In our lives, some people always like to play some clever tricks and play some small tricks, thinking that they can take advantage of it and get more benefits. However, they often ignore the fact that being a good person can be fine, but not "yin", otherwise, harming others will not be harming themselves.
There is a story about a man who ended up reaping the consequences of his cleverness. This person's name is Li Si, and he is an ordinary office worker. He always thinks that he is smarter than others, so he often uses his cleverness to take advantage of others.
Once, the company sent Li Si on a business trip with a colleague. During business trips, Li Si always secretly took the company's money to spend, thinking that this would not be discovered. However, his colleagues soon discovered his actions and told the company leadership. In the end, Li Si was fired from the company, and his career was severely hit by it.
This story tells us that we can't be too "yin" and can't always think about taking advantage of others. If we always try to take shortcuts and take advantage, we will only lose more in the end.
In fact, being a person should be above board, and doing things should be down-to-earth and serious. Only through one's own efforts and dedication can one achieve true success and happiness. If we always try to take shortcuts and take advantage, we will end up in a quagmire from which we cannot extricate ourselves.
In life, we should always remind ourselves: we can be fine, but we can't be "yin". We should use our own wisdom and hard work to create our own future, instead of taking advantage of others by playing clever. Only in this way can we truly achieve success and happiness.
Finally, it should be pointed out that the above story is what I saw in the book "Small Stories and Big Truths", about the elaboration of being a shrewd person but not yin, and the reference is the book "Be a shrewd person and be smart in doing things", so I will recommend the two related books of "Little Story, Great Wisdom" and "Be a shrewd person and be smart in doing things" to everyone.
