Qi Jinggong naturally understood Yan Zi's intention to say these words, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, Yan Zi is an old minister in his sixties, hard work is high, Confucius is only in his early thirties after all, and the stability is really not good, although Confucius is definitely a talent for governing the country, but after all, he is a newcomer, and the relationship with the princes and ministers here is average, Yan Lao looks at him horizontally and vertically, so let's slow down! Later, Qi Jinggong still said in front of Confucius that he wanted to give him a fief, Confucius could more or less hear Qi Jinggong's helplessness, and he also understood that he was just a guest of Qi State, and his foundation was too poor, so he politely declined, saying: No merit will not be punished.

Confucius knew things profoundly, his words were often sharp, and although he had a strong philosophical background, he was mixed in the officialdom, and his soft power was at least not enough at that age. Confucius's style of speaking and doing things was often disgusting to the princes and ministers of the time, and he did not have a prominent family and no friends around him. To be precise, people like Confucius are destined to be lonely all their lives, because his thoughts are too pure and profound, and following him can only be his students and be taught by him. He had advanced ideas of statecraft, but the end result was that he was not reused in his lifetime. His core idea was "benevolence", but at that time everyone was busy fighting and annexing; "Benevolence" is not very suitable for the general environment at that time. Confucius's level of learning is absolutely first-class, and being an official does not seem to be something that can be done well as long as he has knowledge.

People, who are full of talent and learning, may not be able to develop well, and success is often the result of comprehensive factors. If you complain: some people have such low education and poor quality, but they make a lot of money in front of the big boss; And I, with such a high education and such stability, but I work hard to commute every day, God is too unfair to me! Using the level of knowledge to measure the amount of money earned, in the words of Buddhism, this is more or less called stupidity. If you are not deeply involved in the world, you are often different, don't be a rebel in the big environment, even if you are right, even if you are very talented, this approach will make others very awkward, others will not get close to you, and even if you are close, they may be taking advantage of you. By following the trend and making the most of your strengths, you can achieve your original dreams and feel more relaxed.

When we are in an environment, we cannot reject anything in the environment, because we need to survive in this environment and develop well. Any person in this environment, regardless of status, we can't be friends with it, but we must also respect each other, once we completely give up on one person in our hearts, the other party will also give up on us, which forms an adversary, resulting in a cold war or a situation of mutual ridicule. And the kind of people who are often given up are not fuel-efficient lamps, and if we give up this person, many people will be implicated because of it. Would it be comfortable if we were surrounded by non-kind eyes all day long?

The basis of respect for others is to love yourself. Learn to love yourself, even if the whole world has betrayed you and forsaken you; You must know that there is one more person who will never leave you, and that is yourself. Instill more sunshine into your soul, don't be clouded with smoke and rain all day long, let yourself be sad, we don't learn from Lin Daiyu, and suppress ourselves all day long. We like perfect people, but we must accept our imperfect selves and recognize who we are now. Don't rely too much on the love of others, because they love you because they know how to love themselves. To love ourselves, we hide love in our hearts, pretend to be wronged, and even carry pain, ups and downs, mixed tastes, everything; If we work so hard and don't love ourselves well and take care of ourselves, won't we become fools?

Love yourself, think to the sunny side when you encounter problems, only in this way will we get better and better; Love yourself, don't set so many limits on yourself, be confident, don't always think about what I can't do, think about what I can do! Love yourself, listen to more beautiful songs, read more beautiful words, look at the sky more, go to the park more, change the environment, find yourself, maybe everything will suddenly become clear; If we love ourselves, we will walk with our heads held high, don't keep our heads down all day, be thoughtful, straighten our bodies, breathe smoothly, and our mood will naturally be smooth. Others' evaluation of you is like two people who meet by chance in the vast sea of people say hello, and only you can be responsible for yourself for a long time.

Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There was nothing in the first place, so what caused dust! We are human beings, we don't have to learn how to be human, but it is a very important thing to learn how to truly love ourselves. Spring flowers from green, autumn to the leaves drifting, everything is the law of nature, everything is human nature, don't be inexplicably frustrated. You know, we are all good children, and we know how to stop in moderation after being presumptuous; We're not stupid, and we do a lot of things very well; Sometimes we choose to avoid, or be indifferent, it is not cowardice, but the external strength is too strong, we can't bear it, and choose to take a vacation for ourselves. We need to work hard because we want to go to a paradise of our own.

Those things that we once thought we would never forget are forgotten by us in the process of remembering. Looking down on the past, cherishing the present, believing in the future, when we are quiet, we can make people feel good. We really want to prove ourselves, we want to do more things, well, we only do one thing at a time; Once it's done, we don't hesitate to do the next one. The daughter asked her father what love was, and the father said: When I had nothing, your mother fell in love with me; The daughter asked again what family affection was, and the father said: Your mother will never allow you to marry a man who has nothing. The daughter went to ask her mother what love was, and her mother said: Your father has everything but still loves me; So what is affection? Mom said: Your dad will never let you marry a man who has everything but doesn't love you.

Confucius stayed in the state of Qi for two years, and when he was thirty-seven years old, he finally couldn't stay anymore because someone threatened to kill Confucius. Others don't have the same knowledge as Confucius, but they just feel that he is very strange. So many people sat together to discuss issues, but Confucius spoke the most, and Confucius was the only one who dared to argue with the powerful, leaving them speechless and even angry. That's not all, he still advocates something benevolent, in the entire universe, only Kongqiu represents Kongqiu's point of view, and no one here supports you. So paranoid, well, hack him to death, stop bothering us!

Confucius's news was quite well-informed, and when he saw that there was really no place for himself here, he had to flee in panic. In the process of escaping from the Qi country, there was such a small fragment:

Confucius and his students ran and ran, and finally escaped from the canyon of Qi and entered a dense forest. I saw that the forest was luxuriant, and the vines in the forest were intertwined with each other, as if covered with layers of nets, and in the depths of the forest, the surrounding silence seemed to be heard, and even the sound of leaves falling to the ground could be heard. Confucius's mind calmed down a little and decided to let everyone rest before hurrying. He came out of the carriage and sat down on the ground, just about to give a lecture to the students, when he heard the sound of a team of iron horsemen coming from far and near, becoming clearer and clearer. Could it be that Qi people are catching up, this time, it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided!
