Yi Feng, a Confucian scholar in the Western Han Dynasty, said, "I learned the important things of Tao from my teacher. People are sincere, sincere, although stupid and useful; If you are evil, you will know the benefits and harm. I dare not say bad words. "
Yi Feng believes that it is most important for management to know the personality of subordinates. That is, if a person pursues good conduct, he can be reused even if he is stupid and incompetent. If he has evil thoughts and bad conduct, the more knowledge he has, the greater harm he will do to society. Of course, he can't be entrusted with an important task.
This also applies to modern society, whether managers or we get along with people.
Second, talent selection.
Shi was a leader of southeast literary circles in Qing Dynasty, a great Confucian scholar, and once served as a political official in Shandong.
His view of talent is "learn from scholars before writing", and he will never go against his heart for human feelings. He would rather "fight for this position" than "lose a scholar" because of "favoritism"
He pays attention to the education of reputation, and also thinks that talents should first look at the good and evil of personality, and then look at the quality of articles. The selection of talents is also based on the principle of justice.
I have to admire that the ancients really distinguished the priorities of ability and conduct, and persisted, which is worth learning today.
Three housing concepts
Li Ling, a sage in the Northern Song Dynasty, had a view of residence: the family advised governance first, but did not answer. Because of the second language, Di Wei said, "If you eat well, you can give it horizontally or count the packages. But when you read Neijing, you can be satisfied with this world. The new house in this city will take a year to complete, and life cannot be guaranteed. How can you stay long? A branch of the nest forest, talk about self-sufficiency, and live in peace? "
The prime minister doesn't care about real estate, thinking that he is a stranger. Life anywhere is temporary, and the world is flawed. Why do you need to build a big house? It can't last long! Since it is not satisfactory, I am content to live in a small house.
It's really hard to fill the gap, thinking thoroughly and saving a lot of trouble! Therefore, he is a sage of the Northern Song Dynasty!
The wisdom of Siliu's mother
Lu, the mother of Liu Zongyuan, the mother of great wisdom, comforted her distressed son when his son was depressed because of political frustration and relegation: You were disrespectful in those days, and now you have to set an example, just for fear. If you can, why do I hate it! Wise men don't mourn the past, and I never feel sad.
It means: just pay attention to how big the matter is in the future. Don't torture yourself today with past sadness. Mom is with you, and there is happiness when someone is here. In the face of the death of her husband, the frustration of her son, and the death of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, isn't her mother sad? It's just that she understands that life can't always live in the pain of yesterday. She should look forward optimistically and move on with her life. These words comforted the painful Liu Zongyuan and touched me. The wisdom of life, ancient and modern!
