If you want everyone to live well, and even give up your own interests and make the survival of others, it is a "realm".
Then it does not interfere with others' survival in society, does not infringe on the interests of others, and does not destroy the current environment of society. This is the "bottom line".
Not everyone has it or must have it, but the bottom line is that everyone cannot be missing every day.
The bottom line is the foundation of a person's survival, the foundation, and the last line of defense for human nature.
If a person has no bottom line, then any bad thing can be done.
If a society has no bottom line, then all kinds of strange things will happen.
Whether it is people or society, the bottom line is extremely important.

No matter how poor you are, you can't cheat your friends
people live for a lifetime, and there will inevitably be time to be poor.
But no matter how poor a person is, he must be poor and ambitious. He cannot always feel that he is not as rich as others, and he feels that others owe him what he is, and even makes measures to cheat his friends.
As a person, don’t change your integrity because you are poor, don’t easily change your ambition just because your identity and status are not as good as others
Do you cheat your friends and cut off your life’s future.
There is such a fable:
Donkey and fox make an appointment to hunt together.
On the way, I met a ferocious lion. When the fox saw that the situation was not good, he immediately ran to the lion and suggested that as long as he could let him go, he was willing to hand over the donkey to the lion.
The lion agreed readily, and the fox tried every means to lure the donkey into a trap.
The fox brought the lion to prove that he handed over the donkey and begged the lion to let him go. But when the lion saw that the donkey could not escape the trap, he thought to himself: "Since the donkey is already in his pocket, why bother to let a food run away?" So he grabbed the fox and ate it first, and then kept the donkey and then ate it slowly.
Friends are like crutches on the distant road of life, like a oar on a sailboat in life.
When people are poor, choose to cheat their friends around them; when they are killed, they deceive their friends around them, not because others do whatever they want out of trust, abandoning other people's trust in you, but they will only lose the value that exists in the eyes of others.
" Water Margin " has a story:
Lin Chong and Lu Yuhou are friends from fellow townsmen. When Lu Yuhou was in trouble, Lin Chong helped him and recommended him to work at the Taiwei Mansion.
Lu Yuhou tried every means to please Gao Yanei and made many suggestions to frame Lin Chong.
Once, Gao Yanei was greedy for Lin Chong's wife's beauty and asked Lu Yuhou to deceive Lin Chong out to drink. Lin Chong accepted Lu Yuhou's invitation without any precautions due to trust in Lu Yuhou.
, and Gao Yanei took advantage of Lin Chong's out to go to Lin Chong's house to harass his wife, but Lin Chong found out that he had to flee in a hurry.
Lu Yuhou did not feel deeply guilty about his benefactor who had helped him. Instead, he became even worse and planned to go to the court to discuss military affairs office, and finally made Lin Chong guilty. After Lin Chong was sent to Cangzhou , Lu Yuhou went even more to burn the forage farm guarded by Lin Chong, and wanted to step on Lin Chong so that he could make himself prosperous. And the sky has eyes, and a heavy snow has allowed Lin Chong to escape this disaster.
In the mountain temple, Lin Chong learned that his friend Lu Yuhou had been framed and chasing him.
, Lin Chong, who has always been kind, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and broke up with Lu Yuhou's envy and killed Lu Yuhou with a gun.
The ancients said: "A gentleman does something, but does not do anything."
When a person cheats his friend for immediate interests, then this person has no conscience, morality and bottom line.
There will be a cause and a result. People who often betray friends will harm others as if they are harming themselves, and they will only end up with the consequences of themselves.
In life, people must keep their own bottom line in mind when dealing with people, and the bottom line is the dignity of being a human being.
Keep the bottom line, that is, keep your life and the future.
In life, remember: "It is the bottom line that you don't cheat your friends, and it is the conscience of your kindness in life if you are rich."

