Walk with good people and you'll go further. Working with reliable people will do more with less; with people who understand you, you will live up to this life.
In the new year, let yourself try to get close to these two people, borrow their strength, and make yourself more excellent.
01
Be friends with people who are good at waiting, and don't be bothered by quick success.
Balzac said: "People who are good at waiting, everything will come in time." ”
In a person's life, many times you need to wait: wait for yourself to grow up, wait for the approval of friends, wait for the success of one thing... When a person persistently waits for what he wants to wait for, then waiting will eventually make all illusions come true.
When we were young, we learned a post-break phrase: Jiang Taigong fishing - willing to take the bait. For Jiang Shang in the sentence, everyone admired it.
Legend has it that Jiang Shang was knowledgeable and used to do things for the King of Shang, but the King of Shang had lost the king's way, and Jiang Shang left disappointed. Hearing that King Ji Chang of Zhou had taken advantage of the talent to rule the country and rejuvenate the country, he came to the Western Zhou territory on the shore of the Weishui River and fished by the water every day from morning to night, waiting for the opportunity to go out of the mountain.
Finally, one day, King Jichang of Zhou Wen went out hunting and met Jiang Shang, who had white hair, on the north bank of the Wei River. During the conversation, Ji Chang was impressed by Jiang Shang's erudition and wisdom, so he personally helped Jiang Shang to the car and took him back to the palace to worship as a master, from then on, Jiang Shang had a place to play, and the Zhou Dynasty also prospered.
From ordinary people to important ministers of the state, Jiang Shang experienced various setbacks in half a life and did not encounter in choosing a lord, but he was not impatient, did not abandon or give up, knew how to wait for the opportunity, and finally met the Ming Jun and revitalized the Zhou Dynasty.
Jiang Shang was later crowned monarch of the State of Qi, laying the foundation for the later Duke Huan of Qi to become the "Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons" and becoming the brightest star among the ancient princes.
As a workplace worker, almost all of them have experienced the first half of Jiang Shang's life: either subject to bullying colleagues, or suppressed by talentless and unscrupulous "villains", or the work unit is on the verge of bankruptcy and has no future. Among them, any one thing taken out is enough to become a huge obstacle to a person's way forward.
Some people break the jar and break it, but some people know how to sharpen themselves in adversity, put aside all distractions, focus on doing things well, enhance their skills, accumulate thick and thin, so as to seize the opportunities that others cannot seize, and realize the jaw-dropping turn of others.
Being friends with people who are good at waiting will unconsciously calm down and do things with a calm heart. With the accumulation of years of tempering, you can become an expert and produce a calm, mature and stable temperament. When a person has a light that cannot be hidden, and naturally becomes a "focal point" person, success is a matter of course.

Make friends with loyal and virtuous people in order to maintain the pattern of living in the world.
Zeng Zi always reminded himself of three things: one is to be loyal to others, the other is to be trustworthy in dealing with friends, and the third is to be familiar with the academics taught or imparted.
In the journey of life, people are most afraid and most hated by deception and betrayal, whether it is strangers or the closest people. The feeling of being deceived is always filled with resentment and cannot help itself. The most disturbing thing is that there is a "pig-like" teammate, who is not enough to achieve more than one thing, and will also be implicated and lose everything.
Therefore, we must not only remind ourselves at all times, we must be loyal and trustworthy in our work, and our business must be exquisite. It is even more necessary to consciously make friends with loyal and virtuous people.
After the death of King Wu of Zhou, the young Zhou Chengwen succeeded to the throne, and the ill-intentioned ministers in the center of the dynasty were eager to rebel. Ji Dan, who undertook the heavy responsibility of assisting King Cheng, that is, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, resolutely ascended to the throne and ruled on his behalf in order to eliminate this hidden danger.
In order to choose a sage for the Zhou Dynasty, he often "shook his hair three times and fed three times at a time." ”
Zhou Gongdan was a high-powered, diligent worker, but never coveted power, he wholeheartedly assisted King Zhou Cheng, and when Zhou Chengwen grew up and could handle state affairs independently, he returned the power to King Cheng, and he still stood on the position of a courtier to the north, respectfully engaged.
However, those who intended to rebel in the court repeatedly slandered the Duke of Zhou for wanting to usurp power and seize the throne, and they used the reason that the Duke of Zhou had secretly hidden the prayer book, which caused King Zhou Cheng to misjudge and forced the Duke of Zhou to flee.
When King Zhou Cheng opened the prayer book, he found that it was Zhou Gong's prayer to the gods when he was young and sick. Zhou Gong wrote: "King Cheng was young and had no insight, and it was I who offended the gods, and if the gods wanted to punish me, punish me." ”
A piece of sincerity was in sight, and King Cheng burst into tears, and quickly and respectfully welcomed back the Duke of Zhou. After the Return of the Duke of Zhou, he did his best to assist King Cheng, so that Guotai and Min'an could be at peace.
The best friend must be someone who can share hardships and wealth, and must also be someone who has the ability and strength to help you continue to climb.
You can always use him as a backer, as a tip, as a gas station, you can always trust him, and he will never let you down, not to worry that he will be at the bottom of the barrel, causing immeasurable harm and loss to you.
However, such a mentor and friend can be encountered but not sought. Either you have enough luck or you are motivated enough that when you become the one who is becoming more and more outstanding, you may have the key to open the door to luck.
