Think Twice

In "Three Thoughts", we will follow the ancients, watch how they think about danger, retreat, and change, watch their successes and failures, and learn from their conduct as a person. On the road of life, only by being prepared for danger in times of peace can we prepare for rainy days and be prepared for danger; only by thinking about retreat while advancing can we use retreat as advancement and move freely; only by seeking change quietly can we not be complacent and stagnant. To think twice in life is to enter the highest realm of life, and it is a must-learn lesson for everyone. One of them is thinking about danger: There is a saying in "Three Kingdoms": "The wise see the danger in the invisible, and the wise see the danger in the late stage." A truly wise man can be keenly aware of the crisis before it comes and think of countermeasures in advance. On the contrary, those who are short-sighted and superficial will often endanger themselves. Not having a sense of crisis is the biggest crisis. If you want to achieve a great career, you must be prepared for dangers in times of peace and be steady and far-reaching; if you want to be in a high position and not fall down, you must be aware of dangers at all times and nip them in the bud. This is the most sober way to live in the world. The second thought is to retreat: Retreating does not mean shrinking back or admitting defeat, but rather keeping a low profile and gathering momentum. It is another form of advancement. Only those who give up when things are good and regress at the right time will have the last laugh. His second thought: "Book of Changes" says: "If you are poor, you will change; if you change, you will be flexible; if you are flexible, you will be long-lasting." If you don't know how to adapt to things, and don't look back until you hit the wall, that's not "courage" but "mediocrity." A truly wise person often knows how to think about changes, and knows how to reflect on and adjust himself in a timely manner. If you know where you made a mistake and how to correct it, you can stop the loss in time and be the first to take action.
