A person who repays kindness with heavy oil.
Speaking of the seven-year glorious history of the "Chu-Han dispute", I think the person you think of must be Liu Bang, the heroic hero of Emperor Gaozu. And I think there is another figure as dazzling as a pearl, and that is Han Xin. The darkness was Han Xin, and the last stop was Han Xin, which drove Xiang Yu to no way back, and the people surrounded by garrison were also Han Xin. In this "Chu-Han hegemony", which event has nothing to do with Han Xin?
Of course, the characters are perfect, and Han Xin's evaluation after one thousand years is "mixed feelings". Some people say that Han Xin was arrogant and never took Cao Can, Fan Kuai and others in the Han Dynasty seriously. Some people say that Han Xin is a man of courage, resilient, and has been kicked by others' legs and suffered humiliation. However, there is another bright spot in Han Xin, that is, "the kindness dropped by others is exchanged for a gushing spring". Presumably, this virtue is also one of the reasons why Han Xin can make great achievements.
Back to three years ago, Han Xin was just a little beggar living on the street, so poor that he couldn't even fill his stomach. Down and out, he came to the river hungry, pinched a handful of green bristlegrass with his thumb and forefinger, and walked aimlessly. At this time, an old mother who was washing clothes by the river stopped him and said to him kindly, "Young man, your face is so pale." Are you hungry? " Han Xin dazed, gently nodded his head. The old mother said, "Come on, I have rice balls here. Eat! " "He casually muttered," You said you were young, why didn't you find a job to support your family? "? Better than fooling around like you! "Han Xin said nothing, just took the rice ball, thanked and went away.
After a while, Han Xin went to Chu to join the army and wanted to make great contributions. However, the arrogance of the overlord Chu made Han Xin's talent nowhere to display. What a hero! Later, Han Xin heard that Pei Gong Liu Ji was recruiting, so he resigned from Chu camp and went to Han camp. Master Liu Ji is modest and talented, so Han Xin has a chance to lead the troops to fight. Han Xinshan fought with soldiers and was deeply loved by Hanwang (former master Pei). Han Xin was promoted step by step, which helped Hanwang achieve the great cause of the century and became his royal highness, the king of Qi, with one person above ten thousand people. But while he was brilliant, he did not forget to receive a meal from his old mother, so he ordered someone to prepare two thousand daughters and personally come to the door to bow down and thank humbly.
Han Xin came to the thatched cottage by the river. The old mother can't remember the young man who ate the rice balls she cooked in those years, because too many people benefited from the rice she cooked, but now Han Xin, who is above herself, doesn't forget her kindness. Old people often teach: "You don't have to worry that kindness will educate people, but you will never forget it." Probably summed it up from Han Xin.
Listen to people's voices.
Joe girard in American automobile sales once had a profound experience. Once, a celebrity came to him to buy a car, and he recommended a new model to him. The man was satisfied with the car and took out 10000 USD in cash. It was almost a deal, and the other party suddenly changed its mind and left.
Joe has been worried about this all afternoon and can't figure it out. At night 1 1, he couldn't help calling the man: "Hello! I'm joe girard. I introduced a new car to you this afternoon. You were just about to buy it and suddenly left. "
"Hey, do you know what time it is?"
"I'm very sorry, I know it's already 1 1 o'clock in the evening, but I can't think of anything wrong after reviewing it all afternoon, so I'm calling you for advice."
"Really?"
"heartfelt words."
"Very well! Are you listening to me attentively? "
"It's very hard."
"But you didn't listen to me this afternoon. Just before signing the contract, I mentioned that my dog Jimmy was going to study medicine at the University of Michigan. I also mentioned my dog's academic performance, athletic ability and his future ambition. I am proud of him, but you have no response. "
Joe doesn't remember the other person saying these words because he didn't pay attention at all. Joe thinks the deal has been settled. Not only is he not interested in listening to what the other party is saying, but he is also listening to another salesman telling jokes in the office.
That's why Joe failed: that man needs to praise an excellent son besides buying a car.
Joe girard just didn't "think and act from each other's standpoint". He just took it for granted that it was a deal.
Bi Sheng invented movable type printing.
In the early days, books were printed in full page. It is said that my brother Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, and the printing efficiency has been improved by dozens of times. The younger brothers learn from their older brothers.
While demonstrating and explaining, Bi Sheng introduced his invention to his younger brothers without reservation.
He first made delicate clay into small squares, engraved them with raised backhand characters one by one, hardened them with fire, and put them in the square according to vowels. Then spread a layer of glue (rosin, wax, paper scraps) on the iron plate, arrange the words one by one according to the paragraph, enclose them with an iron frame and heat them with fire. When the glue cools slightly, flatten the layout with a flat plate, and then print it after it is completely cooled. After printing, bake the printing plate with fire, melt the adhesive, remove the movable type one by one, and save it for typesetting next time.
The younger brothers can't help but exclaim. A younger brother said, "There are more than 5,000 volumes of the Tripitaka, and 6,543,800+3,000 pieces of wood have been carved, which can't fit in one room. How many teenagers have spent their heart and blood! If you use the senior method, you can finish it in a few months. Brother, how did you come up with such a clever way? "
"My two sons taught me!" Bi Sheng said.
"Your son? It won't be like this. They will only' play house'. "
"You're right! Just rely on this' house'. " Bi Sheng said with a smile, "Before Tomb-Sweeping Day last year, I took my wife and children back to my hometown to worship my ancestors. One day, two sons played house, making pots, bowls, tables, chairs, pigs and people out of mud and arranging them around at will. My eyes suddenly lit up, and I thought, why don't I play house, too: carve a single word seal with mud, so that you can arrange it at will and put it in the article? Ha ha! Isn't this what my son taught me? "
Other disciples also burst out laughing.
"But in this house, all the children have played and all the brothers have seen it. Why only you invented movable type printing? " Or the little teacher younger brother asked.
After a while, the master said, "Among your other disciples, Bi Sheng is the most thoughtful. He has been thinking about new ways to improve work efficiency! Rome was not built in a day. "
"Oh-!" The other disciples are enlightened.
