Zeng Guofan's success in his life depended on 36 words.

Zeng Guofan is known as one of the three great saints in China. And, by Mao Zedong, Chiang Kai-shek and others lifelong admiration. It can be seen that he is a man with real skills.

He wrote100000-word diaries, letters, notes, etc. Make meritorious deeds, wipe out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, complete the suppression of twisting in the north, and extend the life of the Qing Dynasty for decades; Educationally, from imperial academy to the governor of Zhili, countless talents have been trained along the way. At the same time, he was also the first person to start westernization and send overseas students in the Qing Dynasty. After his death, his life savings were only enough for his own funeral.

He was honored as three immortal historical figures who made meritorious deeds, established virtues and made statements, and deserved it!

How can a person with average qualifications make such great achievements in just over 60 years after coming out of the mountains of Hunan?

Looking at his memorial, letters and notes, we can see that he has been knocking himself to death with "36 characters" all his life. The following is divided into eight chapters, and these 36 words are for you one by one.

0 1, ambition: nothing can be achieved without ambition; Where there is a will, there is a way;

Be a first-class person. "Ambition" is the determination and belief to pursue the goal of life, which determines the purpose of life and career and dominates the firmness of achieving the goal. Life begins with determination. If you don't stand up, there is nothing in the world; If you can aspire to it, you can do anything. Zeng Guofan firmly believed that everyone can be a saint, and he set himself the lofty ambition of "not being a saint, but being an animal". "ambition" provided spiritual power for his life, and his famous career began with the word "ambition"

(1) Nothing can be achieved without will.

(2) If you are not a saint, you are an animal.

(3) The higher the ambition, the greater the achievement.

(4) Choose teachers and friends carefully and make friends with people with lofty ideals.

02, unchanged: perseverance, stone can be carved; If you want to achieve a little success, start with perseverance;

Nothing is impossible without perseverance. "Heng" is the foundation of holiness, that is, sages and heroes, and the great cause must start from this word. There are three elements: one is "persistence", which lasts for decades and never stops; The second is "concentration", look for one thing and go all out if it is the same; The third is "step by step". Over time, many a mickle makes a mickle. Keep these three, and you will succeed one day.

(1) Perseverance can open a stone.

(2) to do great things, we should start with the word "perseverance"

(3) What should be done has been done from beginning to end.

(4) Life is always the first virtue.

03, special: everything is expensive in one thing; Specialization, scattered with the struggle;

Use your strength to the idea. Zeng Guofan said that the reason why westerners are so skilled is that they concentrate on everything, drill deeper and deeper, and gradually reach the extreme. He believes that if we want to catch up with the west, we must have the word "expert". All his life, no matter big or small, he devoted himself to this. Seek teachers' colleges, friends' colleges, feelings and things, thus summing up the hard truth that "everything is expensive" Man's energy is limited, but the world is infinite. If you want to make a difference, you can only succeed if you concentrate on fighting annihilation.

(1) authoritarianism: with one heart and one mind, you can succeed.

(2) concentration: if the mind has two uses, it cannot be achieved.

(3) Specialization: Hard work is like digging a well, and everything is expensive.

(4) Specialization: The advantage of the West lies in specialization.

04, cooked: practice makes perfect, wonderful in cooked; Everything is familiar, and familiarity can be strong;

Stupid kung fu pays off. Familiarity is a stupid kung fu. Zeng Guofan learned to write poems, and he was familiar with the poems of Su Shi and Lu You every day. He enjoyed it all his life. Finally, his mouth was full of saliva and witty sentences came out. Practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect. Zeng Guofan ruled the army as an official, all of which verified the merits and demerits of the word "cooked". You know, all kinds of skills in the world are unreliable if they are not refined by "familiarity".

(1) Practice makes perfect.

(2) Everything is cooked, and only when it is cooked can it be strong.

(3) Establish scale first, and then refine it.

05. Yu: All rivers run into the sea, with great tolerance; Be broad-minded and help more;

Open your mind. The official sea is in turmoil, and the official career is completely blocked. It is impossible to be completely independent by individuals. In the meantime, it is inevitable that it will be bumpy. If you are depressed and complain, it is not only useless, but also easy to cause disaster and injury. At this time, it is inseparable from the word "Yu". Those who are "rich" are full of rivers and have great tolerance. Zeng Guofan believes that magnanimity is the decisive character of whether a person can take on a big post. Abundance is blameless, and affluence is uncontested. Being a man, having plenty of food and clothing, keeping chastity, is difficult to understand and has no disadvantages.

