Carnegie wrote in "The Weakness of Human Nature": "The measure of a person's strength lies in whether he can turn a crisis into an opportunity. It is true that the strong look for opportunities in the crisis, and the weak are afraid in the crisis.
Everyone wants to have a safe trip, but reality tells us that life itself is a battlefield. A truly peaceful person is not without danger, but with wisdom to turn the corner. No matter what happens now, learn to hold yourself steady, and the situation in life will gradually become smooth. In the chaos, keep your feet steady, don't move, don't panic.
There is a saying in Sun Tzu's Art of War: "If you can't win, keep it.
Many people like to fish in troubled waters, thinking that they can benefit from fishermen. In fact, if you don't see the situation clearly, even if you rush out, you will be involved in chaos. It is better to take defense as the attack and stick to what you have until others pinch each other to a certain extent.
When Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, countries such as Wu and Chu rebelled, and Zhou Yafu led the troops in a crusade. At that time, Wu was at war with Liang, and it was very noisy. Zhou Yafu stationed troops in Yang Rong and then stayed put. Liang repeatedly requested support, and Jingdi personally ordered it, but Zhou Yafu ignored it. Zhou Yafu secretly sent people to find out the way of transporting grain in Wu Jun and Chu Jun, and set up many obstacles. After a while, all the soldiers in Wu Chu were hungry and their hearts were scattered. Zhou Yafu sent troops and won a great victory.
The Tao is that fools seek advice and wise men seek advice.
When there is chaos, we should make a good plan, infer the result according to the change of things, and make a good plan. As long as your steps are steady and your direction is correct, then every step is effective and you will naturally find a way out. In life, mind your mouth, don't talk or eat. As the saying goes: "Illness comes from the mouth, and disaster comes from the mouth.
One mouth, either eating or talking. Be cautious about these two things. Eating the wrong thing can cause physical illness; My grandmother once told a story: once upon a time, a rich man's daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, and the sky suddenly became overcast. One of them said that disaster was imminent. The rich are very worried. He prayed to God every day and invited Taoist priests to practice at home.
After months of tossing, I still haven't dispelled my inner concerns. One day, the rich man complained to his friend, "I became rich through hard work." Why did God do this to me? " ? "The friend said," that's not true. At that time, God sent you a timely rain, which was a kindness. Suddenly, the rich man breathed a sigh of relief.
The same thing, different sayings, brings different endings. This shows how important it is to control your mouth. Really smart people, their mouths are fragrant and their mouths are delicious. Life is simple, you can also say a lot of "auspicious" words and enjoy three meals a day. When making money, keep your head steady, don't think too much, and don't be greedy. Everyone wants to get rich, live in a big house and drive a luxury car. But money always keeps us at a distance.
Sometimes, I often feel that the more I pursue money, the more I feel poor. Look at the people around me, all of them have made a fortune, and the money is hard to come by. In some novels and folk stories, I often see some strange stories about getting rich. For example, in Volume 38 of Two Moments of Surprise, there is a thief named Zhi Yi Mei who can get other people's money at any time.
After the government caught him, he bribed the prison interest rate, then slipped out and wrote "a plum" on the wall of a family. This made the prefect think that he had arrested the wrong person. This has produced a series of farce.
Life goes in and out, but we can't get too involved. We should accept the reality, but we should be cautious about any opportunity to make you rich. The invitation to join depends on the situation; Don't pick up pies that fall from the sky. Getting rich through labor is the most reliable thing. When you have a certain economic foundation, you can stick to a simple life and leave your wealth at home. Give up greed and make money with peace of mind; Without it, people can control their spending.
For money, you should use your brain like this: think about ways to make money and exchange wisdom for money; Don't think wrong, don't take things that don't belong to you. At the bottom, keep your heart calm, don't worry, don't be pessimistic.
The Yinfu Sutra says: "The root of the living is the root of the dead. Grace is born of harm, and harm is born of grace. Good things and bad things always happen alternately, just like the two ends of the scale. When you are at the bottom, it means that the other end is above you. You should find a way to balance.
There is a famous saying: "Do not disgrace your mission, just watch bloom's flowers fall in front of the court. Whether to stay or not is unintentional. The real balance is actually the inner balance. In other words, if you adjust your mentality and control your life with wisdom, you can slowly get out of the trough. You know, if you study hard, you can accumulate a lot of money; Let go of your emotions and you will be calm. For example, a person criticized by his boss complains in front of his colleagues. Colleagues say you should resign if you feel wronged.
If you think according to your colleagues' words, life will further sink into a trough. If you have the courage to live a wonderful life and impress your colleagues, it will be different.
To get out of the trough, we must first change our mood, make our mood better and make our life sunny.
"University" has a saying: "If you want to be virtuous in the world, rule your country first; If you want to govern your country, you should first get your family together; If you want to keep your family together, you should trim your body first. It can be seen that prosperity and adversity, seemingly external interference, are actually a person's own realm. No matter how big the society is, it is made up of "people" in the final analysis. Since a person can't change the environment, take the initiative to change yourself. If everyone does this, the environment will change. We often say, "Hang in there, get through it, and you will win. How to insist? "? How to cook? The key is to stabilize yourself, take responsibility in the face of changing adversity, and see the pattern in good times.
