The deeper the water, the slower the flow; the more noble the person, the slower the speech. Those who achieve great things must remain calm.

I dare not say that I am well-read, but at least I have a little chest. I dare not say that I have read countless people, but I at least know something about human nature.

I have seen too many dignitaries and too many ruffians. Comparison shows superiority, words and deeds show character.

Those who are furious and furious when something happens must be ordinary people. Those who are calm and calm when things happen are definitely not ordinary people.

Li Shutong, a master of his generation, has made outstanding achievements in all aspects. When he taught at Zhejiang Normal University, three things showed his mastery.

During a music class, a student was reading a book. He did not point it out until the get out of class was over and the other students had left. He just stopped the classmate and reminded him to pay attention to the lecture next time and not read other books. After saying that, he bowed deeply, feeling ashamed for this life.

The second time, also during class, he found a classmate spitting on the floor while he was not paying attention. After class, he also reminded him in a calm tone not to spit on the floor next time, and then bowed deeply, making him feel ashamed of himself.

The third time, at the end of class, a classmate accidentally closed the door hard and loudly when he went out for the last time. So, he said kindly, close the door more gently in the future. Then he bowed deeply, which moved him deeply. Wherever there are people, there is a door, so closing the door softly shows respect for others.

On the eve of Lincoln's campaign for president, he was humiliated by a senator when he was speaking in the Senate. The senator said: "Mr. Lincoln, before you start your speech, I hope you remember that you are the son of a shoemaker."

"I am very grateful to you for reminding me of my father. He has passed away. I will definitely remember your advice. I know I will. The president can't do as well as my father did as a shoemaker." The Senate fell silent.

He turned to the arrogant congressman and said: "As far as I know, my father has also made shoes for your family before. If your shoes don't fit, I can help you correct them." "Although I am not a great shoemaker, I learned the art of making shoes from my father when I was a child." Then he said to all the senators: "The same goes for anyone in the Senate, if you wear that pair." My father made the shoes, and if they need to be repaired or improved, I will help as much as possible, but one thing is for sure, his craftsmanship is unparalleled." At this point, all the ridicule turned into sincerity. applause.

Some people criticized President Lincoln for his treatment of political opponents: "Why do you try to make them friends? You should find ways to attack them and eliminate them."

"Aren't we? Eliminating political enemies? Political enemies cease to exist when we become friends." This is how President Lincoln eliminated his political enemies and turned them into friends.

He was twice elected President of the United States.

What is engraved on the wall of the memorial hall named after him today is this passage: "Be kind to no one; be generous and kind to all; uphold justice, because God has made us know justice. ... "

If this happened to an ordinary person, he would probably be furious.

Being able to remain calm in the face of trouble is a kind of cultivation, a state, and an essential quality for achieving great things.

Don’t rush to blame others when things happen, but be tolerant and seek a method that both parties can accept to seek common ground while reserving differences.

Being calm is a kind of wisdom that turns big things into small things and small things into nothing. It is a kind of mind that takes a step back to open up the sky and endure the calm for a while.

Big leaders tend to be low-key, humble, and easy to talk to, while some minions tend to be arrogant and aggressive. This is what the saying goes, "The king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with."

A person's words and deeds often reveal his status. A person's attitude towards trouble often represents whether he can become a big shot.
