8. Don't put anger on your face when doing things

Whether you need to package things or not is a question that does not need to be discussed, for example, if you have anger in your heart, do you "really" spread your anger to others, or do you package your emotions? The answer is self-evident, when interacting with the outside world, we must try to be as happy and angry as possible, so as to get things done to the greatest extent and protect ourselves.

Joy and anger are the means that should be possessed in today's complex society, which can not only avoid all kinds of jealousy and conspiracy caused by your too sharp edge, but also contains the principle of using the weak to the strong and the soft to overcome the strong has been used in a variety of fields as an important strategy.

Lao Tzu once said: "The weak is better than the strong, the soft is better than the strong, the world knows everything, and nothing can be done." In fact, this truth applies in both the military and political spheres.

For example, the minister of Goujian, the king of Yue, Wu Wangfucha, such as Zhuge Liang's big empty city plan, such as Sun Bin to reduce the stove to confuse Pang Juan, but no matter which one, what it shows on the surface is not its true situation or intention, which is called "joy and anger are invisible", and its purpose is to paralyze the other party as a means of packaging, so as to defeat the other party.

For another example, on the big stage of the Three Kingdoms, compared with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Liu Bei is the least powerful. Cao Cao is a descendant of the great eunuchs, and although his background is not noble, he is powerful; Sun Quan has been in Jiangdong for generations, with fame and force; Only Liu Bei, a small craftsman who weaves straw shoes and reed mats, belongs to the lowest class of society at that time, and has nothing, fame, status, and money. His only capital was his little Liu Han royal bloodline, which had been diluted to the point of being as thin as water, and at that time, there were not many people with this bloodline in the world, and no one took this seriously. But Liu Bei was just touched by this light, and the isolated Emperor Han Xian, in order to have more support, arranged it according to the clan genealogy, and actually recognized this little craftsman as the emperor's uncle and stayed by his side. This certainly made Liu Bei feel that his face was bright, but it also became a big tree that attracted the wind, which was suspicious of Cao Cao.

Although Liu Bei was not satisfied with Cao Cao's arrogance, he was not qualified to compete with Cao Cao, and only secretly participated in an anti-Cao alliance, but he was afraid and always guarded against Cao Cao's poisoning of him. Fortunately, he had nothing to do in the imperial court, so he simply planted vegetables in the back garden of his residence and made a big plan. However, Cao Cao still didn't let him go, so the story of "Green Plum Cooking Wine on Heroes" happened. This story has been rendered vividly by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it has long been known to everyone.

At this time, Cao Cao did not put Liu Bei in his eyes, but he was not completely relieved, the reason why he invited Liu Bei to drink, the reason why he specifically talked about who is today's hero, the reason why he said "today's hero, only to make the king and the ear", intended to be tempted, Liu Bei originally had a ghost in his heart, thinking that Cao Cao saw through it, so he was startled, and then lost the chopsticks in his hand to the ground. Because of this weakness, Cao Cao's suspicions were eliminated, and his later development was achieved.

Joy and anger are invisible, which refers to the advent of blessings and misfortunes, or the time of rebellion against life and death; Whether they are in the midst of fame and wealth, or in the poverty of the mountains and forests, they always have a master of their own existence in their hearts, and they are not imperceptibly influenced by external objects and the environment.

There is such a story in the Song Dynasty: "Song Officials" recorded: Xiang Minzhong, at the beginning of Tianxi (Zhenzong's name), served as the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, and was the ceremonial envoy of the Shengrong of Taizu in Yingtianyuan, and was promoted to the left servant shooting, and concurrently served as the servant of the door. One day, he entered the court opposite Li Zongge, a scholar from Hanlin. Shinshu said, "Since I ascended the throne, no servant has been appointed.

Now appoint Xiang Minzhong as the right servant. "It's a very high official position, and a lot of people congratulate him. Xu He said: "Today, I heard that you were promoted to the right servant shooting, and the scholars and doctors were all happy to celebrate. Xiang Minzhong only coped with it. Another person said: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has never been crowned such a high-ranking official, it is not a grand virtue and special merit, how can this be?" Xiang Minzhong still coped with it resignedly. There are also people who have counted the previous generations of servants, and they are all highly respected. Xiang Minzhong was still submissive and didn't say a word. After exiting, someone asked the head of the kitchen, is there a banquet for relatives and guests today? There was no answer.

The next day, the emperor said: "Xiang Minzhong is a powerful official. Xiang Minzhong was unmoved by such a major appointment, and accepted all the gains and losses. This made it possible to be happy and angry, and people congratulated him three times, and he responded modestly three times without saying a word. It can be seen that he has a self-contained weight and superhuman composure. As it is said in the Book of Changes, "Zhenggu is enough to do things". Therefore, he has been a high-ranking official for 30 years, and people have not complained a word. He can use such a way of dealing with politics and the world, and he can accept the honor and disgrace of advance and retreat calmly and humbly. Therefore, if he manages affairs and treats people and things, he will be able to obey the principles of heaven, human feelings, and the laws of the country, and there is nothing inappropriate.

In today's complex society, joy and anger are the means you should have to be a person and do things, so that you will not suffer from the jealousy and calculation of others, and you will be a smooth person and do things smoothly.
