The secrets you have to learn

  1. Character and intelligence are the two supports for giving full play to people's natural resources Anyone who wants to give full play to his talent must rely on his character and intelligence. If you rely on only one of them, you can only achieve half the success. You can't do great things just by being smart. You have to have a character that suits your intelligence. The reason why fools fail is that they act regardless of their specific conditions, status, origin and friends.

  2. Don't make what you do public Unexpected success is often the most convincing. What is too obvious is neither useful nor interesting. Being in a hurry to confess can make people speculate, especially if your position is important enough to arouse people's expectations. Mystery wins respect by its mystery. Even if you have to tell the truth, you'd better avoid telling the truth. Don't let people see you inside and outside. Caution is maintained by careful silence. Once what you are determined to do is disclosed, it is difficult to gain respect, but it often leads to criticism. If they end badly afterwards, you are more likely to suffer double misfortune. If you really want to be respected and respected by people, learn from the God who does things without saying anything.

  3. Don't appear superior to your boss It's annoying to be compared with others, so if your boss is overtaken by you, it's not only stupid for you, but even fatal. Self superiority is always annoying, especially easy to arouse the envy of superiors and villains. Therefore, the ordinary advantages can be carefully covered up. For example, if you look too good, you might as well offset it with some defects. Most people don't mind being surpassed in luck, character and temperament, but no one (especially leaders) likes to be surpassed intellectually. Because intelligence is the king of personality characteristics, offending it is tantamount to committing a great crime. A leader should always show that he is superior to others in all major things. Kings like to be assisted, but they don't like to be surpassed. If you want to give advice to someone, you should appear to be reminding him of something he already knows but accidentally forgets, not something you have to solve your puzzles to understand. The mystery can also be learned from the stars in the sky: Although the stars are bright, they dare not be brighter than the sun.

  4. Make friends with those who can teach Making friends helps to be knowledgeable, and talking helps to teach each other. To make friends your teachers, you should organically integrate the use of knowledge with the fun of conversation. Be willing to get along with savvy people. What you say must be applauded by your listeners, and what you hear must make you more knowledgeable. In general, it is our own interest that makes us close to others, so this interest is noble. Prudent people often haunt the door of Heroes: This is a stage for heroism, not a palace for fishing for fame. Some people are famous for their excellent knowledge: they set an example, are kind to others, and are famous all over the world. Together with their like-minded people, they form an academic school with superior wisdom and elegant style

  5. Keep changing your style Constantly changing your ways and methods will confuse people, especially your opponents, arouse their curiosity and distract them. If you always act according to your first thought, others will predict your way of doing things for a long time and frustrate you. It's easy to kill a bird that flies in a straight line, but it's difficult to kill a bird that changes its flight path. Don't always act according to your second idea. If you redo everything twice, others will see through the mechanism. People with bad intentions always want to calculate you. You must have more heart to play chess. Those with excellent chess skills will never take the chess pieces that hit the enemy's heart, let alone let the enemy hold their nose to play chess.

  6. Don't expect too much at the beginning Few things that are praised can exactly meet people's expectations. Reality is always difficult to keep pace with imagination. It is not difficult to imagine the perfection of something, but to achieve that perfection in practice. Imagination and desire are always married, giving birth to things that are very different from real things. No matter how wonderful something is, it can't satisfy our preconceived ideas, so imagination feels cheated. Therefore, beautiful things often cause more disappointment than worship. Hope is a liar. We must control it with insight and judgment in order to make the actual happiness exceed our original expectations. A decent start should be mainly to arouse curiosity, not to strengthen people's expectations. If we exceed our expectations, or if something turns out to be better than we originally expected, we will feel happier. But this truth does not apply to bad things: when an evil is exaggerated in advance and people later find out the truth, they will turn to admiration for it. So what was supposed to be destructive now seems tolerable.

  7. Look for the weakness of others as a handle If you want to impress others, you have your own wonderful skills. You can't rely on determination alone, so you must know how to penetrate others' hearts. Everyone will have their own favorite things according to their own interests. Everyone has an idol to worship. Some people value their names, others value profits, and most people like to have fun. The trick here is to find out what kind of idolatry can attract which kind of people. This is equivalent to getting the key to open the door of other people's desire. You are looking for this "motive force", which is not always something noble or important. Rather, it is usually something humble, for there are always more rebellious than conformist in the world. You should first weigh his personality traits, and then test his weaknesses. As long as you seduce him with what he likes best, he will definitely take the bait.

  8. It's better to be good than rich Perfection depends on quality rather than quantity. Good things in the world are often small and hard to find, and too much will have no reputation. The same is true for people: great people are often dwarfs. Some people praise some books only because they are huge, as if they were written not to exercise our intelligence, but to exercise our arms. It is inevitable to become mediocre only by being broad-minded. The so-called generalists always want to be proficient in their studies, but the result is often a plague. Academic specialization will bear fruit. If you engage in important affairs, you will get a good reputation.

