When Tyler Roosevelt was in the White House, he admitted that if he was 75 percent right, he could act to the highest expectations.

If the upper limit for a remarkable person like this is this percentage, what would you and I do?

If you can be sure that you're 55 percent right, you can go to Wall Street and make a fortune. If you can't be sure that your judgment is 55 percent right, how can you accuse others of making mistakes all the time?

You can use your eyes, tone of voice, or gestures to blame someone for their mistakes as powerful as words – but if you point out someone's mistakes, will they agree with you? Never! Because you have hurt their intelligence, honor, and self-esteem, this will only create a counterattack, not a change of perspective. Maybe you will refute it with the logical theories of Plato or Kant, but it will not work, because you have already broken their feelings.

Don't start by saying, "I'm going to prove something to you." It's like saying, "I'm smarter than you, and I'm going to make you change your mind." "It's a real challenge, and it's no doubt a backlash and a conflict. In such a state, it is impossible to change the other person's point of view. So, why be self-defeating? Why bother yourself?

If you want to prove something, don't let anyone know. Either you don't have a trace, and you do it very skillfully. As the poet Pope said, "When you teach, make people feel like you're nothing." Things should be brought up unconsciously, as if they had been forgotten. ”

More than 300 years ago, the scientist Galileo Galilei said, "You can't teach people anything, you can only help them discover." ”

Sir Chesterfell also told his son: "Be wiser than others, but don't let them know." ”

Socrates repeatedly admonished his disciples: "The only thing I know is what I don't know." ”

Everyone has their own principles of life, some people may like to be plain and calm, and some people may like to be sharp. We will find that down-to-earth people are easy to get along with, while sharp-edged people don't have too good popularity. Popularity is not a small problem, and its quality directly affects the success or failure of your social networking. Therefore, learn to hide your cleverness.

In real life and work, the strategy of "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea" can be said to be the most common and the most widely used. "Coaxing" and "shading" are the two most typical ways. "Coaxing" can resolve the intensified contradictions, and "covering" can temporarily block the seriousness of the problem and wait until the best time to deal with it.
