So what is the consistent "Tao" that Confucius said here?
Confused by Confucius' answer, the students all asked what the teacher Ceng Zi had always said. Ceng Zi replied: "The master's way is loyalty and forgiveness." In other words, the consistent way that the teacher said is precisely the way of loyalty and forgiveness.
What is the way of loyalty and forgiveness?
Loyalty means "if you want to be a man standing, if you want to be a man", and if you want to make a difference, you should also let others make a difference. If you want to be rich, let others be rich. This is loyalty. Forgive me, that is, "don't do to others what you don't want", and don't do something you don't want to undertake.
Huashan, the boss of Huahua, finally summed up Confucius' "loyalty and forgiveness" as a Tao, that is, caring for your own heart.
He said that the words "loyalty" and "forgiveness" had been torn down. Loyalty and righteousness, once you go up and down, what people want, what you do is exactly what others expect, which is the people's heart; Forgive me, the top is like a heart, the bottom is like a heart, and the hearts of others are like my heart. So loyalty and forgiveness is a way, that is, a way to compare one's heart with others'. Empathy is the core of Confucius' thought. This is the simplest folk wisdom in China.
Confucianism pays attention to observing and thinking about things. Today, I will talk about "loyalty" in combination with myself and deepen my understanding of it.
"I want to stand up and stand up. I want to touch people." It is about achieving others, which is also the core of leadership. Loyalty in The Analects is not the loyalty of subordinates to superiors, but the loyalty of superiors to subordinates.
I am very lucky. When I was growing up, I met many leaders whose values were "loyalty".
I am the first middle-level leader in a strict sense and the president of my branch. During my tenure, he gave me full trust and exercise opportunities, which made me grow from a teller to an account manager. For an employee who has nothing to do with me, in an atmosphere where relationships and resources are the first priority of account managers, it is actually difficult to get a promotion. Moreover, my leader not only did not stop me when I had the opportunity to go to a higher platform for development, but also strongly recommended it, which opened a window for my career.
My second middle-level leader was the general manager of a gold department at that time. He is an authorized leader, and at the same time gives me manpower and resources, so that I can try my hand at work. On the one hand, form a team, from single-handedness to teamwork in business. On the other hand, I should be able to talk while doing business and constantly give me opportunities to sum up, share experiences and even give speeches. Finally, I took part in the speech contest and won the first prize. Since then, more people, especially the leaders of the head office, have known me and laid the foundation for my next development.
My third middle-level leader, later the general manager of the retail department, appeared like Bole. He helped me build up my confidence, and at the same time led me to transform from my original business position to a management position, which made me make a historic breakthrough in my work. First, it is a breakthrough in self-cognition, and I found a strong altruistic background in my personality; The second is a breakthrough in ability, from only doing business to transforming team management; Third, it is a breakthrough in career development, from business positions to management positions.
In addition to the above three important leaders, I also met several key leaders, who gave me advice and guidance at critical moments without any important interests.
Now in my usual work, I have also inherited the "loyalty" of these leaders in my work. I always wonder, am I loyal to my employees? Do you always think about their interests, you have to stand up and be a man, you have to contact people and achieve people?
Be altruistic and good luck will come naturally.