  9. Know to refuse to do something at the right time One of the biggest lessons in life is that you don't know how to refuse. The most important refusal is to refuse to do something for yourself or for others. Some activities are not very important and waste valuable time. The worse thing is to be busy with trivial things, which is worse than doing nothing. To be really cautious, it's not enough to mind others' business. You have to prevent others from meddling in your business. Don't have a strong sense of belonging to others, otherwise you won't belong to yourself. Don't abuse friendship, and don't ask your friends for things they don't want to give. Too much is worse than nothing, especially when dealing with others. As long as you can be moderate and moderate, you will always be favored and respected by others. It is very valuable to be reasonable and restrained, which will benefit people forever. You should have full enthusiasm and care for perfect things, and never spoil your own elegant taste

  10. Be good at listening to insinuations and making good use of them Dealing with people is the most mysterious. This technique can be used to test others' wit and spy on others' minds. There is a kind of insinuation. Its viciousness, carelessness and jealousy are beyond the words, and the poison of passion is implied. This is an invisible thunderbolt that can ruin your reputation. Some people perish only because of an insinuating and vicious remark. Those who are good at using power are not afraid of the conspiracy of everyone and the malice of one person. Another favorable insinuation has the opposite effect and can increase our reputation. But since the reason why these darts came to us was ill intentioned, of course we have to be skilled in receiving darts; Be careful to deal with the dart when it comes. Be patient to guard against it when there is no dart. It is better to be on guard than to know yourself and your enemy. If we guard against others first, we will be able to resolve the attack at any time.

  11. The heart follows the elite and the mouth follows the public Against the tide, it is difficult to find the truth, and danger is everywhere. Only Socrates dared to take such a risk. To think that you are superior to others is to insult others, because it means that you declare others' opinions wrong. In either case, many people will feel unhappy when someone is criticized or praised. Truth belongs to a few. Fraud is despicable, but it is also common. It's hard to judge whether some people are wise by what they say in public. They often don't tell the truth, but just fawning on vulgarity and foolishness, but they also hate this kind of duplicity in private. A wise man avoids being refuted by others as well. He may have been quick to blame, but he didn't do it easily in public. People's emotional freedom should not be violated. They are silent in their hearts, and will never be exposed unless they meet a few reasonable people.

  12. Always keep calm Prudent people always try to maintain self-control forever. This ability shows real personality and mental strength, because people with a big mind are not easily restricted by emotions. Passion is a strange idea that comes from the mind. A little too much will make our judgment sick. If the disease spreads to your mouth, it will inevitably affect your reputation. You should hold yourself completely and thoroughly. No matter when you are in a good time or a bad time, no one will criticize you and say that you are emotionally unstable. Everyone admires you for your excellence.

  13. Have courage and backbone Even a rabbit dares to stroke the beard of a dead lion. Courage, like love, is no joke. As long as it gives in once, it will give in again and again. Since the same difficulties have to be overcome in the future, it's better to solve them as soon as possible. People are always braver in thought than in action. The same should be done with swords: insert them carefully into the scabbard and wait for the opportunity to take them. This is your weapon of self-defense. A weak spirit is more harmful than a weak limb. Many people with outstanding qualities lack this vitality. They look dead and completely surrounded by a depressed atmosphere. There is a wonderful arrangement: let honey and bee stings work together. You have courage and backbone: don't let your spirit become a soft bone.

  14. Make people understand you Let people understand you better than let people remember you, because intelligence is greater than memory. Sometimes you should remind others about the future, and sometimes you should give them advice. Some people don't do what they should do when the time is right, just because they forget it at all. You should give friendly advice and point out the gains and losses. Being sensitive to the situation is a great talent Fu. Once you lack this talent, you will lose many opportunities for success. Let those who see things clearly point out the confusion of others; Let those who lack insight pursue this wisdom. You should be careful when pointing out confusion and releasing confusion. Just click it. If the finger fan is in danger, he / she should be especially careful. When hints are not enough, the best way is to show your elegance and be more open. If the other party has publicly said the word "no", then you should pursue the word "yes" with ingenuity. In most cases, you don't get something because you don't pursue it.

  15. Refuse wisely You can't give everything to everyone. Giving and refusing are equally important, especially for those who give orders. The key to the problem is how to refuse. The refusal of some people is more valuable than the promise of others: sometimes the gilded word "no" is more satisfactory than the promise of the imperial court. Many people always talk about "no" and make a mess of things. They may make concessions afterwards, but others will not favor them because they are disappointing at the beginning. Refuse others, don't refuse too much, let people feel their disappointment bit by bit, and never refuse completely: in that way, people will no longer expect you. There should always be a little aftertaste of hope to sweeten the pain of rejection. Even if you cancel the previous benefits, you should be very polite. Even if there is no action compensation, you might as well use oral benefits to top up. "Can" or "no" is very brief, but it's really painstaking to say it properly.

