Isn’t it possible that such a huge country doesn’t even understand this trivial matter? Finally, an old minister who resigned said he had a solution. The emperor invited the envoy to the main hall. The old minister confidently held three straws and inserted them into the ears of the first golden man. The straws came out from the other ear. The second golden man's straw fell directly from his mouth, while the third golden man's straw fell into his stomach without making any sound. The veteran said: The third golden man is the most valuable! The messenger was silent and the answer was correct.

Being good at listening is the most basic quality of a mature person.

4. Everyone who has been to the temple knows that as soon as you enter the temple door, the first thing you see is Amitabha Buddha, who greets guests with a smile, and to the north of him is Wei Tuo, who has a black mouth and a black face. But according to legend, a long time ago, they were not in the same temple, but were in charge of different temples.
Maitreya Buddha was enthusiastic and happy, so many people came, but he didn't care about anything, was careless, and didn't manage the accounts well, so he still couldn't make ends meet. Although Wei Tuo was a good accountant, he had a gloomy face and was too serious all day long, which led to fewer and fewer people, and finally the incense was cut off. The Buddha discovered this problem when he was checking the incense, so he put them both in the same temple. Maitreya Buddha was in charge of public relations and welcomed guests from all directions with a smile, so the incense flourished. However, Wei Tuo was selfless and meticulous, so he was asked to be responsible for the finances and strictly control them. Through the division of labor and cooperation between the two, the temple was flourishing. In fact, in the eyes of a master employer, there is no useless person. Just like a master of martial arts, he can hurt people by picking flowers and flying leaves without a precious sword. The key is how to use it.
