Going to the opposite of the original is not an ideal choice or behavior.

The ideal behavior should be to draw inferences from others.

What do you mean by drawing inferences?

Confucius of the Chinese sage Confucius once said: "If you take one corner and don't take three corners, you won't be able to do it." ”

"Corner" is the direction and aspect here, and the four corners are the four aspects and four directions.

For example, to look at a person's character, you can't just look at what he looks like when he's going well. He was very modest when he was proud of the spring breeze, and you nodded approvingly: "Yes, this person is really good, I like it! Unlike some people, who immediately their tails when they are a little proud." ”

At this time, Confucius would shake his head and say: "Nonono, take one corner, don't take three corners, you will be very cuppy when you look at people." ”

You should also look at how the person is when he is frustrated. If he is frustrated, downcast, unlucky, and stuck in a muddy pit, he is very perverse, withdrawn, and weird, then it means that the so-called modesty of his spring breeze is nothing more than carrying the fruits of victory, leisurely transforming the pride in his heart into comfort, so it looks like modesty.

In fact, this modesty is only on the surface, and inside, no one is as proud as him.

These are just two corners, and what are the two corners?

Pride and frustration are temporary states, so the other two corners should be a more stable level.

It's like a bowl of water, and the calm and uncalm of this water are expressed as states. And the amount of water, such as a bowl, a jar. Just like the table xiàn is the level.

It is not enough to look at the two expressions of a person's triumph and frustration.

You also have to look at his appearance when he is in the low position and in the high position, or when he is in the guest position and is in the main position.

He was a small clerk. And only then did he enter the company. Diligent at work, hard-working outside of work, he rushes to do everything that serves tea, pours water, sweeps the floor and wipes the table, and big and small things, ask for instructions early and report late, so you say: "This person is good." I like it, and if I can, take him as my little brother!"

(A few years later, the eldest brother was stabbed by the younger brother.) "Your wife, I raised it, the eldest brother Jiuquan is under it, but please rest assured, every qiē has a younger brother!"

He is a king who pioneered the entrepreneurial period, thirsty for talent, humble and humble, you obviously only have three or four points of talent, he holds you and waits, as a peerless national warrior, a supreme national teacher. Finally, one day, he made a big decision. You smile with satisfaction, and he is happy and proud of himself.

When you go to bed at night, you are still thinking, what position will he give me?

(The person you are thinking about is in the deep palace and secretly ordered the left and right: "Send a few knife and axe men, go, chop this old guy for me, grass, Lao Tzu has endured him for a long time! ）

(Three days later.) The whole country mourns, and that person is in pain in front of your spirit, "Woohoo lament! Lose the national teacher! Heaven, who can teach me diligently in the future? The national teacher is like a teacher, like a father, and today I have lost my teacher and lost my father!" So your family is grateful, and your son is willing to repay the king's kindness with a death. ）

This is the cup of "one corner is not reversed by three corners".

Therefore, in ancient China, when all the superiors who understood this principle wanted to be their confidants or successors, they had to smash them a few times, let them hold the power several times, and let them sit on the cold bench a few times.

He looked at all the tables in these four corners, and then said, "Yes." Or, "No." ”

But after that, no matter what position you held before, you can go all the way to the center. ...,

In the same way, no matter what position you held before, you should always be cool, even if you die and reach the highest level, you can only be a subordinate person in that level.

This is the four-corner positioning method.

Using this method to select people is the "Four Corners Selecting People Law", and using this method to stand in the world, that is the "Four Corners Standing Body Law".

How do you stand up?

The intersection of the two straight lines is the place where the four corners are connected to each other, which is the so-called "mean" of the Chinese sages. The mean is not to let you stay at this point all the time, but to let you use this point as the origin of your life in the world.

When it's time to be proud, you can be proud, and when you are done, you have to hurry back to the original point. When it's time to be frustrated, you can also be frustrated, and after being frustrated, you still have to go back to the original point immediately.

To use this point as a stronghold, to attack everywhere, and never deviate from it, is to live a life of indulgence, but always follow the golden mean.

Therefore, honesty is not necessarily the mean, rules and regulations are not necessarily the mean, gentleness and gentleness are not necessarily the mean, and sincerity and sincerity are not necessarily the mean.

