Selected passages:
Is a storyteller, born cautious, successful career, lost pride. If you don't worry, you won't live, if you don't work, you won't lose, and if you are not proud, you won't lose. Therefore, the market can know how to cure chaos and how much it can cure, not how much it can cure.
Translation:
In other words, things always come from deliberation, success comes from hard work, and failure comes from arrogance. You can't produce without thinking, you can't succeed without hard work, and you can't fail without pride. Therefore, through the market, we can be familiar with social chaos and the amount of material, but we can't create the amount of material through it. Mastering it is also regular.
Explanation of "born in nursing";
"Born of care" means taking precautions and thinking carefully. In the eyes of the ancients, you must think twice before you do anything, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, the key to doing one thing is not only to make a decision, but also to have execution and action, otherwise it will fall into the dilemma of "too slow". So, there is the second trick of "getting things done". The "service" here refers to hard work and practice.
In addition, in order to really accomplish one thing, we should always be alert to the stubborn disease of "pride" and always maintain the style of modesty, caution and arrogance. For more than 5,000 years, the gene of "modesty" has long been integrated into the blood of the Chinese nation.