(1) The word "broad" should be used as a medicine for treating the heart.

(2) The bureau is too small to be a world event.

The word Yu can helped get rid of the danger.

06, static: static can give birth to Ming, anger hurts the body; Quiet and self-cultivation, quiet and far-reaching;

If you don't move, you will, and if you move, you will. Static and vivid, more able to brake. Move more, make more mistakes, move less, and there will be less trouble. Silence is not only a method of inner cultivation, but also a method of timely change. Zeng Guofan knows the wonderful truth of the word "quiet" and can do things quietly. He repeatedly warned his son that being active and active is one of his main shortcomings. Now everyone likes to move and be quiet. I don't know how many hidden dangers there are in the noise!

(1) Be quiet to cultivate one's morality; if you are not quiet, you will be far away.

(2) Doing nothing and saying nothing is better than taking all kinds of medicine.

(3) Be calm before doing things.

(4) People hit for the first time and I hit for the second time.

07. Light: When people are with me, they must look very flat; When you are successful, you must bow your head;

Taste the true meaning of life. Ambitious people care a lot and pay attention to a lot, so they are often hardworking and bear the burden of humiliation. At this time, we should use the word "light" to get a comfortable solution. Zeng Guofan was busy all his life, but he kept in good health by calmness, lived indifferently, served as an official by dullness and studied far away. He has peace of mind and a happy life.

(1) When you are troubled by government affairs, you just have fun.

(2) If you regard yourself as ordinary, you will succeed.

(3) When you become famous, you must bow your head.

(4) send the majestic in the distance.

08. Leisure: Life is too short to build without a plan; Busy and easy to make mistakes, more calm;

Leave a little freedom to accommodate big things. When you are in charge of doing great things, you often have to take great risks and decide great doubts. Its physical and mental stress and tension are unbearable and imaginable. If you have a word "leisure" in your heart, you can leave a pure land, relax and feel at ease. "Idle" is the pressure reducing valve on the high pressure furnace; Leisure is a landscape painting of White Tiger Festival Hall. "Leisure" is Kong's plan in "Empty City Plan". Take quiet while moving, steal time from busy, and reveal great wisdom in life in plain.

(1) Idle: Things are much more idle because they are busy and make mistakes.

(2) Leisure: the word "leisure" is the secret of nourishing the heart.

(3) Leisure: Let go if you have the ability.

(4) Leisure planning: At a critical juncture, the word "leisure" will set a storm.

09, loose: the way of civil and military, one by one; Take time out of your busy schedule and relax in a small place;

Can't scratch eyebrows and beards. Because everything is divided into global and local, small and big. Without making any distinction, it will be laborious and get twice the result with half the effort. Zeng Guofan, from overwork, had an epiphany one night. When doing things, relax, grasp the big and let go of the small, and be more efficient. Zhuge Liang was an outstanding figure. The main reason why he died before the conquest was that he grasped the major issues and did not understand the beauty of the word "Song".

(1) Take a break from your busy schedule, and be nervous with the word "loose".

(2) major events should be fought, and minor ones can be relaxed.

(3) financial tips: come loose and sell well.

10, Ming: people have self-knowledge, self-knowledge; Prejudice is dark, and listening is bright;

The brighter the eyes, the brighter the heart. Li said that Zeng Guofan is knowledgeable and far away, and no one can match him. Zuo said: Know the wisdom of people and seek the loyalty of the country. No matter how far-sighted, knowledgeable and self-aware, the word "Ming" is indispensable. Zeng Guofan said: "It is all about' bright' and' strong' to take on great events." The word "Ming" is the most rare and indispensable quality for success.

(1) Anyone who does great things should give priority to knowledge, supplemented by talents.

(2) be far-sighted, and you can stand tall if you look far.

(3) To preserve our sanity, the word "Ming" is the first.

(4) Knowing the wisdom of others, employers will be prophets.

