The culmination of Laozi’s thoughts? The Tao Te Ching is like a well that never dries up, full of treasures. You can get it at your fingertips when you put down the bucket. German philosopher Nietzsche

Laozi was a famous philosopher, thinker and founder of the Taoist school during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in my country. His thoughts were recorded in the book "Tao Te Ching" and have deeply influenced later generations.

According to statistics from relevant departments, "Tao Te Ching" is the most popular book besides the Bible that has been translated into various fonts and published and sold in foreign countries. More and more Western scholars are working tirelessly to explore its mysteries. Delving deeply into the foundation of ancient wisdom and seeking the origin of human civilization has an increasing international impact.

Although the "Tao Te Ching" is only 5,000 words long, every sentence contains wise sayings. Picking out any sentence can be used as a motto and motto in life. It covers the heavens and the earth and talks about human nature. It can be said that every word is pearl and every sentence is penetrating.

Each of us has our own temper. When someone scolds us, most of us may choose to go back directly. Sometimes we may even feel that we have not performed well after the quarrel with others. .

In fact, it is very bad to have such a "getting carried away" temperament, and it is easy to be exploited and fall into other people's traps.

There is a saying in the "Tao Te Ching": "A good person does not argue, and a person who debates is not good".

A person who does not argue with others and always considers others has good intentions, but a person who cares about gains and losses and is better at arguing has no good intentions.

Not all eloquent people are wise, and not all silent people are fools. Truly kind people know how to be tolerant, and truly smart people know how to use their brains when faced with insults, rather than just using their words.

This approach seems to be showing weakness, but it is precisely this kind of weakness that is the strongest weapon.

Laozi said: "No one in the world is soft and weak as water, and no one who attacks the strong can defeat it, because it is impossible to defeat it."

It means that water is the weakest thing in the world, but it is indestructible. Nothing can defeat it, and nothing can replace it.

This means that people must learn to be restrained and be an easy-going person. Only with gentle and firm strength can one be truly indestructible. And when you show your sharpness, you often hurt yourself. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's subordinates Yang Xiu and Rangli's Kong Rong were killed by Cao Cao because they were too sharp and arrogant.

Therefore, people must learn to show weakness and let others feel that you are not afraid of you and will not be wary of you. Only then can you have the opportunity to seize his weakness and hit him with one blow.

Lao Tzu believes that if something is crooked, it will be complete, and if it is crooked, it will be straight.

I once saw a saying: "Immature men will sacrifice themselves heroically for their careers, while mature men will live humblely for their careers." ?

I advocate femininity precisely because he discovered after traveling around that everything that looks weak is often full of vitality. Just like a steady stream of water droplets can penetrate stones, tender grass buds can break through stubborn rocks, and they can also show vitality on cliffs.

So, people should learn to show weakness and learn to live with a humble attitude. But showing weakness does not mean blindly giving in. We must learn to be like water, soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

When we are insulted by others, it is the wisest choice for us to learn to be patient, wait for the opportunity, and seize his excuses and loopholes to fight back.

This is the real great wisdom!

What is even more essential are the idioms originally created by Laozi, which can be said to be the summary and essence of Laozi’s wisdom, from which we can fully understand the true meaning of the Tao Te Ching.