  16. Learn from heroes Choose a hero as your role model, but you'd better compete with him rather than imitate him. There are all kinds of great men in the world. They choose a top man in their industry as their model, but they don't want to mechanically imitate him, but to surpass him. Alexander wept in front of the tomb of Hercules, but he didn't cry for Hercules, but for himself. He didn't deserve to be famous like Hercules. According to Plutarch's account, Alexander once cried for jealousy at the tomb of Hercules, because the latter was lucky to become a hero and was recorded in Homer's epic and remembered in history... Among all things in the world, only the fame of others can arouse his ambition. The fame of others is like a clarion call that inspires people to move forward. It can make people forget simple jealousy and rise up high and do a noble cause.

  17. Don't keep joking

  18. Be forthright with others Aim high. Great men are never stingy. When talking to others, especially when the topic is unpleasant, you don't have to take into account all kinds of details. Pay attention to some things, but be casual. It's not good to turn a conversation into a trivial inquiry. Show a polite and noble magnanimity. It's a kind of demeanor. One of the keys to dominating others is to pretend to be indifferent to things. Learn to ignore most things that happen to your friends, acquaintances, especially your enemies. Excessive caution is unpleasant. If this is part of your character, you will be very annoying. To brood over unpleasant things is to be mentally ill. Remember that people usually act according to their nature: it has something to do with their hearts and abilities.

  19. Think twice before you act If a person has a premonition of failure when doing something, the bystander will clearly see this; When the bystander is the enemy, he will see more clearly. When your judgment wavers in emotional impulses, calm down and find it extremely stupid. It's very dangerous to take on a thing when you doubt its wisdom. The safer way is to do nothing. Prudence will not bet on possibility. It is always under the control of reason; When something is met with prudent condemnation when it is brewing, how can it have a good ending? Even resolutions adopted by consensus after careful review will go wrong. What can we expect from those things that are subject to rational doubt and criticism?

  20. Hide your intentions The most practical knowledge exists in disguise. He who shows his cards may lose. Don't let other people's attention prevail over your prudence and caution. When your opponent peeps into your mind like a bobcat, you should cover it up like squid inkjet. Don't let anyone find your intention, don't let others foresee it, and don't let others hinder or boast about your intention.

    1. Don't scold others There is a kind of person who has a rough and violent temper and can make everything as unforgivable as a heinous crime. They did so not out of a moment of rage, but out of their own temperament. They condemn everyone, either for something he has done or for something he will do. This exposed a temperament worse than cruelty, which was really terrible. They are so exaggerated in criticizing others that they can render a problem that is the size of sesame as big as watermelon and deny it completely. They are ungrateful foremen who can turn heaven into a prison. In their fury, they pushed everything to the extreme. A good man can forgive all faults. They will insist that other people's intentions are good, or they make mistakes only by carelessness.

    2. Have friends They are your other life. In the eyes of a friend, all friends are kind and wise. When you are with them, everything will eventually go well. You are as valuable as others want or think you are, and they will say good things about you only when their hearts are fond of you. Nothing moves a man more than helping him; The best way to win friends is to act like a friend. Most and the best part of what we have is inseparable from others. You have no choice but to get along with your friends or with your enemies. Win a friend every day. If he can't be your close friend, at least he can be your supporter. Choose friends carefully. Some of them will be people you can trust all your life.

    3. Often deal with people with principles Love principled people and win their favor. Even if they oppose you, they will ensure to be honest with you. Because they are open and aboveboard, they would rather fight with noble people than conquer despicable people. Despicable people have no sense of responsibility, so we often have nothing to do with them. There is no true friendship between villains. If they have no sense of morality, their words will not be credible, even though they sometimes say sweet words. Stay away from people without a sense of honor, because if they don't value honor, they despise morality. Honor is the throne of integrity.

    4. Those who do stupid things are not stupid. Those who are not good at hiding are stupid Hide your feelings, but more importantly: hide your mistakes. People are not sages, who can make mistakes, but they are different: wise people are good at whitewashing mistakes; Fools boast about the mistakes they have not yet committed. The so-called reputation is mostly caused by skillful theft, not by aboveboard behavior. If you can't keep yourself clean, I advise you to be careful in your words and deeds. Once a mistake is made, it will become eternal hatred. Even if the great people make a big mistake, it is like an eclipse of the sun and moon, which can not escape the eyes of the public. Don't even reveal your weaknesses to yourself if possible. Another way of dealing with the world also applies: learn to forget.

