What wisdom does Laozi have to guide the success of modern people's career?

Laozi's Tao Te Ching is one of the highest-level philosophical classics in China's traditional culture and a profound summary of life and social laws. This paper selects seven philosophies of Laozi about business wisdom, and learning these philosophies is very beneficial to the success of modern people's career.

First, Lao Tzu said, "Slow down and benefit greatly; If you are in a hurry, it will be a great harm. "

This sentence means that you can make a profit by doing things slowly. If you are eager for success, you will get a disaster.

Laozi

A monk asked the Zen master, "With my qualifications, how many years will it take to be enlightened?" ? The Zen master said, "Ten years". The student asked, "What if I study harder?" ? The Zen master said, "20 years." The monk said, "What if I practice penance day and night"? The Zen master said, "There will never be a day of enlightenment."

Take your time. The faster you want to make progress, the more setbacks you encounter and the slower you progress. If you want to make progress slowly, you will encounter fewer setbacks and make rapid progress as a result.

Second, the Tao Te Ching says, "If you want to take it, you must hold it." .

In other words, if you want it, you must pay in advance.

If you want to achieve something, you must work hard first.

Thirdly, Tao Te Ching said, "A saint is not great after all, so he can become great.".

In other words, it is precisely because saints are never arrogant that they become big shots.

Arrogant people often exaggerate themselves and fail to understand themselves correctly, which often leads to the failure of their careers. People who can look at themselves correctly can often look at others and the outside world correctly and make correct judgments, so that their career can be successful.

Laozi

Fourth, the Tao Te Ching said, "The reason why rivers are the king of the hundred valleys is to take their goodness."

It is precisely because Jianghai is in the lowest position in the world that all rivers join him and become the king of all rivers.

The same is true of kings on earth. Only by being in a low position and doing things with humility can ten thousand people join in and become the king among people.

When the king enjoys himself, he will fall from the throne.

Fifth, the Tao Te Ching says: "Retire after success, the way of heaven".

Prosperity will decline, which is a universal law of things. Taking the initiative to quit after success can avoid the end of passive degeneration.

Sixth, Tao Te Ching says, "Sages teach without words".

Many leaders often instruct their subordinates what to do, but superior leaders don't use words to teach others. He let the organization develop naturally, let subordinates decide their own work, and let subordinates feel that they can give full play to their abilities, so the organization works best.

Seventh, the Tao Te Ching says, "If you run a big country, you can cook small things.".

In other words, a wise man running a country is as simple as cooking a small fish.

Some emperors think it is very difficult to govern the country. He does everything himself, takes care of everything and works very hard. Such an emperor is praised.

Tao Te Ching

But people in trouble will not, and it is not difficult for people in trouble. For a wise man who has seen through the problem of governing the country, governing the country is simple and easy. He used the method of "doing nothing" to govern the country, but he did little in governing the country. The method of governing the country is very simple. But his ruling effect is better than that of an emperor who is busy with everything.

The way I'm talking about is the way of people with high IQ. Learning from Laozi's wisdom is very beneficial to the development of our modern cause.
