Mr. Nan Huaijin once proposed: "Should we go straight to life and work? Or do you go on a curve? ”
But the real world is not simply a matter of right and wrong.
If you look at things from a straight or tortuous perspective, you will only imprison your own thinking.
As the saying goes: "When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives." ”
The best posture in life is to be able to do things in a straight line and be a curved person.
Do things in a straight line, open and decisive
There is such a story in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty:
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, many people used paulownia wood as firewood.
Once, when Cai Wenji's father, Cai Yong, was sheltering from chaos in Wu Land, he saw someone stuffing wooden planks into a burning stove.
For a while, sparks erupted in the hearth, and there was a sound of wood spirits.
This crisp voice suddenly made Cai Yong realize that this wooden board was an unusual board.
He didn't hesitate, he reached directly into the hot furnace and took out the burning plank.
After extinguishing the flame, he told the burner that it was a good piece of wood for making a harp, and asked him for the burnt plank.
Cai Yong handed over the plank to a skilled master.
After careful polishing by the master, this charred paulownia board was transformed into a seven-stringed guqin.
The sound of this qin is particularly beautiful, and the aftersound is lingering, and it has become one of the four most famous guqins in China.
Cai Yong has also made great achievements in terms of music because of this instrument.
Because the tail still bears traces of burning that year, this piano is called "Jiaowei Qin".
If Cai Yong hesitated for a moment at that time and let the paulownia wood burn for a while, the remaining length would not be enough to make a violin.
The scorch marks at the end of the piano represent the decision of a music expert.
This kind of decisiveness in doing things at the right time has also preserved many good things for the world.
When people reach middle age, we have long been accustomed to a plain and stable, step-by-step life, and there are always too many worries before doing something.
We are afraid of failure, we dare not move forward, and we always wait and wander alone in the same place.
But there is a saying: "It is better to take one step forward than to think ten steps in the same place." ”
Life is full of challenges, but it also has opportunities.
And the opportunity is fleeting, and it will only be left to those who value it enough.
In the face of opportunities, some people hesitate and miss opportunities, while others go all out and take risks.
Only do things in a straight line, with full firepower, one day, good luck will knock on the door of your life.
Be a curved man, restrain your arrogance
As the old saying goes: "Those who are impetuous, do nothing; Those who are calm and calm, Momofuku is self-collecting. ”
In this impetuous era, only those who calm down and do things and rein in their edges can stand out.
Li Mi was born into an aristocratic family.
He was both civil and military, ambitious, sympathetic to soldiers, and deeply supported by the people.
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, which was full of talents, no one could compete with it.
But Li Mi, who seemed to be a winner in life, finally failed.
The smooth wind and water along the way made Li Mi's original intention no longer be, and he didn't listen to the advice, and even killed Qu to chill the hearts of his subordinates.
At a young age, Li Mi had 300,000 troops, and after winning a war, he became arrogant.
As everyone knows, the arrogant army will be defeated.
He did not see at all that his troops were being depleted, and raised his exhausted division to meet the well-prepared enemy.
Even Li Mi was so arrogant that he did not defend himself, so that he let more than 200 people succeed in a sneak attack.
It can be seen that the life that can be stretched and unyielding is doomed to failure.
And how to behave in the world should be like what Mr. Nan Huaijin said: to be good at using ingenious curves.
A curvy life is like a ripe ear of wheat, full and bent over.
People who really have connotation know how to restrain their arrogance, choose to lean over to do things, and lower themselves.
Caigen Tan has a saying: "Water is low into the sea, and people are low into kings." ”
Be humble and low-key, so you can achieve great things.
A good life is a good life
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Candle Zhiwu was the palace in the three dynasties of the family, but he was full of wealth, but he was not allowed to reuse.

Ibsen said, "Don't rest on your laurels because of luck, don't let bad luck slump."
A truly strong person is good at finding the shadow from the good times and the light from the adversity. ”
Life can be twisted or straight, and naturally it will not be defeated.
In good times, walk in a straight line, stride forward, and display your talents;
Take the curve in the face of adversity, accumulate silently, and do not worry about the unknown tomorrow.
No matter what kind of life circumstances you are in, as long as you have a heart that is always towards the light, you will not be easily defeated.
A good sketch is never only composed of a single line, but a curve and a straight line complement each other.
The same is true of life, no matter how you behave or do things, only by grasping the right and wrong, can you achieve steady and far-reaching results.
Do things in a straight line, seize the opportunity, and good luck comes unexpectedly; Be a curvy person, know how to be humble, and everything will go smoothly.
A person's best posture is to be able to move forward bravely and also know how to restrain the edge.
