No contradiction!
This goes hand in hand!
1. If you don’t sweep one house, how can you sweep the whole world? This is a matter of thinking big and starting small. It is a question of lofty ideals and practical actions.
This is actually: Cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world!
When a tall building rises from the ground, a solid foundation must be laid. The Long March must start step by step. A child should be ambitious and strong, work hard to learn scientific knowledge, and contribute to the country and society in the future. It's motivation, it's right. But to realize this ideal, you must have the ability and quality. Therefore, we must hold ourselves to the standards of three good students from an early age and study systematically all the way to undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees. In this way, you can work hard to realize your ideals and make a career!
If you only have ideals, but do not study hard and diligently, and have no practical skills, then you will be "empty" and you will achieve nothing!
Second, those who achieve great things do not have to stick to trivial matters. I understand that there are two meanings.
First, speaking from yourself, you should focus your attention and energy on big things, and don't let trivial things distract you and affect the completion of big things. The professor preaches and gets his job, and the nanny does the housework.
You cannot turn yourself and your subordinates into cautious gentlemen!
The second is that no gold is enough and no one is perfect. When it comes to employing people, you should see the strengths of others.
Liu Bang was able to unify the world because he was able to command Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Xiao He and other talented people, and used their strengths to unify the world!
Chairman Mao had the world in mind and united and led the ten marshals and thousands of generals. Which of these generals has no personality or shortcomings! But they are great talents! Chairman Mao commanded these generals and led thousands of troops to victory in the revolution!
Xu Shiyou loves to drink, but he dares to fight hard! Chairman Mao named Xu Shiyou to attack Jinan. As a result, all the enemies were wiped out, Jinan was liberated, and Wang Yaowu was captured alive!
There are bound to be some inaccuracies in my opinion. Please correct me, teachers and friends!
Thank you!
The first sentence is an allusion from the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is about a conversation between 15-year-old Chen Fan and his father’s friend Xue Qin. Xue Qin saw the messy house and asked: "Why don't you clean the room to welcome the guests?" Chen Fan said: "When a man handles things, he should take it as his own duty to eliminate bad things in the world. How can he care about a house?" Xue Qin said Qin immediately asked back: "If you don't sweep one house, how can you sweep the world?" Chen Fan responded silently.
From the conversation between the two people, we can know that "If you don't clean a house, how can you sweep the world." It means that if you don't even clean a house, how can you govern the world?
The second sentence, "Those who achieve great things do not have to pay attention to small details." The meaning of the title is that people who achieve great things do not care about small details, but this statement is not consistent with reality. Throughout the ages, those who have achieved great things have had good habits since childhood. Li Bai knew a truth from his grandmother, "As long as you work hard, an iron rod can eventually be ground into a needle," so he never tired of learning. When Mr. Lu Xun was late for school once when he was a child, he carved the word "morning" on the table. From now on, I will never be late again. There are countless examples of people who have been determined to cultivate themselves since childhood and have grown up to be successful. However, there are also those who "steal needles when they are young, and steal gold when they grow up", and "who are not disciplined strictly when they are young, and become scum when they grow up".
As mentioned above, when you are young, you “don’t clean a house”, and you cannot govern the world when you grow up. Also, those who develop good habits from childhood can achieve great things when they grow up.
These two sentences are not contradictory:
1. How can you sweep the world without sweeping one house? This is a small metaphor for a big thing, referring to a person's energy or initiative. If you can't do things on such a small scale, how can you do bigger things?
2. Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Refers to a person's bearing or the details of his life. As a person, the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, and he is not particular about clothing and food. Only by being tolerant and generous in these trivial matters can he accomplish great things.
From the perspective of sentence structure, the former is a rhetorical question and the latter is an affirmative sentence. This is just my humble opinion, please forgive me for your advice!
What is language: the sound produced when the upper and lower lips touch each other!
Everyone has their own conclusions and makes them according to their own subjective wishes.
If you don’t sweep a house, someone else will sweep it. Do big things without being held back by small devices. On the contrary.
Look at the situation of people today. In addition to those who are optimistic about their own affairs and take good care of themselves, there are a few people who are worried about the world. The major events in the world are the major events of the country and the world. The common people can provide food and clothing for their own small families just because they are weak. This is the great blessing of the country. Therefore, those who can clean a house are highly praised. This is also in line with the current trend of thought. It is an honor for a small family to get rich first.
