If you want to do things, you must first learn to be a man, and only when you learn to be a man can you do things satisfactorily. Being a man should be based on low-key modesty, and doing things should be high-profile and confident, and when things are done, the level of low-key life will reach a new level.

The green mountains are silent, since they are a kind of loftiness, how can a little hills and ravines stop people from looking up at it?

The sea is silent, it is a kind of vastness, and who can not envy the measurement of accommodating hundreds of rivers?

Being a low-key person is a kind of life wisdom, and doing things in a high-profile way is a kind of life attitude! Only by bringing the two together can we achieve a rich and fulfilling life. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a person named Meng Zhizhi in the Lu State, who was an official and a doctor. Once, the state of Lu and the state of Qi were at war and returned defeated, and the army of the state of Lu scrambled to retreat back to the city, and the fleeing appearance was very embarrassing. After Meng Zhianti led the army alone, when he was the last to retreat into the city gate, the monarch of Lu and his colleagues praised his bravery, but Meng Zhianti said very modestly: "It's not that I'm brave, it's just that my mount is too tired, and I won't go no matter how I whip it!" Confucius praised Meng Zhianti, and his sentence "If you dare to be behind, you will not advance" is the best interpretation of low-key life and high-profile work, which has made people in later generations follow suit.

There was also such a person in the Eastern Han Dynasty, his name was Feng Yi. Feng Yirong horse life, galloping on the battlefield for decades, outstanding military achievements, is a famous general in the Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu Zhongxing period. But Feng Yiqi has such a characteristic - after every battle, when the generals sit together to discuss the reward for meritorious deeds, in order to avoid merit, he gives the reward to his subordinates, and always sits alone under the big tree to read and think. Because of this move, the army honored him as "General Big Tree". Feng Yi is handsome, not arrogant or impatient, although he has made meritorious achievements, he is still very low-key.

In the first year, Liu Xiu, who was the great Sima at the time, led his generals Wang Ba, Feng Yi and others to conquer Handan City, capture Wang Chang, and quell the rebellion. Feng Yi's performance in the Battle of Handan was particularly prominent, he was not afraid of hardships and dangers, overcame many difficulties, stayed up all night, raised military rations for Liu Xiu's army in Raoyang, Hebei Province, boiled thin bean porridge, helped the soldiers relieve hunger and cold, and maintained the full combat effectiveness.

When Liu Xiu led the army to Nangong, the sky was not beautiful, heavy rain fell suddenly, the cold wave made people tremble, and the sergeants were nervous. It was Feng Yi who ran around again, finding a large amount of firewood to start a fire, so that the soldiers could warm and dry their clothes, and sent porridge and rice with fragrance and heat, so that the soldiers were full of clothes and returned to the battlefield.

In the first battle of Handan, Liu Xiu won a complete victory. After the war, he commended Feng Yi for "incalculable meritorious service, which should be regarded as the first merit". However, just as Liu Xiu summoned all the generals to sit in the wilderness and discuss the rewards for meritorious deeds, a familiar scene appeared again - Feng Yi left everyone, found an old locust tree, sat down and read "The Art of War" attentively. Liu Xiu had to order the guards to drag Feng Yi to his side, but Feng Yi still refused to accept the reward, so he tried his best to push the credit on one of his generals, so that the general was grateful. When Liu Xiu saw this, he rewarded him with a large amount of gold and silver, but Feng Yi unreservedly distributed it to the brave soldiers in the Battle of Handan. When many people reach a certain high position, they are either arrogant or arrogant and domineering. In fact, the universe is big, the interpersonal relationship is complex, one person's work, one's own talent, relatively speaking, what is it? If you can be like Meng Zhiyan and Feng Yi, rush forward when doing things, strive to do the best thing, stay humble after success, and not compete with others, it is really admirable.

In fact, the foundation of life in the world is nothing more than two things - being a person and doing things, but it is by no means easy to lay a good foundation for these two foundations. The difficulty of being a human being lies in the control of emotions, the understanding of life, and the control of desires; The difficulty of doing things lies in measuring, in finding a balance between complex interests and contradictions, and in gaining the approval of everyone. So, since it is difficult to be a human being and doing things so hard, how should we be good? This requires us to be strict with ourselves, modest and cautious, indifferent to fame and fortune, and not publicity; Pursue innovation and excellence in doing things, and constantly improve the requirements for themselves. If we can integrate the two so that they complement each other and complement each other, we will be able to obtain a vast world and achieve a colorful life. In other words, if we want to make a difference in our lives, we must learn to "be low-key and do things in a high-profile manner", which is the key to the success of most people who can do something.
