1. The rich eventually get married.

2. People are forced out.

3. If you are not mentally retarded, you cannot be a leader.

4. What are your motives for coming to this world?

5. It’s useless to think about plans, you’d better think about human nature!

6. If I give clothes to others, it is a promise of my body.

7. There are two great tragedies in life: one is despair and the other is complacency.

8. In the past, when we drank a thousand glasses of wine, we knew it was already too short. Now, when we drink a thousand glasses of wine, we know it is too little.

9. A person’s biggest difficulty and obstacle does not come from the outside world, but from himself.

10. In fact, there is sincerity in cunning. Sometimes cunning, sometimes sincere, is one of Cao Cao's characteristics.

11. When I make a choice, I only consider my morality and responsibility. If it fails, give it to God. I did it and I have no regrets.

12. Cao Cao wrote countless suggestions to the court from the central government to the local government, and from the local government to the central government. For example, there was no news about the mud cow entering the sea.

13. To endure hardship is to endure more hardship. Just like Yuan Shu did not endure hardship when he became emperor, Cao Cao still did not live in luxury after becoming prime minister. He had high emotional intelligence and good self-control, which determined that he was a big shot. So enduring hardship is not a luxury, enduring hardship is suffering

14. Liu Bei is still good at escaping. He is like a rat on a ship. He always seemed to be the first to realize which ship would capsize... First he followed Gongsun Zan to fight Yuan Shao, then he followed Cao Cao to fight Lu Bu, and he followed Yuan Shao to fight Cao Cao...

15. Many People who study history regard history as a corpse, put it on the dissecting table, cut it bit by bit with a scalpel, and take out the kidneys, liver and heart for study. This might be an approach, but I don't really like it. I come from literature. I think when facing history, we should first feel its flesh and blood and texture, and then talk about research.

16. It is always difficult for people to correct their shortcomings. It is always difficult for people to discover their own mistakes. Sometimes, you know you are wrong, but you cannot stop. If you are wrong, grasp the right direction and persist. According to your own principles, the world will tempt you, and the pie in the sky will never fall. Do not desire temporary happiness and pay the price of pain. If you find that you are wrong, you must stop.

17. The Chinese are like this: honest but tactful, honest but worldly, suspicious but gullible, affordable but loyal, etiquette but less ethical, moderate but extreme, beautiful and frugal but fond of ostentation, conservative. It is ancient yet fashionable, satisfying yet bursting with dreams, burning incense and telling fortunes but without any sense of religion. This is China. The contradictions are complex and difficult to summarize into one model.

18. The reduction of vassal vassals is not aimed at any particular prince, but at the system of prefectures and states. According to this system, the vassal kings had real power. They have their own territory, government, army and financial revenue, making them an independent kingdom. If the territory is large, the population is large, and the resources are abundant, its power is likely to exceed that of the central government, such as Liu Bi's Wu State. Wu State is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It is a fertile country and a land of plenty. The king of Wu could get money by frying mines and salt by boiling water. He became rich and powerful and could defeat his enemies. If things go on like this, it will inevitably become a big problem and become a thorn in the side of the central government. This requires clamping down, attacking, and weakening its power.

19. Now it seems that things may be good. Fortunately, these leaders did not have grand ideals and absolute claims at the time. There are some ideals, but not grandiose; there are also some propositions, but not absolute. If you are not grandiose, you can be pragmatic; if you are not absolute, you can discuss. The Federal Constitution was the result of discussions.

There is another premise that can be discussed, that is, everyone does not expect perfection. These simple, simple, true people understand; there are no perfect things and no perfect solutions. Better do your best. Therefore, they could basically accept Franklin's statement and agree that the Constitution was flawed, as all plans are flawed.

20. There are many opportunities in life. The key is to see if we can catch it. When an opportunity comes, we cannot see it all at once. It is veiled and not everyone can see clearly. We need to have enough insight and discernment. Otherwise, no matter how good the opportunity is, it will pass us by. A lot of people only see it for what it is when the opportunity passes and they have to get a chance to be with us. Love should be the spark produced by the collision of two hearts. There can't always be a spiritual collision. So if you have flowers, you can come down. Don't wait until there are no flowers and empty branches. People often don't know how to cherish it until it passes. Life without love is not a perfect life, nor is it a good life.

21. However, since Qin Shihuang initiated the centralized autocratic rule, the heroic age has begun to decline. The knee-jerk talk between monarchs and ministers has disappeared, instead of etiquette, and kowtows are like pounding garlic; the wandering consultants showing their talents around the world have disappeared, instead of forming cliques and currying favor with the powerful; the free debate of a hundred schools of thought has disappeared, and It is not about respecting Confucianism alone. Power and interests will become the dominant force and driving force, and personality and soul will be castrated and trampled, just like Wang Yi and Lu Matong trampled on Xiang Yu. So what we see is this picture: a tiger or leopard that represents heroic spirit and nobility dies alone on the grassland, while a group of vulgar wolves and mediocre sheep that represent power and interests rush up and trample the tiger or leopard , and then everyone has a leopard or tiger bone, ready to go back and invite meritorious deeds to be rewarded. Not long ago, they would not have dared to look into the eyes of a tiger or a leopard.
