The Ancients: "I want to become an adult beforehand." ”
Life is two things, being a person and doing things.
A person's best way to live should be: low-key people, high-profile work.
Low-key people, you will be more stable than once; high-profile work, you will be better than once.
01
Keep a low profile
Someone said, "The more virtuous a person is, the more low-key he is." ”
Indeed, we find that the more high-ranking and virtuous people are, whether they are in the world or as human beings, they are extremely modest and cautious, and low-key is the best attitude for them to deal with the world.
The Three Kingdoms counselor Jia Xu was such a person. Jia Xu is not only very strategic militarily, he is also very restrained in his dealings with the world.
After he defected to Cao Cao, he became his adviser, but found that Cao Cao was very suspicious, so when he was around Cao Cao, Jia Xu generally did not take the initiative to give advice.
Even if Cao Cao asked, Jia Xu would try to answer euphemistically according to Cao Cao's question and the stakes involved. In addition to the time of the dynasty, Jia Xu mostly closed the door and stayed at home to recuperate.
In addition, Jia Xu also restrained his family and forbade them to talk nonsense outside. Even the marriage of his own children did not marry among the powerful in accordance with the custom of the time.
It was Jia Xu's low-key style of dealing with the world that not only allowed him to escape Cao Cao's suspicions, but also to avoid Cao Pi's suspicions, and in that chaotic world of disturbances, he finally died at the age of seventy-seven.
In the "Vegetable Root Tan", it is said: "Therefore, a gentleman must be smart and talented, and only then can he have the strength to shoulder the burden." ”
No matter how much intelligence a person has, he must also be like a rice ear, who knows how to bow his head and restrain his sharp edge.
In this way, you can not only save yourself, but also secretly store strength and eventually go to the heights of life.
And if a person is too arrogant, does his own thing, and is too ostentatious, it is easy to attract people's envy and lead to a bad ending.
Truly intelligent people understand that being a low-key person is a kind of strategy, and it is also a kind of wisdom of being a person.
02
Do things in a high profile
Lü Kun, a famous scholar of the Ming Dynasty, said in "Groaning Language": "Clearly recognize your own affairs, just take responsibility, and go straight ahead." ”
A person must have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, but also have the courage to strengthen his beliefs and move forward bravely.
During the reign of Emperor Xiaozhuang of Northern Wei, emperor Yuanhao, the prince of Beihai, defected to Southern Liang, and with the help of Southern Liang, went all the way north, like a bamboo, straight to Luoyang, and all the states and counties along the way submitted to The King of Beihai.
When he arrived in Qi Prefecture, the King of Beihai also wanted Qi Prefecture to assassinate Shi Yuanxin to submit to him, so he sent emissaries to Qi Prefecture to negotiate.
Yuan Xin, who had no master of the six gods, summoned his subordinate officials to consult and wanted everyone to come up with a specific method, but at this critical juncture, no one present dared to speak, for fear that if they were not careful, they would bring disaster.
Only Cui Guangshao stood up and said loudly: "The King of Beihai, Yuanhao, is controlled by Southern Liang to attack his own country, which is a great rebellion." We are officials in the imperial court, and we should accept the favor of the court and should defend the country. ”
The people present, after hearing Cui Guangshao's words, all agreed, so Yuan Xin decisively killed the emissary, and Cui Guangshao also asked himself to be the vanguard of the army, marching forward along the way, and defeating the rebels one after another.
In the end, Emperor Xiaozhuang also knew Cui Guangshao and promoted him from a soldier to a general.
Cui Guangshao is in the face of national difficulties, and his decisive and high-profile performance is really admired by the world.
There is also a sentence in the "Groaning Language": "This heart has the true knowledge that cannot be obscured, and the fixed view that cannot be forced, although the tongue can be broken, it must not be promised by others." ”
Each of us has our own balance in our hearts, and we also have an unchangeable vision. In the process of doing things, we must have the courage to express our own ideas and stick to our own ideas.
Doing things in a high profile can not only make your voice heard by more people, but also show your knowledge and skills and gain everyone's recognition.
On the contrary, if a person is always silent and cowers in everything, even if you have great talent, it is difficult to be seen, and eventually everyone is lost.
Wise people understand that doing things in a high profile is a demonstration of their ability and an attitude towards things.
Write at the end
Ma Yunsheng, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Shandong Dongbo Holding Group, once said:
"Why are some well-known college students with relatively high academic qualifications slow to progress in society after graduation?" Because he was excellent before, after entering the society, he was stuck in his own way and was not humble, and it was difficult to become outstanding; on the contrary, students with low education and thinking that they were not excellent secretly took the initiative to learn, but became excellent. ”
The two different attitudes of students reflect a person's posture and persistence in dealing with the world. And low-key people, high-profile work is the best attitude for a person to live.
Chairman Ma Yunsheng introduced this attitude of life into the corporate culture of Jingbo Holdings, saying:
"We must learn to let go in terms of interests, and we must learn to fight in doing things." You must keep a low profile and regard yourself and the present as the worst. Do things with a high profile, adhere to the main views and goals, and must take positive actions. ”
When you learn to bow your head and be a person, you will see higher and farther, and walk more steadily than once;
When you learn to do things with your head held high, you are more visible and better than ever.
