The pattern has been elongated.
There is a proverb: no matter how big a pancake is, it is bigger than the pot that burns it. The philosophy of this sentence is: you can bake a big cake, but no matter how big the cake you bake, it is limited by the pot that bakes it. The future we want is like this pie. Whether you can bake a satisfactory pie depends entirely on the pot that burns the pie-this is the so-called "pattern".
The most important thing to determine the model is the vision.
When we are on the second floor, we will see garbage all over the floor; On the 22nd floor, you can have a panoramic view of the whole city. Different floors will have different horizons and mentality. People are the same. When we step into a new height and reach a higher level, our horizons and minds will be different.
What kind of pattern, what kind of fate People with a big pattern are open-minded, will not sell themselves short because of unfavorable environment, and will not give up on themselves because of lack of ability. People with a small pattern often complain because their lives are not satisfactory, because they can't do anything when they encounter a little setback, and when they look at problems, they often lose sight of one thing and become mediocre.
In life, many people's development is often limited by their own "limitations". They have no direction in life, can't see the future clearly, and eventually fail. Those who seek great things must lay out the overall situation. For this chess game of life, we must first enlarge our own pattern. The big picture is to cut into life from a big perspective and strive to stand higher, see farther and do bigger. The big pattern determines the direction of things, and controlling the big pattern controls the situation.
Do things according to your character, don't "be smart"
It is an eternal truth that virtue is the source of water and only the wave of water. Being a man in advance, your character is not enough, and you will not succeed in doing things. No matter how smart and capable a person is, no matter how good his background is, if he doesn't know how to be a man, his personality will be poor, and his career will be greatly affected. Be a man before you can do great things. This is an old saying. Our ancestors have long emphasized the importance of being a man first.
Ability is very important, but one thing is more important than ability, and that is character. Personality is a person's highest academic record, the basis of showing his ability and a rare and precious quality label in today's society. Character and ability, like left hand and right hand:
People are incomplete without ability and character.
Good character can change people's bad feng shui and make good feng shui icing on the cake; And bad products will ruin good feng shui, and even the best feng shui will not play a role.
Character is the most effective passport, and kindness is the highest shrewdness. Carrying things by virtue is to tolerate everything by virtue. The earth, with its broad and heavy virtue, contains everything and everything. A gentleman should follow the example of the earth and be kind to everything. Virtue is a kind of sightseeing mentality, which can accommodate different people, different viewpoints and the faults of others.
A kind character is the highest shrewdness. Everyone is willing to associate with a kind-hearted person, because such a person makes people feel practical, secure, respectful and trusting from the bottom of their hearts, so they can accumulate popularity and popularity, which is conducive to doing things everywhere. And popularity is wealth, and some people have money. Therefore, virtue is a blessing, and it is the greatest confidence in being a man.
We do things with character, but we are most afraid of being clever. People who love to play tricks may succeed for a while and enjoy the scenery for a while, but they will eventually fail. Just like building a house, you have to build it brick by brick to be stable. If you cut corners, it seems to save money, but the result is ruin.
Zeng Guofan, a famous figure in Qing Dynasty, fought with a clumsy spirit. Zeng Guofan was good at fighting stupid wars and stupid wars all his life, but he was not good at fighting clever wars.
He is not greedy for small profits, does not seek strange plans, and works slowly and steadily. He said, "Keep your word steady." He never fought an unprepared and uncertain battle in his life. He made great efforts to study the enemy-enemy situation, combat deployment, logistics supply, how to rescue in case of unfavorable situation, etc., and then made up his mind to fight.
Zeng Guofan's life was sincere to others, with the aim of being clumsy. Throughout his life, he asked himself "not to talk big, not to seek false reputation" and to do things "rather to take advantage of my convenience (appropriate) than to take advantage of others (appropriate)". Others deceived him with the cleverness of a lie, but he still treated him honestly.
In history, people who are too clever and too calculating are unfortunate in the end. These people feel pain for many times more time and depth than those who are not good at calculating. In other words, although they can calculate, they have no good life. "A Dream of Red Mansions" said that the authorities were fascinated and unpredictable, but they missed Qingqing's life.
How far you can go depends on your determination to achieve your goal. Everyone who pursues dreams is not lost to his opponent, nor to the environment, but to himself who does not persist, dedicated to himself who pursues dreams, you, me and him.
