Being a person, difficult things to see the responsibility; adversity to see the heart; gain and loss to see the mentality; can bend and stretch the husband.
In this world, there is always "the capable go up and the incompetent go down." It is possible to opportunistically seek high positions, but not for long.
People with equal strength, those with big patterns, have the ability to play to the extreme, go further, and fly higher.
At the beginning of the Warring States period, the famous Wei general Pang Juan and Sun Zhen worshiped at the same time under the Ghost Valley Zi, and the two were classmates. Later, Pang Juan was jealous of Sun Zhi's talent, tried to frame Sun Zhen, and cut off his kneecap.
Pretending to be crazy and stupid, Sun Bing escaped and defected to the State of Qi, was appointed as a military division by the King of Qiwei, defeated Pang Juan, and left behind the "Art of War of Sun Zhen", which was praised by posterity.
Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are both capable people, but Zhuge Liang's three qi Zhou Yu killed him. Zhou Yu sighed, "Both Shengyu and He Shengliang." ”
There is no big pattern, even if the ability is superior, it will not go very far, and it will eventually be a failure.
What pattern, what fate: If you want to become a human being, in addition to ability, you need the following two patterns.
02
Foresight: Think big in everything.
Zeng Guofan said: "Those who seek great things should pay attention to the pattern first." ”
Before doing things, we must first plan the situation, and we cannot start casually. Lower your posture, then look far ahead, and eventually be able to be quiet and far-reaching, and become a superior person.
In the official field of the Qing Dynasty, the palanquin carried by eight people was a manifestation of the high official position.
Zeng Guofan led the Xiang army to suppress the Taiping Army, made meritorious contributions, and was promoted to Erpin official. People around him suggested that he change the palanquin and recommended the sedan. Zeng Guofan refused, still sitting in a four-person palanquin, and there was no guide officer before and after. At that time, the four-person palanquin was a palanquin that could be sat below the level of a four-pin official, and the color was blue.
Once, Zeng Guofan was sitting on a blue palanquin, and he met another blue palanquin in the alley, and everyone did not give in to each other. The other party was unreasonable and rushed forward, trying to drag Zeng Guofan out.
Opening the curtain, the other party was frightened and quickly knelt down.
Of course, Zeng Guofan did not care about this matter.
The senior officials of the capital, when traveling, all explained to the guide: "Look at the point, the palanquin of Lord Zeng is blue." ”
Zeng Guofan was able to soar, which was inseparable from the situation at that time - the situation created heroes.
He was originally a man of letters, but with wisdom, he built the Xiang Army and destroyed the Taiping Army.
Army management, ideological discipline first; army building standards: "Breathing cares for each other, pain and itching are related, go to the fire to go together, follow the soup and go together, win a glass of wine to make merit, and defeat is to give death to save each other." A series of plans have enabled the Rapid Rise of the Xiang Army.
After suppressing the Taiping Army, Zeng Guofan disbanded the Xiang Army.
In the official field for decades, Zeng Guofan has been able to mix well; in terms of family development, he can appear from generation to generation, and a series of developments have embodied the "pattern".
From Zeng Guofan, we can see two aspects of the pattern: humility and foresight.
Only those who press their bodies low can look up and be human; only by locking their eyes in the distance can they surpass others and overcome others.
But when the two armies are opposed, who can win, is decided at the beginning.
Strength, strategy, wisdom and other aspects, a comparison, you can distinguish between victory and defeat. The so-called "those who get Providence, those who win the world", in fact, Providence is the will of the people, that is, strength.
Ancient and modern exchanges, Zhuge Liang, five hundred years of knowledge, five hundred years of knowledge; Liu Bowen, a clever schemer, a master of astronomy, and a lower knowledge of geography; Zeng Guofan devoted his life to the principle of being patient and annoying in his life, advocating thrift, honesty, and humility as an official. This is the big picture of foresight.
If you want to be a superior person, you have to have a higher vision, a wider mind, and a greater aura than others.
Rat-eyed people, like rats, although they can dig the ground, but they are only the fate of rats crossing the street, and their pattern and fate are only a glimpse.
03
Everything is small: start small.
Ma Yun once said: "Small enterprises must have a big mind, and large enterprises must talk about details." ”
Anything that is done in a rough way will not succeed. The of a thousand miles can be destroyed by ants, which is also a pattern.
Many people think that with lofty ideals and a high position, they can do great things. If the vision is high, but there is no one in sight, and there is no attention to detail, it will also fail.
In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the Song general Hua Yuan, while treating the soldiers, did not give the coachman sheep a share of mutton soup. When the two armies were facing each other, the coachman, enraged, drove the carriage to the opposite army, and the general became a prisoner.
In real life, many big bosses, when interacting with people, even when they see a janitor, they will also smile and shake hands. Only such a boss can win the hearts and minds of the people.
A cabinet needs wooden planks and is also carefully carved to be formed. If the cabinets are shoddily made, they are not exquisite and do not sell for a good price.
"Slow work out of fine work", with a lofty ideal, coupled with a down-to-earth style, the ideal can be realized.
The path you once bypassed will eventually have to be repeated.
04
Eat bitterly, and be a superior person.
No matter how big the pattern is, no matter how serious the work is, if you are not willing to suffer, you are doomed to achieve nothing.
I know an old writer who has published many books and thousands of articles. Talking about writing books, the old writer took out a bunch of drafts: "Look, I haven't published more books than I have published. ”
The sword blade came out of the grinding, and the plum blossom fragrance came from the bitter cold. The unwilling to suffer is like a rusty sword, though of good material, but not shining with cold light; a plum blossom, without experiencing cold snow, will not have a charming aroma.
The helmsman on the water can grasp the direction of the ship, relying on wisdom and relying on the calluses on his hands; the helmsman of fate can return with a full load, relying on the pattern and relying on the scars of life.
Life is like a chess game new.
If you don't plan, you can't win; if you don't pay attention to details, you may be "one wrong step, every step is wrong"; if you don't want to lose a few times, you will never win.
