A classic example of success in dealing with caution

No matter what you do, being cautious is always an important factor in success. I have carefully recommended for everyone some examples of people who succeeded because they were cautious in doing things. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Examples of Success in Being Cautious 1: Accurate Timetable

When the great German philosopher Immanuel Kant was teaching at the University of K?nigsberg, he followed a strict life rule and also had a regular schedule every night at eight Go to bed at 0 o'clock and get up at 5 o'clock in the morning. He strictly followed this schedule for 30 years and was so accurate that when he went out for a walk every morning, his residents used the time when he went out as a standard to correct the time. . Examples of success through caution 2: Jia Huangzhong

In the Song Dynasty, there was a very learned man named Jia Huangzhong. He started studying with his father when he was five years old.

Due to his father's strict requirements, Jia Huangzhong passed the Jinshi examination at the age of fifteen and became a school secretary. Jia Huangzhong was an honest and upright official. When he was the Grand Shou of Xuanzhou, there was a famine one year and many people starved to death. Jia Huangzhong used his own rice to cook and saved thousands of people. When he was serving in Jinling, he discovered that there were dozens of boxes of gold and silver treasures hidden in the treasury, which were priceless, and he immediately cleared them and reported them to the court.

Song Dazong was very happy and praised him, saying that if he had not been honest and dedicated, these treasures of the previous dynasty would have been lost; in addition, he specially summoned Jia Huangzhong’s mother and praised her for her meritorious service in educating her son, which can be compared to Mencius's mother.

However, Jia Huangzhong is too serious and cautious in his work, and often cannot make prompt decisions when encountering major issues. Later, he was sent to serve in other places. When he bid farewell to Taizong, Taizong warned him: "Be respectful and cautious in doing things. This should be done by both a king and a minister. But if you go too far, you will lose your ability." As a minister. ?When Jia Huangzhong died, his family was very poor. The emperor specially gave him 300,000 yuan in money and 300 taels of silver to his old mother in recognition of his honesty and selflessness as an official and his mother's ability to educate his children. Chapter 3 of Examples of Success by Being Cautious: Guo Ziyi was cautious and died well

Guo Ziyi, a general of the Tang Dynasty, had made great achievements in pacifying the Anshi Rebellion. He was praised by Suzong, respected as "Shangfu", and was named Fen in Jin Dynasty. Prince Yang, he has the power to dominate the world without scruples, and the merits of a generation are not doubted by the master. He enjoys high prestige and reputation throughout the country, but he never takes credit and is arrogant. He is very cautious and pays special attention to details in his work.

After Guo Ziyi became a high official, not only did he have many wives and concubines at home, but there were also more people visiting him. Guo Ziyi was very calm. Every time a guest came to visit his house, he never let the concubines around him The concubines shunned them, with the exception of Lu Qi. This Lu Qi was extremely ugly with a blue face, much like the imp in the Palace of Yama, so the neighbors regarded him as the blue-faced imp under the Prince of Hell. At that time He was appointed as the imperial envoy Zhongcheng.

As soon as he heard that the imperial envoy Zhongcheng Lu Qi was visiting, Guo Ziyi immediately asked the concubines around him to hide. Guo Ziyi is a highly respected minister and has all the power in the world, while an imperial envoy Zhongcheng is at most equivalent to the deputy prosecutor general of the current Supreme Procuratorate. No matter whether his position or power is compared with Guo Ziyi, it is far behind. It is said that it was because of the official visit that it was not appropriate for the concubines to be present. There were many people older than Lu Qi, so Guo Ziyi did not shy away from etiquette with them. Why should he treat such a fourth-rank imperial envoy Zhongcheng with such etiquette? ?The family members didn’t understand. After Lu Qi left, they asked Guo Ziyi why he wanted to avoid Lu Qi alone? Guo Ziyi sighed and said: This man is not only extremely ugly in appearance, but also has an extremely sinister mind. If I let you when he comes to visit, When you are here, seeing his appearance, some of you will inevitably laugh out loud. This will cause a big disaster. Once this person takes power, the lives of my people will be difficult to protect!

This Lu Qi, who even Guo Ziyi was afraid of, later became the prime minister, "below one person and above ten thousand people", and his sinister heart was exposed. He was like a mad dog, Jealousy is jealous of virtuous people. He will bite anyone he doesn't like. If anyone wants to have trouble with him even a little bit, he won't stop until he tortures them to death. In his network of bullying and harming people, regardless of his position, reputation, or whether it would cause damage to the country or the people, he would catch and bite everyone, with the exception of Guo Ziyi's family.

Because Guo Ziyi was cautious and low-key in dealing with people, he was able to enjoy his old age and died at the age of eighty-five. Examples of success through caution Chapter 4: One less horseshoe nail

This famous legend comes from the historical facts of the abdication of King Richard III of England.

He was defeated at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, a battle that determined who would rule England. On the morning of the battle, Richard sent a groom to prepare his favorite horse. ?Hurry up and nail it. The groom said to the blacksmith, "The king hopes to ride on it to lead the battle." ?You have to wait,? replied the blacksmith, ?I have shod all the horses in the king's army a few days ago, and now I have to find some iron pieces. ?I can't wait. The groom shouted impatiently, "The enemy is advancing. We must meet the enemy soldiers on the battlefield. Use whatever you have." ?The blacksmith immersed himself in work, took four horseshoes from an iron bar, smashed them flat, shaped them, fixed them on the horseshoes, and then started driving nails.

