The first reaction when something happens hides a person's truest character.

  The goods are now useless, and the heart is hidden in the line.

  Heard such a story:

  In ancient times, there was a well-known locksmith.

  No matter what kind of lock it is, it won't be difficult for him.

  As we get older, the locksmith's energy and physical strength gradually decline.

  He decided to pass on all his skills to one of his two disciples.

  At ordinary times, the two apprentices are respectful to him, and they can't see the good luck, so he decided to do a test.

  Bring a beautiful box and let the two disciples take turns to open it.

  The decoration of the box is very luxurious, and you can tell at a glance that the contents are valuable.

  The big disciple was clever and enlightened, and soon opened the lock on the box, and then opened the box conveniently.

  After the little apprentice opened the lock, he returned it to the teacher intact.

  So the locksmith judged that the young apprentice was more reliable and passed on all his skills to the young apprentice.

  Senior media person Xuan Dongming said:

  The first reaction we encounter is to expose our character and outlook on life.

  I don't know anyone without a thing.

  When you really face something, you can often see a person's true appearance from the other person's first reaction.

  01

  It is the honesty of a kind person not to bully others.

  We often say: people's hearts change for people's hearts, and you are true to yourself.

  If a person is not sincere enough and always cheats, he will soon be rejected.

  Sincerity is the cornerstone of life and the foundation of the world.

  If you lose sincerity, people often can't move.

  When Wu Zetian was in power, there was a prime minister named Lu Yuanfang who wanted to sell a house in Luoyang.

  The family has found a buyer and will pay soon, but he said to the buyer: this house is good everywhere, except where there is no drainage.

  Hearing this, the buyer immediately gave up the plan to buy a house.

  After the buyer left, all the family members complained that Lu Yuanfang was stupid.

  Lu Yuanfang said: You can not sell the house, but you can't cheat them.

  Although the sale of the house failed, Lu Yuanfang's reputation of not deceiving others has spread.

  The emperor and his colleagues also praised him.

  The ancients said: a gentleman must be sincere.

  A true gentleman must be honest in his heart in order to be innocent of himself and the world.

  Trees should be straight and people should be solid.

  Being sincere and not bullying is the best pass for a person to walk in the world.

  02

  It is the character of a self-disciplined person not to be greedy for profits.

  The ancients said: a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely.

  There is no wealth that everyone doesn't like, but a person's character can be seen in the way of acquiring wealth.

  There is a story in Zuozhuan:

  Someone in the State of Song got a priceless jade and gave it to Zicheng, hoping that he could seek personal gain for himself.

  Zi Han is unwilling to accept it.

  Song people said: I have someone to identify it. It is really a treasure, so I dare to dedicate it to you.

  Zi Han said: I regard "not greedy" as a treasure, and you regard jade as a treasure.

  If I accept the jade, you and I will both lose our treasures. Rather, we each keep our own treasures.

  Song people are speechless and can only leave silently.

  Wealth is a life-threatening blade, while virtue is an amulet.

  All wealth needs to be carried by virtue.

  Being greedy for profit is self-discipline and practice.

  Only by constantly practicing oneself and improving one's virtue can one earn and control wealth.

  Only by keeping yourself in front of money can you keep your life.

  03

  It is the cultivation of a generous person not to be angry when insulted.

  Su Shi said: "There are brave people in the world, but they are not surprised when they die, and they are not angry without reason."

  People who really have a big heart can be humiliated and calm when they encounter insults and slanders.

  In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a magistrate named He Bai in Jinan.

  He doesn't like ostentation and extravagance, and he often goes his own way.

  One night, he visited Daming Lake alone and bumped into a drunk on his way back.

  The drunk swore: I'm going out, who won't give way? Who are you? Get out of here.

  As it happens, He Zhuo's entourage passed by.

  Pointing at the drunk, he said, this is the prefect, and it is something you can abuse.

  The drunkard ignored it and still swore.

  The servant was furious and was about to hit the drunk.

