"The world is greater than us and will not act according to our ideas; We are smaller than the world and must follow its laws. " Benjamin Whichcote's famous saying and Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching's opening "Tao can be Tao, it is extraordinary. The name can be named, very famous. " Have the same effect.

The laws of nature, life and material world are objective, which can neither be created nor destroyed by human beings. What we need to do is to follow and correctly understand the laws of nature, life and the world. On this basis, we can give full play to our subjective initiative and seek real fame and profit from it, which is also the great wisdom of taking advantage of the trend.

From ancient times to the present, success can only be achieved by following the trend, otherwise, it will be doomed to failure.

Zhuge Liang is an outstanding politician, strategist and diplomat in the history of our country. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, together with generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, invited Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain and pacify the world. Zhuge Liang gave Liu Bei an analysis of the situation in the world at that time, and described the strategic vision of "a tripartite confrontation" with Cao and Sun Cheng. Then help Liu Bei win three points of the world and help him establish Shu Han.

Mr. Zhuge is ingenious, and he doesn't know the world's "situation" without knowing it. In "Longzhong Dui", the conversation between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang was recorded, which became a masterpiece through the ages and has important research value in China's politics and military affairs.

However, in the later period, the Han Dynasty was decadent and civil wars continued. It is necessary to know that only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world, but the people are displaced, and it has become an inevitable trend in history to overthrow the old Han Dynasty and establish a new one.

before his death, Liu Bei entrusted his son Liu Chan and his country to Zhuge Liang, who devoted all his life to the restoration of the Han Dynasty, and finally died of overwork. At the last moment of his life, Zhuge Liang told the secret not to send out obituary, and slowly withdrew (at that time, Sima Yi led the army to pursue, and saw the handsome flag of Shu Han army flying, and Kong Mingyu was sitting in the car with a black silk scarf. Sima Yi suspected that Kongming had tricked the enemy, so he quickly mounted his horse to retreat, so there was a proverb that "the dead Zhuge scared away and gave birth to Zhong Da"), and the army was able to reach Chengdu safely.

Zhuge Liang, with his proud talent and ability, acted according to the current situation, helped Liu Bei win the world and was admired by the world for his great wisdom. Zhuge Liang went against the trend to serve the monarch and made many northern expeditions, which weakened his national strength and retreated to the city. But his character and personality are praised by the whole world.

In ancient times, there were Zhuge, but there were Ma Yun. They were all spokesmen who took advantage of the situation.

Ma Yun has been at the forefront of Internet finance since he created Alibaba from the very beginning.

In p>22, China has initially achieved a well-off society, which means that the golden age of China's retail industry is coming. For Ma Yun, who is well versed in the current situation, in May, 23, he established a personal online trading platform, Taobao, in Ali, and gained a deep understanding of consumers' psychology, and made a "marketing killer" before and after, conforming to the basic laws of business, so as to follow the trend and achieve success.

The birth and rapid development of Taobao, in Ma Yun's words, is not their greatness, but the strength of the trend!

Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, said in an earlier interview that he is not smarter than Ma Yun, and his success lies in these four words-follow the trend. Lei Jun didn't understand until he was 4 years old. He told us that "people must follow the trend".

No matter Zhuge Liang or Ma Yun, they have played a subjective initiative in following the regular development of things, learning little by little, accumulating for a long time, thinking as a whole, and being neither arrogant nor dry, so as to achieve success. This is the law of the development of things, and it is also one of the essences to be expressed in the Tao Te Ching. More essences are all in the Tao Te Ching, which needs us to dig and understand.

Tao Te Ching is the work of Laozi and a work of great wisdom in life philosophy. This book is a collection of classics, calligraphy, beautiful pictures and chanting-the inside pages contain the rare running script of the calligrapher Zhao Mengfu, the annotation of Bai Yuchan, the founder of Taoist Elixir School, the illustrations of four monks such as Badashanren, the vernacular interpretation of the prodigy Jiang Xizhang of the Republic of China, and the elegant chanting reader passed down from mouth to mouth by Ming Dow, which is the most valuable book of Tao Te Ching.

While appreciating the beauty of calligraphy and illustration, it's great fun to read the great wisdom of Laozi's 5, words, and wait for a book in hand to realize the true meaning of life.
