Once, when the barber was shaving Premier Zhou, the Premier suddenly coughed and the knife immediately scratched his face. The barber was very nervous and at a loss, but to his surprise, Premier Zhou didn't blame him, but kindly said to him, It's not your fault. I didn't say hello to you before coughing. What's the matter with you? Do you know I'm moving? Although this is a trivial matter, it shows us the virtue of Premier Zhou-tolerance.
2. Four sweets from Mr. Tao Xingzhi.
As early as more than half a century ago, Mr. Tao Xingzhi infiltrated the idea of democracy and tolerance into his educational practice and made it play a wonderful role.
When Mr. Tao Xingzhi was the principal, one day he saw a boy hitting his classmate with a brick, so he stopped him and told him to go to the principal's office. When President Tao returned to the office, the boy was already waiting there. Tao Xingzhi took out a candy for this classmate: This is a reward for you, because you got to the office before me. Then he took out another candy and said, this is for you, too. I won't let you hit your classmates, so you stopped at once, which shows that you respect me.
The boy took the second candy in doubt, and Mr. Tao added: As far as I know, you beat your classmate because he bullied girls, which shows that you have a sense of justice. I will reward you with another candy.
At this time, the boy was moved to tears and said, principal, I was wrong. If my classmates are wrong again, I can't take this way.
Mr. Tao then took out another candy: you have admitted your mistake, and I will reward you with another piece. I ran out of candy and our conversation was over.
The Story of Four Candies by Mr. Tao Xingzhi embodies the charm of tolerance and shines with the wisdom of educators. Tolerance is a beautiful educational emotion. Education needs tolerance, which needs to be given a living space and revived. As the saying goes: too much is too late, and sometimes too many constraints and too tight constraints are not conducive to development.
Tolerance is a kind of wisdom and strength.
Picasso didn't care about fake paintings pretending to be his works, and he never paid attention to them. When you see the fake he painted, you can only erase the forged signature at most.
Why should I make a mountain out of a molehill Picasso said that people who fake paintings are either poor painters or old friends. I'm Spanish. I can't embarrass my old friends. Besides, the experts who identify the original work also have to eat, and I didn't suffer.
An upright man is open and poised. Tolerance is sometimes the greatest favor to others. A little casual or intentional tolerance can make people happy. Why not?
4. Napoleon's tolerance
Napoleon developed the virtue of tolerating others in his long military career. As the commander-in-chief of the whole army, it often happens to criticize soldiers, but every time they are not domineering, they can take care of the soldiers' emotions. Soldiers often readily accept his criticism and are full of love and gratitude to him, which greatly enhances the combat effectiveness and cohesion of his army and becomes a powerful force in the European continent.
In the battle to conquer Italy, the soldiers worked hard. Napoleon patrolled the post at night. During the patrol, he found a patrolling soldier leaning against a big tree and falling asleep. Instead of waking the soldiers, he picked up a gun and stood up for him. About half an hour later, the sentry woke up from a deep sleep. He recognized his supreme commander and was very scared.
Napoleon was not angry. He said to him kindly, friend, this is your gun. You have worked hard and walked such a long way. It is understandable and tolerable for you to doze off, but at present, a moment's negligence may ruin the whole army. I was not sleepy, so I stood for you for a while. I must be careful next time.
Napoleon didn't swear, didn't reprimand loudly, and didn't put on airs as a marshal. Instead, he criticized the soldiers' mistakes with a serious and gentle breeze and drizzle. With such a generous marshal, how can soldiers not fight bravely? If Napoleon did not tolerate soldiers, it would only increase their sense of resistance, lose his prestige among soldiers and weaken the combat effectiveness of the army.
There is a story in Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times.
After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, prepared for the northern expedition to the Central Plains. Meng Huo, the leader of ethnic minorities at that time, launched a rebellion in southern Sichuan, that is, at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou. Zhuge Liang decided to personally lead the troops to quell the rebellion and relieve his worries first. It was suggested that sending a general south was enough to destroy Meng Huo, so that the Prime Minister would not have to go deep into the barren land. But Zhuge Liang saw further, and he had to be kind to Meng Huo in order to win people's hearts.
Meng Huo is courageous and loyal, and enjoys great prestige among ethnic minorities. Zhuge Liang ordered his men not to hurt Meng Huo, but to take him alive.
In the first battle, the Shu army captured Meng Huo under the command of Zhuge Liang. The soldiers put Meng Huo into the camp, Zhuge Liang untied him himself and asked people to give him a banquet.
The next day, after Zhuge Liang accompanied him to visit the Shu military camp, he asked Meng Huo: What about our military camp? Instead of praising, Meng Huo said, that's it. I didn't know your truth before, so I was defeated. Now that I have seen your deployment, if you let me go back, I will definitely beat you in another battle.
Zhuge Liang smiled and let Meng Huo go. A few days later, Meng Huo led the troops to challenge and was defeated and captured. Being a man? Meng Huo still refused to admit defeat, and Zhuge Liang let him go again.
Meng Huo fought against Zhuge Liang again and again, fighting seven times in a row and being captured seven times. Escort Meng Huo to the camp of the Shu army for the last time. The soldier handed down Zhuge Liang's orders and said: The Prime Minister didn't want to see Meng Huo again, so he ordered Meng Huo to go back and let him tidy up his troops before deciding the outcome.
Meng Huo thought for a long time and said, "This has never happened since ancient times. The Prime Minister gave me great face. Although I don't have much knowledge, I also know the truth of being a man. How can I lose face to the Prime Minister like that? " ! After that, he knelt on the ground and said with tears: Prime Minister Tianwei, we will never rebel again!
Zhuge Liang is very happy. He quickly helped Meng Huo up, invited him into the camp, hosted a banquet, and finally politely sent Meng Huo out of the camp and let him go back.
From then on, Meng Huo went his own way and surrendered to Shu Han. Until Zhuge Liang died, he did not rebel. This objectively cleared the worries for Shu Han to send troops to the Central Plains, and greatly promoted the life stability and economic development of ethnic minorities in southwest China. The wisdom of tolerance:
Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times and showed his wisdom and tolerance incisively and vividly, winning long-term stability on one side.
Tolerance is an acceptance, letting bygones be bygones, and embracing everything with a broad mind. Only those who can accept the world can get the world. Those successful people can achieve great things because of their understanding of tolerance.
