In 1924, when a group of professors from Harvard University in the United States conducted an experiment on "how to improve productivity" in a factory in Chicago, they discovered for the first time that interpersonal relationships are the key to improving work efficiency, thus proposing the concept of "interpersonal relationships." "The word. Interpersonal skills can make you feel comfortable interacting with others, and they are a powerful weapon for you to fight and struggle in the real world. This is what we say: "Be upright in doing things and be harmonious in life."

Let’s talk about Fang first. Doing things must be upright, which means that you must follow rules and laws when doing things, and never mess around. This truth has been passed down in China for thousands of years.

The Chinese people often say that "there are no rules without rules" and "you can only do something if you don't do something", which is the principle of "square".

Every profession has its own rules that must not be exceeded. For example, when you are an official, you must adhere to the principle of integrity, and you must be mentally prepared to endure poverty from the beginning, just like one of the "Eight Don'ts" in Zeng Guofan's family motto: to be an official, you must be honest and not be greedy. If the motivation for becoming an official is impure or gradually deteriorates, and an attempt is made to use power for personal gain or power and money, then the official will definitely not be a good official and will not last long.

The golden rule that businessmen must adhere to is the word "sincerity". A truly big businessman must conduct business with sincerity and seek development with sincerity. He will never use cunning or deceptive tactics to break trust in the world for petty profits or immediate gains and losses. For example, the tragedy that shocked the world when a commercial building collapsed in South Korea was because Korean construction contractors cut corners when constructing the building; for example, the Chinese turtle essence manufacturer was exposed because the turtle essence manufacturer actually produced no turtle. turtle spirit, for which they all violated the taboo of doing business.

Be a harmonious person. This roundness is by no means smooth and sophisticated, let alone mediocre and incompetent. This kind of roundness is roundness, a kind of generosity and accommodating, a wisdom that is as foolish as a fool, being kind to others, and a high degree of soundness and maturity of mind after being condescending and discerning. Don’t be aggressive because you understand the weaknesses of others, don’t be arrogant because you are better than others, and don’t make people feel oppressed or afraid by insisting on your own personality and opinions at any time. It will not make people feel that it is imposed on others... This requires extremely high quality, high understanding and skills. This is the noble state of being a human being.

The circle has the least pressure, the circle has the greatest tension, and the circle has the strongest plasticity.

This "circle" is easy to make but difficult to make. It is easy to do because if a person is truly wise and broad-minded, can truly be self-confident, have a peaceful mind, be kind-hearted, think on the bright side of everything, and be able to stand on the other side's side and consider others in everything, all human weaknesses can be overcome Forgive me, even if I meet the devil, I firmly believe that I can be superior. If I can really do that, what else can a person not do?

Of course, there are also some people who do not hesitate to keep silent for certain interests and purposes. Hold your breath, don't hesitate to please from all sides, and don't hesitate to be "round" on both sides. But there is absolutely an essential difference between this kind of "circle" and that kind of "circle". Behind this kind of "circle" is hypocrisy and ugliness.

Any success involves sacrifice. If someone can achieve the goal of being square on the inside and round on the outside, it must involve a lot of sacrifices. For example, if you have to do things in a "right" way, with rules and principles, it means that many things cannot be done and many things have to be done. This undoubtedly means that you will offend many people and annoy many people, which means that you must Giving up many benefits and even causing death.

To be a harmonious person, there will also be sacrifices. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your ego, sometimes you have to endure humiliation, misunderstanding, and even harm from your closest relatives and loved ones. For example, it is obvious that you are performing a sacred duty, but he thinks you are overjoyed at your success; it is obvious that you are far-sighted, but he thinks you are trying to please others.

Small sacrifices bring small successes, big sacrifices bring big successes. Those who can achieve "square" and "round" without feeling that it is a kind of sacrifice or pain are great successes and great realms; those who can bear sacrifices for the sake of "square" and "round" are small successes and small realms. ; Those who are unwilling to sacrifice and cannot achieve "square" and "round" are unsuccessful.

The Fangyuan Way contains the way to success. If we master the Fangyuan Way of doing things and being a human being, success will be very close to us.
