People call Guiguzi the ancestor of Wang Chan. He trained four great disciples: Pang Juan, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, and Su Qin.

With a vast history and splendid civilization, our ancestors have left many thought-provoking quotes for future generations. Honest people can expand their knowledge by studying, and smart people can understand and no longer fight for fame and fortune. This is to be a person with the right way and do things with skill.

1. The master’s affairs are getting better day by day but no one knows about it; the master’s soldiers are getting better day by day but no one is afraid of him.

Interpretation: What you do becomes increasingly successful without arousing the alarm of others; the troops you command always win battles without arousing the attention and fear of the enemy.

Extension: There is a misunderstanding in human thinking, that is, people do not consciously ignore things that seem reasonable and reasonable. Find ways to make your success a matter of course, and people will either admire it or ignore it. Only then can you reduce external resistance and not be affected. This is a wise state of affairs.

2. It is better to give everything you have than to give it your all!

Interpretation: Give him everything you have instead of controlling his thoughts.

Extension: Everyone's biggest weakness is his hobby. You can give up everything easily, but you can't give up easily only what you love. A master in dealing with others will make a fuss about other people's preferences, satisfy his preferences, or deprive him of his preferences. From these two points, he can control him.

3. The way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful. The way of a saint is to work without fighting.

Interpretation: The way of heaven is to benefit all things without harming them, and the way of man is to bring benefits to people in the world without competing with them.

Extension: The way of heaven makes up for the excess damage and the deficiency. This is the principle of the operation of all things. However, in order to conduct one's life, one must sacrifice more than is necessary and still have more than enough to serve. How can one be able to have more than enough to serve? But do good deeds and don't care about fame and fortune. What determines success or failure is the pattern, and what determines the achievement is the realm.

4. If you can use all the strength, you will be invincible in the world; if you can use all the wisdom, you will have no fear of the saints.

Interpretation: Only with the help of the power of all people can we conquer the world; only with the help of the wisdom of all people can we surpass the sages.

Implication: A person's power is limited after all. If you want to accomplish something beyond your own ability, you must gather the strength of everyone. Smart people are good at analyzing their own situation, weighing the pros and cons of their opponents, making beneficial alliances, and leveraging each other's strength to weaken their opponents and make themselves stronger.

5. The wise follow the trend, and the capable build momentum.

Interpretation: A wise person knows how to adapt to the current situation, and a capable person knows how to take advantage of the situation to build momentum.

Extension: Heaven cannot be violated, and the trend is irreversible. If you follow the trend, you can go far, but if you go against the trend, it will be difficult to take half a step. The right time, right place, and right people are all there for us, but when we are not in control of the situation, we must find ways to build momentum. There is no fixed model for building momentum. As long as you memorize the eight-character formula, you can use it flexibly: seize opportunities and create an atmosphere.

6. If you are not wise enough, you will not gain anything. If you make mistakes, you will end up in trouble. This is life and death.

Interpretation: If you are not wise enough, you will not be able to get what you want. Although strategies are good, if you use them improperly, you will end up with disaster. This is a matter of life and death.

Implication: People with great ambitions and limited talents cannot do things based on ambition alone, as there is no possibility of success. All people who have achieved success in life are wise and strategic. The more simple and lucky people are, the more likely they are to become victims. We cannot only see the benefits of making profits and ignore the risks of making profits. You must first cultivate your ability to control profits, so that you can be unfavorable.
