In life, the development of many people is often limited by their own "limitations". They have no direction in life, cannot see the future clearly, and ultimately fail. Those who plan for big things must plan the overall situation. For the chess game of life, we must first enlarge our own layout. The big picture means approaching life from a big perspective, striving to stand higher, see further, and do greater things. The big picture determines the direction of development of things. If you control the big picture, you will control the situation.
Rely on your character to do things, don’t be "smart"
"Morality is like the source of water, talent is like the waves of water." If your character is not up to standard, you will not succeed in doing things. Yes, this is an eternal truth. No matter how smart or capable a person is, or how good his background is, if he does not know how to behave and has a poor character, his career will be greatly affected. Only by being a human being first can we accomplish great things. This is an ancient saying. Our ancestors have long emphasized the importance of "being a human being first".
Ability is very important, but there is one thing more important than ability, and that is character. Character is a person's true highest degree of education, the basis for displaying one's abilities, and a rare and precious quality label in today's society. Character and ability are like the left hand and the right hand: if you only have ability, but without character, a person will be incomplete. Good character can change a person's bad Feng Shui and make good Feng Shui even better; while bad character can corrupt good Feng Shui, and even the best Feng Shui will not be able to work.
Character is the most effective passport, and kindness is the highest shrewdness. To be virtuous is to embrace all things with kindness. The earth, with its vast virtues, contains all things and accommodates all things. A gentleman should imitate the earth, be virtuous and tolerate things. Morality is a kind of open mind that can tolerate different people, different opinions, and the faults of others.
