Lin Qingxuan said:
"The egret stands on the snow, the fool looks at the heron, the wise man looks at the snow, and the wise man sees the white."
The egret stands on the snow, the fool only pays attention to the egret, the wise man looks at the vast white snow, and the man with great wisdom leaves only a white land.
The same scenery, people with different moods and levels, see different things, this is the pattern.
Pattern is a person's vision, courage and mentality to see everything in the world.
People, if the pattern is high, everything will be very smooth, it is easy to live a life of opening and hanging;
If there is no pattern, it is difficult to achieve great things, and it is difficult to go smoothly in life.
People have no pattern, which is more terrible than no money!
There is a saying on the Internet:
"The pattern is limited, life is limited."
Indeed it is.
His cousin Chen Liang worked in a state-owned company for ten years, and the people who entered the company with him were all promoted and raised, only he was still standing still, and his position had not changed.
The cousin's monthly salary is fixed at 5,000 yuan, and he is responsible for the expenses of an old and small family, usually shrinking his clothes and food, or he can't make ends meet.
My cousin's only hobby is watching movies, but if you want to watch a movie, you have to think about it for a long time, not to mention travel, study and other consumption.
Life is poor, and I have developed the problem of loving to take advantage.
Travel expenses, spent 120 yuan, reimbursement of 150 yuan; social meal money, but also to do their best to reimburse one or two hundred yuan;
Even the small birthday gifts bought for his wife were reimbursed by the company with other famous names...
These small actions made the manager find that it was not easy to raise his family, did not investigate deeply, but also had a grudge, and many promotion opportunities automatically ignored him.
A person who loves to be greedy and cheap will naturally not be reused, and after ten years of work, he is still a small clerk.
The cousin's problem is actually in the small pattern.
The pattern is small, and it can't churn out the river and the sea.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shao, who had the most powerful achievements in hegemony, ended with hatred.
He was short-sighted and did not accept the proposal to welcome Emperor Xian of Han to Yecheng, which resulted in Cao Cao taking a step ahead.
In terms of doing things, Yuan Shao is even more indecisive.
Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei, the rear was empty, and the opportunity was rare, but he did not send troops on the grounds that his son was ill, and missed the best opportunity to defeat Cao Cao;
His nepotism led to a frequent flow of talents to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao sang all the way.
Yuan Shao, who held a good hand of cards, lost to Cao Cao and vomited blood and died because of the small pattern.
Confucius Ziyun: "Gentlemen are not instruments." ”
Being a human being cannot be like an artifact, limited to one's own qi volume and pattern.
People who are too small in the pattern are mostly blind, narrow-minded, and like to calculate small profits, and the result is often to pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons.
Obsessed with trivial matters all day long, unable to focus on the really important life propositions, and unable to get rid of the fate of the "frog at the bottom of the well".
The pattern is too small to achieve great things.
Foxconn founder Terry Gou said:
"Pattern, layout, footwork. How big the heart is, how big the stage is. ”
Those with a large pattern, such as the peak of the clouds, stand tall, see far, have insight into opportunities in everything, and are easy to succeed.
In "Qiao Family Compound", one of the secrets of success lies in his large pattern.
In 1838, after Qiao Zhiyong took over the family mess from his brother, he began to innovate drastically.
After the implementation of the employee stock ownership plan, after a period of time, the enthusiasm of new and old employees increased, and they all regarded the Qiao family business as their own business.
Joe's business began to come back to life.
Realizing that the coins could not circulate, Qiao Zhiyong began to lay out.
Two ticket numbers have been opened successively, Dadetong and Dadefeng, allowing merchants to realize the dream of taking foreign exchange in different places.
Soon, his "Qiao Group" ticketing services blossomed all over the country, and the strength of QiaoJia's capital increased greatly, ranking among the forefront of the country.
The business has become bigger, and Qiao Zhiyong, who has a sense of home and country, does not forget to serve the country.
When Zuo Zongtang regained Xinjiang, he needed a large amount of military pay, so he raised millions of silver to fund it;
Li Hongzhang formed the Beiyang Military Division, and he took the lead in donating 100,000 taels of silver and sponsoring a warship;
Many places encountered drought, he built a tent to boil porridge, relief for the victims...
