People often say that those who do great things must have a big pattern, and to establish a big pattern, they must have a big mind.
So, how can a person have a big heart? Quite simply, understand this proverb in the "Left Biography" and learn to be a person with a heart.
"Thirty-three Years of Zuo Chuan And Gong Gong" says: "What is the crime of the doctor? And I will not hide my great virtue with a glimpse. ”
Among them, not to hide the great virtue with a glimpse means that a person's past merits cannot be erased because he has individual mistakes or faults, that is to say, the person who has committed the fault should be treated objectively and fairly.
There is a similar expression in the Book of Rites and Confessions: "Flaws do not hide Yu, and Yu does not hide flaws." "The flaws on the jade cannot hide the brilliance of the jade, and the brilliance of the jade makes it impossible to ignore the flaws on the jade." Metaphorical shortcomings cannot hide the advantages, the advantages are more than the disadvantages.
Just as the so-called "people are not sages and sages can be blameless", it is normal for talents to have all kinds of faults, shortcomings, and defects, and the key is not to completely negate them and erase their merits and advantages because they have some unsatisfactory places.
We must not be beaten to death because they have made some mistakes, but must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and their mistakes and shortcomings should be analyzed in an analytical manner, such as their size, nature, causes, advantages and disadvantages, gains and losses, and so on, and they should be guided and corrected in a timely manner.
As long as it is beneficial to the country, the people, and the work, it is worth promoting and reusing.
For example, recently a city has to carry out large-scale demolition of the city because of the need for large-scale upgrading. This is obviously a "risky" project, and improper employment will cause fierce conflicts with the people, and even bloody casualties. Therefore, the superior leader decided to change to a person suitable for this big "risk" project.
At this time, after being recommended, two candidates appeared: one was Liu Mou, who was gentle and sleek, did not have any temper, and generally did not have any major problems in handling things.
The other candidate is Zhang Mou, who is tough and straight, has a fiery temper, and has also had a festival with people, but the officer is bold and bold, and he is more courageous.
It can be said that the two have their own strengths and weaknesses, as a leader, which one should be chosen to entrust the heavy responsibility? After weighing the pros and cons, the leader finally chose Zhang.
As soon as he took office, the project that had dragged on for several years began immediately, gradually advancing according to the time node, breaking through the difficulties and smoothly completing the demolition project.
It can be seen from this that leaders and employees should tolerate their shortcomings and attach importance to their moral character and ability to do practical things.
"Not hiding great virtue with a glimpse" also means that for the shortcomings or faults of others, we must distinguish between the primary and secondary, and we must not be entangled in small mistakes and because of some unconscious faults of others.
King Zhuang of Chu, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, once left such an anecdotal allusion - the feast of absolute wisps.
It is said that after a rebellion was put down, the king of Chuzhuang set up a banquet to treat the courtiers, and the concubines of the favored concubines also attended one by one.
The celebration lasted until dusk, and seeing that the light was dim, the king of Chuzhuang ordered people to light candles, continue the night feast, and send his favorite Xu Ji and Mai Ji to take turns toasting to the courtiers.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew out the candles, and in the confusion someone grabbed Xu Ji's sleeve. Xu Ji ripped off the man's hat in his hand.
Xu Ji returned to King Chu Zhuang and complained: "Great King, someone just grabbed my clothes, I ripped off his hat, quickly lit the candle, we want to arrest him and ask for guilt." ”
King Zhuang of Chu did not listen to Xu Ji's advice, but in the darkness first ordered the courtiers to take off their hats, and then light the candles, and the courtiers continued to drink and return home with pleasure.
After three years, the Jin state and the Chu state went to war, and a general of the Chu state desperately killed the enemy and defeated the Jin army. Afterwards, when King Zhuang of Chu asked, he learned that the general was the one who had taken advantage of the chaos at the banquet before. The reason why he fought bravely was to repay the king of Chu Zhuang for his unenthuring grace.
The Feast of Absolute Bread tells us that it is precisely because King Chu Zhuang is lenient and open-minded that he can finally win the hearts of the people.
In employing talents, we must "not hide our great virtue with a glimpse of it", cherish talents, love their advantages, and also love their shortcomings; reform and self-renewal will become more and more talents who are independent and can achieve great things; after all, "a thousand armies are easy to obtain, and one will be difficult to find." ”
For example, in the workplace, an employee usually performs very well, but once because of a mistake to do a certain project, but he found the error in time, and worked hard to correct it, at this time, as his boss, you can not deny him because he did a wrong thing, think that his work ability is poor, not competent for this work.
In the same way, in life, a student usually has good academic performance, but the final exam is abnormal, teachers and parents can not criticize him because of this accidental factor, and completely deny his performance this semester.
No one is a sage who is blameless, and we must be careful about the faults of others and give others the opportunity to reform themselves. Giving people the opportunity to fulfill others has also achieved their own reputation for being lenient with others.
In short, the proverb of "hiding great virtue with a glimpse of great virtue" warns people: Abandon the shortness of people, use people's strengths, judge things according to everything, and punish those who have committed mistakes as necessary, but we must not kill a boat with a stick, but we must learn to be more tolerant, more forgive, and give people the opportunity to reform themselves.
