Lao Tzu once preached in the "Tao Te Ching": The operation of the universe and the growth and reproduction of all things actually have rules to follow. This law is invisible and intangible, but it controls the fate of every life, including human beings, at all times. Lao Tzu calls it Tao. If you can understand Tao, you can also understand the world and yourself.

If a person wants to be successful and achieve a career, he must need the help of the people around him or the environment. Before that, you need to understand what others can offer and how they can help you. And you have how to do it yourself. All these answers are hidden in the wise sayings of the ancients, such as the following three points.

1. Heaven and earth carry the Tao. If the Tao exists, all things will come into being. If the Tao is lost, all things will perish.

The meaning of this sentence is that the movement of heaven and earth depends on Tao. Simply put, it has its own laws. Spring passes and autumn comes, flowers bloom and fade, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, etc. These are the laws of heaven and earth. If this law can exist and operate smoothly, all things can prosper and grow. Anyway, if this rule is broken, it will be extremely detrimental to the development of all things.

Putting this sentence to an individual, it means that everyone should abide by the Dao when doing things. There is a lot in it. To give a simple example, the most important thing for a person is to be humble. In the beginning, only by being humble can others have a good impression of you and think you are reliable. After you have achieved success, don't be arrogant and domineering, but still maintain a humble attitude. This way, others won't secretly slander you. Only by following the Dao can noble people appear easily.

When your career reaches its peak, you must learn to be satisfied and retire after success. Learning to start well and end well is also a sign of following the Dao.

2. The number of heaven is reversed when it reaches its peak, and it declines when it is prosperous. The scorching fire is about to be extinguished.

This sentence means that there is relativity in the laws of the movement of heaven and earth. For example, flowers bloom all summer and eventually wither. After the sun passes noon, the sunlight will gradually weaken. This is what is said when things go to extremes.

Where there is blessing, there is disaster, and where there is bitterness, there is sweetness. When a raging fire burns at its peak, it is not far away from being extinguished. How do you understand this sentence personally? Just like the last sentence of the first article, when people reach the limit of development, they must learn to stop and be content in order to protect themselves.

A truly promising person is not only able to strive for a career, but also has the courage to keep his career and give up his career. No one can own something forever, and learning to give up is the greatest wisdom.

3. Self-awareness makes one wise, self-victory makes one brave, self-destruction makes one humble, and self-improvement makes one successful.

The meaning of this sentence is very obvious. People who can fully understand themselves are wise, people who can defeat themselves are brave, people who give up on themselves are pathetic, people who can strengthen themselves are able Someone with great potential.

There is a saying that man's biggest enemy is actually himself. If you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. When competition exists, don't rush to understand your enemy first. Know where your flaws are and how to avoid being defeated, and then think about how to win.

To defeat yourself, what you actually defeat is your own desires, your own laziness and your own comfort zone. If a person can overcome these, he will definitely be promising and achieve a successful career. Some people are particularly weak in their ability to withstand stress and cannot recover after encountering some blows. Such people are so sad. Because many times he has stood in front of the victory gate, but fell down. Only by learning to be self-reliant can you move forward and achieve your dreams.
