Su Shi said he was brave and afraid, while Lao Zi said he was wise and stupid.

"Brave and timid" comes from the Song Dynasty? Su Shi's Congratulations to Ouyang Shao Shi: "Quit years ago and don't stop. If you are brave and afraid, you will be as wise as a fool, proud without a crown, and die without guidance. " "

However, when you are not ready to retire, you desperately ask to resign and retire, you shrink back, you shirk, because you are unable to stop. The bravest people look timid, and the smartest people look stupid. The most precious thing is to get respect from others without official position, and the most admirable thing is that you can achieve real longevity without guidance.

"Even the wisest man is foolish" comes from Laozi. "Great wisdom is foolish, great wisdom is foolish, and elephants are invisible."

The whitest things seem to be dirty, the grand founder generally can't see the edges and corners, the grand materials (things) generally mature late, the grand melody often sounds thin, and the grand momentum scene seems to have no certain shape.
