Always bring three points of humility and say eight points of good words, and you will be able to get a lot of good karma and convenience in the world.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a famous tailor named Li Cheng, the knife is like the wind, the clothes of the famous officials and ministers, after he cut them, all fit and have thousands of manners, to the day of his retirement, many tailors of the Beijing division surrounded him, asking him to tell the secret of tailoring official clothes.

Li Cheng said: "I cut the clothes of a senior official, not only to see his tall and short body, fat and thin, but more importantly, to ask him how many years he has been in office. ”

The tailor was very convinced, but he did not expect a young tailor to disagree, and said: "The times are different now, and many new officials have just taken office, and they have not yet figured it out, so they are humble everywhere; Once you are familiar with it and grasp it steadily, you will be proud and domineering. And when he meets his superiors, he bows his knees, and when he meets his subordinates, he is arrogant and arrogant, and in one day he suddenly shortens and then grows, and suddenly the front is long and the back is short, so how can he tailor clothes? ”

Li Cheng laughed and said: "It is precisely because the era of the monkey wearing a hat has arrived, and the atmosphere is so bad, that I want to retire early!" ”

Otherwise, it will not be respected by others just by having a stomach and a chest on the surface, and looking high-spirited and majestic. If you can always bring three points of humility and say eight points of good words, you will be able to get a lot of good karma and convenience in the world.
