A detailed analysis of the Analects of Zihan, The Analects of Zihan Zijue IV

Zi said: "Can you say anything in French? Change it to expensive. Xun and what he said, can he say anything? It's expensive. Say it without deducing, so as not to change, I have already done what it is. ”

Confucius said: Who can not obey the righteous words and persuasions of the Yan tribe "in accordance with the rules of etiquette?" But it is only by following it that it is valuable to correct one's mistakes.

Who can be upset when a word of praise is heard? But only by seriously examining it (the truth and falsehood) can it be forgiving. Just being happy and not analyzing, just saying that I listen and don't correct my mistakes, I really can't do anything about him (for such a person).

Comment] The first level of opinion here is the issue of consistency between words and deeds. Obeying what is in accordance with the rules of etiquette is only one aspect of the problem, but it is the essence of the problem to correct one's mistakes in accordance with the rules of etiquette. The second level means that the words of the ear are contrary to the ear, and the truth of the words that are good for the ears should be carefully distinguished.

These points are especially true in the work, such as if the work arranged by the leader is only promised very well and does not do, it is not good, or as a leader, only willing to listen to the words of deference and praise, and slowly no one will advise, then the performance of the enterprise will definitely be greatly reduced. Another example is that if there is a problem at work, you always self-examine and do not really practice change, and over time, you will lose trust, and your development will be hindered. Therefore, for the two points that Confucius talked about in a crude way, we should learn from it today and act according to such principles.

Zi Jue 4: No will, no need, no solidity, no me.

Throughout his life, Confucius put an end to these four faults: not conjecture, not arbitrary, not stubborn, and not self-righteous.

Confucius has four precepts: "Yi". Don't speculate out of thin air, don't reason about others, rely more on communication to solve problems, and look at problems from facts.

Must". This is especially important for leaders, not to be arbitrary. If the idea of having power is that "what I say should be executed", then sooner or later the organization will collapse.

solid". Don't be stubborn, don't think that everything should go according to your plan, and learn to embrace uncertainty, so that you can make "exponential" progress in life. "Me".

Don't be self-righteous, no matter what achievements you make, don't take yourself too seriously, humility is the booster of progress. The coarse spike is a very self-contained animal, from the beginning of the heart, like to speculate without evidence, subjective and arbitrary when expressing opinions, once Yan Wubu takes action, he likes to be stubborn, and he is even more self-righteous in the process of doing things. These four kinds of problems can be said to be common to everyone, which involves people's instinctive psychology and behavioral habits, and will have a profound impact on people's cognition of the objective world and their behavior.
