Chapter 129 Showing mistakes and pretending to be stupid works wonders

When people talk and talk, they always try to avoid mistakes.However, in some cases, deliberately misinterpreting the other party, mispronouncing characters, using wrong words, showing mistakes and pretending to be stupid, can receive magical effects. Deliberately pretending to be stupid, misunderstood the other party's words, and then turned to his own context to refute the other party. For example, the owner of a pharmacy would light incense and pray to the Bodhisattva every New Year's Eve: "Greatly Merciful Bodhisattva, may you bless men, women, and children with many illnesses and disasters, so that I can make a fortune!" Overheard by a servant.Soon the boss' mother got tuberculosis and was lying on the bed moaning.The servant said to the boss: "The old lady is very sick now, it is all thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva!" The boss was furious.The servant said: "Boss, calm down. Didn't you ask the Bodhisattva to bless men, women and children from getting sick? Now the Bodhisattva has appeared." The boss was speechless.

As a servant with a conscience, it is inevitable that he will be dissatisfied with the boss's prayer, but he cannot directly criticize the boss, so he deliberately pretends to be stupid and congratulates the boss on the grounds of "a bodhisattva's manifestation".It can be said that the boss is shooting himself in the foot with a rock, which is hard to say. For another example, a young man asked an old man for directions: "Hey, how far is it from the city?" The old man replied, "500 crutches." : "Longli? You have to call me uncle!" The old man misunderstood the unit of distance on purpose, saying "li" as "crutch" to arouse the young man's correction. Then, the old man used the homophony difference between "lun li" and "lunili" to teach the young man that he was not polite.

A teacher taught the students the word "disastrous pears and jujubes".First of all, I misinterpreted it in a literal way: "It seems that pears and dates are poisonous, and eating them will cause disasters." Students with a little common sense in life will feel that this statement is unreasonable, but they can't tell the exact meaning for a while.When the students are eager to learn, the teacher reveals the answer: "This idiom refers to the useless books that are indiscriminately engraved, and the pear trees and jujube trees used to make engravings will suffer." In this way, the students suddenly became enlightened.

Showing mistakes, as a means of communication, can sometimes become a tool for adapting to the situation, breaking the deadlock, and inspiring speeches. Qian Xuesen once attended an academic conference, and everyone held their breaths and listened to him speak alone.As he talked, Mr. Qian made mistakes in even simple common sense questions.A more courageous person in the audience said: "Did you make a mistake?" At this time, Qian Lao smiled and said: "It seems that I am not right about everything. Well, now someone has finally spoken!" The atmosphere of the meeting Liven up immediately.
