Zeng Guofan said, "Even if it is a good medicine, if it is not for the disease, the effect is not as good as that of ordinary medicine; although he is a virtuous person, but what he does is not suitable for his specialty, then it is better to find an ordinary person to do it." Tough wooden beams can break through strong gates, but they can't be used to plug rat holes. Strong buffaloes can't catch mice, and horses that travel thousands of miles a day can't guard their homes. A sword worth a thousand gold is not as good as an axe for chopping wood. Baoding, which has been handed down for generations, is used to reclaim wasteland, which is not as good as ordinary wooden plows. As long as it is in line with the situation at the time, ordinary things will also produce magical effects. Otherwise, you won't be able to recognize the characteristics of the hoe and sword, and you will be messed up with anything. Therefore, the world is not worried about the lack of talent, but is worried about the lack of talent in the use of talent. ”
Many people admire Zeng Guofan, the author read Zeng Guofan's biography and some family letters, I have to say that Zeng Gong is indeed a brave and resourceful person, able to endure and strong, but also a master of seeing the wind and making the rudder, his knowledge of people, beyond the past and the present. His "Ting Jing" is more worth reading, and some of the principles of strategy cannot but be said to be of high wisdom, and it is also very useful to study today. In particular, I saw that Zeng publicly talked about the principle of using people and things only by quantity, how shallow and profound, and it is also very valuable and educational today.
Indeed, "tough wooden beams can break through strong gates, but they cannot be used to plug rat holes." Strong buffaloes can't catch mice, and horses that travel thousands of miles a day can't guard their homes. But there are a lot of profound truths hidden in these words, which are worth reading and learning from each of us, we must not only look at the shortcomings, but also need to know people well, use their strengths, know people and things, and don't overdo it. In life, don't "use a sword worth a thousand gold to chop wood", using this sword to chop wood is really not as good as an axe. Baoding, which has been handed down for generations, is used to reclaim wasteland, and it is really not as good as an ordinary wooden plow. Therefore, people must learn to position themselves at different stages and at different times. Life is not easy, let us polish our eyes, but also moderate self-restraint, use the little wisdom we have in the place where it should be used, don't let our youth be wasted, don't let our life be wasted, but strive to make our life shine......
Saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, summing up the millions of roads in the past life, there are nothing more than the wise and the foolish who walk on the road, that is to say, the winners and the losers. Of course, there are mediocre and inactive people in between, that is, they do not succeed or fail. But the road to success - only by always maintaining diligence and steadfastness, persistence, tenacity, firmness, and a budding strong heart, can we have a happy tomorrow.
Venerable Hongyi said: No matter how high the culture is, it is no more than kindness, no matter how beautiful the appearance is, it is no more beautiful than conscience, and no matter how good the talent is, it is not as good as morality.
Being a man seems complicated but is actually very simple, if you are good to me, I will be better to you, people's hearts change people's hearts, kindness does not mean stupidity, kindness does not mean stupidity. Virtue carries blessings, virtue carries things, and I believe that God rewards diligence.