(5) People have self-knowledge and self-knowledge.

(6) Intelligence is innate, and intelligence is acquired.

1 1, reality: seeking truth from facts, striving for perfection, very little, a thousand miles away;

Mao Zedong and Zeng Guofan, two Hunan people, both advocate "seeking truth from facts" and "being serious", precisely because pragmatism is the essential spirit of those who do great things. Zeng Guofan regards the word "reality" as the foundation of achieving great things, and believes that only by being down-to-earth and starting from a simple and practical point can the cause last.

(1) "Seeking truth from facts": the pragmatic spirit of two great men.

(2) Only by keeping a simple scale can we achieve great things.

(3) When hiring simple and reliable people.

(4) Do things simply and practically.

(5) It is better to get seven points for knowing the things in the world.

(6) Misfortune will befall those who steal pseudonyms.

12, hard: integrity, iron integrity; Brave and fearless, magnificent and heroic;

What a hero! He never gives up easily. Stubborn personality is not a bad thing, but can be transformed into a strong spirit, which can often achieve extraordinary things. Zeng Guofan believes that being strong is the virtue of self-improvement, and being strong is an essential quality for those who do great things. He summed up his lifestyle and came up with this "hard word formula". "Hard" and "strong" are synonyms, namely "hard bones" as Mao Zedong said and "China backbone" as Lu Xun said. "Hardness" is the basic spirit of heroic personality and the immortal gene of China people's self-improvement.

(1) Nothing can be achieved unless you have a strong spirit.

(2) career articles are all composed of the word "stubborn"

(3) Nothing is difficult in the world, if you put your mind to it.

(4) It is better to help yourself than to ask for help.

(5) The more difficult it is, the stronger it is, and the word "difficult" is used to break through difficulties.

(6) light reinforcement, not blindly use soil.

13, frugality: frugality and morality, poverty and self-improvement; Tired of material desires, you will lose your career;

Keep all the good things. Thrift is not about saving a few taels of money. Such a trivial matter is related to a person's fame and career, even his own life. Thrift is self-improvement and self-respect, not demanding of others; If you manage your family frugally, your family business will flourish and never decline; Being an official is frugal and clean, and it is invincible. In troubled times, thrift can hide wealth and cherish happiness, and protect itself from disaster.

(1) The word "frugality" has four wonderful uses.

(2) The only way to stay at home is to be frugal.

(3) poor, self-reliant, frugal Dont Ask For Help.

(4) It is difficult to go from frugality to luxury and then back to frugality.

(5) It is too early to enjoy happiness, but it is hard to grow old.

14, heavy: broad-minded and dignified; Steady steps, strong pen and ink;

Slow and steady, can achieve great things. "What is dignified and heavy is your face", this sentence is by no means a lie of fortune-teller, but a valuable experience that Zeng Guofan summed up from knowing people and employing people. He said, "a gentleman is not arrogant if he is not heavy" and "the unique appearance lies in the word" heavy ". "Weight" means stability and calmness, so that we can take responsibility in major events and remain calm in times of crisis. A person's Rong Zhi is the embodiment of his personality and intelligence. Zeng Guofan's words and deeds, he likes rough people best and hates frivolous people most. The way to know people is to take the word "heavy" as the first.

(1) A gentleman who is not heavy is not arrogant.

(2) Be cautious, win without arrogance and lose with grace.

(3) thickness is your beauty, and frivolous people can't get it.

15, Lian: lead an honest and clean life and be strict with yourself; Abstinence and greed, self-denial;

Hold fast to the sign of protecting officials. Purity, diligence and prudence are called the three precepts of being an official, among which the word "purity" ranks first. Whether the official is doing well or not can be known as long as he has money and no money. Zeng Guofan regarded the word "sincerity" as the foundation of his life, worked all his life and adhered to the six-character formula of "no money is not afraid of death". As the saying goes, financial management is meticulous, and no desire is just. When it comes to corruption, it's like drug addiction, and it's hard to quit. No matter how high the official is, no matter how great the job is, if it is contaminated with corruption, all efforts will be in vain. Therefore, Zeng Guofan called the word "Lian" "the symbol of protecting officials and the root of settling down."

(1) The word "Qing" is the first meaning of being an official.

