During the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shao once published a campaign against Cao Cao, among which Cao Cao's ancestors were scolded by Yuan Shao for three generations.

After reading this article, Cao Cao asked his subordinates, "Who wrote this?" People thought that Cao Cao would be furious and said cautiously, "I heard that it was written by Chen Lin." Unexpectedly, Cao Cao even praised this article: "Chen Lin's article is really good, and it is well scolded."

Later, the battle of Guandu took place, Yuan Shao was defeated, and Chen Lin was also captured by Cao Cao's soldiers. Chen Lin thought, scold all Cao Cao's ancestors once, and I will die. But Cao Cao not only didn't kill Chen Lin, but also let him make his own documents. On one occasion, Cao Cao joked, "You have a good writing style, but you can call me names at will in a campaign. Why do you still scold my father and grandfather? "

Later, he was deeply moved by Chen Lin and made many good plans for Cao Cao, which benefited him a lot.

As a lean man in troubled times, Cao Cao was not only exempted from punishment, but even reused it in the face of his sworn enemy Chen Lin, which shows his broad mind. It is not difficult to understand that there are many talents living under Cao Cao.

Second, be narrow-minded

Zhou Yu tried to kill Zhuge Liang from the day he discovered that he was more talented than himself, but it backfired. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Wu and Shu fought for Jingzhou, while Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang each had their own strategies and showed their abilities. After three wars, Zhou Yu was defeated by Zhuge Liang. But Zhou Yu was always unconvinced and finally died. When he died, he shouted, God, how unfair! Since Zhou Yu was born, why did you give birth to an annoying Zhuge Liang?

It can be seen that Zhou Yu is jealous of talent, narrow-minded, and can't tolerate others on himself, so he is angry with Zhuge Liang. Under the influence of jealousy, people's health is easily damaged. If people want to make progress, they must associate with people who are better than themselves and learn more. Especially as a leader, people who are better than themselves can be virtuous to corporal, but they can't be jealous of their talents. If, like Zhou Yu, both sides lose, which is not self-serving and hinders work, it will really outweigh the benefits.
