Do you know Liu Bang's success?

Liu bang walked away in the torture of injury, walking calmly and without any nostalgia, which was quite different from Qin Shihuang.

Why?

Because he believes in life!

In the last chapter, we mentioned what he said when he refused to be treated by a doctor:

"I take the world with a cloth three-foot sword. Isn't this destiny takes a hand? Life is in heaven! Although what is good about Bian Que? "

It is not difficult to see from this sentence that Liu Bang not only believes in "life and death have life", but also "wealth is in the sky".

In other words, Liu Bang believes that all his achievements today are due to "fate".

This may be the way to success in Liu Bang's eyes!

The road to success is fate? No way. Are you kidding?

In the eyes of many people, Liu Bang must be propagating feudal superstitions again, knowing all about nonsense all day, and as a result, he crippled himself.

In fact, this sentence should come from Liu Bang's heart.

It is a miracle that Liu Bang was born in cloth and conquered the world at the age of 48 and became emperor in just five years.

So it is no wonder that Liu Bang thinks it is "destiny"!

So is it really fate?

We might as well discuss what is "fate" first.

Life exists objectively. You can't believe it. Different people have different lives!

Although life should not be divided into high and low, there are really good and bad.

Wang Sicong's life is better than the average person, because he has a rich father.

There was a paragraph circulating on the Internet, listing the backgrounds of entrepreneurs such as Ma Yun, Wang Jianlin and Wang Shi, and mocking them for not being able to succeed casually.

Because their father has no relatives.

If anyone has it, it means that their father is too casual.

A good father may not stand up and support his son with great fanfare, but he can provide an endorsement of trust that ordinary people don't have at a critical time.

Otherwise, Ma Yun, who is "rat-headed and rat-eyed", could not have so many coincidences from the beginning.

So in general, the first bucket of gold is more or less dependent on life.

Some people may not accept what I said, but it's true. Of course, this is not the whole truth.

If it's all, it's no fun for people with bad lives to live.

Fortunately, there is also "luck" behind "fate". Whether fate is good or bad, it needs to be used or operated the day after tomorrow, otherwise it may lead to good fate and bad results.

So we can't ignore the gap between people's innate destiny, that is, we must believe in fate.

Only by facing up to this gap can we know how to succeed.

If analyzed in this way, does Liu Can Bond's belief in fate make sense?

Some people may say, how can Liu Can have a good life without the emperor's father?

This involves what life is.

What you can't choose when you are born should be life.

For example, people often say, I was born with it, that's what I'm talking about.

No matter what life is, it will always be reflected in human body or consciousness, and the place where life can be concentrated is human appearance.

Appearance is generally understood as face, that is, face

Therefore, the Chinese character "fate" is actually a face with a nose and eyes.

Different faces represent different lives to some extent.

Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying that "fortune tellers tell fortunes".

Now it's called "face value" and "looking at people's faces" and even invented a word called "looking at faces"

The reason why the live broadcast is so hot is to fight for the value. To put it bluntly, it is to fight for face and fight for dad.

So a good life is simply: should men be handsome and women be beautiful?

Definitely not. If so, it would be superficial. Let's all go for plastic surgery!

In the past, when you said that a person had a good life, you often said that he had "wealth";

Don't talk about it now. It's too corny. It's usually called affinity.

WeChat friends circle used to be popular in the sun, and there was often a sentence next to the picture:

"Don't look at the face, mainly look at temperament!"

This temperament is friendly to some extent.

And affinity is very important for a person's life.

Some people are naturally cute, everyone loves them, flowers bloom and fall, and when they meet for the first time, people feel discharged.

Think back to whether there is such a person around you.

Liu bang should be such a person, a person with extraordinary appearance.

History books have mentioned Liu Bang's appearance and characteristics in many places, the most direct of which is the record in Historical Records. Biography of Emperor Gaozu:

"High-impedance, the dragon must have a long face, beautiful beards, and there are seventy-two sunspots on the left. Benevolence and love, happiness and generosity. "

Dragon must have a high nose;

Long Yan means round eyebrows;

A beautiful beard is a beautiful beard;

There are seventy-two moles on the left leg;

Be kind and kind to people, generous and open-minded.

This kind of appearance description is still relatively general. Even if it is detailed and there are photos, it is difficult to fully reflect Liu Bang's affinity.

Because affinity emanates from the inside out, through facial expressions and body language.

How can a photo be fully reflected?

Historical records? There is also an evaluation of Liu Bang's appearance, which comes from Liu Bang's father-in-law Lv Gong:

"I don't like people very much. There are many people. There is no such thing as a season, I hope the season loves me! "

Although there is no direct description of Liu Bang's appearance, it expresses Lv Gong's true feelings about Liu Bang:

"I'm good at visiting fortune-teller, and I've seen it for many people, but it's not as good as your Liu Ji. I hope you can be careful! "

It is with this feeling that Lv Gong married his 20-year-old daughter Lv Zhi to Liu Bang, a diaosi overage youth.

It can be seen how strong Liu Bang's affinity is!

This is life!

It is also the most basic element of Liu Bang's success, and many other successful characteristics have developed from here.

But can you succeed by affinity alone? Can't you succeed without affinity?

Certainly not!

As the saying goes:

"People can't judge by appearances, and the sea water can't be measured."

It is a negation of the phenomenology.

And "the golden jade is outside, but the defeat is among them" is a mockery of those who only have appearances.

Good looks are innate. Use it the day after tomorrow to shine, otherwise it will be useless.

Bad looks, as long as you work hard the day after tomorrow, you will achieve extraordinary things. Such examples abound, such as Ma Yun.

Of course, having a good appearance will definitely take the lead, and Liu Bang is like this.