(2) Honesty is the foundation of being a man.

(3) Integrity can serve the public.

(4) be an official, don't think about fame and fortune.

(5) people die for wealth, less greed and more disasters.

(6) People who do great things are dishonest.

16, diligence: work hard, study hard and think hard; Laziness mistakes oneself, diligence promotes wealth;

Diligence is the first essence of life. The essence of life is diligence. Whether the qualification is mediocre or smart, the family is poor or rich, it is not the decisive factor for an individual to achieve his career. Zeng Guofan is not a talented person. His success is nothing more than a word "diligence". From the degree of diligence, we can predict how much he can accomplish.

(1) It is the first duty of officials to be diligent.

(2) Diligence makes you a hero.

(3) Only those who can suffer first-class sufferings in the world can become first-class people in the world.

(4) Apart from laziness, getting up early is the first expensive thing.

(5) Diligence is the secret of a good official.

(6) Diligence is auspicious: Diligence is prosperous and diligence is healthy.

If you are lazy, you can keep healthy through diligence.

17, caution: think twice and be cautious from beginning to end; People who are thoughtful and cautious benefit;

More caution, more chances of winning. Caution is not a virtue, but an indispensable quality of a great hero. Lv Kun said: "The cautious person gets a point, and the person who suddenly gets a point loses a point. If they are cautious, they will get everything, but they will lose everything. " Zhu also said: "A real hero will only come out of fear and fear." Zhuge was cautious all his life. Zeng Guofan took Kong Ming as a model and propped up the rudder of life with the word "caution". Official sea ups and downs, no danger. Xiao Yishan compared Zeng Zuo with the other two and said, "Guo Fan won with caution, while Tang Zong won with heroism." It's really a good theory.

(1) In a formal storm at sea, the word "be careful" must be used to steer the ship.

(2) Be cautious and high.

(3) When a disaster comes from the mouth, you must be cautious.

You should be very careful when you talk to your boss.

(5) Everyone who is disintegrated by ginseng is careless in employing people.

(6) Be cautious about arrogance and be invincible.

18, loyalty: loyalty to things, loyalty to others; Loyalty and filial piety, loyalty and filial piety;

To do great things, we must build a good brand. In the eyes of ordinary people, "loyalty" is always associated with "foolish loyalty". In fact, "loyalty" is not only a moral law, but also the golden rule of life. Self-study with the word "loyalty" can calm the mind and cultivate a strong spirit; Treating people with the word "loyalty" can make real friends and help each other; Doing things with the word "loyalty" has a spirit of concentration, persistence and invulnerability. The word "loyalty" is the only way to be promoted and promoted, and it is also the only way to go down in history. Look at all ages. Who hates loyal people?

(1) Loyalty and filial piety are the cornerstone of life.

(2) things should be faithful, and things should be kept for yourself.

(3) Running the army with loyalty and righteousness, in a word, is better than a million soldiers.

(4) Full of foolish loyalty, advocating loyalty to the world.

19, Benevolence: Benevolence is a combination to show goodwill to people; The combination of benevolence and courtesy can stabilize people's hearts;

Grab people's hearts It is an axiom that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. "Benevolent government" is the highest administrative realm pursued by Confucianism. Historically, the benevolent government is bound to be the wise master, and the benevolent government is bound to be prosperous. The word "benevolence" has contributed a lot. Personally, internalization can be a saint and externalization can be a hero. Mencius summarized it as "benevolence" precisely because he saw that "benevolence" is not only a political and moral ideal, but also a practical strategy.

(1) Use "benevolence" to bring grace, and use "courtesy" to bring Wei Moruo.

(2) The first meaning of fighting is to win people's hearts.

(3) Benevolent people have skills: loving the people is the first policy.

(4) Most great undertakings in the world are made of the word "unbearable"

20, sincerity: confide in your heart and do what you say; Sincerity and consistency;

Without commitment, it is worthless. Honesty is the foundation of a saint, honesty is the ultimate, and honesty is a saint. Zeng Guofan refined the word "sincerity" into a strategic term. Sincerity is the way to take care of yourself and can build the foundation of the world; Honesty is the way to treat others. If you insist on the word "honesty", no one can be friends. Loyalty is the way to serve the country, and it is good to flaunt "bloody sincerity". The word "sincerity" is the key to this formula. Zeng Guofan said that both the word "diligence" and the word "prudence" must be based on the word "sincerity" in order to be useful.

