Many of his thoughts on dealing with people are still affecting future generations. Guiguzi said that if a person is smart enough, he will not become close to these people. If we can stay away from these people, we will avoid many disasters, our life will be far away from many troubles, the truth of life will be easy, and the distance to success will be closer and closer.
First, stay away from conceited and jealous people.
If people are proud and conceited, they should always stand up when doing things. Such people should be careful not to associate. This kind of person likes to stand out from the crowd and feels that he is very powerful and others can't compare with him. You often look down on others. If you are more capable than him, he will be jealous of you and even frame you.
Pang Juan, two disciples of Guiguzi, went to Wei and became a general. And Sun Bin went to see him later. He felt that his ability was inferior to that of Sun Bin, so he was jealous and wanted to hurt him. Even after that, Sun Bin was brutally asked to cut off his kneecap. Even after Sun Bin went to Qi State, he avenged himself and killed Pang Juan, but this incident also reminds us to stay away from such little people and avoid getting hurt.
Second, people who like flattery should stay away.
Stay away from people who like flattery or who can please others at ordinary times. Most of these people come to you after seeing the profits. They attach great importance to profits, and in order to get profits, they will even have no principles and bottom line. They will even give up their dignity for profit. Such people should have no self-esteem, let alone be honest with others.
This kind of person is close to you, and it is possible that you are valuable to him. But once your value expires, he will sell you for a profit. If you are down and out at any time, he will definitely press you step by step, and even turn his face and deny people. It is the best protection for such people to stay away as soon as possible and not to associate.
Third, people who have no determination should not associate.
Guiguzi thinks it is not worth associating with people who have poor willpower, will shake their self-confidence because of a little thing, or will be afraid of being threatened. This kind of person is easily tempted by external material, and may even hurt you for profit. If others have better conditions, they will even turn to your competitors.
And if you associate with or cooperate with such people, it is easy to have an accident because of poor willpower and doing things from side to side. Even at the critical moment, he will leave you to clean up the mess. You can't achieve great things with such a person. Cut off contact as soon as possible, and breaking away from the relationship is king.
Fourth, stay away from people who don't distinguish between public and private.
Guiguzi said that there are some people around us, regardless of public or private. Such people have an obvious feature, like to abuse their rights and even use some relationships. If this kind of person doesn't agree with you, it's easy to give you mischief or even frame you at work.
The bottom line of such people is very low, and they even have no public morality. It is difficult to have a good result by having an affair with such a person. If you meet such people around you or in your life, if you are smart enough, then stay away as soon as possible.
5. People who like sensibility are not worth associating with.
Guiguzi thinks emotional things are unreliable and always does something impulsive. This kind of person attaches great importance to feelings and is kind, so it is ok to get along in life. But you can't do anything, or you can't entrust an important task in your work. When you do things, you will be reluctant, timid and entangled.
If there will be such people in the workplace, you should pay attention to stay away. Because we all know that public and private affairs should be clearly distinguished, and work and feelings should not be confused. If you confuse feelings at work, it's easy to screw things up. A person who is rational and smart enough will not get too close to such a person and will easily cause trouble.
Summary: The above are five kinds of people who are not suitable for communication. If you are a smart person, if you have these five kinds of people around you, remember to stay away. Seeing that these people are not close friends, then you will cause less trouble, and you will also be able to reduce the troubles in your life, and your work will be smoother and the road of life will be smoother!
