Every day, we cannot avoid dealing with people.And our success or failure is closely related to the people we interact with.It cannot be denied that there are men of every character among the people with whom we associate.So, who are the friends who are not worth associating with, and who are not beneficial to our cause but harmful? The hexagram of "Cui Gua" says: "A gentleman uses the weapon of war to avoid danger", which points us to the direction of making friends: Do not make bad friends.

Bad friends all have common characteristics: they are always centered on self-feeling, and do not know how to protect the interests of friends; they do not know how to be grateful, and they do not know how to reciprocate their feelings;This kind of people must not make friends, and it is not worth making friends, otherwise, it will only bring us a lot of trouble and disaster.

During Song Renzong's time, Wen Yanbo and Liu Hang were called brothers and brothers, and they seemed very close.

Some political friends of Wen Yanbo reminded Wen Yanbo: "Liu Hang is upright on the surface, but in fact he has a bad stomach, and he is sinister and vicious. You should not make friends with him." Therefore, Wen Yanbo observed Liu Hang carefully and saw him Always doing one thing in front of one's face and another in another's back, it really is a villain's behavior, so I increased my precautions against him.

Song Renzong's spirit was not good in his later years, and he had seizures from time to time.One day, Renzong fell ill again, and Wen Yanbo was on duty in the palace.In the middle of the night, Wang Su, the magistrate of Kaifeng, came to see Wen Yanbo, saying that he had something important to report.Wen Yanbo thought about the safety of the emperor in the palace, so he didn't see him right away.

Early the next morning, Wen Yanbo asked Wang Su why.Wang Su said that a jailer reported that the leader of the imperial army was planning to rebel, and asked Wen Yanbo to arrest him immediately.

Wen Yanbo knew that this matter was extraordinary, if he caught the wrong one, the emperor would definitely blame himself, so he decided to proceed with caution.He asked Xu Huaide, the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, for advice, and Xu Huaide said: "I know the person who was reported by the jailer best. He is loyal and never has the intention of treason. If you don't believe me, I can guarantee it with my head." Fact After the investigation was clear, it was proved that this was a false accusation by the jailer.Wen Yanbo advocated beheading the jailer, and the ministers had no objection.Wen Yanbo secretly checked Liu Hang's face, and saw a trace of complacency in him, which was fleeting.He pondered for a while, so when he signed the execution order, he insisted on Liu Hang's signature.

After Renzong's condition improved, Liu Hang, in order to bring down Wen Yanbo, falsely accused Wen Yanbo of hiding from the emperor, and killed the jailer who had reported the treason on his own initiative.Renzong suspected that Wen Yanbo had something to do with the rebellion, and immediately called him in for questioning.Thanks to Wen Yanbo's precautions against Liu Hang's poisonous move in advance, he took out the execution order signed by Liu Hang on the spot, and Renzong dispelled his doubts.

To deal with bad friends, not making friends is the best policy.If you have already made friends, you should try to distance yourself and be on guard so as not to be damaged.

Xiang said: Wood grows in the ground and rises.A gentleman is Shunde, and a small one is tall.

Everyone knows that if the rivers, seas and lakes want to become vast, they cannot refuse the injection of small rivers; if the mountains want to become tall and majestic, they cannot refuse the dust to fall on them. This is the principle of accumulation. The hexagrams in "Sheng Gua" say: "A gentleman uses Shunde, and small things make him big." It is believed that a gentleman should understand this principle of accumulating less to make more, and collecting armpits to make a fur, in order to be able to advance step by step.

At the beginning of the 20th century, in the United States and Japan on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, two young people were working hard for their own lives.

The Japanese on the West Bank insisted on depositing one-third of his wages and bonuses in the bank every month, even though his life was often in a predicament, and sometimes he even borrowed money to survive and never touched the bank deposits.