    5. Never complain Complaining always discredits you. This will not attract pity and comfort, but will stir up passion, impulse and arrogance, and urge those who listen to our complaints to emulate those we complain about. Once the complaint is revealed to others, it seems that the damage and insult to us by others can be forgiven. Complaining about past pollution leads to future pollution. They want help and comfort, but those who listen are only happy, even contemptuous. Praising others for their kindness to you in order to win more from them is a better strategy. When you tell how those who are not present benefit you, you are asking those who are present to keep up with it, and you will get the same reward. A wise man should never publicize shame or contempt, but only publicize the respect of others. In this way, he will have friends and halve his enemies.

    6. Be practical and know how to behave People judge things not by what they actually are, but by what they seem to be. Not only capable, but also know how to show their expertise, which is double capable. What is invisible is almost nonexistent. When you don't put on the cloak of good reason, the truth itself is not valued. Few are prudent, but many are easily deceived. Fraud is prevalent. There are few people who live up to the name by looking at its appearance without saying anything. A good appearance is the best pass for its inner perfection.

    7. I'd rather be drunk with others than wake up alone It's better to be drunk with others than wake up alone, said the politician. If everyone is drunk, I will be drunk with him; If you wake up alone, you will be regarded as crazy. The important thing is to follow the current. Sometimes the best knowledge is to know nothing or pretend to know nothing, because we have to live with others. If you live alone, you may be as upright as God, but you may also be as savage as a beast. However, I would like to revise this maxim and declare that it is better to wake up with others than get drunk alone. Some people's Maverick is just chasing fantasy.

    8. Don't disagree Naysayers can only win their own tiredness and the hatred of others. Smart people should try to curb this. Those who disagree with everything are creative, but those who are stubborn are almost fools. These people turn a friendly conversation into a war of words. They are more like enemies to their friends and acquaintances than irrelevant people. When delicacies are delicious, arguments are hard to chew, and refutation often frustrates people. They are cold and annoying fools.

    9. Grasp the key points of things We should grasp the key of affairs. Many people only see trees, not forests, or find the wrong object. Although they talk endlessly and do a lot of useless reasoning and analysis, they can't grasp the core of things. They circle back and forth, exhausting themselves and others, but they don't touch the edge of the point at all. Most people who are confused and don't know how to clear their heads. They waste time and patience on the best things to give up, but they don't have time and patience to deal with the important things.

    10. Wise men are self-sufficient The wise man, who lost his wife, son and all his property in a fire, stood up from the ruins and said, "all my wealth is on me." A friend - a learned man - can represent Rome and the rest of the universe. It refers to Cantor, an old Roman politician and soldier. Cicero once praised his ability and making friends... Make yourself a friend and you can survive on your own. If other people's cultivation and intelligence are not higher than you, why do you need him? You will depend on yourself, and the greatest happiness is the same as the highest existence. A man who lives alone is not a barbarian at all. He is a wise man in many ways and a God in every way.

    11. Don't bother Especially when the sea of your life - people, friends and acquaintances - is stormy. People's social life has its own ups and downs and storms. The wise way is to avoid in a calm harbor and wait for the waves to subside, and your emergency measures often make things worse. Whether it is the way of heaven or humanity, everything should be natural. Sometimes doctors don't know when to prescribe medicine. Some stand idly by is a good way to calm down the storm on earth. If you bow your head temporarily now, you will conquer it in the future. It's easy to dirty a river. But you can't make the water clear without clarifying it. You can only let it clear itself. The way to stir up chaos is not to be good at it anyway

    12. Don't fill the space left by the giant Don't fill the space left by giants. If not, you need to make sure you have more talent to undertake this important task. In order to share equally with our predecessors, we need to double our predecessors' talents. It takes a lot of effort to make people appreciate you; And if you want not to be obliterated by the glory of your predecessors, you need more clever tricks. It is very difficult to fill in a large blank, because people often regard the past as the present. It is not enough to be on a par with our predecessors, because the pioneers have occupied all the scenery. If you want to dispel the aura of your predecessors, you must have extraordinary genius.

    13. Everything is reserved Save your energy. In most cases, it cannot be exposed and its strength cannot be exhausted. Even if knowledge is, it should be properly retained. In this way, you will be more perfect. Always save some resilience. Timely assistance is more valuable than all-out efforts. A prudent man can always steer his course safely. In this sense, we can also believe this bitter fallacy: half is more than all.

