Su Shi wrote in "He Ouyang Shaoshi Zhi Shiqi": "Great courage is cowardly, and great wisdom is like foolishness. ”
The true warriors at the end of the day, they appear like particularly cowardly mediocres; the most wise people in this world, most of the time their words and deeds are regarded as "stupid" practices.
These two words spoken by Su Shi are actually particularly dialectical, and there are Taoist ideas in them. Because it is similar to Lao Tzu's words in the Tao Te Ching, "the sound of the great sound, the elephant is invisible."
In this regard, people have questioned for thousands of years, why does all this look like "in reverse"? Shouldn't people who shouldn't be brave be braver, and smart people always be smart?
In fact, nothing in this world can be biased to the extreme. Most of the things that are useful, on the surface, seem useless.
It's like a house, and because it's empty inside, it's able to contain everything. If it is completely filled with reinforced concrete, can the house still be inhabited?
In the same way, the truly brave people in this world will only show bravery at the right time, and they will only show the appearance of ordinary people in ordinary times. Otherwise, what is the point of being so brave in ordinary times?
In this world, people who are superficially incompetent, but in fact, wise and foolish, they often hide these skills and make a splash.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > wise and foolish people have to know how to be patient</h1>
"Zhou Yi" has a saying: "A gentleman hides his instrument in his body and waits for the time to move." ”
Ambitious, talented and practical people, they will not be sharp and aggressive as soon as they appear, but they will first pretend to be mediocre, silently develop in places where others cannot find them, and wait for the opportunity to come.
At that time, King Yue's army was defeated at Huijishan, and even all his belongings were lost, but he did not lose his fighting spirit, but heeded Fan Li's advice, surrendered to Fu Cha, and was willing to be a slave of the State of Wu.
During this humiliating time, he was particularly loyal on the surface, and he took the initiative to pay tribute to the treasures and beauties of the Yue kingdom, but he pretended to be driven by others, pitiful.
It was this kind of person who knew how to be patient, and after a few years, he made a comeback, and three thousand Yue Jia could swallow Wu.
In this world, there is no shortage of talented and ambitious people, only those who know how to be patient and have a long-term vision. Sometimes, the biggest benefit of hidden tolerance is that people can accumulate strength safely and finally make a splash.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > wise and foolish people have a big picture view</h1>
Some people have compared the arrogant and the wise and foolish.
They argue that the former is more like a wild horse that is out of control, completely unrestrained and without any big-picture concept. And the latter, although they are Maxima, they can plan and then move, with a big pattern that no one else has.
In Journey to the West, the wise and foolish person should be a sand monk. He is in a particularly inconspicuous position in the sutra collection team, but his interpersonal relationships are very good, and he can also do "hello and I am good" at critical times.
For example, when fighting a monster, he would definitely not be the first to rush forward, but first look for the master brother and the second master brother. Because he knew that he could not steal the limelight of these two strong men, and with them accompanying him, he would only do a good job and not make mistakes.
It is this concept of overall interests that makes him the person who causes the least trouble and gains the most on the road to learning the scriptures.
In general, people who are wise and foolish will not allow themselves to completely occupy the cake of interests, but give some to those around them, and then take some of them themselves, and have a "big picture view" that others cannot compare.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > wise and foolish people know how to avoid people</h1>
Li Kang said: "Wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." ”
These words actually have two meanings. The most obvious implication is that we can't be people who are too high-profile and show their talents too much. The second meaning is that if someone is sharp, you are involved in it, and you are easily hurt by the outside world and others.
We should not have too much sharpness as human beings, this is an act of self-preservation; under no circumstances, we can get close to the sharp edge of others to avoid being hurt by mistake.
There are many people in life, they are always breathless, see others showing their sharp edges, they want to confront others hard. In the end, they can only end up in a bad end.
Whether or not you can calm down often determines how far this person can go into the future. What people need most is not a momentary impulse, but precisely the wisdom and choice of Mingzhe to protect himself.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="29" > wise and foolish people can easily integrate into different collectives</h1>
Lao Tzu once said, "With its light, with its dust." ”
Where the light shines, we want to merge with the light. Although the world is full of dust and dirt, we still need to commune with it.
That is to say, we do not need to show ourselves too much, but we need to integrate into this mortal world, and at the same time we must maintain our original intention and nature.
Although there is a lot of dirt, I am who I am, and I can never let my original intention be distorted because of changes in the external environment.
In the workplace, many wise and foolish people, although they are not accustomed to the behavior of certain circles, this does not affect their ability to cooperate with people in the circle. Moreover, they seem to be particularly good with them, but in fact they still maintain their inner authenticity.
This is a kind of wisdom in dealing with things. Despite all this in our hearts, we still cannot become the head bird targeted and excluded by others, but "the outer circle and the inner square, the inner saint and the outer king", virtue and wisdom coexist, and the handling and behavior coexist.
Great wisdom is foolish, not as simple as choosing superficial stupidity, this is a kind of "square circle" wisdom that cultivates both inside and outside.
