The pain in life comes from desires far higher than one's ability, even the most insignificant people have their own dreams in life.Instead of suffering from inner desires, it is better to be down-to-earth and do small things for the people around you.To others, your help is just the light of fireflies, worthless, but the feeling you bring to others is as warm as the sun.

In the Jiawu year of the late Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi returned to Beijing from the Summer Palace.There was heavy rain, and the ground water was one or two feet deep.

Speaking of Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms, he is a muddleheaded person who has neither goals in life nor principles of life. The former prevents him from becoming a leader and boss, while the latter prevents him from cooperating with others as an employee.The first half of the Three Kingdoms is basically a history of his tragic failures in life. He frequently appeared on stage to steal the spotlight, just because he had too many opportunities, but every opportunity was incompatible with his personality.The so-called tragedy of life is to give opportunities to those who are not prepared. During Tang Wenzong's time, there was a Zheng Zhu who was hailed as a genius in the world. He had a way to make the common people rich.Emperor Wenzong came to him and asked how to make the people rich.Zheng Zhu said with a smile: The method is too simple, that is, to raise taxes. Now the common people grow tea without paying taxes.

Those great mothers: Confucius, his father died young, and his mother educated him.Mencius, in order to educate his son, Meng's mother moved three times.Tao Kan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Ouyang Xiu, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, were all educated by their mothers.The anti-golden hero Yue Fei and his mother-in-law have tattooed characters, which is still so soul-stirring.The thinker Hu Shi and the educator Cai Yuanpei were educated by their mothers...

Zhao Guangyi, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, loved to play chess, and often played it in a daze.The ministers advised him: Your Majesty, stop playing and do something serious.Zhao Guangyi: Don't let me play chess, right?That old man went to play with women in the harem.The ministers hurriedly stopped: Your Majesty, you should come back to play chess... As a leader, you must be good at solving problems for the masses, drink Lafite if you are not allowed to drink Moutai, and play with women if you are not allowed to play chess.Leaders always set extremely low standards for themselves, but have extremely high requirements for others. Reading the Three Kingdoms, tell the truth: Reading "Three Kingdoms", I found that Liu Bei was the one with the strongest execution ability. Zhuge Liang only submitted a planning draft, and Liu Bei entered Sichuan alone according to this draft, and separated the country.Now there are some bosses who are not Liu Bei themselves, but they want their employees to have super executive power.You count on your employees to sell things you can’t sell, and count on your employees to do what you can’t do, but you forget that employees with strong execution ability have already become bosses, who is still working here? There was a young man who didn't seek to make progress, but played cards, drank and made love to his younger sister.One day he came home drunk and fell asleep on the way. When he woke up, he found himself lying in the patrol room. A client angrily accused him of beating him, but the young man couldn't remember anything.Suddenly he found that his coat was gone and his body was covered with bruises.At that time, he said to the mirror: I am born to be useful...so I studied hard, went to the United States for further study, and eventually became a ideological mentor.

When Zeng Guofan was young, he was a poor scholar in the Imperial Academy.In order to get ahead, Zeng Guofan worked hard on self-cultivation.At that time, one of his colleagues, Tan Zuoren, regarded picking on Zeng Guofan's faults as his pleasure, and tortured Zeng Guofan so much that he wanted to cry.Twenty-two years later, when Zeng Guofan became famous, Tan Zuoren came to criticize him again, and Zeng Guofan drove him away on the spot.But Zeng Guofan is Zeng Guofan after all, so I still keep Tan Zuoren's book for reading. The most important thing that helped me make the big decisions in my life was to remember that life can end at any time.Because almost everything—all external expectations, all reputation, all fear of embarrassment or failure—falls away and only the most important things remain.Remembering that you are going to die at any moment is the best way I know to keep you from being lost.You already have nothing, there is no reason not to do whatever you want. - Jobs. Liu Wendian, a master of Chinese studies.The student Tao Guang came to see him, and when he entered the door, he yelled at him: Lazy, useless, not seeking to make progress!The scolding made Tao Guang fly into a rage.Suddenly Liu Wendian said pitifully: I rely on you to become famous and start a family, as the capital of bragging, you don't understand my painstaking efforts, do you have the heart to make me despair?As soon as he said this, Tao Guang was overjoyed, and immediately served tea to the teacher...Education or management, the method of carrot and stick is better than a single method.
