Chapter 18 The Mother and Servant of Public Opinion (February 8, 1902)

Anyone who wants to do his best for the people will not be able to accomplish anything if he resists public opinion.Although, the place of public opinion may not necessarily be the place of public welfare.Public opinion is what ordinary people can see and achieve; and the world is full of heroes, who can see what ordinary people can't see, and do what ordinary people dare not do.However, heroes and public opinion are often incompatible. If heroes are not at risk?However, there are many heroes from ancient and modern times who can leave their fame and fame in history one after another, so why?

Huxley commented on Glanston and said: "Ge Gongcheng is the most intelligent person in Europe, although publicity is nothing more than following the opinions of the majority of the people and using public opinion to develop his intelligence." The first personal relationship in the public life.) Refutation: "Otherwise. Ge Gong is not the servant of public opinion, but the mother of public opinion. Ge Gong often says: Great politicians must have insight into the truth of the current situation and arouse timely public opinion And guide it to implement our policies. This is the only way for Shigegong to make achievements in his life. Every time Geiger wants to build a policy and do something, he must first create public opinion. Yes. But the public opinion it fakes is the one it creates.”

Yin Bingzi said: It is also acceptable to call Ge Gong the mother of public opinion, or it is also acceptable to call Ge Gong the servant of public opinion.He created public opinion, not for personal gain, but for the sake of the people.If Gou does not take this heart as his goal, public opinion will not be formed.The reason why the mother can mother her son is because of the true love of having a mother.A mother truly loves her son, and is always willing to make herself a servant of the son.But she fulfills her duties as a servant, so she can enjoy the rights of being a mother.The two correspond to each other, and no excuses are allowed. Is there any chance for the success of a hero?

There are two types of heroes in ancient times: one, those who sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the people;Of course, the heroes of the second class are not heroes but villains.After the twentieth century, this kind of tiger-skinned and horse-covered heroes will soon become extinct.Therefore, the more civilized the world is, the more inseparable heroes and public opinion become.But what about those who want to be heroes?Said: In the beginning, you should be the enemy of public opinion; in the end, you should be the mother of public opinion; in the end, you should be the servant of public opinion.Those who are against public opinion will destroy the cause of the times; those who are mother of public opinion will be the cause of the transitional era; those who serve public opinion will be the cause of the era.One cannot be an enemy without great courage, one cannot be a mother without great wisdom, and one cannot be a servant without great benevolence. With these three virtues, one is a perfect person.
