In daily life, we often encounter such a phenomenon:
When going out to play, some people are always careful about their calculations, asking their friends to pay everywhere, and are willing to take advantage of others;
In order to satisfy their own needs and preferences, they ignore the feelings of others and always expect others to accommodate and cater to them.
In the relationship, they are too concerned about how much they give each other, ignoring the essence of emotion is selfless sharing;
When dealing with friends, if you insist on your own views and refuse to compromise, although you may gain some benefits in the short term, in the long run, such behavior will only lead to alienation.
As "Caigen Tan" said: "The world is a blessing, and human feelings are weak." This reminds us that in our interpersonal interactions, we know how to suffer losses at the right time, not only to properly solve the problems in the present, but also to accumulate blessings in the future.
This is especially true of the relationship between friends, true friends can support each other and make progress together, if they only know how to ask and are not willing to back down, the boat of friendship will eventually drift apart.
Back in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a small trader named Zuo Wensheng, who made a living by running a small business.
By chance, Zuo Wensheng met Zhou Jixian, a like-minded businessman from other places, and the two worked together to engage in small business.
Once, Zhou Jixian needed to go out for a few months for some reason, so he handed over 30 yuan to Zuo Wensheng for the turnover of goods, and agreed to pay 3 points of interest.
Unexpectedly, due to the tightening of the monetary market and the sharp increase in the value of the currency, the value of the 30 yuan increased several times in a short period of time.
When settling the interest, Zuo Wensheng offered to pay Zhou Jixian interest according to the amount after the market price.
However, Zhou Jixian resolutely refused: "The original agreement was 3 cents of interest, no matter how the market price fluctuates, I will never accept the excess." ”
In this regard, Zuo Wensheng responded seriously: "How can you do business? The principal is yours, and the value-added part should also belong to you. ”
In view of his sincerity and kindness, Zhou Jixian decided to share with him the rich business network resources he had accumulated over the years.
Zuo Wensheng has won wide acclaim for his quality of valuing love over profit and honest management, and many people are willing to work with him to jointly invest in business projects.
The friendship between the two has become deeper and deeper in their common struggle, and under Zuo Wensheng's careful management, their business scale has continued to grow. Soon after, Zuo Wensheng successfully opened a money bank and quickly became one of the richest people in the area.
A good friendship is not only reflected in sharing each other's emotional ups and downs, but also in the ability to understand and give in to each other in the face of interests.
The purpose of this kind of concession is not only to maintain and deepen friendship, but also to achieve mutual benefit and create a win-win situation for both parties.
True friends should not only work hand in hand in their careers and go hand in hand, but also know how to be humble and courteous to each other in life and achieve each other.
Realize that it is a blessing to retreat at the right time, and put yourself in the other party's shoes when encountering problems, so as to make the road of life wider and wider.
