A Must-read Book for Life —— Chapter 24 of Tao Te Ching: Enterprises Don't Stand.
Farewell My Concubine is one of the classic plays of Beijing Opera. When it was staged that year, some people commented on every scene of the play. When Xiang Yu ignored the situation, refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on going out, someone commented: "Every word."

After Xiang Yu returned to the palace, Yu Ji repeatedly advised him not to send troops, lest Liu Bang fall into a trap. But Xiang Yu couldn't say anything and refused: "I have made up my mind to send troops tomorrow." Someone commented: "the head of the family."

When Xiang Yu entered Liu Bang's ambush alone, someone commented that "go your own way". Xiang Yu was besieged, and someone commented, "I can't do anything."

Finally, when preparing wine, someone commented: "An Elegy". Xiang Yu was besieged on all sides, and the Han soldiers would come and commit suicide. Someone sighed and said, "A complete failure".

These six "ones": one word at a time, the head of the family, bent on his own way, helpless, an elegy, a crushing defeat, accurately and concisely described Xiang Yu's personality characteristics and failures. I think this is the most wonderful drama review.

In fact, looking at Chapter 24 of Tao Te Ching, it turns out that Lao Tzu has made a vivid portrait of this kind of people: enterprises are not established.

This chapter is some abstract details of the previous chapter: the same way, the same virtue, the same loss. ? Lao Tzu used some common phenomena in daily life to describe Tao. However, it is explained by reverse causality.

Stand on tiptoe and look up. You can stand for a while, but you can't stand for a long time. This is a big step, once or twice, but if you go on like this, you won't be able to travel far, and you will be considered a mental derangement. He used five "no" and one "no", just like some people commented on Farewell My Concubine, and accurately portrayed those who were impatient, conceited and boastful.

In fact, from a historical point of view, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, those failed dynasties have never been able to enter the ontology of Tao and conduct in-depth research on it. Qin Shihuang severely punished the law and used it too quickly. Soon, this huge empire fell apart and was extinct.

Xiang Yu had no face to see his elders in Jiangdong and bowed his head. Yang Di is too extravagant to die with dignity. At the end of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen hanged Jingshan. These conquered kings can find stubborn rejection of Tao from them. In Tao's view, these defects are "extra food", which is disgusting and must be abandoned by it. The external manifestation is the death of the body and the destruction of the country.

As big as a dynasty, as small as an enterprise and an individual, all show the effectiveness of this reverse causal relationship. The chairman and management of those enterprises that have gone bankrupt and liquidated must embody these five "noes" and one "none".

Looking through the Hurun Rich List, commonly known as the Kill Pig List, you can see it at a glance. Not to mention individuals. Up to the big shots, down to some local tyrants, all fell under this powerful force of reverse causality.

Recently, the epidemic has rebounded somewhat, and everyone has started the repeated actions of last year. Block the area, block the road, set up checkpoints, measure the temperature, scan the code and wear masks. I went to a community to do business the other day. When the car stopped at the gate, I saw a fat man without a mask, cursing loudly with the staff at the card point. This situation still exists.

The card collector had no choice but to follow. Soon two people came, dressed in ordinary clothes and masks, looking like guys in restaurants. One of the older people, about forty years old, came over and asked slowly.

Who knows that Nan Batian rolled his eyes and said, "Which crotch is broken and exposed you?" Worry about eating radish. "Big brother not angry. He looked the fat man up and down and said, "Well, yes, he has the guts. ".Then he took out his mobile phone and made a phone call.

Soon, four or five people on duty in protective clothing came, and several beautiful robbing actions knocked the fat man to the ground, and one person quickly handcuffed him. Then pick it up from the ground and call it a dead dog. The fat man was still yelling, and a police car came and the siren flashed. The fat man is honest, pulling a police car and squatting at the foot of the police station.

It turns out that these two are the secretary and director of the street working Committee, and they go to various card points every day to check the epidemic prevention situation. And this fat man is the general manager of the surrounding residential property. Maybe rich, maybe powerful. However, this is probably very sad. It is difficult for the police station to squat on the wall. Whether this property management company can survive here is unknown.

I often think, why would someone refuse the avenue like this? Is it natural or acquired? A natural person is "the beginning of life, and his nature is good." Ah, he was born pure. It is formed the day after tomorrow, but some people can get close to the Tao and make a career.

If the whole crowd is classified, it can be divided into two categories: pro-Taoism and anti-Taoism. Most people are more or less apostates. Of course, he was also punished to varying degrees.

Although they have been punished and learned from the past, there are still people who, like moths to a fire, advance wave after wave and die.

Read the story report of a female corrupt official. In addition to all kinds of famous bags, famous wines and famous clothes piled up in the room, she also went to Korea to have her ass fixed. It is said that she spent 400,000 to 500,000 RMB, which is the most expensive ass in history.

Silence! How to explain it? Just one sentence: whoever God wants to destroy must be crazy first. There is no other way.
