Wang Xifeng is a calculating character in "Dream of Red Mansions".
She is shrewd and vicious, unscrupulous for the sake of profit, and finally leads to a tragic end because of her calculations.
Cao Xueqin described her in the poem "Smart and Tired":"The agency is too clever to calculate, and it has calculated Qingqing's life! ”
In a complex society, true wisdom lies not in calculation and strategy, but in the attitude towards the world.
The smartest way to live, I think we should do three things: be kind, be tolerant, and be confused.
01: Be kind
Fat Donglai Supermarket is not only well-known, but also the founder Fat Donglai is down-to-earth and always adheres to the honest management.
During the epidemic, they insisted on selling vegetables at cost price and donated money to support Wuhan.
Treat employees like family, with high salaries and good benefits, showing humanistic care.
All the products of Fat Donglai are fair, ensuring that the ingredients are the freshest every day, and the advantages and disadvantages of each product will be truthfully told to customers.
It is precisely because of Fat Donglai's honest management that he quickly won everyone's trust and his business prospered.
That's the charm of kindness.
Treat people with sincerity, not only to gain the respect of others, but also to accumulate contacts for yourself.
02: Be tolerant
Mei Changsu showed excellent tolerance qualities in "Langya Bang".
In the face of misunderstandings and offenses, he chooses to understand; In the face of personal grievances, he let go of hatred; For the sake of the country and the nation, he was tolerant of compromises.
This spirit of tolerance earned him respect, strengthened his path, and demonstrated his noble character.
Turgenev once said, "He who does not tolerate others does not deserve to be tolerated by others." ”In life, some people get into a fight on the bus because someone accidentally stepped on their foot, or argue because someone else has a bad attitude.
Tolerance and understanding not only calm our minds, but also resolve contradictions and conflicts, and enhance harmony between people.
03: Confused
Recently, I saw a little news. A reporter went to interview the longest-lived elderly man in Zhejiang and wanted to know the secret of the old man's longevity.
The children of the old man said that their father's greatest virtue was that he was idle and confused.
As the saying goes, "It's hard to get confused." ”Confusion is a state and a blessing. In a complex world, one eye is open and one eye is closed to avoid unnecessary disputes and troubles.
Only by choosing to be confused can you protect your heart from the outside world and keep yourself in a state of tranquility and happiness.
Write at the end:
Shakespeare said, "The greatest pain in life is to be too sober." ”If one wants to live well, one should not be too sober and shrewd.
Kindness paves the bridge to the heart, tolerance waters the garden of inner tranquility, and confusion is the light that guards our inner peace.
In this complex society, let us uphold these three wisdoms in order to create a better future!
