Helplessness: During the Anti-Japanese War, it is said that the plane that went to Hong Kong to rescue scholars was captured by Miss Kong Er holding a foreign dog. "Ta Kung Pao" confirmed that: the fleeing plane was loaded with cages, mothers and foreign dogs.This triggered massive public protests.In fact, Ms. Kong Er was the person who picked up the plane, not the person who left Hong Kong, and the foreign dog belonged to an American technician. Regarding this, Chiang Kai-shek said with grief and indignation: "Chinese people and young people have no intelligence to distinguish, so they are allowed to be incited by others, so that right and wrong are not clear. , black and white reversed, since ancient times.”

Mistake: During the Anti-Japanese War, reporter Lu Keng published an article exposing that Song Ziwen's company got a loan of 300 million yuan.At that time, the country's foreign exchange totaled 500 million, and the Song family dared to take away so much, and the people were immediately outraged.The Song family hurriedly checked the accounts, checked and checked, and found that the Kong and Song families had a total of 3 million yuan—this amount is not small, but it is not on the same order of magnitude as 300 million.He had no choice but to ask Lu Keng how he calculated it.Lu Keng replied: He put the decimal point wrong...

Dong Zhuo: During the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Dong Zhuo led his army into Chang'an, he first ruled the country by virtue. He ordered: kill the son who is not filial to his father; kill the younger brother who is disobedient to his elder brother; In the city of Chang'an, there was a bloodbath, and the common people rushed to falsely accuse their enemies, and thousands of corpses lay on the long street overnight... How bad a person is depends on how high a moral standard he demands of others.Have you seen a bad guy like this lately? Equality and Art: The Dutch painter Rembrandt paid for painting group portraits for the Shooters Guild, but he did not paint everyone as fair and equal, but highlighted some people.The client angrily sued Rembrandt to court, and since then, Rembrandt’s orders have been scattered, and the depressed artist has been isolated from the world...

Bottom line: Calligrapher Yan Zhenqing carved his name on stones and threw them into deep water wherever he went when he was young.He explained: After hundreds of millions of years, the bottom of the sea will become a high mountain, and people will see my name at that time... I appreciate this kind of straightforward person who seeks fame. As long as a person cares about his own reputation, he will not do too much. When bad things come, people who are afraid of hiding their heads and showing their tails, and those who make profits in the name of the group, they have no moral bottom line.

Greed: Weedhai III donated to Harvard University, so Harvard informed Weedhai.

Arrogance: There was a man named Yin An in the Tang Dynasty who said: There are no more than five famous people who have achieved a little bit in ancient times.The first one is Fuxi who plays gossip, the second one is Shennong who tastes all kinds of herbs, the third one is Zhou Gong who formulates etiquette, the fourth one is Confucius who is not too stupid, and the fifth one is me, Yin An... Self-evaluation If it is too high, it will make us feel that the world is too unfair, treats us badly and suppresses us.If we lower our stature, we will see the world very differently. Nature: During World War II, Britain had an emergency blackout.With an order, the city of London was suddenly brightly lit, and the police had to punish those who refused to turn off the lights, but most people said that the lights were turned on by cats or dogs.One of the strangest reasons is that a bird flew in to brighten the lights at home... This story tells us: Human nature is to resist control, even if it means losing one's life.

Evil nature: Robinson Robinson on the isolated island is a person who is inherently evil. When he found human presence on the isolated island, he did not rush into the arms of the same kind with tears in his eyes, but deliberately guarded against it as if facing an enemy , so he successfully captured a cannibal and served him as a slave without being eaten by the other party.This tells us that since people can defeat beasts and become the masters of this world, it must not be because they are too kind.

Stubbornness: Raycraft said: It is human nature to make mistakes, and it is also the same if one does not correct one's mistakes-why do people not correct their mistakes?That's because this kind of error is in line with his inner self-personality. Although he admits that it is a mistake, his self-personality does not recognize it.The inner personality does what it wants, so people make mistakes again and again-since we can't choose not to make mistakes, then we can only choose to make mistakes that are beneficial to our life.

Self-love: In World War I, the Air Force came in handy, and the British parachute merchants made a lot of money, but it was the Germans who bought the British parachutes.The UK forbids their pilots to use parachutes because the military believes that parachutes are much more valuable than the lives of pilots... This tells us that people must love themselves first. In the eyes of others, sometimes you are not even as valuable as a piece of cloth. Weakness: Carnegie regards the desire for praise as the first weakness of human nature, which truly breaks the essence of our fragile personality.Our hearts are so empty that we look forward to the affirmation of others all the time.This is not only true of us, but also of those high-ranking people who are always afraid that they are not worthy of this high position, so they indulge in the flattery of their subordinates.

It is only because knowledge can change people's destiny, but it cannot change the essence of human nature. Business opportunities: In February 1950, the US Department of Agriculture discovered that several companies of Song Ziwen based in Hong Kong had monopolized the soybean market.Why does he monopolize soybeans?Americans are confused, North Korea's Kim Il Sung suddenly launched an attack on South Korea, the Korean War broke out, so the price of soybeans soared, Song Ziwen easily made 30 million US dollars - if you understand human nature, you know that some people will definitely do something something, and that means opportunity for you.

When discussing issues, everyone sat in a circle and sat on an equal footing.This frightened a minister named Liu Wenjing. He cried and begged: "Your Majesty, this can't be done. How can we be equal?"Isn't this all messed up?Your Majesty, you should be on the top, and we are kneeling below...