    14. Don't abuse the human kindness owed to you by others Key friends should stay at the critical time and don't abuse their goodwill on unimportant things, just like keeping gunpowder dry before encountering danger. If you trade more for less, what will remain in the future? The love that can protect you or the person who can protect you is far more precious than everything. Even the God of fate is jealous of all that nature and fame give to the good. Holding people is more important than holding things

    15. Don't get too close to people Don't get too close to others or let others get too close to you, otherwise you will lose the advantage that integrity gives you and lose your reputation. The stars never rub with us, so they will always be brilliant. Divinity needs dignity, and closeness breeds contempt. The most commonly used things are often the least cherished, because the more contact, the more obvious the shortcomings; Silence can hide defects. Don't get too close to anyone. Don't get close to your boss, or danger will come; Don't get close to your subordinates, because it's beneath your dignity. The most important thing is not to associate with mobs. They are arrogant and stupid. They don't see your kindness, but they think it's your duty. Being too close is like being vulgar.

    16. Deep and implicit is the sign of genius An open heart is like a letter spread out in front of everyone. There should be a hidden city in your heart: huge space and small gullies can precipitate important things. Implication comes from self-control. Being able to be silent is the real victory. The key to being prudent in life lies in inner peace and restraint. When someone tries to find out your mind, offend you, try to control you, or set a trap to make the smartest people reveal their secrets, the things you deposit are threatened.

    17. Don't be too persistent in everything Fools are stubborn, and stubborn people are fools. The more wrong their views are, the more stubborn they are. In fact, even if you are really right, you might as well make some concessions: people will eventually admit that you are right and praise your generosity. Stubbornness brings you more loss than you gain from defeating others. What you want to defend is not truth, but rudeness. Some people are so stubborn that they can't convince him at all. Once stubbornness marries fantasy, it combines into eternal stupidity. Be firm in your will, but not in your judgment. Of course, there are always some exceptions. At that time, you should not retreat again and again: once you change your judgment, you must not wander in action.

    18. When people are happy, do it boldly Great and noble people would rather do good than benefit, because if they trouble others, they will inevitably feel guilty or regretful. When you repay others, you should do it yourself; When retaliating against others, others should do it on their behalf. What handle should you give others so that they can constantly vent their resentment and nag when they are dissatisfied. The resentment of mobs is like rabies. They don't know where the pain is. They just bite the hoop on their mouth. Nothing wrong with a tight hoop, innocent people suffer.

    19. Know how to appreciate others A man can always surpass others in one place, and there will always be a stronger person surpassing him in this place. Learning to appreciate everyone will benefit you immensely. A wise man respects everyone because he knows that people have their own strengths and that success is not easy. A fool despises others, half out of ignorance, half because what he likes is always the worst.

      1. Don't stick to the first impression Some people regard their initial impression as the main room that Ming media are marrying, but regard the later as a side room. As delusions always come first, the truth is hard to find. Don't let the first goal in front of you fill your will, and don't let the first idea occupy your brain, which will make you appear to have no depth. Some people, like newly bought wine glasses, will be full of the smell of the wine first put into the glass, regardless of whether the wine is good or bad. When others know your limitations, they will plan maliciously. Those with ulterior motives will dye what you are easy to believe into any color they like. We should always take time to think things over. Alexander always kept a pair of ears to listen to the other side of the story. Pay attention to your second and third impressions. Being easily moved shows that you lack depth, which is almost the same as being emotional.

      2. Don't show others what you haven't done yet Everything should be perfect before being appreciated. Everything can't be shaped at the beginning. At this time, it will always leave a incomplete image. Even after finishing it, it will turn us off if we remember that it was an imperfect thing. Scanning a huge object at a glance makes it impossible for us to observe its parts, but this satisfies our aesthetic feelings. Everything does not exist before it exists; When they begin to exist, they are still close to nonexistence. Even visiting the cooking process of one of the most delicious dishes can turn you off. Real masters are careful not to let their ongoing work be seen. Learn from nature. As long as your work is not beautiful, don't show it to others.

      3. Allow others to joke about themselves, but don't joke about others The former is a kind of magnanimity, and the latter will put you in trouble. A man who always loses his temper at a party is more annoying than his appearance. A good joke makes you feel cheerful, and knowing how to accept it is a sign of talent. If you show that you are angry, it will only make others more critical of you. Sometimes jokes should be enough. The most serious questions often arise in jokes. Nothing requires more vigilance and skill than joking. Before you joke, find out to what extent others can stand your joke.

      4. Don't be too docile The cunning of poisonous snakes should be reconciled with the innocence of pigeons. No one is easier to fool than a good man. People who never lie are easy to trust others, and people who never lie always trust others. Being fooled by others is not a sign of stupidity. Sometimes it's a good thing. There are two kinds of people who are good at anticipating danger: one is to learn by paying their own price, and the other kind of smarter people learn a lot by observing others. You should be able to foresee difficulties carefully and get out of them with the same shrewdness. Don't be so kind that you give others a chance to show that your heart is too bad. You should be half a snake and half a pigeon. This is not a devil, but a genius.

