These two old sayings contradict each other, and the old sayings contradict each other

These two sentences were not spoken by one person. So their intentions are also different. If you look at the meaning of a sentence alone, both sentences are wrong.

If you don't sweep a house, you can't sweep the world? This bullshit doesn't make sense! Do big things without being informal?

That must refer to the small things other than the big things, if it is the small things in every link of the big plan, it is also important! Therefore, the accurate statement should be corrected to do big things without regard for idle things. But those who say these two words have their own meaning.

The former means that it is important to do every step well. The latter sentence means that what is very important outside of each step is not important, and it can be informal. They don't have the need for linguistic accuracy, that's why they say that.

Therefore, the intention of the two sentences is not contradictory. And the literal meaning is completely contradictory, the first sentence is nonsense, the second sentence is inaccurate.

If you analyze carefully, there is no contradiction between the two sentences, the first sentence means that things should start from small things and do big things step by step, while the second sentence is that when doing big things, you should grasp the main contradictions, and don't spend energy on small details to deal with.

Today, I just listened to the lecture of Mr. Nanbai, a world celebrity (you can check this person on the Internet, it is a combination of traditional culture and the application of Western management thinking, and wants to use Eastern wisdom to reshape the ideal of Eastern morality), he said that only when our thinking dimension is greater than or at least equal to the dimension of the problem can we deal with the problem well, otherwise we will only feel that it is difficult to have no way out. He believes that there is no contradiction in the world, as long as you are willing and able to think differently. Now your specific problem, sweeping a room can be understood from the perspective of habit, since childhood, there is no habit of aspiring to the world, and when you grow up, you will not have this idea.

It can be understood from the bearing and pattern of being a person that it is a matter of personal realm cultivation. All issues are not antagonistic in themselves, and it depends mainly on which angle you understand them.

It is a contradiction between "how can one sweep the world if one house is not swept away" and "those who do great things are not informal" However, it is not the dialectic of struggle (Marx's thing). It is a harmonious dialectic of positive and negative (emphasizing unity and transformation).

The emphasis is different, this one should be down-to-earth, cautious and careful, and not ambitious. One said to be generous, atmospheric, and have a strong overall view, not to care too much about local gains and losses, and not to stick to the form.

The first one should be said to people who are still in their infancy, of course, if you do big things, you don't have to sweep the house, and when you don't do big things, of course, you have to go out and sweep the house.

The second is to say to people who are already doing things, not necessarily big things, and this sentence itself is a bit ridiculous.

Could it be that the landlord is participating in a debate competition?

The environment, location, things, and people are different in the meaning of expression, and the level of understanding by future generations is also different.

If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world "If I remember correctly, it is said that big things start with small things.

"Becoming a big thing without being informal" means learning to make trade-offs at the right time, and not letting the minutiae affect judgment and execution.

I remember that the history books in elementary school were criticized vigorously, and Jiang Gong said that "if you go outside, you must first settle inside", and at that time, I also organized my classmates to write about my feelings after reading.

It's ridiculous to think about it. Looking back on this issue, under such a political stance, even the words have changed their taste, and there is no understanding of it.

The Chu people have spears and shields, and they are known as saying: "The strength of my shield is that things cannot be trapped." He also praised his spear and said:

The benefits of my spear are all trapped in things. Or rather"What is the spear of the son, the shield of the trap?

His people can also respond. The shield that cannot be trapped and the spear that is not trapped cannot stand together in the world.

Translation: There was a man in the state of Chu who sold spears and shields, and he first boasted of his shield, saying: "My shield is so strong that no spear can pierce it!" Then he boasted of his spear and said:

My spear is so sharp that no shield I use can fail to pierce it! Some of them asked him, "What would happen if you pierced your shield with your spear?" The man was dumbfounded. A shield that cannot be pierced by any spear and a spear that can be pierced by any shield cannot appear together at the same time.

His people can also respond. The shield that cannot be trapped and the spear that is not trapped cannot stand together in the world. - Han Feizi is difficult to one