No matter how hard you are, you cannot lose your backbone
When people die in a downfall, they are influenced by the opinions of others and are most susceptible to the external environment.
This is especially true in the era where interests are the first priority.
Some people choose to use reality and survival to make excuses for themselves. This statement itself is just a funny thing. But ordinary people are strong and will not be so depressed that they cannot survive.
Bone energy is a person's bones, and if you lose your bones, you will lose your shape.
When I was young, Fan Zhongyan was recommended by his father's friend and went to Liquan Temple in Zouping to study.
At first, in order to avoid the noise in the temple, he found a secluded cave to study in the south of the temple.
Book a pot of millet sent from home every day, put it cool down and eat only one piece of it for a meal. Life is very hard.
Once, when Fan Zhongyan was studying in a cave, he was shining with dazzling light and found two small holes.
After observing close to the small hole, he realized that what was flashing inside was actually gold and silver.
He was not confused by the gold, silver and money in front of him, but turned around and continued to study.
Thirty years after leaving the temple, the temple suffered a fire, which burned in a mess. The temple master did not want the temple to be destroyed in his own hands, so he sent his disciples to Fan Zhongyan's home, hoping that Fan Zhongyan could lend a helping hand when the temple was killed.
When Fan Zhongyan learned that the temple was in trouble, he warmly invited the people to come, but he did not mention a word about the assistance to the temple building. When the people came to leave, he would write a letter to ask the people to take them back to Master Huitong.
The disciples in the temple were very angry when they heard that Fan Zhongyan did not mention the rebuilding of the temple.
So, Master Huitong showed Fan Zhongyan's letter to his disciples. The general meaning of the book was:
"I often go to the cave where I study. There is gold in one of the caves and silver in the other at the entrance of the caves; half of them are used to build temples, and the other is used to save monks."
After reading it, the disciples suddenly realized.
Just like Fan Zhongyan, you can live with backbone and not be deceived by immediate interests, so that you can maintain a strong heart and maintain the motivation to move forward forever. In life, you must not have arrogance and a backbone. Only when a person has backbone can he have a high character and a strong personality. He is a person who stands tall. No matter how hard life is, don’t forget your backbone.

No matter how difficult it is, you cannot speculate
As the saying goes, "Nine out of ten bets will lose."
want to make a big fortune with a small one, and hope to achieve success through speculation or avoid losses. This is a misunderstanding in people's development.
If speculation is equal to gambling, this statement will definitely be opposed by many people, but in fact, the end of speculation will not be too good.
Aesop's fable "The Donkey with Salt and Cotton" tells a story:
There is a businessman who often goes to two places to do business. On the way through, there is a river. In order to bring goods across the river, the merchant specially bought a donkey.
Once, the merchant planned to take the salt to another place for sale and transport the batch of salt with a donkey.
Donkey was going crazy when he saw the pile of salt bags, and he thought hard about how to get rid of this weight.
When crossing the river, the donkey wanted to be lazy. Inadvertently, the salt on his back was soaked in the river. The salt melted a lot. When the donkey stood up, he immediately felt much more relaxed on his back, and was ecstatic, thinking that this was a good way to be lazy.
When transporting salt across the river again, donkeys will choose to be lazy and soak the salt in the river, and the transportation time will be reduced a lot.
When the merchant unloaded the salt, he found that there was much less salt. He could not figure out where he lost the salt, and the donkey was smug.
Not long after, the merchant had to transport cotton across the river. Although the goods were much more salt than before, the donkey was not worried. He could use the trick of soaking to help him reduce the load.
to the river. The donkey deliberately was lazy and quietly soaked the cotton in water, thinking that the cotton would also melt. But the cotton that had absorbed enough water was like a mountain. The cotton pressed heavily on the donkey, making the donkey breathless. A rapid stream of the river came, and the donkey was washed down by the water and drowned in the river not long after.
The world is full of wise people and few fools. After years of experience, sooner or later, you will be seen clearly under that veil.
No matter what you do, you must be down-to-earth; if you just copy it and always think about being lazy, you will only end up with the donkey.
people can take shortcuts for a while, but they cannot take shortcuts for a lifetime.
No matter how difficult life is, don’t take shortcuts!