      5. Express yourself clearly, not only simple but also fluent Some people have many pregnancies, but they often have dystocia. Because they can't express clearly, children with ideas - concepts and ideas - can't see the sun. Some people are like wine jars. Although they have a lot in their belly, they can pour out very little; But some people can express their ideas incisively and vividly. Will to dare to make decisions, wisdom to express clearly, both are great talents. People with clear ideas are praised, while people with confused minds are abandoned; However, sometimes vague expression is much better than vulgar expression. But if we don't know what we're talking about, how can others understand when they listen?

      6. Don't start your life when it is about to end Some people do nothing at first, and then try again, until they are exhausted. You should do the most important things first, and then take care of the incidental things if you have time later. Some people just want to succeed but don't want to struggle. Some people learn to do the least important things first, and postpone those things that bring fame and benefits to their later years. Some people become conceited as soon as they have a little wealth. The important way of life is to seek knowledge.

      7. Know how to give kindness A little at a time, but often. Don't give too much kindness that people can't repay. Giving too much is not giving, but selling. Don't exhaust the gratitude of others. If you are grateful and can't repay them, they won't deal with you anymore. If you want to lose them, you can achieve your goal by making them owe you a lot. If they don't want to repay, they will go far away, even against you. The statue doesn't want to see his sculptor, and the benefactor would rather never see his benefactor again. Remember the subtlety of giving: only an eager and inexpensive gift is what the recipient likes.

      8. Let those who depend on you encounter difficulties Dangerous situations have turned many people into real people at certain times: people learn to swim when they are about to drown. Many people discover their value and knowledge at this time, but otherwise, they will be buried in cowardice. Adversity gives us a chance to win fame, and when a noble man finds his reputation threatened, he can do more than a thousand people can do. The Catholic monarch Isabel knew this truth (like many others), and the fame of Captain Columbus and the fame of many others should be attributed to the help of this specific moment, which has created many great men.

      9. If you don't know much, stick to what you think you are most sure of If you don't know much, stick to what you think you are most sure of. People may not think you are smart, but they will think you are down-to-earth. People who know the truth of things can take risks and hire their own imagination; But if you take risks without knowing anything, you will kill yourself. Everything follows the rules, because there is nothing wrong with what has been tried and tested. For those who don't know much, this is the best shortcut. In any case, it's safer to be sure than to be mysterious.

      10. Earn respect by not appearing: Appearing in public damages reputation, but not appearing will increase reputation. Once an invisible person who was originally regarded as a lion appears, he becomes a mouse. If gifts are always played with, they will lose brilliance, because most people can only see the fur, not the essence. Imagination is more powerful than vision. Deception comes from the ear, but it usually comes from the eye.

      11. Reliability is the cornerstone of excellent personality A man of character keeps his promise and does what he says under agreed conditions. They have deep leadership characteristics and are the object of help because they know how to care for others and are trustworthy. If you know how to respect yourself, do your best to what you promise. Even if it will cause your own inconvenience, you should also perform it, and others will respect you for it.

      12. Boasting about yourself is actually a manifestation of inferiority complex A truly capable person doesn't have to boast about his achievements. His actions can express everything. Boasting and boasting actually means that you don't really know yourself or know your value in the world. Baseball team manager Tommy. LaSorda noticed that some people always looked on coldly and waited for things to happen; Some people are curious and guess what will happen; In addition, some people will practice it and make things happen. Try to be the last kind of person and express everything with action. Prove your ability to others, which can win the admiration of others more than just saying nothing. It's easy to open your mouth, but it can't prove your ability after all.

      13. No one is perfect, and no one is worthless Man is a rather complex individual. Many religions and great literary works are developed by focusing on the internal struggle between good and evil of mankind. This inner struggle has existed since the existence of human beings. But when we recognize our inner war, we will not be more sensitive to blame others. Psychologists point out that there are no so-called bad people, only so-called bad behavior. Try to find out the advantages in your inner essence (including others, of course). Maintain these advantages and strive to improve other deficiencies. Just like the plants in the garden, as long as they are regularly fertilized, watered and weeded, their personality will grow stronger and flourish.

      14. Focus on the cultivation of character, and fame will be established naturally Most people have more or less been misunderstood by quite important people around them. They decided that some of the things we did to make them unhappy had ulterior motives. In fact, we had no such intention at all. This misunderstanding can often be reversed over time. The same is true of misunderstandings about character and reputation. If your reputation is damaged for some reason, these misunderstandings will be clarified because others find out what kind of person you are actually. If your foundation is strong enough, you don't need to care about these misunderstandings, and others will soon understand what kind of person you are. You should spend time and energy on self-examination and self-improvement, and build a firm character, so that you don't have to worry about other people's ideas.

