Solve China ancient prose, please great gods.

Learn and use the moral classic: be kind as water. Laozi said: Be kind as water. There is no doubt that water is good for everything. Chapter 8 of Tao Te Ching: Good as water. Water is good for all things without dispute, and evil for all, so it is a few words. Living in a good place, kind-hearted, kind-hearted, good at words, good at politics, good at doing things, good at dealing with people. Husband is just indisputable, so there is nothing special. The classic interpretation of an Shi Lao Zi Zhu said: "Water is good for all things, and all things are born of water. But the nature of water is soft to weak, so there is no dispute. Everyone is tall and evil, and everyone in the water is evil. " Yuan Wucheng's Notes on Moral Truth says: "Being a good person, being the first class, being the best, being a good person ... The goodness of building water, using it for irrigation, is beneficial to the work of all things, and it is a place that everyone hates and is filthy." In the Qing Dynasty, Wang Fuzhi's Lao Zi Yan said: "Water is the smallest of the five elements. Those who are good at living in the Tao are small and not doing it; After the crowd, and Changde is the first. " The interpretation of a story is most like water, which is beneficial to everything but does not compete with everything. Lao Tzu thinks that water is in the lowlands that everyone hates, close to the Tao. Laozi's further explanation of "good nature is like water" is: "Live in a good place, be kind in nature, be kind in heart, be kind in words, be good in government, be kind in deeds, and be good at times." My husband is not noisy, so it's nothing special. "It means: be content with the status quo, be as quiet as an abyss, communicate with people with a friendly heart, keep your word, act according to the laws of nature, do what you can, and be good at grasping the opportunity of action. Because we don't ask for results, we won't incur resentment. We are in a highly competitive society. " People's noise is for the benefit; People's noise is for profit. You can't be famous if you don't argue. You can't be rich without arguing. If you don't argue, you can't enjoy power. So, is Lao Tzu's emphasis on "indisputable" and "hated by all" self-indulgence and self-indulgence? Don't! What I mean by "indisputable" is not giving up competition, but "indisputable", which is an efficient competitive means to pursue Excellence. Why? Man is not a purely rational animal. In most cases, he "follows his feelings" instead of acting according to his wisdom. The habit of ordinary people is to hold powerful people, hold celebrities' thighs, compete for benefits and compete with each other. If you do things like an ordinary person, you will eventually beat the other person's head off like an ordinary person, but your income is very limited. There are two smartest ways. The first way is to help others get benefits instead of asking for them, so that they will follow you faithfully. "Powerful people are invincible in the world; Wise men are fearless, so are saints. As long as you get help from others, your achievements will be far above others. The second way is to stay quietly and pick up the interests abandoned or invisible by others. This is also an "indisputable" strategy, and your gains will be far above ordinary people. How to win in the "indisputable dispute"? Laozi put forward seven means: being kind, being kind, being kind, being kind, being good at politics, doing good deeds and being good at times. The following are introduced separately. Stay where you belong. What is "living in a good place"? That is, live in your proper position. In layman's terms, it means "stay where you belong". Where should I live? It is difficult to generalize. It depends on whether your talent is commensurate with this position and whether your values and personality are compatible with this team. If you stand in the wrong position, your position will definitely be unstable and even dangerous. Whether you stand properly or not does not depend entirely on your talent. Jiang Ziya's talent is enough to be prime minister, but even Shang Zhouwang's small officials can't be, so he has to run away; And some people are mediocre and corrupt, but they can live in high positions. This is a question of whether values are compatible. The compatibility of personal values and team values is a key issue that we need to consider when choosing a position in life. It should be noted that the future of this team is not optimistic if a person with general talent can feel like a duck to water. Jiang Ziya fled the Shang Dynasty, and Tao Yuanming lived in seclusion in the countryside, because they knew that it was not the place where they should stay. These are typical examples of "living in a good place" and are worth learning from. Assuming that the company we serve makes money by illegal means that harms the interests of consumers, it is undoubtedly a "short-lived" company, so you should consider whether this is the place where you should stay. We should also see that settling down is by no means complacency. People should study hard and improve their talents so that they can be competent for more important jobs. A person who is satisfied with his known knowledge and spends a good time in mediocrity is not really living in his proper position. In ancient times, there was an official who made contributions to the king in his early years, but he was not promoted for more than ten years. Some people below him gradually became his superiors. The official is very dissatisfied with his situation. One day, he complained to the king, "You treat people like firewood. You always put the back on top and forget all the stressed people. " The king said, "I haven't forgotten you. I dare not neglect my official duties! "The world is changing with each passing day, and new things and problems occur every day, requiring new knowledge to perform their duties. Therefore, I can only hire talents with these new knowledge. What about you? You work step by step every day and live a leisurely life. Have you ever paid attention to your study? People can't live without learning, and they can't live without learning! After listening to what you just said, I think you have become less learned recently! " The official looked ashamed and bowed his head. This official doesn't want to be overwhelmed by others, but he doesn't try to put his talents above others, which is just the opposite of "living in a good place". As clear and calm as water in late autumn, what is "kindness"? In other words, the heart should be as clear and calm as a deep pool and not disturbed by the external