Confucius said:
"Dwelling with good people, like the room of Zhilan; and unkind to live inhabited, such as into the abalone, and after a long time, it stinks. ”
People are sometimes a product of the environment in the final analysis, it is difficult for a person to change the environment, and often the fate of the self is engulfed by the surrounding environment.
What kind of people you come into contact with, what kind of circle you are in, you will gradually have a tendency to assimilate, and over time, things will gather like and people will be divided into groups.
Everyone will have their own circle, different circles have a fixed and internal content, those things in the circle, there will rarely be many new things and meals, and slowly there will be no nutrition.
Any kind of so-called circle, in fact, has a common language system, all have similar value judgments, a person has lived in such a circle for a long time, facing similar people, coming into contact with similar things, self-awareness also wants to have a high level, it is often a difficult thing.
People always like to huddle together for warmth, and unfortunate people are always easy to hug and cry when they encounter unfortunate people, because they have a common experience and emotional resonance, go to joys and sorrows together, and go to internal friction together, and rarely promote each other's growth.
As the old saying goes:
"A gentleman is not a weapon."
A person must have the ability to learn and focus in order to better overlook this rapidly changing world.
Powerful people have the idea of "escaping" from the circle.

Zhuangzi, an old man, told us a story of admiration.
As the tide rose and the torrential rain continued to accumulate, the lake began to widen, so Hebona was a pride, and when he decided to go to the sea to compare the heights, he was able to realize his shallowness and narrowness, so he had to look at the ocean and sigh.
In this world, there are no surprises and everywhere, and a person's cognition is often one-sided, so it is easier to exacerbate the risks in life.
In fact, each of us has been blind people touching elephants for many times in this life, and we have our own ends.
When you live in a certain circle for a long time, just like a blind man touching an elephant, touching the elephant's ear, you think that the world is only so big, and you can rest assured that the territory occupied by the elephant's ear is your stable place.
Life has an end, and knowledge has no end, and chasing without end with an end is doomed.
How can the complex world be just a circle, there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, and a mountain is higher than a mountain.
I used to think that the earth was the center of this world, but I never knew that it was just an insignificant point in the solar system, and the solar system was a point worth mentioning in the entire galaxy, and beyond the galaxy, there would be endless galaxies.
When a person feels that as long as he understands the whole earth, he will naturally understand the whole world, then he is beyond his ability.
Sometimes, listen more to things outside the circle, know more different people, and see different things, so that you can have the essence of upward growth.
03
A person may often be shallow, and often only think in his heart that as long as the things that belong to him are arranged safely, there will be no more risks in this world.
Disasters often accumulate in the slightest, and any kind of risk and accident is often the right time to catch your loopholes, so that you can be defeated in such an instant.
Living in the same circle for a long time is destined to be a closed way.
Ignoring what is going on outside the window and concentrating on reading only the books of the sages may be a good enough way to put it in a closed world before, but it also means that it is a huge real risk now.
Zhu Xi said:
"Ask how the canal is as clear as it is? Only the source of living water comes. ”
Lu You is also telling us such a truth:
"It's shallow on paper, and I never know that I have to do it."
Being in the same circle for a long time, it is difficult for a person's cognition to have a profound improvement, it is difficult for you to get better advice to improve yourself, and it is difficult for you to harvest any unexpected surprises and growth, because you are all the same kind of people, sharing each other at the same frequency, talking about the same topic, talking about the same thing, and it is destined to be difficult to discuss a little outside the circle.
04
In life, I have come into contact with many teachers and friends, and perhaps on the road of professional learning, your evaluation of him is second to none.
However, once it is extended to the level of the whole society, you may also sincerely feel that their single experience may be one-sided.
I have been around me one after another to encounter the risk of some teachers and friends being defrauded, and in the relatively simple circle, they rarely think that there are many dark sides in this society.
Invisibly, in contrast, if you look at many friends in the public security department, their social experience is so comprehensive, and their social coverage is extensive, so that they are exposed to a large amount of rich and different information, and in such a vivid and vivid practice, they are constantly arming their minds with the most advanced theories and experiences in order to keep pace with the times.
Sometimes in this society, it is a kind of poor cognition, a kind of poor information, when there are many loopholes in your body, the risk is the easiest to nail on you.
05
Perhaps the most terrible thing in life is that a person is always holding on to the incomplete, always holding on to what he thinks he knows, to fight against this rapidly changing world.
You look at the really powerful bigwigs, they rarely do not seek progress in the same circle, but continue to change their tricks to integrate into more circles, in politics, business, investment, management, almost all will slowly get involved, the more they know about the world, how iron buckets they will have.
Circles often solidify a person's thinking, bind the boundaries of your cognition, and make it difficult for you to grow up well enough.
Sometimes the circle is easy to bring us in the end, it is often jealousy, arrogance, desire, complaining, unwillingness, complacency, comparison, depression, and helplessness.
Just like when you see Ma Yun, you will also be surprised that a person who is an authentic businessman sometimes wants to involve everything in everything, even if he is not good at the film industry, he also wants to join in the fun, so he called on a group of martial arts people to make his own movie.
The things that can really make people grow must be exposed to different things, hear different ideas, study different technologies, and involve different fields.
As the saying goes, in the midst of thousands of flowers, the Buddha left in his heart.
A person must always be vigilant to himself, whether you have been slowly assimilated in the same circle before you have reacted, because those things in the circle are the whole world.
People who have been in the circle for a long time are often collectively unconscious, regardless of fragrance and smell, good or bad, and it is easy to lose the ability to judge.
Being in a circle for a long time makes it easy for you to know a little about the world, and it is also the easiest to not keep up with the pace of the times.
The world is destined to be constantly changing, and only the ability of a person to adapt can better respond to the world.
In "The Distant Savior", Xiao Yawen said:
"Knowing this person is opening a window, you can see different things, hear different sounds, make you think, you can be enlightened, and that's enough. There are many others, such as opportunities, help, I'm not sure. This may not seem important to the average person, but I know that this person is important. ”
If all you hear about is the trivial things of the parents, and you are often exposed to trivial tricks, then you need to be vigilant enough, this may be a constraint rather than a growth.
Powerful people have the idea of "escaping" from the circle.
