The philosophy of life in the couplets in Li Ka-shing’s office
The couplet in Li Ka-shing’s office is: Make the best wishes, make middle-level connections, and enjoy the lower blessings; Choose a high place to stand, find a flat place to live, and walk toward a broad place.”
These 24 words condense a profound philosophy of life. "Making high aspirations, making middle-level fate, and enjoying low-level blessings" means having great ambitions. However, in normal life, just seeking middle-level fate and living an ordinary life does not mean that He wants to be extravagant and extravagant. This can be seen from the fact that Mr. Li Ka-shing only wears cheap watches that cost tens of yuan. Li Ka-shing is indifferent to these things of fame, wealth and enjoyment, unlike some mainland upstarts who only have a 500 yuan when they have a little money. Wan's commendation shows his status as a rich man;
"Stand high, sit down low, and act with leniency" means that you should be far-sighted when looking at problems, be low-key in life, and leave room for things to happen. This is actually the golden mean. Li Ka-shing has never made malicious acquisitions in his life, nor has he sought his own interests by attacking others, unlike a certain boss in mainland China who did not hesitate to slander the Disney Company in order to build momentum for his own amusement park.
Look at the top, middle, and bottom, and look at the height, flatness, and width. When you are on the top, think of the bottom. When you stand high, you look for the width. Therefore, no matter how complex the contradiction is, you can change without being alarmed or in danger. Without chaos, you can both create a career and maintain a career.
To "make high aspirations" and "choose a high place to establish" is to have lofty ideals and ambitions. If a guard holds a small tree, he will fill the sea; if he dances in the sky, his strong ambition will always be there." If the ambition is not established, nothing can be accomplished in the world. Moreover, often the higher the goal a person pursues, the less his talent and wisdom will. The faster you develop, the greater your contribution to society will be.
"Forging a moderate relationship" and "sitting on an equal footing" means being down-to-earth, active and steady. If you don't have a reputation, you won't have a good reputation. After the climax, it is likely to be a trough. Therefore, everything will be accomplished if you are cautious and will fail if you are not hesitant. Half.
To "enjoy the lower blessings" and "walk towards the wider world" means to be strict with yourself in life and leave room for things to be done, which means you lose what you have; If you don't know how to stop, you will lose your original desire. This is just as Zhuge Liang said: "Quietness cultivates one's character, frugality cultivates one's virtue." Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no progress."
