Speaking of courage, people naturally think of heroes who dare to fight with four fists with one hand, and chivalrous warriors who dare to walk alone in the wilderness, in fact, another kind of courage is even more valuable, that is, to insist on their correct opinions in the midst of opposition.

Modern society is democratic, so it is natural for the minority to obey the majority. If this majority is made up of people with a high level of knowledge, of course there is no problem. But if this "minority" is made up of powerful people, will the opinion of the majority take effect? If the constituents of this "majority" are ignorant (and by "knowledge" we don't just mean cultural knowledge), then the opinion of the majority is not necessarily correct.

What matters is the judgment of justice and truth, which side has justice and which side has truth, which side is right.

If the other party is a powerful person or an evil person, and his behavior is no longer a defect or a fault, but a crime that harms the country and the people, and you cannot point it out to him in person, otherwise you will be attacked and framed for it, and you cannot tolerate these people continuing to do evil, what should you do? With nothing to do and no choice but to write anonymous letters and make a report call, it is not a means of struggle. If you still insist on the practice of "keeping your mouth shut" in this situation, it will only make the traitors happy, because their adultery can be covered up, and the evil can continue, and you have not offended anyone, but the country and the people have suffered. Can such a person be considered a gentleman? No, they're just good old people, even cowards. A Western philosopher believed that the reason why evil is unhindered is precisely because of the inaction of justice. And treacherous and evil have always been picky in eggs for righteous men and gentlemen.

If some ill-intentioned people are very good at deceiving the masses and making unreasonable demands backed by the "majority," such a "majority" does not need to obey. In this case, you may appear isolated, but it is not terrible, and this isolation must be temporary.

A worker in a factory stole the timber in the factory, although the amount was not very large, but the nature of theft was definitely theft. Because this person is a carpenter, there are many people who usually go up and down to knock him up, and they all have a little friendship with him, so they all come out to plead, only the factory director insists on dealing with it according to law.

Some people say, "The minority obeys the majority." The factory director said confidently: "The factory rules are passed by the majority of the people in the factory, and if you want to obey it, you must obey this majority." ”

For a while, the factory manager seemed a little isolated, but as time went on, more and more people understood and agreed with him, and the theft of property in the factory was greatly reduced.

Some people believe that only by acting according to the opinion of the majority can we avoid making a big deal and can we peacefully clean up the situation. In fact, if we do not pay attention to principles and accommodate the majority, we will inevitably have endless troubles.

As we just said, if we listen to the opinions of the majority of people and do not deal with it, or deal with it lightly, not only will the wind of theft in the factory become more and more intense, but the factory rules and regulations will also become a dead letter. At that time, the prestige of the factory director will be lost, and this is the real isolation.

This is true for dealing with the problem, and the same is true for the implementation of the new provisions.

As soon as new ideas and ideas are put forward, there are bound to be opponents. Among them are those who do not know much about the new opinions, and there are those who oppose for the sake of opposition. In the midst of opposition, you stand out from the crowd. At such times, it is also necessary to learn not to be afraid of isolation.

For those who do not understand, we should explain the reason to them with enthusiasm and patience, so that those who oppose them will become those who are in favor. For those who oppose for the sake of opposition, whatever you say, I'm afraid he doesn't want to accept it, so don't hope for his approval at all.

The truth is in our hands, and the more opponents there are, the stronger our self-confidence will be, and the more determined we must be to work towards the implementation of our goals.

There is a store, although the store is not large, the location is quite good, due to poor management, the loss year after year. As soon as the new manager took office, he was determined to put things in order.

He instituted a series of rules and regulations, which put an end to the days when the salespeople were free, and the new manager was isolated. But he stood by his principles and did what he said.

In less than two years, the small store turned a profit. At the end of the year, when the prize money was handed out, a lady who usually likes to knit yarn in the store, and therefore is the most adamant against the new rules, said, "Well, it's still good." In the past, the knotted yarn was knotted at most a month, but now these bonuses are enough to buy a few woolen sweaters. ”

The new manager was not afraid of isolation, and in the end he was not isolated. If he hadn't carried out reforms at that time, and he couldn't get his wages to the point where he couldn't pay them, would he still not be isolated?

Upholding justice is often the behavior of the brave, and truth is often in the hands of a few. Being bold comes with its own rewards, because sometimes it is necessary to be a person and do things.