After nailing three palms, he found that there were no nails to nail the fourth palm. ?I need a nail or two,? he said. ?It will take some time to hammer out two. "I told you I couldn't wait," the groom said eagerly, "I heard the bugle, can you make do with it? I can nail the horseshoes on, but not as firmly as the others." ?Can you hang it? The groom asked. "It should be possible," the blacksmith replied, "but I'm not sure." "Well, that's it," cried the groom, "hurry up, or the king will blame us both." ?

The two armies clashed, and King Richard was in the army's formation. He charged into the battle and spurred the soldiers to fight the enemy. ?Charge! Charge!? He shouted, leading his troops to charge towards the enemy position. From a distance, he saw several of his soldiers retreating on the other side of the battlefield. If others saw them like this, they would retreat, so Richard rushed towards the gap with whip and horse, calling the soldiers to turn around and fight. Before he got halfway, a horseshoe fell off, the horse fell to the ground, and Richard was also thrown to the ground. Before the king could seize the reins, the frightened beast jumped up and fled. Richard looked around. His soldiers turned and retreated, and Henry's army surrounded them. He waved his sword in the air, ?Horse!? he shouted, ?One horse, my country fell because of one horse. ?He has no horses to ride, his army has fallen apart, and the soldiers have no time to fend for themselves. After a while, Henry's soldiers captured Richard and the battle was over.

Since then, people have said: a nail is missing, a horseshoe is missing. A horseshoe is missing and a war horse is missing. Without a horse, a battle is lost. A battle was lost and a country was lost. All the losses were due to the lack of a stud shoe. Chapter 5 of examples of success by being cautious in dealing with things: Gan Xiaohua is rigorous in doing things and being humble in life

Be rigorous in doing things, be humble in life, and be firm and persistent in every step of your life. ?This is the most authentic life portrayal of General Master Gan Xiaohua.

When I graduated from college in 1994 and was just assigned to a certain school, I first met Gan Xiaohua, and I was deeply affected by the firmness and persistence revealed in his delicate humility. At that time, I only knew that he was a doctor with some success, and he was already the director of our research laboratory at a young age. What kind of person he is, what kind of "deeds" he has, and what kind of career he can achieve in his thirties, I am full of curiosity. In their subsequent conversations, I gradually learned that any success is not accidental. How can plum blossoms smell fragrant without being chilled to the bone?

I once went to the countryside, drove a tractor, and worked as a carpenter. Academician Gan Xiaohua, with his endless pursuit of science and technology and perseverance, was admitted to the aerospace engine major of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics for the first time after the "Chinese Revolution" and was admitted to Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics to study for master's and doctoral degrees. Through hard study and unremitting efforts, he gradually accumulated rich professional knowledge. Out of his infinite love for the national defense and aerospace engine industries, Gan Xiaohua came to work in a certain company.

After entering a certain institute, Gan Xiaohua was assigned to serve as an engineer in the second research laboratory at that time. At that time, a certain institute was undergoing an earth-shaking change, and the thirst for talents reached an unprecedented level. This was also objectively true. The above provides Gan Xiaohua with a rare development opportunity and a platform to fully demonstrate his abilities and qualities. During this period, Gan Xiaohua also grew the fastest. His own abilities and moral character were also the decisive factors for him to become the leading talent of our military's aero-engine scientific research team. In this regard, I have a deep understanding of Academician Gan Xiaohua's work style for more than ten years. What I have the most profound experience with is his tenacious and innovative spirit and rigorous and pragmatic work style.

I remember that it was 1996. A certain type of engine refused to be repaired because foreign countries refused to provide us with spare parts, which made the repair work face many difficulties. At this time, Academician Gan stepped forward and told us: "Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while." At this time, if we, as a military scientific research unit, do not dare to take on the responsibilities, then what use are we? No matter how hard it is, we will still do it!? Driven by the courage and determination of Academician Gan, our team has been able to Over a period of time, it not only independently repaired this type of engine, but also upgraded and improved the engine to improve its performance. Academician Gan has put in countless efforts to achieve these achievements. In order to study the repair technology and test procedures, he led us through countless sleepless nights. What kind of scientific researcher is he who has the courage to take on unremitting efforts!

< p> After 2000, Gan Xiaohua successively served as director, deputy director of the science and technology department of a certain institute, and chief engineer of the research institute. He embarked on a new job, with a heavier burden on his shoulders, and a broader world that gave him great achievements. new space.

In 2011, our office wanted to ask Academician Gan to help revise an important technical report. At this time, he was already the chief engineer of the institute, and was also applying for academicianship of the Academy of Engineering. His work was extremely busy. We are really worried that Academician Gan will reject our request because he does not have time to review it. When I walked into Academician Gan's office with the technical report and saw Academician Gan writing furiously, I hesitated a little.

At this time, Academician Gan looked up at me with a smile and asked: "Do you need my help with anything?" I said embarrassedly: "Mr. Gan, we have a very important technical report to submit to the agency. I wonder if you have time? Gan The academician said readily: "I have a piece of material that needs to be written immediately. You can put it here and I will reply to you as soon as possible." ?Early the next morning, as soon as I walked into the office, Mr. Gan called me and asked me to go to his office. When I saw that the nearly two hundred pages of the report were densely filled with President Gan’s revision opinions, I was very moved. The scene before my eyes emerged of Academician Gan working at his desk all night long. What a rigorous and meticulous scientific researcher and ordinary and amiable leader he is.

Plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand tons of grain in autumn. Hard work will definitely bring the joy of harvest. It is precisely because of his unremitting efforts that he is willing to be lonely. Now, Gan Xiaohua has finally ushered in the glory of his life and career. In 2011, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He composed an ode to the blue sky with his heart to serve the country.