      15. The greatest achievements come from struggle Emerson once said, "when we are really confused, injured, or even painful, we will generate strength from our weakness and arouse anger with unpredictable power." Competition and struggle encourage us to overcome adversity and push us to the peak of success. Take the struggle in suffering as an opportunity for personal growth to build character, because it is only the struggle, not the final result. When you think what you do is right, even if people all over the world seem to oppose you and people who know you question your judgment, there is no need to change your mind. As long as you persist, you will succeed one day. At that time, others will come and tell you that they always believe you can do it.

      16. Do not prevaricate and prevaricate afterwards We often find that those who are considered to be famous overnight have worked in obscurity for a long time before they become famous. Success is the accumulation of efforts. It usually takes a long time and careful planning to climb to the top in any industry. If you want to get to the top of the ladder of success, you need to always maintain the spirit of taking the initiative and taking the lead. Even if you face work that is not challenging or fun, you can finally get a return. You will become a boss or leader because you have formed the habit of always taking the lead. The people who get the best job are those who prove by their actions that they have the courage to take responsibility and are trustworthy.

        1. If you are not ready to take responsibility for others' work, don't covet others' authority Do you often look around and think that "as long as I have the opportunity to do any of their work, I will do better than them", but ignore the price they pay and the accumulated knowledge in order to get this job and keep such a position. Of course, it's easy to make a big speech after others have done something, but a more constructive way is to recognize others' contributions and praise others' achievements. If you want others to have a higher recognition of you, you should show your ability and let your boss and colleagues know that you are capable of taking on great responsibilities. The greatest reward in the world belongs to those who can keep their promises forever.

        2. There are two kinds of people who can never surpass others: one who only does the work assigned by others, and the other who never does the work assigned by others It's hard to say which of the following is more frustrating: always being the first to be dismissed, or wasting energy in the same monotonous and humble work? The first case is because you didn't do the job well, while the second case is because you "only do" the work assigned by others. By doing things in any way, you may escape for a while, but you will never succeed. In the previous industrial era, the ability to obey orders was very important, but in today's era of enlightenment and high technology, personal initiative and enterprising are more valued. Technology makes many management positions seem out of date. Each of us wants to spend less and do more. Decide what to do and take action immediately without waiting for others to tell you. Know your company and your work clearly, then you can predict what to do, and then do it one by one!

        3. If you are the employer, are you satisfied with today's work At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what others think of you. What really matters is what you think of yourself. Looking back on the day's work, ask yourself, "do I devote all my time and wisdom? If I were the boss, would I like the company's employees to be the same as me? Or would I want the people I hire to be more proactive?" When you become a person who you are willing to work with or hire, you will not be far from running your own company. Otherwise, at least you will become an important cadre in the company. More importantly, you can sleep calmly because you know that you have done your best to get the reward you deserve, and you have fulfilled the standards you set for yourself.

        4. The most appropriate way to talk about others is to only praise the advantages of others There is an old adage that says, "if you can't say good things about others, you'd better not say anything." This maxim is more precious in modern society. In any organization - big or small - rumors from the root of the tongue are never-ending. What is certain is that when you say bad things about others, they will always come into each other's ears quickly, and there is no doubt that if you say right and wrong in front of us, you will also talk about us in front of others. What you should do is not only not to speak ill of others, but also not to join the dialogue about human rights and wrongs. Get in touch with people who know how to do business, and you'll never have to apologize for maliciously criticizing others.

        5. If you are sure you are right, you don't have to worry about what others think Those who have made brilliant achievements in life must be happy to stay away from the masses. Only a few people were able to win. When climbing the ladder of success, you will find that many people belittle your achievements because of envy and jealousy. Nevertheless, as long as you have firm faith, nothing can hinder you. Act according to your own ideas, constantly verify and revise what you know, so as to develop confidence in your beliefs. At the same time, use stone's success principle to identify, form correlation, classify, understand and actually apply the knowledge in various fields, so as to solve your own problems and guide your ideas.

        6. If you don't know what you're after, what else do you expect? Most people who are floating and sinking in the world do not know that their future is made by themselves. A few people who have made great achievements are those who know what they are pursuing and have the ability to complete the plan. These people know what they want and how to get it. Your goal should be clear, measurable, assessed, and set a completion date, and divided into more manageable parts. Determine what you want to achieve, set a date, list ways, regularly check progress, correct direction if necessary, and never give up.