The situation of Americans living on the east coast of the ocean is even worse than this Japanese. He hides in the small basement all day long, draws millions of K-lines on paper one by one, sticks them on the wall, and then After coming down, I will think about these K-lines quietly, and sometimes I can even stare at a K-line chart for several hours.Later, he simply collected the historical records of the U.S. stock market and looked for regularities in the chaotic data.With no client without a salary, the American had to live on the help of his friends many times.

This situation continued for six years of their lives.During these six years, the Japanese accumulated a deposit of [-] U.S. dollars by persistent savings; while the Americans concentrated on the relationship between the trend of the American stock market and ancient mathematics, geometry and astrology.

Six years later, the Japanese impresses a banker with his story of accumulating wealth.He obtained a loan of US$100 million from a banker to start a business, established the first branch of McDonald's in Japan, and thus became the head of the McDonald's Japanese chain company. He is Fujita.

Also six years later, the American established his own brokerage company and discovered the most important method of predicting the development trend of the securities market. He named this method "controlling the time factor."He earned a fortune of [-] million U.S. dollars in his financial investment career, and became a mythical figure on Wall Street who made his fortune by researching theories. Is he William?Gann, the founder of the most important "Wave Theory" well-known in the world's securities industry.

The Japanese Fujita started to save money by saving money, and the American William?Gann got rich by studying the K-line theory, but there is a common wisdom in these two seemingly irrelevant stories, that is, many people who have achieved great careers also accumulated bit by bit. Accumulate the strength of success in it.

Life wisdom
Learning requires accumulation, experience requires accumulation, and success requires accumulation.We must be good at accumulating the power of success persistently on a chosen path of life.When this force is strong enough, success will erupt.

The sleepy hexagram is good at coping with difficulties
Small words and righteousness
Trapped: Heng; Zhen, auspicious adults, no blame; do not believe what you say.On the sixth day of the first day, the buttocks were trapped in the trees and entered the deep valley. At the age of three, they did not face.Ninety-two was trapped in wine and food, Zhu Fufang came and used it to enjoy the sacrifices; there is no blame for the evil.Liusan is trapped by stones, and is based on thorns; if he enters his palace and does not see his wife, it is fierce.Ninety-four Come slowly, trapped in a golden car, stingy, and have an end.Ninety-five cuts, trapped in Chifu; Xu You said, using sacrifices.The upper six are trapped in Ge and in danger; it is said that there are regrets and regrets, and auspiciousness is conquered.

The hexagram of sleepiness symbolizes poverty.Prosperity is smooth; if you carry out divination and questioning, people with great virtue and talent will get good luck, and there will be no disasters.But when you confess yourself, others don't believe it.

On the sixth day of the sixth day, he was trapped on a tree trunk and couldn't settle down. He had to retreat to a dark valley and didn't show up for three years.

Ninety-two was drunk, and the big red sacrificial clothes were delivered, which happened to be used to worship the gods.At this time, when troops are launched to fight, although there are many dangers, there are no disasters.

The road to Liusan was blocked by rocks and impoverished, so he had to live on top of thistles, and when he returned to his home and could not see his wife, it must be dangerous.

September [-] came slowly because it was blocked by the golden car; but although the action was difficult, it had good results.

In the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the punishment of cutting off the nose and feet was imposed to govern the people; the poverty was caused by the red sacrificial clothes, but it could gradually get rid of the predicament to facilitate the holding of sacrifices.

Shangliu was entangled in panic by Ge Yu, and regretted every action he made, so he should repent as soon as possible, so that he would surely get good results if he raised his troops and went on a campaign.

The "sleepy" in "Sleepy Gua" means difficulty and siege. This hexagram clarifies the principle of coping with adversity through a series of image metaphors such as being trapped in trees, trapped in wine and food, trapped in stones, and trapped in golden carts—— When we are in a difficult situation, we can adopt various methods such as forbearance and waiting, taking the initiative to attack, and playing by ear.Don't always imagine the difficulty so dire that you lose confidence in dealing with it.

During the Battle of Stalingrad, the German army mobilized almost all the troops on the Eastern Front to besiege Stalingrad, and there was a tendency not to withdraw troops until the city was captured.
