As the ancients often said, "the most clumsy person in the world should be the smartest person in the world." Instead of making your future more difficult, you should make some clumsy efforts, step by step, lay a solid foundation and create more space for the future.
Cleverness can walk faster than others, but in fact its foundation and mentality are bound to be unstable, which will eventually lead to limited future achievements and mediocrity.
A really smart person will never blindly choose to take shortcuts and deliberately play tricks. Instead, he will choose to settle down, study diligently and deal with all his cleverness in a "clumsy" way.
-0 1- There is no difference between smart and stupid.
Wang Xifeng in A Dream of Red Mansions is a very smart person with outstanding talent and versatility. She has a deep understanding of the world and unusual management skills.
In the end, I ended up with a sad fate of "the authorities were fascinated and missed the life of Qingqing".
In fact, there is nothing wrong with being smart, but if you spend this smart effort on intrigue and competitiveness, then no matter how smart you are, you will be full of hostility, offend people everywhere, make people feel disgusted, and finally hurt yourself.
Confucius said, "Too much is too late" and everything should be moderate.
To be smart in life, you must be able to keep your advantage and hide your shrewdness!
Being too smart is the taboo of the wise.
The so-called way of life is to suppress but not to publicize, to hide but not to show.
Perhaps Wang Xifeng will not understand until his death that this self-righteous shrewdness is only harming himself, and it is also a stupid behavior in the eyes of others.
-02- people who achieve great things are not smart.
As the old saying goes, "Little cleverness can't raise great wisdom, nor can small calculations be called cleverness". A truly wise man is often stupid in the eyes of the world.
According to the Records of Historical Records:
When Confucius was young, he asked Laozi for the truth of being a man.
Lao Tzu said, "The Liang family hides Xu Ruo. A gentleman is virtuous and looks foolish. "
Lao Tzu told Confucius that a shrewd businessman would hide his goods from others. Rich as he is, he seems to have nothing. A gentleman of noble character is often like a stupid person, showing no emotion.
You must get rid of your pride and greed to become a saint.
The highest state of life is nothing more than "simplicity and clumsiness". It is better to maintain the simple and ignorant nature of a gentleman than to be smooth.
When organs fail, they seem to be smart, but they will ruin their own pattern, confine themselves to intrigue all their lives, guard against this and that all day, hang their hearts in the sky, lose sight of more beautiful scenery in life and lose the fun of life.
As the saying goes, "A fool is blessed with a fool". Even people who are smarter than fools never show their edge and always don't care much about keeping a low profile. Pattern is greater than "smart" people. Although the appearance is ordinary, the heart is extremely rich.
A shortcoming in the world is better than a shortcoming in the world.
Zeng Guofan once said: "It is forbidden to be clever, it is forbidden to be surplus, and it is forbidden to be two."
Writer Liu Zhenyun once said: "What our nation lacks most is stupid people. Because China people are too smart, the smarter they are, the more they should have a down-to-earth and hard-working spirit. "
You can't be smart. You should know the truth in a down-to-earth way. Opportunism will not last long.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and the gifts given by fate have already been priced.
There is no dream of getting rich overnight, so behind the success, it is the effort of "freezing in the cold".
Zeng Guofan is the person who knows the most stupid kung fu. He studied at a young age and was admitted to the Jinshi, relying on stupid kung fu.
When Zeng Guofan was a child, his father told him not to read the last sentence or the next sentence. If you don't finish reading this book, you won't touch the next one; Never sleep until you finish the task for a day.
He doesn't know skills and shortcuts. He only knows one way to darkness, and he won't look back until he reaches the south wall.
It is this "clumsy" way of learning that makes him cultivate an extraordinary spirit of diligence, assiduousness and sureness. It is this ignorance that has laid a good foundation for him and laid a foundation for his future promotion.
We will find that clumsy people don't know how to play tricks, but only know how to drill hard when encountering problems, so they don't leave any dead ends. On the contrary, smart people are unwilling to work hard and walk around when they encounter difficulties, with a weak foundation.
Therefore, "clumsiness" seems to be slow, but it is actually the fastest and a very "smart" approach; Because you are not smart, you leave no shortcomings and make no mistakes, which is better than all cleverness.
As the saying goes, "cleverness is mistaken by cleverness, leaving three points for future generations." You shouldn't be too smart and sharp-edged. You should know how to hide your wisdom, be a "clumsy" smart person, be wise even if you are stupid, and keep a low profile.
In the game of shrewdness and clumsiness, people don't get together when three points are advanced; Three points silly, wide road.
Stupid and kind are really smart.