        7. Observe those who are ahead of you and learn from them One of the surest ways to succeed is to carefully observe those who succeed, study the norms they follow, and then practice them by yourself. What are the criteria for success? As Carnegie said, the criterion of success should be clear and true, and can be learned by anyone who is willing to spend time studying and pursuing. After careful observation, you will find that everyone is the object of your study. Because no matter whether you know each other or not, everyone is more or less worthy of your imitation. Of course, you can also imitate the great men of the past. Most importantly, you have to study their lives, find out their opportunities to win, learn and apply them in your own life

        8. Remember that kites can fly high against the wind Recognize this from the beginning: it is not easy to succeed. If you want to succeed, you have to be like a kite, fight against the strong wind, and then you can rise to the peak. Based on the belief of success, in order to move forward firmly and not afraid of the difficulties encountered along the way. Make sure your faith can support you and endure all difficulties and obstacles in the journey to success. When you know exactly what you are doing, when you have a clear goal and implementation plan, you may have to fight the wind around you, but you don't have the fear of being blown down. The stronger the wind, the higher you will fly.

        9. There will be no completion without starting As the old saying goes: "no step, no even a thousand miles." You may have seen some people look back on their lives and say, "if I could do something different... If I could make good use of it when the opportunity comes...", these unsatisfied lives are filled with countless "ifs", and their lives are over before they really start. Life is full of many opportunities, enough to make you famous or depressed. Whether you want to take the initiative and make good use of the opportunity depends on your own decision. Unless you act, you will be doomed to a mediocre life. So stop procrastinating and do it today

        10. If it's not your job and you do it, this may be your opportunity Someone once observed and found: why can't we confirm when the opportunity comes? That's because opportunities always pretend to be "problems". When a customer, colleague or boss asks a question, it may be creating a precious opportunity for you. How does the company form for that person? Who is responsible for this problem? Who is responsible for solving the problem? That's not important. He just wants to fix the problem. Next time, when customers, colleagues or your boss ask you to help, do something outside your job instead of entrusting others to do it, help! Look at the situation from the perspective of others. If the roles change, how would you like to solve it? Take the initiative to seek answers, solve problems and make the whole plan sustainable.

        11. Completing small things is the first step to achieve great things Success focuses more on the process than the result. Great achievements are always followed by a series of small successes. Most of the people have made progress step by step and climbed up slowly in the institutional class. At the beginning of our career, we will be assigned to jobs commensurate with our ability and experience. Until we prove our value to the group, we can gradually be entrusted with important tasks and more work. When you take on a position, in addition to completing your work, you should also see the next work. Do your best to finish your work every day and continue to plan for the future. See every day as an opportunity to learn, which will make you more valuable in the company and the group. Once there is a chance of promotion, the boss will think of you first.

        12. Opportunities always exist in failure and adversity Samuel Johnson once observed that if you want to successfully achieve your expectations, you must first concentrate. You may also find that your mind seems to become sharper in the face of the most difficult difficulties. Despair often proves that you are better than you think. However, except for accidental or temporary blows or deaths, there are few situations in life that require immediate response. When you feel that the whole world seems to be against you and nothing can be solved smoothly, you might as well stop for a while and think about the whole situation - and then develop the most appropriate action plan, a most promising action plan.

        13. Don't ignore the details There is an old saying: if you can handle small things well, big things will naturally develop smoothly. This coincides with "every work is composed of many details". If any part of the matter is ignored, it will cause big problems in the future. If you can't handle the details, such as paperwork, expense accounts, or other annoying chores - set a time in your daily (or weekly, monthly) work cycle to deal with those boring tasks. Prepare your mood to deal with these things. You are likely to find that these jobs are not as annoying as you originally thought.

        14. If you have to disappoint someone, don't be the one who helps you when you are frustrated We are forgetful. Our minds are easily occupied by desires and things in front of us, so we can easily forget our friends. We often choose between what we want to do and what we must do. Before you make such a decision, make sure you don't turn your back on your true friends, those who help you when you need them; No matter when or under any circumstances, you can't give up these loyal friends. When you turn your back on a friend who helped you when you needed it most, you not only hurt each other's friendship, but also hurt your self-esteem. No matter how heavy your burden was at that time, if you let your friends down, you also let yourself down. If you really can't avoid this situation, think of other ways to compensate them.

        15. Remember: what you reveal in your tone is often more than what you say In a conflict, a proposal or compromise by one party may save a partnership that faces rupture. Employees who lose confidence can be inspired again by your careful choice of words. Good managers know to look beyond the status quo. But the tone of your voice reveals emotional reactions such as anger, fear and disappointment, which will be remembered by others when it outweighs the wisdom shown on the surface of the sentence. In all company organizations, people who know how to control their emotions are at the top. After you take the leadership position, others begin to pay attention to all the signals from you. If you want to inspire your subordinates and show that you care about all team members, you have to learn self-control and carefully choose the way you speak to them.
