Some people say that they can't put down their faces, so they don't have money. But is face that important?
Li Ka-shing said: "When you put down your face to make money, it means that you have understood things; when you use your face to earn back money, it means that you have succeeded; when you can make money with face, it means that you are already a character; and when you have been staying there drinking, bragging, sleeping lazily, not understanding anything, pretending to understand, and only loving the so-called face, it means that this life is like this." ”
It can be seen that the face is earned by oneself, not imagined.
01
Whether face is worth it or not, how much is it worth
Face, at some point, is worthless. Some people think that doing this is the price, and doing that is also the price.
In fact, there is no distinction between noble and lowly occupations. Only when there is no money, there is really no face.
Making money is a straightforward problem that everyone must face. Without money, troubles come, and even survival becomes a problem.
Yu Hongmin said: "When people are lonely, they go to make money, and those who can't catch up with their favorites are also engaged in money, and they still go to make money without a sense of security." When you are full and idle, empty and anxious or bored, go to make money. For ordinary people, the biggest thing is to make money, and the vast majority of people's troubles are because they have no money. The vast majority of happiness is because of spending money. When you have money, the enemy will applaud you, and the beautiful woman will throw herself at you. Outsiders will confess to you, and opponents will worship you. ...... Life is not about money, but the life you want needs money. Without money once, you really understand that many times without money, you have no bottom. No decision-making power. We are no longer children who can snuggle up in front of our parents and play tricks. You only have to make your pockets bulge a little more, and you'll feel a little more secure. ”
In a way, money is the basis for settling down and establishing a life. With money, you have confidence, with money you have nothing to fear, with money, you can buy full face.

Everyone who becomes a big person understands that only by putting down his face can he have face
Corporal Cao Cao treats talented people with courtesy and never puts up a high shelf.
Once, a strategist brought in a handsome young man named Guo Jia. Cao Cao warmly received Guo Jia.
Cao Cao asked Guo Jia, "I heard that you just came from Yuan Shao, and I heard that he recruited a lot of talented people. ”
Guo Jia said: "Yuan Shao first talked about the mendi and seniority to those who defected to him. The ones who are reused are his relatives, or some people with brains, people like me, who come from humble backgrounds and will not be reused. So I won't go to him again. ”
Cao Cao then talked to the young man about state affairs. Cao Cao was captivated by Guo Jia's incisive assertion and unique view of unifying the world. Guo Jia was then promoted to Sikong Sacrifice Wine.
This promotion and appointment immediately caused an uproar among the officials who came from the scholar's background, who believed that Guo Jia was a nameless rat who was not worthy of such heavy use, and also lost the face of the scholar.
One person also came to sue Guo Jia for blackness, saying that Guo Jia had a problem with his character.
Cao Cao asked the man to produce evidence. The man couldn't take it out, and Cao Cao angrily rebuked, "No evidence is slander!" ”
Since then, Cao Cao has taken Guo Jia with him and often sat at the same table. Soldiers and horses go by.
Guo Jia followed Cao Cao for 11 years and played a decisive role in several major battles in which Cao Cao unified the north. Later, Guo Jia unfortunately died of illness, and Cao Cao was devastated, and he sighed for a long time: "It's a pity! ”
In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was defeated miserably, and he looked at the defeated soldiers and missed Guo Jia even more, and he cried bitterly: "If Guo Jia was here, this battle would not have been so miserable." ”
Therefore, he spread out the manuscript paper, worked hard to write a book, and wrote the "Order for Meritocracy".
In his quest for merit, he asked local officials, especially those who were brilliant in cloth and short coats. Talent cannot be buried in the private sector.
Later, when Cao Cao was 63 years old, he issued another order, "Order on The Conduct of The Virtuous and the Virtuous.". Officials are asked not to be too attached to subsections when raising meritocracy. As long as people have the art of governing the country and using soldiers, they should not be omitted, and they must be recommended.
Cao Cao's thirsty attitude of seeking talents and being willing to lay down his hand for talents made the State of Wei the most powerful of the Three Kingdoms. He also achieved his own career.
Some people always emphasize their so-called dignity. For this reason, they often argue over their own face. In fact, people's face is not earned, but obtained by their own true ability. For the sake of face, many times, we must first put down our face.
