What Do Leaders Do Without Appreciation Of Themselves?
In essence, the Fourth Confucius in the Analects of Confucius said: "do not suffer from no position.
We must know not what we know.
In the spring and Autumn period, the senior managers of various countries or those who have made great contributions can stand on either side of the hall (the court Hall). The first person on the side is the civil servant. The first person is the civil official. The other is the military officer. The first person who takes the lead is also the biggest officer in the army, and only the king can sit and talk.
So Confucius said, "man, don't worry and worry that you have no job. You should worry about your ability and talent to stand on the court.
Do not worry that others do not know what ability they have, but only to constantly enrich themselves, so that they have more abilities that others deserve to know.
In this case, Confucius gave two criteria for being a man: 1., he should first be accountable to himself; 2., do everything in order to live safely.
In the past twenty years, more than 1000 presidents have graduated from the US West Point, and more than 2000 vice chairmen have been appointed. The number of directors or directors at the same level has more than 5000. There are more than 5000 people in the world's top 500.
Perhaps no business school in the world can produce so many top personalities.
Why?
We can take a look at West Point's standards for students - punctuality, integrity, integrity and fortitude.
These are the most basic qualities required by any excellent enterprise to their leaders, and they are also the qualities most worth digging or cultivating.
In comparison, business schools teach more about business knowledge and experience, but relatively lack the cultivation of the most basic human qualities.
Perhaps that is why West Point, not business schools, has developed the best leaders.
From this point of view, if we analyze the outstanding figures in history, we will come to the conclusion that successful people are not necessarily related to character, mind, knowledge, quality, even race and race, but there is a common sense in them, that is, a deep sense of responsibility for themselves.
There are three important characteristics of such a person: first, keep their promises; second, there are no excuses or excuses; third, never say die.
When we look at the American blockbuster "the story of Agam", it is not Agam who is able to move us, but his perseverance and sincerity.
He is a man who is responsible for himself.
Those who are responsible for themselves will always be self reliant, self-esteem and self-reliance.
Most of the people can be recognized by the society, but the good people are not necessarily recognized by the society.
Some people try their best to make a difference, but others try their best and try hard.
Such an example is not uncommon.
In Han Feizi, there is a very famous story: Once upon a time, there was a man named "he" in Chu state. He found a jade in the stone of Chu mountain and gave it to King Li.
King Li asked the jeweler to identify him.
"This is just a general stone," said the jeweler.
King Li was furious, and ordered his left foot to be cut off.
After King Wu ascended the throne, he gave jade, and the jeweler said, "it's a general stone."
So he was also cut off his right foot.
After King Wu died, King Wen ascended the throne.
He held the jade to cry at the foot of Chu mountain and cried with tears.
Wen Wang heard about it and sent someone to ask why.
He said, "I am not sad because my feet have been cut off. Real jewels are said to be ordinary stones. Honest people are called liars, and I am grieved for this."
Wen Wang asked jewellery to carefully polish the jade, which turned out to be a gem.
Hence, this treasure jade is named "he Shi Bi" by the name of he.
The ability to identify jade is better than the Royal jewellery of the court, but it has not been recognized by Chu Li Wang, and has been chopped off the left foot.
In the spirit of being responsible for himself, he once again offered his treasure, but he was cut off his right foot, but he still did not change his attitude towards himself. He insisted on his viewpoint in the way of tears and crying blood and was finally recognized by the third kings.
The price paid is not small, but his persistence has won the respect of Chu Wen Wang.
Therefore, it is not necessary to sigh if there is no recognition.
While criticising others, think more about yourself, do you have the real ability to settle down, and do you have any capital to boast about?
This is Confucius's theory of destiny.
It should be admitted that the degree of subjective effort is not necessarily proportional to the probability of success.
However, as the English philosopher Francis Bacon said, "the growth and decline of fortune is a contingency of the outside world, but the luck of a man is mainly in his own hands."
