What is Most Valuable in a Lifetime?
Some time ago, someone asked: 'A human life is a lifetime, what is most valuable? In fact, no matter how much wealth a person has, it will eventually dissipate, and no matter how powerful the power is, it is just a cloud. Only good character is the wealth that we cannot lose.'
'Just as a trader carries loads, don't take advantage, when seeing the poor and destitute, we must be kind and sympathetic,'
Be honest first when doing things, and you will be blessed, and your life will go smoothly.
Once, a young businessman was known for his shrewdness and efficiency in the industry, but he repeatedly suffered setbacks, which made him very troubled.
One day, in a bad mood, he was browsing the street and bought a newspaper, and an article caught his attention. He suddenly realized the light. He began to reorganize his future plans and fought again in the business world, and in a few years he created assets worth billions.
When asked about his secret to success, he said four words: 'Take only 60 percent.'
'When cooperating with others, if you take 70% reasonably, 80% is also acceptable, then we can take 60%.' He realized that it was a mistake to be too shrewd and calculating when he understood this.
'Great wisdom is like simple, dealing with people, shrewdness is not as good as honesty.'
Shrewd people may seem to gain benefits in the short term, but they lose long-term development space.
Honesty is a vision, making people feel solid and reliable, and it is easier to gain the respect and trust of others, and life will become smoother.
As the saying goes: 'Cultivate virtue, and be most honest in integrity.'
People without integrity don't know what they can do. The key to interpersonal relationships is credibility.
In the past, a monk was old and had two disciples, and he chose one of them to be the heir. He gave each of them a bag of cooked rice and said, 'You have one year. Whoever harvests more rice is the next heir.' After a year, the elder apprentice returned with two full baskets of rice, and the younger apprentice returned empty-handed.
Everyone thought that the elder apprentice must be the heir, but the monk announced that the younger apprentice was the heir. Everyone was puzzled, and the elder apprentice was even more dissatisfied and questioned: 'It's not about who harvests more rice, but who is the heir?'
The monk smiled and said, 'I gave you cooked rice, which is not suitable for planting. You have harvested rice, but you have lost your integrity.' Everyone realized the mistake. The elder apprentice blushed.
Confucius once said: 'A person without integrity doesn't know what he can do.'
Without integrity, a person doesn't know what he can do.
Integrity may bring short-term benefits, but it will not last long.
'To be entrusted with a great responsibility, you must be honest and reliable.' Being honest and reliable is the key to standing on your feet in society.
Kindness is the lowest-cost investment. Your kindness hides your blessings.
If you are a good person, there will be a good fate; if you are a good person, heaven will help you.
'Kindness is not done deliberately for others to see, it is a pleasant and natural thing, just like sometimes kindness is just for peace of mind.'
Those who love each other will return; those who are lucky will be rewarded.
All the ways to overcome difficulties are due to your character and kindness.
If you like someone, you start with resonance, you are attracted by their talent, and you are loyal to their character.
Therefore, good character is the most valuable asset of a person.