(1) Sincerity is the foundation of a hero.

(2) Honesty For honesty, no one is dishonest.

(3) Pushing honesty will be the most expensive.

(4) Warm-blooded and sincere.

(5) If you sincerely believe, the ghost will serve God.

2 1, respect: approachable, neither humble nor supercilious; Both inside and outside, good at music and kind;

Win the room for progress. The word "respect" is the "holy door procedure" and "an important method of preservation and maintenance" in Confucianism. It marks a person's physical and mental cultivation, and also indicates his life path and career orientation. Self-respect can lead to self-esteem, respect for relatives can lead to family harmony, respect for others can lead people to respect themselves, and dedication can lead to success in everything. Therefore, Zeng Guofan said that a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement, and there is no way to start without the word "respect".

(1) If you want others to respect you, you must respect yourself first.

(2) The word "respect" is the usual way of self-restraint.

(3) The word "respect" cannot be separated from the method of prospering the family.

(4) the sage respects it, and it is expensive, and the unscrupulous people stay away from it.

(5) Be enterprising.

22. Forgiveness: I would rather be negative than negative; Tolerate others and tolerate people's shortcomings;

It is better to think of good people than bad people. Zeng Guofan believes that "forgiveness" is the foundation of virtue, which is not only a temporary way of doing things, but also a method of self-discipline on weekdays. If you love the person you love and seek common ground while reserving differences in interpersonal communication, you can blend in wherever you go, gather everyone's strength and achieve great things. With the word "forgiveness", there will be a strong personality cohesion, like snowballing, the bigger it gets.

(1) The word "forgiveness" is the key to health and the foundation of virtue.

(2) Kindness is greater than forgiveness, and virtue is greater than jealousy.

(3) It is heroic to tolerate the shortcomings of others.

(4) Repay evil with good, and turn an enemy into a friend.

23, and: bad words are hard to eliminate, and it is worthwhile to endure things; Live in harmony and everything is in harmony;

People who disagree are not invincible. Harmony is the most important thing, because the word "harmony" contains profound and unpredictable wisdom of life. "Harmony" is manifested as "harmony" in dealing with people; In the management of the family, it is manifested as "harmony"; In the adult orientation, it shows "harmony"; In self-cultivation, it is "neutralization". Harmony is a kind of cultivation, a belief in theory and a superb strategy in practice. "Harmony" is not only an end, but also an important means of success.

(1) Harmony and empathy: the starting point of consolidating life

(2) Harmony can be great: building team spirit with the word "harmony"

(3) Harmony with dust: unite all forces that can be united.

(4) the disharmony of harmony: the prime minister punted in his stomach.

(5) the sum of disharmony: learn to play the double-reed play.

24. Modesty: modest and prudent, eager to learn and poor; If you are full, you will lose, and if you are humble, you will benefit;

A gentleman is great, but modest. The Book of Changes says: Heaven loses money and benefits modesty, while man loses money and benefits modesty. Full will lead to losses, and modesty will benefit. Modesty is not only a virtue of being a man, but also a code of conduct for interpersonal communication. The essence of the word "modesty" is that you are not as good as yourself, superior to others, never complacent, and always leave yourself room for pursuit and continuous progress. Zeng Guofan said that if people keep the light of modesty, they can enter the country indefinitely.

(1) A guilty conscience can benefit others.

(2) When you achieve something, keep in mind the sentence "The flowers are not in full bloom, and the moon is not full"

(3) Pride is a fierce virtue, which can be summarized by the word "modesty".

(4) Modesty is limited, and being too modest is almost false.

25, quite: difficult and dangerous, firm in mind; Never be discouraged, cheer up;

Perseverance and support can build an extraordinary career. Zeng Guofan's wenwu is really because of the word "pavilion". The word "ting" is not entirely based on greatness, but mainly lies in distinguishing the overall situation, coming forward and taking responsibility bravely; In times of crisis, stand firm, persevere and not be discouraged; If the situation is favorable, we will go forward bravely and make progress without doubt. Although Zeng Guofan's "Tingjing" has not been handed down to the world, the spirit of "Tingjing" is everywhere in his life.

