This proverb is often quoted to express that the water is too clear for the presence of fish. In fact, there is a deeper wisdom behind this sentence. In the "Great Dai Li Ji", the second half of this sentence is the real essence: "If a person is observant, there is no disciple." It means that if a person is too shrewd, he will lose friends and partners. This quote reminds us that in interpersonal interactions, excessive shrewdness and heightened vigilance can lead to alienation and isolation from people. There are two sides to everything, and it's good to be smart, but it's too much to lose balance. Here we can quote Lao Tzu's words: "There is nothing in nothing, there is nothing in nothing", which embodies the Taoist concept of pursuing natural harmonyYin and Yang balance, the harmonious development of all things.
Extensions:lifeThis is true in all aspects. Be smart, be good at perceiving the essence of things, and hold yourself to a higher standard. But in the pursuit of perfection, we have to master a degree. Imagine if you had someone around you who was always fussy about trivial matters and endlessly pursued details, would you have a crush on him and be willing to make friends with him? In the workplace, as a leader, it is the right thing to do to ensure the quality of work and raise standards, but you should not blindly demand from your subordinateslifeUnder tremendous pressure. Excessively high standards can lead to unshirkable pressure of responsibility and can be counterproductive. Successful leaders in the workplace, even when criticizing others, will give a certain amount of space and opportunities, and will not make their subordinates unrecognizable. Everyone makes mistakes, and if everyone is punished for their mistakes, then everyone around them will disappear, and who will work for them?
In fact, not only in the workplace, but in our daily liveslifeThe same applies to . The ancients had a saying: "If you are not stupid, you are not deaf, you are not a family." It means that a smart person knows how to be restrained and will leave room for others, which is also "human favor."SocialRoutine. Things need to be calculated, but not overdone. How to get the balance right, this is the wisdom we need to learn. Give others one more chance, don't take it too seriously, because a person who is too calculating is like a sword, which looks sharp and shiny, but actually hurts others and hurts himself.
After discussing the wisdom of the proverb "when the water is clear, there are no fish", we have to mention the famous Qing officials of the Ming DynastyHai JuiHai JuiKnown as a model of fairness and integrity, he never softly faced the best filthy officials, and every time he wrote and foldedJiajingThe emperor reflected the dark phenomenon of officialdom. However,JiajingThe emperor dealt only with those who made the most mistakes. JiajingThe way the emperor handled it showed hisClever enoughOn the one hand, heavy penalties are given as a warning, and on the other hand, those who have made minor mistakes are given the opportunity to mend their ways. This way of dealing with it not only has the role of warning, but also reflects a kind of tolerant mind.
This is also the truth of the mantra "rare to be confused". On the surface, this sentence seems to express that a person should pursue confusion in doing things, which means an attitude of not thinking and not being responsible. However, it can also be understood as releasing control and attachment in certain situations, leaving room for oneself and others, and being moderately tolerant and tolerant. As a wise man once said, "To be confused is not to know, but to know but to be able to be broad-minded and not to care." "There is a great wisdom behind this confusion.
In conclusion, it is beneficial to pursue ingenuity and to see the essence of things. However, excessive pursuit of shrewdness and resourcefulness can lead to alienation and isolation from others. There are two sides to everything, and we must pursue natural harmonyYin and Yang balance, the harmonious development of all things. This applies not only to the workplace, but also to everyday lifelife。In communication, we need to be good at perceiving the essence of things, but we must grasp the scale well and don't overdo it. Be tolerant and understanding of others with space and opportunities for development. LikeShu TingThe poem says: "Be a man and leave three points, and see each other in the future." "This kind of wisdom and skill is something we need to learn because of being humanArtIt is to be able to maintain a moderate amount of tolerance and balance while pursuing perfection.
Looking back, we can't help but ask ourselves whether we can look at the mistakes of others with a calm mind, and whether we can give others a chance to mend their ways. In the workplace, whether you can become the leader who can see things clearly, raise standards, and at the same time give enough space and opportunities to subordinates. And, inlifeWhether they are able to tolerate and understand the shortcomings and mistakes of others, and give them the opportunity to correct them. In fact, this is not only a kind treatment to others, but also a kind of cultivation and improvement of oneself. RememberConfuciusHe once said: "If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher", which means that everyone has something worth learning from us. Therefore, we need to inherit and carry forward the wisdom of our ancestors, and learn to maintain a humble, tolerant and tolerant attitude while seeking wisdom, which is what we are doingArtLocation.
In short, the balance and coordination between being smart and being foolish is something we need to think about and practice in our interpersonal interactions. Only by truly understanding and using the "clear water is no fish" can we work hardlifeto achieve better results. This kind of wisdom needs to be gradually comprehended in continuous practice and thinking, so as to grow into a better version of ourselves.