His charity earned him a good reputation, and also bought him a bigger business, becoming a rich and invincible Leader of jin merchants.
Qiao Zhiyong's success is not an empty wind, but a big pattern behind him.
The neighbor Lao Wan, who sells sugar and fried chestnuts, rented a storefront in the most prosperous part of the city at the beginning.
Knowing that he has no advantage in price, he works quality.
The best chestnuts to choose are the best Huairou oil chestnuts, never adulterated with poor quality; syrup and sand must be exclusively sent, and cyclamate and industrial paraffin wax are never used.
Gradually, more and more repeat customers, small businesses became bigger and bigger, and within a few years, several branches were opened, and the business was booming.
The old man has the current situation because he has a big pattern and a long-term view, rather than a matter of investigation.
A church associate writes:
"The sea is a hundred rivers, there is tolerance is great; the wall stands a thousand, and the desireless is just."
There should be a big pattern when being a person.
Only when the pattern is broadened, will there be a superhuman vision, put the current things in the long run, and do not care about small things.
People with a large pattern seem to have taken a detour, but they can reach success one step earlier.
Being a big pattern, the heart is naturally open, the emotions are naturally peaceful, even if you are in prison, you can also rush out of adversity and usher in the dawn.
The pattern is bigger, and the road of life can go farther and farther, and the more smooth it is.
There is a problem in Zhihu:
"What causes the gap between people?"
One of the high-praise replies was: "The size of the pattern is different." ”
Different patterns, life is different.
Lei Jun and his colleagues worked together in Jinshan for many years, and there was no breakthrough in their work.
In 2009, they all felt the rapid development of the Internet.
Colleagues have passed middle age, feel that now there are old and young, should work safely and steadily, do not want to have any more tossing, do not want to put pressure on themselves.
He chose to take the iron rice bowl safely and steadily.
Lei Jun is also over 40 years old, but he still wants to fight hard and thinks that the opportunity has come.
Determined to use the Internet to make mobile phones, he founded the "Xiaomi" company.
A few years later, Xiaomi became the leading brand in China, and Lei Jun's worth has now reached 24.5 billion US dollars.
And the colleague who chose to take the iron rice bowl is still a small employee in Jinshan.
Lei Jun and his colleagues, two kinds of people with different mentalities and different patterns, see different things and achieve different lives when facing the same entrepreneurial opportunities.
Looking back at the past, Sima Yi and Yang Xiu of "Sima Yi of the Great Army Division" also staged a good play with different fates due to different patterns.
In the face of Cao Cao's tests one after another, Sima Yi was calm, stoic and low-key, and far-sighted everywhere;
Yang Xiu was always clever and exposed, eager for success, and repeatedly violated Cao Cao's taboo.
As a result, the two had very different fates.
Sima Yi became the biggest winner of the Three Kingdoms period and founded the Jin Dynasty, while Yang Xiu was executed by Cao Cao early.
The same staff, a few years later, the gap is so large, this is the different endings created by different patterns.
There is a saying:
"Attitude determines height, height determines vision, vision determines pattern, pattern determines outcome."
People who only bury their heads and walk, but do not look up at the sky, will inadvertently go in the wrong direction and cannot reach the top of Mount Tai;
Only when there are hills and ravines in the chest can we have the perseverance to climb to the top of Mount Tai and see the magnificent scene of the clouds steaming and the xiawei.
What determines the difference in life is the size of the vision and the level of the realm.
Only by improving the pattern can we push open the door to success.
There is a sentence often read in the book:
"One flower, one world, one leaf, one bodhi."
Faced with the same thing, different people will have different conclusions.
In the same way, a person's pattern is different, the action is different, and the results obtained are naturally different.
People without patterns, shallow vision, unmotivated, fear of the unknown road ahead.
Often entangled in some trivial things, a lifetime of deep mud, where there is no day to emerge.
People with a high pattern will continue to learn and explore, even if they are poor and white at the moment, they can get out of the trough of life and wait for the moment when the willow is dark and bright.
To borrow a phrase from A Song of Ice and Fire, Tyrion said:
"People with patterns can have a thousand kinds of lives."
May we all open our hearts, open our horizons, and live a different and wonderful life.
