A group of whistleblowers

In short, the so-called gossips are those who like to speak ill of others behind their backs , the one who stirs up dissension. There is an old saying in China, "Listen more and talk less" and "pay too much attention to clothes and not enough to people". In other words, ordinary people use these small things to judge and measure a person's height, good and evil, and even become legal norms for moral personality.

Because they have no ability to solve problems, they have to put people first and use traditional secular concepts to criticize a person. This is called "serving the people rather than serving things."

The ancients often said, "Those who talk about right and wrong are right and wrong." This means that people who like to talk about other people's rights and wrongs are the ones who often stir up "right and wrong" in life. These people are "villains" and you must stay away, otherwise they may cause you unexpected trouble.

Speaking of this, there is a famous figure in history, that is Shen Kuo, a scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty and the author of "Meng Qian's Bi Tan".

Although "Songshi" spoke highly of him, he said: "He is learned and good at writing. He has written books on astronomy, local chronicles, law and calendar, music, medicine and divination." However, After his death, no one erected a monument for him, let alone wrote an epitaph for him. Even his biography is only appended to "The Biography of Lu Shen in the Song Dynasty".

Why did Shen Kuo, who has made great contributions in the field of science and technology, reach this point? The reason is that he is really a person with low self-esteem in life.

Let’s first look at his experience with Wang Anshi. Shen Guoben and Wang Anshi were family friends. Wang Anshi wrote his father's epitaph. When Wang Anshi was prime minister, Shen Kuo was a loyal supporter of his reforms.

However, after the reform failed and Wang Anshi was deposed, Shen Kuo broke his promise and died on the rocks. He immediately drafted a 10,000-word book for the new prime minister Wu Chong, demonstrating the absurdity of Wang Anshi's new law from the perspectives of political science and natural science. He betrayed his leader and friend Wang Anshi. The angry Wang Anshi never called Shen Kuo by his name, but called him "Ren Ren". The so-called Ren Ren is a person who pleases both sides, commonly known as a villain.

Su Shi suffered a big loss from Shen Kuo. When Su Shi arrived in Hangzhou, Shen Kuo came to see him. After "He Shi Talks about the Old", he copied Su Shi's new works. However, when he returned to the capital, he immediately "annotated" all the scriptures that were considered libelous. He falsely claimed that these verses were evil, opposed to "reform", satirized the emperor, etc. and handed them over.

Soon after, Su Shi was imprisoned for "fooling the court" and "lack of feeling like a monarch and his ministers" in his poems, and almost died.

For example, Su Shi

"From the root to Jiuquan, there is no bend there. The world only knows the dragon with thorns." "The emperor is like a flying dragon in the sky, but Su Shi wants to find a thorny dragon under Jiuquan." Dragon. Besides, there is nothing I can do!"

This is the famous "Wutai Poetry Case" in the history of prisons, involving more than 30 relatives and friends of Su Shi and more than 100 poems.

This woman with a long tongue is best at catching wind and shadow. A casual remark, or a small thing that you don't understand, may be caught by them, causing big trouble and hurting you. So, try to stay away from these people.

Talk about people's rights and wrongs, hurt others and hurt yourself, say more good things and don't mention right and wrong. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva originally swore to warn the world: 'Those who stir up trouble and cause others to quarrel will be punished with a tongueless tongue. ’

You should also pay attention to the fact that news must be unpretentious. Don't add fuel to the fire or add fuel to the fire, otherwise it will turn into gossip.

A person who stays away from right and wrong. If you don’t listen to right and wrong, right and wrong will naturally leave you.

The middle class who is "right to things but not to people"

If the lower class is the one who says "right people and wrong people", then the middle class likes "right people and wrong people" ". They usually have a clear position for themselves, and their ideal is to make the most of what they are good at.

In their work, they are the implementers of strategy. They often want to do less but better things, pursue perfection in personal work, and are good at having fun. As the backbone, they can perform well in their jurisdiction. In short, all their actions are geared toward solving real problems.

In modern society, they may be senior experts and scholars in a certain field, middle-level leaders of enterprises, or they may be scholars who turn a deaf ear to things happening outside the window. In ancient times, they were collectively called "generals".

"General talents" are suitable to lead by example and take the lead in setting an example.

If you put it in a good place, it will definitely end badly. As we all know, there is a famous saying, "Maple sugar is easy to grow old, but Li Guang cannot seal it." Li Guang was a famous flying general in the Han Dynasty who made great achievements in archery and journey to the West.

According to historical records, Li Guang has been an official for more than 40 years. His salary was as high as 2,000 shi, but his family had no more money and he did not buy any land or houses. He gave all his wages to those in need. He treated his soldiers like his own sons. Every time he leads the troops, he must check carefully: when the soldiers eat, he eats it himself; when marching in places where water is scarce, when the soldiers drink water, he drinks it himself. All difficulties are solved first.

