Guiguzi: the superior people pretend to be confused with intelligence, while the inferior people pretend to be smart with confusion.

Our life is actually an irregular parabola, which indicates that our life will experience ups and downs. As the saying goes, life is doomed and unchangeable, but luck can be changed.

How to change the shipment? Go to fortune telling? No, you need to know the wisdom of knowing how to advance and retreat in life. When to enter and when to return is very particular. The so-called local conditions, this is the truth. People should know how to advance and retreat at different stages. If you can't get in, you will miss the opportunity. If you can't return, you will return in vain. Life is a battlefield, and only when you know how to advance and retreat can you face the trick of fate.

In a word, are you a rational person? The so-called wise man is actually a clear-headed, stupid and reasonable person. There are two kinds of people in this world: the first one pretends to be smart, and the other one pretends to be smart by being stupid.

One,

Tell a story. Once upon a time, two people met in the middle of a wooden bridge on the edge of a cliff. One was carrying firewood and the other was carrying a burden. The firewood pickers think that those who carry the burden should retreat, and those who pick firewood think that they should retreat, so they spend their time on the wooden bridge, from morning till night, from noon to night. As a result, both of them finally couldn't stand it and almost fell off the cliff.

Life is obviously going forward, and no one wants to retreat, because many people think that retreating means failure and loss, so they fight for it.

Second,

In real life, we often meet the wooden bridge of life. For example, I have a friend Xiao Wang. During the Chinese New Year, the company was awarded the Advanced Management Award. Xiao Wang feels that he usually performs well in the company and has a good relationship with leading colleagues. This senior management award is a must. However, an embarrassing thing happened on the podium. Xiao Wang didn't get the certificate, but Xiao Wei next door did. Xiao Wei made a lot of money for the company with a big order in the fourth quarter, so the company leaders weighed it again and again and finally awarded Xiao Wei the Excellent Management Award.

But now Xiao Wang is not feeling well. This award should be his own, and his professional ability is not worse than that of Xiao Wei. So Xiao Wang went directly to the general manager the next day and asked him to say something. Originally, the general manager thought that Xiao Wang should be compensated. As a result, Xiao Wang was unreasonable and simply gave nothing.

The general manager's idea is simple. As a manager, we should focus on the overall situation, think about the interests of the company, and make a scene for hundreds of dollars. What about the pattern? How can such a person become an excellent manager?

As a result, Daniel didn't get it and offended the general manager. Years later, Xiao Wang was dismissed by the company. In the workplace, you should think about everything, do good things, and know how to advance and retreat.

So what should Xiao Wang do to be right? Pretend nothing happened, everyone has a steelyard in their heart, and wait until the time is right.

Third,

Let's see how smart people do it. Say a famous historical figure.

It is said that Han Xin is like this. After Sean abdicated, only Xiao He was left in three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty. It seems that Liu Bang is kind to Xiao He and constantly promotes his rank. Xiao He himself gloated that Liu Bangren was a good man. Guests come and go every day, and he feels good about himself.

Until one day, a beggar came. The man may not have taken a bath for several days, and he stinks all over, but he walked into Fu Xiao. Xiao He is angry. Where did this beggar come from? He is really ignorant.

As a result, the beggar didn't salute Xiao He when he saw him. He said, "Lord Xiao is too happy, and I'm afraid it will lead to great disaster." He said that he would go outside, and Xiao He wondered. Now I am so expensive that I am favored by the emperor, and I am usually cautious. Where can I come from? So I asked the housekeeper to stop the man and want to know.

The beggar smiled and said, "Didn't you see what happened to Han Xin?"

Xiao He said: "That's Han Xin's own fault."

The beggar smiled and said, "Now you are the Prime Minister, and one person is above ten thousand people. The wealth of the family is countless. Excuse me, my Lord, how can the emperor reward you and give you the country in the future? "

Xiao He heard this in a cold sweat, and immediately knew that he was in danger, so he immediately asked, "According to my husband's plan, what should I do now?"

The beggar said, "fame and fortune, gold and silver jewelry skills are beyond your body. It depends on whether Guo Xiang Jr. is willing to give up?" Then he smiled and turned away.

Soon after, Xiao He took the initiative to find Liu Bang and said, "Now the country is in a hurry. It's time to spend money. As a prime minister, I should lower my official position and salary by three levels. " Liu bang agreed happily. That's not enough. Xiao He also deliberately collected some money and did some bad things. Liu Bang was even happier when he learned that Xiao He was just an ordinary man without ambition.

In this way, Xiao He finally sat firmly in Diaoyutai and got a happy ending. Otherwise, he may really be the second Han Xin, so we have to guard against it.

Sometimes, retreat is actually a kind of life wisdom.

Fourth,

So how do you master the skills of advancing and retreating? Guiguzi believes that the following five tricks must be mastered.

The first move, thinking about feelings. If you are too lazy to think hard, you can't do it. It means that you can't understand things as they really are without thinking hard. Sometimes you think things are like this, but the result is like that, so you must learn to think deeply.

The second measure depends on the situation. You can't be famous without careful consideration. It means that you can't succeed if you don't focus on the actual situation of things. Only by careful observation and understanding of the ins and outs of things can we achieve fame and get good results.

The third measure is to measure materials. The material is not good, so we can't use soldiers. It means that if you lack talent and courage, you can't fight in a unified way. Everyone has advantages and disadvantages. As the saying goes, don't do what you are not good at, otherwise the result will only be counterproductive.

The fourth measure is energy measurement. Loyal and dishonest, you can't know people. If a person is honest and has no insight, it is impossible to understand him. You can't overestimate yourself You must be able to know people's skills. I don't know. People can only be fooled.

The fifth measure, how empty. You must know your talents, but you don't know how long and how far you are. To be a man, you should learn to measure your own intelligence, then measure the advantages and disadvantages of others, and analyze who can't compare with him near and far. Never feel good about yourself, be measured and have a steelyard in your heart.

Guiguzi said that only by knowing yourself and yourself can you do whatever you want and advance and retreat freely. It's just that life is a proud word.

As the saying goes, the authorities are fascinated and the bystanders are clear. Many people don't really know their abilities. They are often confused, don't want to think seriously, don't know themselves, and can't understand each other. Everything you do on the road of life is wrong. If you happen to be right, it's just luck, luck.