If the problem is that the whole house is not swept, then that is a different matter. The so-called house-cleaning refers to those people who waste their time in a muddle-headed manner. In today's era, information technology is very developed, and various ideological trends are surging. Some people make money by playing games, and some people make a fortune by opening an account and doing live broadcasts.
These examples do not exert positive energy and bring negative things to society. Some so-called life mentors just use them to say that getting rich through hard work is a lie. It can only be said that those who cheat and kidnap are heroes among people, and corrupt officials are also capable. In short, whoever can become rich and powerful now, no matter how many stains and misdeeds he takes, or even violations of laws and disciplines, these are just small details, because he has become a big deal. If such a trend of thought is allowed to spread, I think it is a very dangerous thing.
The ancients said that you can’t reach a thousand miles without taking small steps. Good virtue is the result of accumulation over time. The so-called informality in small details is nothing more than what the common people say. A person who steals a needle when he is young will steal the sky when he grows up. If someone steals something from a thief, slap his hand hard and punish him a few times, and he will develop a memory. If you let yourself go, you will naturally be arrogant. A person who achieves great things must be a person with a high degree of self-discipline. Only in this way can we take on the world.
In short, ordinary people can just sweep a house, but those who achieve great things must have the world in mind.
How can you sweep the world without sweeping one house? It means that in the process of growing up, a person must start from bit by bit and be down-to-earth in order to grow into a person who achieves great things. And when you become a person who is responsible for big things, your heart and all your wisdom should be focused on achieving big things, and you can no longer dwell on small things. These small things have obviously been experienced by you, and you should let others do it. So these two sentences are not contradictory, but two aspects of one life. Just like Marx, he was a great achiever ideologically. He studied the nature of capitalism, but was powerless to deal with daily life problems. He relied on his wife Jenny to shoulder the burden of life.
"How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep one house?" This sentence comes from: Later Han Dynasty. The Biography of King Chen. Chen Fan, a famous minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, lived alone in a room when he was young. The courtyard was messy and dirty. Xue Qin criticized him: "Ruby Why don't you sweep the house to entertain the guests?" Chen Fan replied: "When a man is in the world, he should sweep the whole house in order." Xue Qin immediately retorted: "How can the world be peaceful if a house is not swept?" This sentence teaches us that everything should start from the small things around us, and we should not aim too high.
This is an allusion to Yi refutation by ancient celebrities. It is a classic saying used to cultivate and educate future generations of talents. I would like to warn future generations that everything should start from the small things around you and work your way up step by step. "If you don't sweep one house, how can you sweep the world?"
But the ideas and actions of truly outstanding talents are exactly the opposite. The story is a typical example. (Of course, not all famous officials and dignitaries must follow the trajectory of "If you don't sweep one house, how can you sweep the world?") Xue Qin was a friend of Chen Fan's father. Chen Fan soon after being taught by his elders Unconvinced, he failed to clean the house, but later he still became Taiyu, Taiwei, Taifu and other positions, sweeping the world.
The story tells people: If an ambitious person establishes his own beliefs, he must work hard for his ideals, fight hard, persevere, be informal, despise some trivial things, and strive for success. Depth, extreme height, and lofty ambition, you can develop and achieve great things even without sweeping the floor.
"Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial details" have no specific origin, but "do not stick to trivial details" comes from "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" written by Yu Yan. It means that those who can achieve great things do not stick to the minutiae of life.
As for the title of the question, is there a contradiction between "How can the world be peaceful if one house is not swept" and "Those who achieve great things don't have to stick to trivial matters"?
Successful people in ancient and modern times have different paths. They depend on their own abilities and talents, and on their family background. "How can the world be safe if one house is not swept?" It should be true; "A man should sweep the world and keep one house in peace." It is not necessarily impossible.
Therefore, the author believes that there is no contradiction between the two sentences: "How can the world be peaceful if one house is not cleaned?" and "Those who achieve great things do not have to stick to trivial matters."
Metaphor. How can a person inherit the whole world if he can't even take care of himself? If you cannot perfect singleness, how can you perfect the world? People who achieve great things never stick to small details. A prime minister can hold a big boat in his belly and not be harmed by personal desires. It is difficult for people who do not lead by example to rule the world. It’s even harder to pretend to have more great things in the world if you don’t reduce your mistakes in your heart!

No contradiction:
First, it’s about the overall situation.
Second, we are talking about the local area.
