As the saying goes, haste makes waste. This is Confucius' way of life, so how much do you know about its profound meaning? Let's understand and learn together: [original]

In the summer, I am the father of Ju, asking about politics. Confucius said:? No haste, no gain. Haste makes waste, and great things can't be achieved if you see small profits. The Analects of Confucius? Zi Lu

[today's solution]

In the summer, the chief executive of Ju's father's land asked how to manage political affairs. Confucius said:? Don't try to achieve something quickly, and don't covet small profits. If you want to be quick, you can't achieve the expected results, and you can't do great things for small profits. ?

Zixia is very talented and famous for his literature, but he has peaks and valleys. The shortcomings are also obvious. Confucius liked him very much and always guided him to make continuous progress.

Zixia became a father-in-law, and asked Confucius about politics.

Confucius gave him specific instructions on how to be a good father and a good butcher, aiming at the shortcomings of being quick in doing things and not far-sighted in Zixia.

Confucius said: Don't be quick, don't be greedy for small profits. Haste makes waste. If you don't proceed from reality and blindly seek for speed, you will not achieve the expected purpose. If you see small profits, you can't achieve great things, and if you are greedy for small profits, you can't achieve great things. ?

zixia said gratefully. Thank you for your timely guidance! ? Haste makes waste? , cut to the point that I am eager for success and quick success; ? If you see a small profit, will it be a big deal? , hit the nail on the head

The difference between the shortest and the fastest

One day, a small clerk was rushing to work. On that day, his company had a very important meeting. The content of the meeting was related to whether he could be promoted, so he couldn't be late. Unfortunately, his alarm clock broke down in the morning, and the worst thing was that the meeting would start in 2 minutes.

The junior staff had to take a taxi, hoping to attend the meeting in time.

He finally stopped a taxi. After getting on the bus in a hurry, he said to the driver. Driver, I'm in a hurry. Please take the shortest route! ?

the driver asked. Sir, which way is the shortest or the fastest?

The clerk asked curiously: Isn't the shortest way the fastest?

? Of course not. It's rush hour now, and the shortest road will be jammed with traffic. If you're in a hurry, you'll have to take a detour. Although it's a little more, it's the fastest way. ?

after hearing the driver's words, the clerk finally chose the fastest way. On the way, he saw a street not far away with traffic jams, and the driver explained that it was the shortest road.

what the driver said was right. It was clear to walk a little more. Although it was a long distance, it took a little more time, but it soon reached the destination.