He not only cares about his soldiers, but also worships his enemy, the Xiongnu Chanyu.

However, a generation of generals failed to obtain this title throughout their lives. What is the reason for this? Is it bad luck? Or was it deliberately excluded? Didn’t Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty have the wisdom to recognize people?

Of course not. At best, Li Guang only targets "general talents" rather than "commanding ability." It is undeniable that Li Guang fought bravely and had great personal charm. The soldiers liked him very much. However, his troops are casual, simple and convenient. The troops marched at will, not in square formations, but according to their own will. The troops were stationed just to see if they were near water plants. Once they're in, everyone has their own way. They don't patrol at night. Communication files can be simplified and saved.

It was this kind of dictatorship that caused Li Guang to lose his way during the war between Wei Qing and the Huns. It wasn't until the end of the battle that he found Wei Qing's main force.

Several ministers in the palace at that time were often compared to Li Guang by Cheng. Cheng Can cannot be a governor. He was very strict in his management of the army. When marching, he lined up and arranged everything according to rules and regulations. A hierarchical chain of command with clear responsibilities for troops operating abroad. Even when resting, when people don't understand armor and horses, and don't take off their saddles, they are on high alert.

His troops never won or lost a major battle. They always go out in groups. Withdrawal is also done gradually in batches. In front and behind, the flags of the entire army were in order. There are no big wins or losses.

A minister once said: "Li Guang pursues simplicity in governing the army. Victory may be beautiful, and failure may be exciting. Although Cheng Can cannot unify the army, despite difficulties, he does not make any mistakes."< /p>

It is true that Li Guang is an excellent labor model and heroic warrior, but he is still not an excellent management talent.

So middle-class people are suitable for middle-class jobs. Through their practical efforts, it is conducive to doing specific work well. Doing everything well with all your heart is also a meaningful life.

Only the upper class model.

What is most needed right now is big models. People who have great achievements must have great achievements, and people who have small achievements rarely succeed. They often like to stand at the highest point of a problem, do not care about the gains and losses of a pool or a city, and take the overall situation as their own responsibility.

Those who pursue greatness first emphasize the pattern. When two parties compete, the final result also depends on the leadership model of both parties. The most typical example in history is the Chu-Han War.

During Qin Shihuang’s parade, the battle between chariots and horses was majestic. Xiang Yu of Cheng Peng said in the crowd: "He can take his place." Liu Bang of Peixian County said, "This is how men should be." Judging from these two sentences, it not only reflects the difference in their personalities, but also reflects the difference in their models.

Xiang Yu has been a nobleman of Chu for generations. His grandfather Xiang Yan was a general in Chu State. Fighting against Qin, he was killed by the Qin army and later destroyed by the Chu state. Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang were trapped in the Chu state. At this time, when Xiang Yu saw Qin Shihuang, he remembered the hatred of his country's subjugation and the hatred of his ancestors. "He can be replaced." Xiang Yu's highest ideal is to destroy Qin and restore the glory of Chu. This is the pattern of Xiang Yu of Chu State.

Liu Bang is an ordinary person from generation to generation. Liu Bang's hatred for the Qin Dynasty that lost Chu was not as deep as Xiang Yu's. Liu Bang just felt that men should not be mediocre, they should do great things with Liu Bang, and they should be as majestic as Qin Shihuang.

Because of this, Liu Bang did not dare to be the king of Chu. Xiang Yu is a noble of Chu State, not the king of Chu. All he wanted to do was become Qin Shihuang. From this perspective, Xiang Yu's model is Chu, and Liu Bang's model is Tianxia.

Chu and Han fought for four years. Xiang Yu was victorious in almost every battle, while Liu Bang was victorious in almost every battle. But Xiang Yu's strength will be weakened with each victory, while Liu Bang's strength will be further accumulated after each defeat.

With Liu Bang's army almost completely wiped out, several battles would come to an end, and Liu Bang would make a comeback every time.

Xiang Yu only focused on the battle in front of him, but Liu Bang's mind was always focused on the overall situation of the war. He doesn't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, nor does he care about the success or failure of a battle.

In the battle of Gaixia, Xiang Yu, who had won many battles, committed suicide in Wujiang River, which always brought tears to the eyes of the hero. Liu Bang, who had suffered repeated defeats, toasted to celebrate his successes and failures.

So the pattern determines the outcome, and the achievements will be as great as the pattern.

This is the third class of Chinese society. Tao gives birth to one, one, two, two, three, all things. These three people constitute the vast world of Chinese society.

Those who understand others are smart, and those who understand themselves are smart. Knowing yourself, your own limitations, and constantly improving your own way of being a person is the best way for classes to attack each other.
