Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, gentleness, courtesy, frugality, loyalty, filial piety, courage and honesty, the fifteen virtues of human beings.

In the past, Li Mu believed that benevolence was the first of virtue.

But at this moment, Li Mu understands that "bravery" is the first of virtue.

Without courage, we can't insist on benevolence and righteousness, without courage, we can't insist on etiquette, and if we don't have courage, we can't do the next few insistences.

No courage, insist on good morality, no courage, refuse temptation, no courage, face yourself who was once embarrassed.

Therefore, courage is the most important thing.

Courage is the first virtue of success.

A person can not have an IQ, no background, no background, but he cannot be without courage. To lose courage is to lose everything.

It is like the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu led an army of 30,000 to attack more than 200,000 Qin troops, and in the Battle of Kunyang, Liu Xiu 8,000 soldiers and horses attacked Wang Mang's 200,000 army. At that time, they did not have the certainty of victory, and they already had the determination to die, and they put it to death and live again.

As for the Battle of Julu, the soldiers and horses of the other six countries were already frightened and did not dare to attack.

It's like covering the sky, those emperors all have invincible Dao hearts, and invincible Dao hearts are courage to put it bluntly. But after self-beheading, it is not only the cultivation realm that is killed, but also the courage.

Without courage, you lose everything.

"A man who is brave in blood is angry and his face is red, a man with a brave pulse is blue in anger, and a man with a brave bone is white in anger. The light knows Jing Ke, a brave man, angry and unchanged. ”

In ancient times, the easiest way to judge a person's moral character was to see if he was brave.

Again, someone gave an extreme example of how murderers are also brave.

But this is a person who is brave in blood, brave in pulse, and brave in bones, not really courageous.

A brave person is of good moral character, and a person who is not brave is of bad moral character.

No wonder Han Xin is under Xiang Yu and can't get ahead, because Han Xin is not brave.

In Xiang Yu's worldview, people who are not brave are not worthy of trust.

After Han Xin developed, when Yijin returned to his hometown, the butcher came to ask for guilt. Han Xin can directly kill the butcher, and then say, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor. It's a-for-tat, it's courage.

Han Xin can also choose to ignore it, Shenlong is too lazy to meet ants.

No longer on a notch, too lazy to care.

It's like, Bill Gates, will he come forward to fight with the thugs?

Not at all, it directly bottoms out the grade.

These are two choices, but Han Xin has no choice, but chooses the third.

When Han Xin returned home, he did not kill the butcher who had insulted him, but returned him a reward, and finally named him a lieutenant of the Chu State.

Han Xin also told the soldiers that this is a strong man, when he insulted me, in fact, I was not very afraid of him in my heart, because I thought there was no point in killing him, it was because of my forbearance at that time, and it was this strong man who made me forbear, and endured the insults of the year to achieve today's great cause.

Sounds reasonable!

But if you think about it, it's nonsense at all.

Why did Han Xin endure the humiliation of his crotch, not to become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, but because he couldn't beat others, so he could only pretend to be his grandson.

Han Xin's success was not because of forbearance, but because he could fight and win constantly. Lazy people listen to books

If there is no big war, what is the use of forbearance, Liu Bang has no shortage of forbearance generals.

In fact, Han Xin did not hold back at all, but was boastful, in the Chu army, when Xiang Yu was discussing military affairs, Han Xin often interjected, and was finally blasted out by Long He; later, when it came to Liu Bang's side, it was also boastful, which attracted Xiao He's attention and Liu Bang's attention.

As for forgiving the butcher later and returning it to a petty official, this is a political show.

Choose the first to prove that Han Xin is a man of temperament, choose the second to prove that Han Xin has a grand pattern, and choose the third to prove Han Xin's hypocrisy.

Hypocritical people, lack of courage.

Hypocritical people need the approval of others.

It is necessary to believe in others and thus in yourself.

But in fact, a truly brave person does not need the approval of others, it is enough for him to recognize himself.

And in history, why was Liu Bang the emperor, not Xiao He?

When it comes to connections, status, morality, and the ability to do things, Xiao He is above Liu Bang, but why is it Liu Bang who became the emperor in the end, not Xiao He.

Because Xiao He has intelligence and no courage.

At the moment of the rebellion in Pei County, Liu Bang was the first to stand up, and Xiao He was only the second to stand up.

Because rebellion has to bear risks, the first to stand up, but also to bear huge risks, once unsuccessful is almost certain death, but the second is much safer.

In all aspects of quality, Xiao He is above Liu Bang, but because of his courage and decision, he is inferior to Liu Bang.

This is also why in later generations, why Zhu Yuanzhang can be the emperor, but Liu Bowen can't be the emperor,

Smart people also have many scruples, and they often lack courage, decision-making, and courage.

Liu Bang's success is not only based on shamelessness, but also on courage.

The 3,000 soldiers in Peixian County took the lead in opposing Qin and bravely became the leading elder brother; then attacked Wuguan and conquered Xianyang, and did what the Six-Nation Coalition Army could not do, it was courage; they had the courage to go to the Hongmen banquet without fear of death; they were brave enough to personally duel Xiang Yu and lose once and fight again, without the slightest fear, this was courage.

Courage is the first way to succeed.

............

In the study, Li Mu thought about two words, again and again, over and over again.

Guts!

It seems that I am gradually coming to understand what true courage is.

Just like Qin Wuyang, he is usually reckless and ruthless, and it seems to be very awesome, but at the critical moment, when he encounters Qin Shi Huang, he trembles with fright, and drops the chain at the critical moment, which is called fake courage;

It's like Jing Ke, Liu Xiu.

"Courage is the first human virtue, and the second virtue is credit. People who are not trustworthy are often of bad character, just like Liu Bang. The third virtue is to look at filial piety!"

Li Mu was enlightened in his heart.

To identify whether a person is reliable or unreliable, the first is to see whether he is brave, the second is to see whether he is trustworthy, and the third is to see whether he is filial to his parents.

All three are worth following for a lifetime, such as Liu Xiu, two of the three are worth following, such as Cao Cao, and one of the three is only worth working for a short time, such as Liu Bang. If you don't have any of the three, you'd better leave, otherwise you're not far from disaster.

Suddenly, Li Mu's soul was sublimating, not only seeing the extraordinary eight changes, the nine changes of the road, and even the tenth change of the road.

"The road ahead has been broken, and a new path has been forged with the foundation as masonry, courage as the machine, and wisdom as the support...... This is the road I am going to take!" Li Mu said firmly in his heart: "There is no road ahead, but the moment I raise my steps and take the first step, there is a road ahead!"
