A kind person is able to be respected and trusted by others, both in personal life and in work. Li Ka-shing once warned his son that when working with others, he should not only think about his own interests, but should be willing to give more. Even if the other person thinks seven points are reasonable, we can give eight points, and we only get six points ourselves. This attitude of valuing harmony makes people feel very relieved to cooperate with him.
When we get along with kind people, we can always feel that they take things seriously and treat people with sincerity. They will not be in front of others and behind others, they dare to take their own responsibilities and never shirk their responsibilities. They are like a mirror, forever maintaining a relationship of equality, authenticity and trust.
Great wisdom is foolish, great ingenuity is clumsy", kind people are good at doing everything in detail. They pursue progress, accumulate experience, and never take chances. Zeng Guofan insisted on writing a reading diary for decades, and never lowered his requirements for himself, and this spirit made him a great scholar and military strategist.
However, the opposite of kindness is those who are not willing to work hard and pursue simple methods for personal gain. Such an approach will only lead to disaster, because they have no real material, no experience, and are just looking for shortcuts out of thin air. As Lao Tzu said: "The big husband is not thin", a true gentleman always adheres to the simple and mellow way, and does not pursue vain and useless gifts.
Honest people are adept at using the art of siege, approaching the problem or enemy step by step, and solving the matter with the least loss. Just like a case that occurred in the Yue Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period, the ministers had different opinions on whether to convict or not, and the king of Yue asked Fan Li for advice. Fan Li told King Yue that there are two pieces of jade in my house, and the size and quality are the same from the front, but from the side, one of them is twice as thick as the other, so it is twice as expensive as it. People are the same, be kind, treat others with a kind heart, have less grudges, more bonds, plant fewer thorns, and plant more flowers.
In society, kind-hearted people can always be praised and respected by others, and they have a good heart and pursue beauty. Whether it is personal growth or social development, the existence of kind-hearted people is needed. Because it is only through honest behavior that we can build a harmonious and generous social environment where everyone can be respected and trusted.
