Some people say that being a man is like playing mahjong, because the secret of playing mahjong is to try to disguise oneself so that the other party cannot guess the cards in one's hand. Therefore, the more master you are, the more you can pretend to be yourself, and the more you can see through the other party's disguise. Playing mahjong is synonymous with the "Battle of Fangcheng", which is similar to war, requiring the use of wit and strategy to win over others. Therefore, when playing mahjong, once the opponent pierces your hole cards, you will definitely lose.

When Confucius was young, he was taught by Lao Tzu. At that time, Lao Tzu once said to him: "The good Jia is deep and empty, and the gentleman is virtuous and stupid." It means that a businessman who is good at doing business always puts up the precious stuff and does not make it easy for people to see;And a gentleman is virtuous, but he looks stupid on the outside. The implication is to warn people that it is useless to flaunt one's talents excessively and to abuse one's desires or energies uncontrollably.

The ancients said that "flowers should be half-opened, and wine should be half-drunk", and when flowers are in full bloom, they are not immediately picked and gone, which is the beginning of decay. The same is true in life, when you are complacent, you must not be arrogant, arrogant, and unstoppable, so that you will become the target of everyone!

Anyone who knows something that others don't know will inevitably feel a sense of pride. However, for this kind of strengths that others are not able to reach, we must hide them and avoid inviting trouble, and it is not a pity that a world-famous politician like Xin Lingjun will regret it for life because he does not know how to restrain for a while

The typical example of the upper body being too exposed and causing trouble was a man who was a minister in ancient times. When fighting the country, heroes from all walks of life gather under one command, and they are sharp, and each one is more capable than the other. The master naturally needs to borrow the talents of these people to realize his ambition to dominate the world. But the world has decided, the talent of these tiger generals will not disappear, at this time, their talent has become the emperor's heart disease, so that he feels threatened, therefore, there are many indiscriminate killings of heroes in the early days of the founding of the country, that is, "unloading the mill and killing the donkey". Han Xin was killed, and Ming Taizu burned Qinggong Tower, all of which were the same.

If you don't show your edge, you may never be reused;You are too sharp, but you are easy to attract envy. Although it is easy to achieve temporary success, he has dug a grave for himself. When you use your talents, you also sow the seeds of crisis. Therefore, talent should be revealed in moderation.

As the saying goes, "An eagle stands like sleep, and a tiger walks like a disease." Therefore, a gentleman must be smart and talented, so that he can have the strength to have a long way to go, that is, "hiding ingenuity in clumsiness, and using obscurity and clarity". In general, human nature is loyal and cunning, and people with great ambitions want to achieve their own goals, without ingenuity, and absolutely not. Therefore, we must be good at ingenuity and change, but also not be recognized, guarded against and disgusted by others, we should have the means of being a man who stands up for the eagle, sleeps like a sick, and does not show his edge.

There are many people in this world who can excel, but there are not many people who are good at hiding their edges. In a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are countless talented people who died in the hands of Cao Cao, like You Heng's generation, all because they were not good at hiding themselves. Therefore, no matter how talented you are, you must be good at concealment.

Therefore, no matter how outstanding your intelligence is, you must also remember: don't think too much of yourself, don't think of yourself too important, don't think of yourself as a saint and gentleman who saves the country and the people, or restrain your edge, clamp your tail, and cover up your talent.