(1) "court" kung fu: solving the mystery of court classics

(2) Stand out and enter the game, with hope of success.

(3) Being able to stand up in an emergency.

26, spicy: violent and clear, strict rewards and punishments; Pay equal attention to kindness and prestige, cure diseases and save lives;

Don't miss great things because of kindness. "Spicy tactics" is a style and strategy summed up by Zeng Guofan when he evaluated his disciple Li Hongzhang, saying that he is "sharp-eyed and quick-handed" and its essence is simple, effective, clean and decisive. Zeng Guofan treated troubled times with severe punishment all his life, frequently used difficult hands and killed people like hemp. "A little benevolent is a thief of great benevolence". How many people in history have done bad things because of "benevolence" is to save the disadvantages of the word "benevolence"

(1) Take strictness as a teacher: If you want to straighten your body, straighten it first.

(2) Strict housekeeping: strict father often has many dutiful sons.

(3) Strict rope talents: Without tempering, they will not become useful.

(4) The control method is not strict.

(5) Strictly administering the army: if it is not strict, there will be no courage.

(6) In troubled times, we should use heavy codes, sharp hearts and spicy hands.

27. Change: Insight into the situation and see through the cat; Deep learning is far away, surprisingly fickle;

Those who achieve great things should seek change in due course. Great things are fickle. Zeng Guofan changed three times in his life, and Zhang Taiyan called him "a fickle man". He is good at changing, insight into the changing laws of the world, so he is far-sighted; He is good at seeking change and constantly adjusting himself, so he can keep pace with the times and conform to the trend; He is quick-witted, no matter how critical, he can always save the day and turn defeat into victory; Based on prudence and orderliness, he used change cautiously. The word "change" summarizes the strategic purpose of his life and highlights the road to his career success.

(1) Ming change: when things are poor, they change, which is not easy to manage.

(2) change: if life changes three times, it will become bone.

(3) contingency: heroes do things and there is no way to change them.

(4) Use change: it must be unexpected change, such as Shenlong correction.

(5) Change cautiously: Don't change easily because of small profits and small harm.

28. Regret: In case of an accident, self-examination and reflection; Learn lessons; In order to fight again;

Not afraid to expose one's shortcomings. The word "regret" is like spring. Only by constantly correcting our mistakes, learning lessons and perfecting ourselves can we make continuous progress. Otherwise, it will be just like an old car. It often broke down at first and couldn't keep up with the trend. Finally, there will be an accident, and the car will be destroyed and people will die. The word "regret" is a rehabilitation mechanism in the human body. If there is a trace of remorse in your heart, you will grow a life.

(1) The word regret is like spring: the word "regret" corrects life.

(2) Becoming good: the word "regret" regulates life.

(3) Regret for not regretting: The word "regret" is a perfect life.

29. Resistance: Six resistances in life are indispensable; Be patient in times of crisis and live by it;

Persistence is bound to win. Hong Yingming said in "Caigen Tan": The word "resistance" is very meaningful, such as human feelings of danger and bumpy things. If there is no "resistance" support, geometry will not fall into the pit of hazelnut! When Zeng Guofan was young, he encountered many setbacks, and finally realized the way to survive in officialdom, that is, the word "forbearance", and summed up the main points of "four forbearance" of cold tolerance, hardship tolerance, hard work and leisure tolerance. Most ambitious people are eager to succeed. If the word "resistance" is not used for treatment, there will be no success.

(1) An official has four kinds of endurance: cold tolerance, hardship tolerance, hard-working and leisure tolerance, all of which are indispensable.

(2) When it is difficult, we must work hard from the word "resistance"

(3) He who can endure good fighting is a hero.

(4) The word "resistance" is enough to cure heart disease.

30, slow: things are slow and round, and good starts slowly; From slow to change, be comfortable with it;

Slow things are round, so we can come from slow places. Li Hongzhang once criticized Zeng Guofan, the teacher, face to face, saying that he was timid, slow-moving and had a big problem. As we all know, the word "slow" is Zeng Guofan's superman and a quality that Li Hongzhang lacks. "Slowness" can correct impatience, leave enough room for doing things, consider more comprehensively, plan more carefully, and be foolproof. So "things are slow and round."