environment. How can we avoid being polluted and disturbed in the world of mortals? This requires cultivating a rock-solid heart. In ancient times, there was a senior official named Niu Hong who went to work by ox cart every day. My younger brother is stubborn, does not study, and loves martial arts. One day, Niu Hong was on a business trip, and his younger brother was as drunk as a fiddler. He was practicing archery in the yard by the power of alcohol, and he didn't want to hit the cow with one arrow. Knowing that he was in trouble, he was so scared that he quickly hid. When Niu Hong came back from work, his wife complained to him, "Grandpa got drunk and killed the cow." Niu Hong casually said, "If the cow is killed, it is braised beef." Tired, the wife lowered her head and went to the kitchen to cook braised beef without saying a word. After a while, she went to her husband to complain: "There is too much braised beef." Niu Hong was reading a book and said without looking up, "You can make soup if you can't finish braising in soy sauce." My wife is getting more and more boring, so I have to stew soup. After a while, she felt that this matter had to be discussed, so she complained to her husband, "Where is the whole cow? Too much stew! " Niu Hong said flatly, "If there is more stew, make beef jerky." The wife thinks that her husband's self-restraint is really high. By contrast, she is far from it, and she is ashamed. After that, she never mentioned shooting cows again. As for his younger brother, he thinks his younger brother is really cultured, all because of his knowledge! From then on, he put away his stubborn heart, studied hard and finally became a promising person. Niu Hong's method of dealing with problems may not be the best, but his self-restraint efforts, which are not disturbed by the external environment, can really be regarded as "kindness". Respect the strong and praise the weak. What is "kindness and benevolence"? In other words, be friendly with people. Respect the strong, understand and praise the weak. Many people can maintain enough respect for the strong, but despise the weak; Or show closeness to the weak, but exclude the strong. This is not true "kindness". There is a good saying, "how you treat others, others will treat you in the same way." If you can be kind to the strong and the weak, you can gain the strength of everyone and do anything. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Tian Ji left Qi and fled to Chu. The king of Chu personally greeted him in the suburbs and asked about the military situation of Qi. Tian Ji said: "If the State of Qi sends Shen Ru as the main general, the State of Chu only needs to send 50,000 troops home in triumph; If Qi sent Tian Ju as the main general, Chu sent 200,000 troops, regardless of the outcome. If the State of Qi sends a son to be a general, the State of Chu will send troops. Even so, it can only avoid national subjugation. " The king of Chu asked why? Tian Ji said, "Shen Ru is arrogant and conceited. He despises talented people and ordinary people. Talented people and mediocre people don't want to work for him, so I expect him to lose every battle; Tian Ju is an upright and polite man, but he despises mediocrity. Capable people are willing to work for him, but mediocre people are alienated from Germany. Therefore, I expect him to win or lose equally; As for the Nazis, he respected capable people and cherished mediocre people. So everyone is willing to do their best for him. So I expect that you will only survive the confrontation with him! " Later, the State of Qi sent Shen Ru as a general to attack Chu, and the king of Chu followed Tian Ji's advice and sent only 50,000 people to meet them, which won a great victory. Later, Qi sent a prodigal son to attack Chu, and the king of Chu personally took the lead and dispatched national troops to meet the enemy. He still failed, but avoided national subjugation, as Tian Ji predicted in advance. Ran Zi, a person who respects capable people and cherishes mediocrity, is really "kind-hearted". What is "good words and good faith"? Is to keep your promise. The truth in the world is like that theorem in physics: action equals reaction. What you give others, you will get. A person is not trusted because he is not trustworthy; On the contrary, a person is trusted because he keeps his promise. This truth will be demonstrated later, so I don't need to go into details here. In terms of performance, what is "good governance"? Is to be loyal to your duties and speak with your achievements. At all times and in all countries, everything may be out of date, and no matter what ideas may be updated, that is, the law of "speaking with achievements" will never be out of date. If the performance is not good, it means that the company and the team are going to close down. Therefore, in this matter, we don't have to take any chances. Do your best. What is "doing good"? That is, do what you can. It's not bad to understand it as having the ability to do things. But the size of talent is relative to the difficulty of things. As Su Dongpo said: "It is impossible to surpass the North Sea by Mount Tai, so it must be done; Breaking branches for old people is not for it. "There are some things that we don't want to do. There's nothing we can do. But there are some things we can do, which are beneficial or not. Reluctantly doing what you can't do, or giving up doing what you can do, does not conform to the natural law of "doing things well and having the ability". Do things with the idea of being kind to others. What is "kindness"? That is, we should seize the opportunity properly. This is a question that is easier said than done. When is the right time? It all depends on everyone's vision and experience. Some people can do the right thing at the right time, while others let things happen at the wrong time and place. If our vision and experience are not enough, how can we be "good"? Asking for advice from experienced people is one way. Besides, it is generally not wrong to do it with the idea of being kind to others. If what you do is beneficial to others, it is always appropriate. Stephen Covey, an American business expert, said: "Think for yourself and don't forget the interests of others ... The world is big, everyone has enough living space, and the gains of others don't have to be regarded as their own losses. "A wise man won't be jealous of others' income. They always think about how to help others benefit, not take advantage of others. This is in line with Lao Tzu's principle that "water is good for all things and does not dispute", reminding people that the best way to succeed is to defeat the enemy without fighting.