Therefore, uninhibited can be modest, the sword can be modest, the domineering can be modest, and the chest can also be modest.

The golden mean is the way, not the deed.

Those who practice the golden mean are mostly mediocre people, and those who practice the golden mean are the achievers.

"To the vast and subtle, extremely wise and modest. This is a principle of self-determination, world-related and handling of things that the Chinese sages quite admire.

You are a painter, you need to be able to put down thousands of miles in your heart, but your brushstrokes need to go deep into a small ant on a petiole.

You are a world-famous physicist who is well versed in all kinds of celestial bodies and their laws, but when you tell your little daughter about the starry sky, you have to tell her with sincerity: "You are my angel." Look, you're coming down from the brightest star in the sky!"

When she grows up, she will know that this is a lie.

But in her heart, your countless physical laws that shocked the world may not be as important as this little lie.

She will love you for this lie, not because of those physical laws of yours.

Knowledge can be compensated for by time, but love cannot, and love needs to be consistent. So when knowledge collides with love, knowledge needs to give way to love.

What is it?

This is the mean.

Such a world is the world of the mean.

Fang Tian did not tell Andy, Falstein and the others such a truth, and did not tell them that the best way to practice is to position themselves in the four corners, rather than simply and rudely walking towards the original opposite, contacting and feeling the original reverse world.

Of course, this is not because of hiding or reluctance.

It's because he, who is also a cultivator, now knows that there are some things that are better to walk step by step on his own, feel them while walking, and gain them in his feelings.

That kind of acquisition is the real acquisition.

The Tao is not sued by others, but comes out of oneself.

If any of these men had come down the road, he would have had no hesitation in having a deep discussion with them, and then he would have told them all the truth.

In fact, Fang Tian was ready for such a deep talk.

The people in front of him are actually people he is more optimistic about.

Why?

Because in the previous night conversation with each of them, Fang Tian deliberately used the four-corner selection method. Because it is just a conversation, and it is just a conversation, the so-called selection of the four corners is, of course, impossible to be very accurate. But what does a saying say?

-- Those who are qualified may not be able to be screened out, but those who are not qualified are all screened out. ...,

So in the conversation, someone was very respectful, Fang Tian just smiled, and then said goodbye. Someone was very honest, Fang Tian just smiled, and then said goodbye. Someone expressed their eagerness, and Fang Tian just smiled, and then said goodbye in the same way......

Goodbye, of course, is never again.

For those people, it is enough to have a conversation, and the second time, it is a waste of time.

Even if some of these people may change in the future, or a relatively large metamorphosis - like himself, but so what? There are so many people in this world, even if they like it, they only need to know a few things.

Andy and the others left in another round of worship and a sense of great gain.

When they said goodbye, a few people clearly wanted to talk about it, and the words outside the words faintly revealed that they still hoped to have such meetings and conversations with His Highness Fang Tian often in the future. In fact, this conversation was just the eight of them talking, Fang Tian had never said anything during the whole process, but he just kept nodding and nodding.

But the eight of them apparently didn't see it that way.

In this regard, Fang Tian just smiled and did not give them any reply.

It's a long time coming, let's talk about it later.

These are still idle things for him, and he won't spend much thought and time on these things for the time being. - Hurry up and find a way to become a mage, that's the right thing.

After being promoted to a mage, at the very least, at least, you can also give him ten or twenty years of leeway, right?

In those ten or twenty years, even if he didn't make anything, no one would be surprised or anything. And such a long time is enough for him to slowly plan and plan the next stage of development.

Fang Tian will never forget jì for a moment, the two sudden assassinations, and he will not forget jì, in the second assassination, he saw in the pyramid Zhihai, the assassin was dotted into ashes by the invisible fingers that came from the sky.

At some point, if he makes a mistake, perhaps, another finger of the same or similar level will come to him.

What means did he have to guard against the click of that power?

No, nothing.

Therefore, his current situation is completely dangerous, and it seems to be safe.

And when the real danger came, he really had no other way but to be immediately ashes.

What should a little white rabbit do if it is in a region where wolves dance together?

Fang Tian could only tremble, designing for himself some principles that seemed to be relatively safe in his eyes. -- Based on the existing conditions, this is the only way to do this.