So people around him were willing to associate with him at that time, and they didn't have to pay for drinking, because no one would want to associate with a likable person.

In the words of ordinary people:

"Blessed!"

Therefore, Liu Bang had many friends since he was a child. He was naturally active and could not stay at home and wander around making friends.

With more friends, you can broaden your horizons. When you broaden your horizons, your thoughts are different. If we let him face the loess with his back to the sky again, the earth will not be repaired.

Historical Records records Liu Bang at this time. Gao ancestral:

"I am often generous and don't care about the production work at home."

In other words, Liu Bang doesn't think of himself as an ordinary person at ordinary times. He always wants to do something big, so he doesn't want to engage in labor production.

To this end, Mrs. Liu called Liu Bang a "rogue, unable to govern."

The so-called "rogue" is incompetent and useless, which is different from the legendary "rogue rogue" now.

Liu Bang is not a "rogue" because he can neither do farm work like his second brother Liu Zhong, nor study hard like his younger brother Liu Jiao and loaf around all day.

Liu Bang's reputation as a "rogue" came from this.

But "hooligans" are just appearances, and Liu Bang has his own ideals.

He wants to be the "Four Gentlemen of the Warring States".

The "Four Gentlemen of the Warring States" is so famous that it has been mentioned before, so I won't introduce it here. They like to stay in public, but they actually belong to the rangers.

Liu bang is a ranger or lives like a ranger.

So what kind of person is a ranger?

Sima Qian defined this in Historical Records. Ranger biography:

"Today's ranger, although his behavior is just right, but his words will be true, his behavior will be fruitful. He has promised to be sincere, not to love his body, and to the plight of scholars. Since it is dead and alive, it is not arrogant and shameful. "

What do you mean?

This is still a little hard to understand.

Here I roughly use modern common words to translate as follows:

"Although the words and deeds of Rangers generally do not conform to the rules of moral law, they are consistent in words and deeds, keep their promises, honest and reliable, sacrifice themselves for others, be brave and fearless, stand the test of life and death, and are very low-key, not boastful, not ostentatious and not showing off."

To put it simply, a ranger is a group of unruly, maverick and full of sense of justice.

And the ranger is organized and hierarchical, but it is a loose organization, and the level varies according to the status.

The "Four Gentlemen of Warring States" belong to a relatively advanced ranger, among whom Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling in Wei State, is the idol of Liu Bang.

So Liu Bang gave this idol five grave keepers before he died.

But when Wei Wuji died, Liu Bang was still a teenager.

When Liu Bang grew up, he visited Zhang Er, a public figure in Wei Wuji. He should have this kind of complex in it.

Zhang Er said a lot earlier. He was also a ranger, and he was a county magistrate in Waihuang County.

Although Liu Bang was a little-known young man, Zhang Er attached great importance to him and kept him for more than a month.

Isn't it incredible that the county magistrate stays with an ordinary young man? It can be seen how strong Liu Bang's affinity is.

Liu Bang lived like a ranger until he was thirty-five years old.

Because at that time, Qin Shihuang unified the world and implemented the county system, the household registration management was very strict, and people were not allowed to wander around.

If Liu Bang's success is divided into several stages, the ranger experience before the age of 35 should be a very important stage, mainly at the end of the Warring States Period.

At this stage, Liu Bang not only broadened his horizons, but also read countless people by making friends and wandering around.

As the saying goes:

"Reading thousands of books is not as good as reading Wan Li Road, and reading Wan Li Road is not as good as reading countless people."

Read countless people, let Liu Bang slowly understand human nature and gradually cultivate human feelings;

Countless readers have cultivated Liu Bang's understanding and can understand other people's ideas.

All these laid a solid foundation for him to lead troops to fight and make good use of people in the future.

The life of a ranger can't go on, so Liu Bang has to work.

He was admitted and became the curator of Surabaya Pavilion. From then on, he entered another circle, that is, the grass-roots officialdom of the Qin Dynasty.

If the ranger is a gangster and belongs to outside the system, then the officialdom is the white road and belongs to the system.

This work experience lasted for about ten years, which was the second important stage of Liu Bang's success.

At this stage, Liu Bangyou had four big gains:

First, I got to know the talented officialdom of Xiao He, Cao Can and Xia Houying, and prepared the most reliable team for starting a business in the future.

Second, I learned how to deal with the complicated interpersonal relationship in officialdom and became familiar with the government operation mechanism.

The third is to marry Lv Zhi, and got the advice of Lv Gong.

Fourth, his affinity turned into appeal, which made Liu Bang stand out and become a leader.

"The Wind Blows Yunfei" gives Liu Bang a chance to exert this appeal.

He is ready to deal with it, and even his immediate bosses, Xiao He and Cao Can, are willing to accept his leadership.

But appeal alone is not enough!

Because the appeal only solves the problem that some people are willing to follow.

Starting a business to conquer the world is not a one-off event. There are many frustrations and temptations in the middle, and it is inevitable that some people will leave halfway and even turn against each other.

If we want to avoid this kind of thing happening less or not, we must also have leadership.

What is leadership?

To put it bluntly, there must be means!

At this point, Liu bang's means still remain at the level of brotherhood.

So it wasn't long before Yongchi rebelled and ended his lair-Fengyi.

This incident stimulated Liu Bang so much that he even doubted himself and fell ill.

Learning from these mistakes, Liu Bang took refuge in Xiang Liang after evaluating his own ability and influence.

This entered the third stage of Liu Bang, looking for a backer and a rich man.

It seems easy to find a backer, but it is actually very difficult. It is necessary to be flexible and flexible, and to be able to speak well.

Otherwise, it will be marginalized by the new boss or directly eaten.