(1) Slow down and broaden your horizons.

(2) Wait for change and advance and retreat freely.

(3) Slow down and hurry, and strive for victory in stability.

(4) Haste makes waste, so take a long-term view.

3 1, slip: save the day and ease the contradiction; Turn from danger to safety, and use your quick wits;

Do what you don't want to do. Although the word "slippery" has a derogatory meaning, it has its positive function. In times of crisis, it can help ease contradictions and resolve crises, and it is an effective lubricant when doing things. But those who misunderstand its meaning often deviate from it. It's a pity that almost all people who slip from slippery to treacherous are ruined.

(1) When necessary, the word "slip" can resolve the crisis.

(2) The right to participate in aircraft is firm.

(3) From slippery to treacherous, embark on the road of disaster.

32. Exhibition: make it big, make it small, and show it; Lure them to relax and develop themselves;

Make big things small. With the "exhibition of characters", we can make big things small, small things disappear, and finally go away. Use the word "exhibition" to put aside the difficult things and leave them to the best opportunity to solve, so as to be more complete. Feudal officials often used this method to deal with their superiors and regarded it as a plan to avoid disasters and protect themselves. Even Zeng Guofan said: "The formula of displaying characters" is "the secret of officialdom".

(1) The old accounts accumulated over the years were suddenly "exhibited".

(2) shelve and wait for the best opportunity.

33.Hun: it's hard to be confused, and the more confused, the more confused; Tibetan front is sharp, guard against arrogance and stupidity;

From smart to confused. It's hard to be smart, and it's even harder to be confused. It's even harder to be smart and confused. The word "confused" is the word "muddy" in Zeng Guofan's wisdom dictionary. The hidden front has disappeared, but it is not too exposed and annoying; Don't do things with edges and corners, but leave enough space to facilitate others and yourself. The secret of the word "Hun" is to protect one's own talents, and let it be revealed at the most appropriate time and degree, so as to realize the greatest benefit.

(1) What a shame!

(2) Learning to be confused is a matter of cohesion.

(3) When people are drunk and awake alone, use the word "muddy".

(4) Being an official should not be muddy.

34, forbearance: self-cultivation, lofty aspirations; Calm down and settle disputes;

Patient men win the day. The first meaning of the word "forbearance" requires super self-control, which is "cultivation"; The second meaning of the word "forbearance" requires tolerance, tolerance for others and tolerance for oneself, which is "forbearance of life"; The third meaning of the word "forbearance" requires the perseverance of never giving up until the goal is reached, and all courage is sacrificed to achieve the goal, which is "tactical forbearance"; The fourth meaning of the word "forbearance" is broken, leaving no future trouble. This is "forbearance". To achieve great things, all four are indispensable.

(1) Persistent tension: take a step back and broaden the horizon.

(2) forbearance and strength: treat people as they are, and take care of themselves.

(3) Endurance: Knock out teeth and swallow blood.

(4) Patience and perseverance: Patience to the end is the real kung fu.

(5) Endurance: Don't pretend to be kind and miss important events.

35, retreat: restraint, humility, retreat; Retreat from the torrent and save your strength;

Take a step back and take two steps forward. If successful, you can avoid disaster and save yourself. Dealing with interpersonal conflicts, staying modest and avoiding Miyake can resolve the crisis and create good social relations. There are advances and retreats in doing things, and eclecticism can always take the initiative. Zeng Guofan did not give up speaking out of turn. Retreat without trace is the most wonderful state.

(1) Go back and save it.

(2) Give in moderately and stay away from the center of contradiction.

(3) Retreat for progress and review the machine.

36. Circle: both principle and art; Be careful, inside and out.

Might as well turn around a few more times. Zeng Guofan was born a outspoken man, so he suffered a lot. Battle-hardened, the edges and corners are gradually polished and smooth, like a duck to water, smooth sailing. His beauty lies in his roundness but not cunning, and his inner and outer circles are at ease. This is the real circle, the upper circle.

(1) Work in harmony.

(2) The inner side and the outer ring can freely expand and contract.

(3) Pay attention to the word "circle" when writing.
