Chapter 115 flexible, intelligent

There is a famous saying: A man can bend and stretch.To be able to bend is to be able to wait for the time when the objective situation is not good for you; to be able to stretch is to be able to be aggressive when the external environment is beneficial to you.Being able to bend and stretch is a virtue of human beings, and being able to bend and stretch is a way for people to live in the world.In real life, if you follow the path, you can advance into the easy, and if you go against it, you can bend the difficulty; Here, we still need to clarify a problem.In real life, when it comes to flexion and extension, it seems to always give people a "smooth" feeling.What needs to be mentioned in particular is "bending", as if to compromise on issues of principle.In fact, this is not the case. As the saying goes: "A man can be bent and stretched." A "man" is to "live in the righteous place, establish the right position in the world, and walk the way of heaven and justice. Do what you want, and let the people do it freely; if you don't want to, Follow your own path. Wealth and honor cannot be promiscuous, poverty cannot be moved, and might cannot be subdued."For such a man, his "Qu" cannot be called an unprincipled compromise anyway.A man can see the opportunity and bend appropriately, but if the time is right, he can quickly find his position and stretch himself.

Goujian, the king of Yue, tasted his courage and even acted as a groom as the king of a country, and finally won the great cause of "three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu".Han Xin in the Han Dynasty, if he could not bear the "humiliation under the crotch", how could he become the Marquis of Huaiyin from a small street person. Looking at the history of China for thousands of years, it is not difficult to find that those ancestors who really made a difference in politics and officialdom, and left their names in the history books, always "endured" and walked over:

Goujian could bear the shame of subjugation, and eventually he could perish in Wu; Zhang Liang could bear Huang Shi's ridicule, so he had to learn "Taigong Art of War"; Lin Xiangru endured the anger for a while, and recited "General Xianghe" through the ages; Li Shimin can endure the remonstrance of virtuous ministers, and the prosperity and prosperity make the country rich and the people strong. A businessman who has traveled in the business world for many years concluded that: When you ask for something from others, you must be patient.To get a loan from a bank, you have to resist the nitpicking of the examiners.When negotiating business with others, you may lose a lot of money if you don't bear it.If you do ask for help from the person who is picking on you and staring at you, bear with it!Only when you can bear the momentary bend, can you stretch.

Flexion is the basis of stretching, and stretching is the completion of flexion.If there is no bending and stretching, then naturally there will be no communication and change, and there will be no human growth and perfection.Only when the two are harmonious and unified can we accumulate a lot of accumulation and succeed in doing things.As far as the mutual relationship between flexion and extension is concerned, one flexion and one extension are also "communication is endless." "Continuing inexhaustibly" means to bring about changes, and the changes are smooth, which is to achieve a reasonable and harmonious life.

If a person wants to make a difference in the world, "lowering his head" is indispensable.To lower the head is to raise the head higher and more powerfully.The real world is diverse and complex, and it is not as smooth as imagined. Facing the low "doorframes" in the journey of life, temporarily bowing your head is not humiliation, but for a long-term rise; temporary retreat is by no means a loss of principle and self-esteem, but It is for better progress.It is more powerful to punch out with the retracted fist.Only by adopting such a positive and wise approach can we assess the situation, seek progress in a roundabout way to achieve our goals, and achieve transcendence.If you turn a blind eye to the "door frame", keep your arrogance unrestrained, and head-on head-on, you will only end up with a bloody head and become "Don Quixote" in front of the windmill.

Flexibility is a kind of wisdom in life.In today's modern life, in the face of strong social pressure, we should not blindly be tough, and of course we should not blindly shrink back. We must use our own life wisdom to fight for it, find our own life in the gaps, and be able to bend and stretch. It is also necessary to accept grievances in a moderate manner, and strive for them slowly. This approach seems soft, but it has long-lasting and firm power.If you go forward blindly, then in the end it is very likely that you will be smashed and bloody, and even many relatives will be injured with you.
