The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period can be regarded as the most splendid period of ideology and culture in China's history, and many representative figures of various schools emerged in the Hundred Sons and Hundreds of Families, such as Shang Martin, a jurist who launched the Shang Martingale Transformation Law to promote the prosperity and strength of the Qin State; for example, Su Qin, a diplomat who lobbied the Six Kingdoms to resist Qin together and form a "combined vertical alliance"; for example, Zhang Yi, a longitudinal and horizontal family who used "horizontal" to break the "vertical" and pioneered the "continuous horizontal" strategy to promote the Six Kingdoms to enter Qin.
It is estimated that many people could not imagine that these famous historical figures actually had a common teacher, that is, the most mysterious and unpredictable in the Warring States period, a hermitage and powerful ghost valley that was proficient in hundreds of schools of learning. But what he is best at is to find out the facts and insight into people's hearts.
Many of the mantras left by Oniguzi have been able to make us feel infinitely useful to this day, including 3 sentences about how to get out of the predicament and move towards the road to success, let's take a look at which three tricks are in the end.
Examine whether there is or not, rather than being vain, and see its aspirations according to its desires.
The first sentence is a mantra about how to deal with the contradictions between work and life with others, which means that if you want to understand how a person thinks, you must first examine his character, examine and determine his reality, and then according to his preferences, find out what he thinks and thinks.
There is a saying in China that goes, "Know thyself and know the other, and never lose a battle." There is also a phrase called "do what you like." Oniguzi's words are actually a combination of the meanings of these two sentences, through understanding opponents or partners, to make more adequate preparations for their own success.
Things will be reversed, and sleepiness will change.
If the above mantra tells us how to deal with interpersonal relationships, then this sentence is the most direct way to tell us how to get out of the predicament, just one word, "change". Everything is relative, if a person is confined to a difficult situation for a long time, it is better to change his thinking to find a new way out.
At this point, the disciples of The Ghost Valley Zi did a good job, such as the Shang Martin in the above example, did not they make the Qin State rich and strong through changing the law, and became the most powerful country in the late Warring States period? And when the Qin Dynasty became strong and was blocked by the Six Kingdoms, it was not zhang Yi who "thought about change" and used the technique of "lianheng" to break Su Qin's "combination of vertical" techniques, and changed his thinking, breaking the dilemma faced by the Qin state.
If you want more, your heart will be scattered, if your heart is scattered, your mind will be weak, and if you want to be weak, you will not be able to think.
External means for the dilemma, in the end only cure the symptoms and can not cure the root cause, can really fundamentally solve the problem, pave a road to success, or can only start from the person itself. If a person has too many desires, he will make his mind scattered; once his mind is scattered, people are easy to be confused; the original full of ambition begins to weaken, and naturally cannot achieve the original goal, and can only go to failure.
Therefore, this sentence warns us that people must strengthen their hearts and have sacrifices to have gains. Not being confused by other interests and not being distracted by other things is the most fundamental way to success, and it is also the biggest reliance on a person to get out of the predicament.
