Volume 4 Chapter 4 Victory knocks at the door [-]
When you are proud, prepare for when you are frustrated

It's wise and easy to do your homework beforehand.When good luck strikes you, you will have many friends, and they will all help you.At this time, you should be prepared for bad luck, because when you are in adversity, getting help from others will become your extravagant hope, even if others are willing to help you, you need to pay a high price to get it.Have some friends and people who are grateful to you, and one day you will find that these seemingly insignificant people suddenly have great value.A vile man cannot have friends, because when things are going well for them he wants no one to be friends with, and when things are bad he wants no one to be friends with him.

——"The Book of Wisdom"

Preparing for a rainy day is a sense of crisis, an attitude towards doing things, a wisdom of success, and a general pattern of life.A person who knows how to plan for a rainy day has great foresight. He can look ahead, assess the situation, be prepared for danger in times of peace, make preparations in advance, seize opportunities and win opportunities.

When is a person most dangerous?There are dangers everywhere, there is a cliff in front of you and there is no retreat behind, or is the surrounding quiet, with birds singing and flowers fragrant?When you fail, you complain that happiness is too far away. When you succeed, you feel that the future is worry-free.I always feel that spring is the best, and winter should have disappeared from this world long ago.However, if you only want to enjoy the warmth of spring and forget about the doomed winter, it will come early.

Therefore, no matter what we do, we should prepare in advance and prevent problems before they happen, so as not to be helpless when the crisis comes, especially when we achieve success, because people are often dazzled by sudden success, and excitement replaces the previous reason and reason. alert.When success comes, pride comes with it.This time is the most dangerous time.

In 559 BC, Cyrus became king of Media and Persia.He defeated the ruler of Libya, Chrysus; and conquered the Ionian Islands and other smaller kingdoms; and successfully annihilated Babylon, becoming the king of Europe-Cyrus the Great.

After this, he prepared to attack the Massagueta tribe led by Queen Tomilis.Proud and conceited, he doesn't pay attention to the Massageta tribe at all, and thinks he is an invincible superman.Had he been able to defeat the Massagtas, his empire would have grown even larger.

Soon, Cyrus began to launch an attack on the Aregus River.As soon as they had crossed the river, they pitched their camps by the river bank, filled with meat and strong wine, and then left the weakest soldiers in the camp, and withdrew the rest of the army to the west bank, and the Massagueta army quickly captured the camp.Dazed by the victory, the Massague soldiers were attracted by the incredible banquet left on the scene. They forgot the danger, ate and drank, and got drunk one by one.The Persian army returned to camp that night and captured the sleeping soldiers, including young Spargopisis, son of Queen Tomilis.

When the queen heard the news, she sent a letter to Cyrus, reprimanding him for defeating her army by tricks.She said: "If you leave my country and release my son, I will give you 1/3 of the land. Otherwise, I will give you what you deserve." However, Cyrus ignored her words .

Soon, the queen's son committed suicide because he could not bear the humiliation.Tomilis is devastated by the news of her son's death.She summoned all the troops that could be recruited in the kingdom, inspired them to rise up with the fanaticism of revenge, fought fiercely and bloodily with Cyrus' troops, and finally defeated Cyrus. 

Everyone desires to be successful, but in the face of successive successes, it is often difficult to stop.Prudent people know how to accept rational constraints at this time, control their complacency when they succeed, act more cautiously, and nip possible dangers in the bud. Only in this way can the road of life be more steadfast , more long-term.