  He Bai quickly stopped: "The road is smooth, and everyone walks, not to mention being drunk and unable to control themselves. All human beings are equal, so why scare him with official titles? I'm hungry, go back and cook. "

  Since then, the reputation of the magistrate He Zhuo's generosity has also spread.

  Wang Yangming said, narrowness of heart is the root of disaster, and broadmindedness is the door to happiness.

  Narrow-minded people always struggle to win or lose when they are offended and insulted, and eventually they get stuck in the mire.

  People who are generous in heart are unwilling to care about others' offense, and always bear their own contradictions and resolve them.

  Endure a calm moment and take a step back.

  It is a realm and a kind of accomplishment for a truly powerful person not to compete with the laity and argue with the villain about right and wrong.

  04

  It is the responsibility of the brave not to avoid being killed.

  Teacher Luo Xiang once said: Courage is the scarcest virtue of human beings.

  It needs to overcome fear, take responsibility, and stick to morality and faith.

  If you don't take refuge, you don't shirk your responsibility.

  A person who does not run away from difficulties and dares to take responsibility is often trustworthy and trustworthy.

  There is a story in Old Tang Book.

  When Li Gao was a long history of Wenzhou, there was a famine in Wenzhou one year.

  At that time, there were hundreds of thousands of grain reserves in the official warehouse, and Li Gao was ready to use them to help the people.

  However, without the permission of the emperor, it is a great sin to use the grain of the official warehouse privately and automatically.

  His men advised him to wait for the emperor's will before acting.

  Li Gao said that the people would starve to death if they had no food, so there was no time to wait for the emperor's orders. The emperor blamed it, and I'll take the fall alone.

  So he ordered the warehouse to be opened and the grain was released, and then he wrote to the emperor to plead guilty.

  When the emperor knew about it, he not only didn't punish him, but felt that he had the courage to do anything, and promoted him to be a Shaofu supervisor.

  Hemingway has a good saying: courage is a virtue under pressure and a light in danger.

  In the face of the dilemma trap, one can still show determination and courage, which is a pattern and also a kind of courage.

  Shan Ying is not afraid of steep peaks, so he will not bow his head before a good horse cliff.

  In the face of life difficulties, dare to break through and take on, so that people can walk out of a broader world.

  05

  It is the mind of a generous person not to be responsible for things.

  The ancients said: it is not right to blame others, but to distinguish yourself.

  It means: when preparing for others, you don't let go of small things like hair, but when you face your own mistakes, you become very confused.

  People naturally like to blame others and forgive themselves.

  People who really have a big pattern know how to be strict with themselves and forgive others, and they don't have so much anger and blame for the injuries and mistakes of others.

  Han Qi, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, once got two priceless jade lamps.

  Every time he holds a banquet for distinguished guests, he likes to take out the jade lamp for everyone to enjoy.

  As a result, one day, when Han Qi was entertaining guests, a petty official accidentally knocked down the jade lamp and smashed it to pieces.

  The guests were frightened, and the petty officials prostrated themselves in confession.

  Han Qi, however, said quietly to the beadle: Everyone is negligent, and you didn't do it on purpose. What's wrong?

  The guests all admired Han Qi's generosity.

  Han Qi held two emperors. After three dynasties, it was almost half the sky in the Northern Song Dynasty.

  Excellent moral character, outstanding achievements, and being able to enjoy the temple court after death can be said to have achieved the limit of ancient people and ministers.

  The ancients said: only width can accommodate people, but thickness can carry things.

  Tolerance is a kind of mind, but also a pattern.

  Open-minded people can be tolerant, and loyal people can take responsibility.

  Kindness and kindness can make a person more blessed.

  The ancients said: people's hearts are separated by their bellies, and they don't fight each other inside and outside.

  People's hearts and appearances are different, which makes it difficult to guess and understand.

  But when facing things, a person's reaction can often reveal his true appearance.

  The goods are now useless, and the heart is hidden in the line.

  Give me a compliment, keep a pair of discerning eyes in the complicated world, make friends with good people, and keep company with sages.
