Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Life Needs a Thick Skin

The so-called thick one, to put it bluntly, is a kind of persistence in life, a kind of courage to stride forward unswervingly towards one's own life goals without being affected by the external environment.They ignore any difficulty, any danger, any obstacle. Once this kind of thickness reaches the extreme, and reaches the category of "sexual evil theory", it is a person like Liu Bang. For the sake of the emperor's foundation, he not only does not take his own life and glory at heart, but even family affection. The friendship was wiped out together, and they were completely reduced to power animals.

In the realm of thick, Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms period is comparable to Liu Bang.Liu Bei's thick skin has broken through human imagination and reached a heinous level. Cao Cao, the world's traitor, once talked about heroes with Liu Bei's green plums. Cao Cao said to Liu Bei: "There are only you and me as heroes in the world—the only envoys and Cao's ears." In front of him, he can only be willing to bow down and be far behind. Speaking of Liu Bei's life, it can be described as a life of ups and downs, hardships and hardships.He came from a humble background, made a living by weaving and selling straw sandals, and hadn't read a book for a few days, but he had great ambitions and wholeheartedly wanted to become emperor.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, Liu Bei took the opportunity to befriend Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the heroes of the ages.

But compared with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei can't write and Wu can't mention it, which is really unbearable.Logically speaking, a small person like him is not qualified to sit on an equal footing with Guan Zhang.But Liu Bei has "high ambitions". He not only wants to sit on an equal footing with Guan Zhang, but also to suppress Guan Zhang.Thanks to Liu Bei's thick skin, he really found a reason to do so. In the movie, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei met, and he introduced himself like this: "I am a clan member of the Han Dynasty, my surname is Liu, and my first name is Bei..." Forgive Liu Bei, who is just a mere straw sandal seller, who dares to call himself a clan member of the Han Dynasty, if he is not The skin is thick enough, no one dares to brag about this kind of cowhide.

For all braggarts, the general rule is that the more they brag, the richer the details, and the more vivid the scenes are. In the end, even the parties themselves believe it and swear by it.As a result, Liu Bei met the postal supervisor sent by the imperial court, and was finally exposed.So the following scenario appeared: Duyou asked, "What is the origin of Lieutenant Liu County?" Xuande said, "Bei is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, who killed the Yellow Turbans from Zhuojun County. He fought more than 30 times, big and small. "The governor shouted and said: "You are falsely calling yourself the emperor's relatives and falsely reporting your achievements! Now the imperial court has issued an imperial edict, and is about to eliminate such corrupt officials!"

In this description, Liu Bei has enriched the details of the cowhide, and has refined the origin of his "Han clan" to the extent that "Bei is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan".But he didn't want Du You to see too many liars like him, and immediately exposed him unceremoniously.What all braggarts hate the most is someone who is confused and exposes the cowhide. As a result, the real Duyou was beaten up, and Liu Bei had no choice but to run away. After that, Liu Bei first went to Cao Cao, and soon because he was hiding from Cao Cao, he conspired with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty who had been emptied of power, and was discovered by Cao Cao. Died unexpectedly.He fled to Yuan Shao again, and Yuan Shao also ended up being expelled from the rivers and lakes.Then attached to Liu Biao, Liu Biao died soon, and finally Liu Bei had to attach to Sun Quan, using Sun Quan's power to compete with Cao Cao.

Among the generals of the Three Kingdoms era, the one with the lowest personality was the brave general Lu Bu.Because Lu Bu first attached himself to Ding Yuan and then Dong Zhuo, he was scolded as a "family slave with three surnames".However, Liu Bei has attached more people than Lu Bu, and he even attached to Lu Bu. It can be seen that Liu Bei's personality is even worse than that of Lu Bu.Fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough to cry loudly when he saw people, making it difficult for people to scold him, so he escaped the inevitable humiliation. When a person takes things to extremes, it is already difficult for people to justify him.It is precisely this face that is thicker than the city wall that allowed Liu Bei to win the world of Western Shu and the respect of people all over the world.There is no other reason, but because his will is too strong, no matter how unbearable he falls, he has never given up the belief of being alone.

It is absolutely impossible to seize the world without a thick skin.And if you have great ambitions and want to rule the world and appease the people, you also need a thick skin, and it is absolutely impossible to be thin. In the same way, if you want to achieve a career in this world, no matter how small the business is or how invisible it is, in the process of struggle, especially when you encounter setbacks, ridicule and ridicule It will come rushing from all directions like a tide.If you lack enough spiritual strength to contend with it, and if you are not thick-skinned enough, you will not be able to persist at all, and you can only give up in the end and become a mediocre person.

This is where the thick value lies.It is not thick enough to stand upright.
