Be kind and smart!

I once heard a story about Li Ka-shing, the richest Chinese man in the world: Once after Li Ka-shing’s banquet, he walked out of the hotel and when he reached out to take out a handkerchief from his pocket, a Hong Kong dollar copper plate fell out and rolled into the ditch. When Mr. Li tried to pick up the copper plate, the hotel waiter quickly came forward, picked up the copper plate, wiped it clean, and handed it back to Mr. Li. Li Ka-shing took back the copper plate, opened his wallet, took out one hundred Hong Kong dollars, and thanked the waiter for his help. Mr. Li took back a copper plate, but gave him a tip of 100 yuan.

Mr. Li's own explanation for this story is: Every dollar has a purpose and should not be wasted casually. He wants to pick up the copper coins so that every dollar can play its due value. Expressing gratitude for others' services is the courtesy that everyone should have. A tip of 100 yuan is a sign of his kindness to others. These are two things. He didn't pay a hundred yuan for a copper plate.

"Be kind and shrewd" is the attitude passed down from the family of another Taiwanese entrepreneur, Zheng Shihua, chairman of Kanghe Securities Group. Zheng Shihua's father taught Zheng Shihua that as long as he follows these eight words, his career will be successful. success. And these eight words also confirm the basic logic of Li Ka-shing's life.

Zheng Shihua admits that he must calculate every step of his work to maximize the benefits within the period and earn the maximum benefit with the minimum amount of money. But that's not the case as a human being. You should be as tolerant to everyone as possible and be kind, so that you can build many good relationships.

The actions of Mr. Li Ka-shing are the best reflection of these eight words.
