"Life depends on the heel", but his life span is not long. Look at his heels when he walks. I once had a student who couldn't walk. He is really short-lived. Such people are short-lived first and smart second. Therefore, he works fast, but he is not practical.

"If you want to see order, it is only in words", and how a person thinks depends on whether he speaks in order, which is very scientific.

Many people are prone to dizziness, confusion, lack of wisdom, inattention, excessive distraction and slow reaction, all of which are manifestations of unhealthy brain. The brain is very important, as China people say, "One point of spirit, one point of career". For example, some doctors in China say that tonifying kidney is actually nourishing brain, and kidney is connected with brain. Pay special attention to reading medicine. If you think it's just tonifying the kidney, it's a big joke.

I can't do anything when I'm in a daze. If you write an article and stand there staring blankly with a pen, you will feel sleepy if you can't read two pages. Just like the Monkey King's younger brother Zhu Bajie, you are bored and are in a daze. Although sometimes the eyes are open, people are in a daze. Why do Buddhists knock wooden fish when chanting Buddha? Sleep with your eyes wide open like a fish, be alert when knocking at wooden fish, and keep a man of practice bright day and night. If his mind is in a daze all day, he will get * * * in the afterlife, which is a fool; Changing a pig is a stupid pig, and changing a dog into a bird is a stupid dog. Being groggy is so terrible that you can't bear anything.

As the saying goes, "Career depends on spirit". A person who really does business and has knowledge has more energy than ordinary people. This energy comes from passion and ambition. If a bandit forces you with a gun and forbids you to sleep for three days, you will be shot if you sleep. Of course, you will never dare to sleep, and you will be willful. Because if you want to save your life, the spirit will come, so the more you use it, the more flexible your mind will be. Someone said, "Alas! No, I'm in poor health. " I can see at a glance that this is a lazy guy. If I meet such a person, I will never ask him to do anything, because he is "unable to undertake a job." One point spirit, one point career; Part is spirit, part is learning, and that's how people come.

But if a person is in poor health, he has to rest for a while and don't ask too much of him. I learned this truth from my students. Because I have several students with good ability and high wisdom, to be honest, I admire his talent and insight. But the terrible thing is that I gave him something and I haven't heard from him for a month. Scold him? Can't stand it. In fact, he caught a cold in three or two days, and he had to stay in bed all day. He has no spirit and has to lie down and sleep. I just found out that "rotten wood can't be carved, and the wall of dung can't be carved." "It's not that he is bad, but that his foundation is too weak.

However, people are strange. People with weak bodies have good brains. Read Mencius' special chapter: "People with virtue and wisdom will often suffer from dysentery. A sick person will think more and learn more, because he often suffers from illness and has no other activities in his body. It is difficult for a man with good physical strength to write two articles when he wins the championship in sports competitions. You can't have both; There are too few people with good physical fitness, high wisdom and both civil and military skills. It is a fact that most people with good knowledge and morality are sickly.

Some people are too weak in temperament, so their brains are not enough, their attention is not enough, their health is not good, and they are fake bodies. Therefore, the heel does not stand on tiptoe when walking, and the heel does not stand on tiptoe when doing things. If you don't have enough gasoline, you need to replenish it. If you are angry, everything will be fine, and you will be lucky. You will make a fortune. If a person is popular enough, then his luck will get better and his financial resources will achieve something. Wealth, wealth, and anger. Look at that depressed man. Look at the man who failed in business. You can see it from his expression. Look at people who want to borrow money. He can't even talk. I'm telling you, he just looks discouraged.

Even if a person is brilliant and knowledgeable, he can't talk about his career without good physical fitness and abundant energy. To do business, you must have strong physical strength and full spirit. Some people have ideas, abilities and talents, but they can't do it well all their lives because they lack energy and spirit. Therefore, Zeng Guofan's physiognomy said, "fame depends on appearance, and career depends on spirit." "That makes sense!
