"Book of Jin·Mindi Ji Lun" writes: "The nature is as deep as a city, but it can be wide enough to accommodate it."
The so-called city has far-reaching intentions and is not easy to be understood. At any time, it is shown Calm and profound.
How to be a wealthy person? Don’t pretend to be profound, but magnify your own pattern. His heart is as broad as the sea, he is steady and silent, and he considers everything thoughtfully.
"The mountains are not high, if there are immortals, they will be famous. If the water is not deep, if there are dragons, they will be spiritual." In " Humble House Inscription ", the opening sentence is two "false words", but it can attract people. This is the transformation from "virtual" to The great wisdom of "realism".
It is true that people who are truly profound are those who "combine virtuality with reality". Everything is changing, but my heart remains unmoved, so what can I do?

If you avoid reality and hide your true goals, you will have a better chance of winning.
As the saying goes: "Fight for the inevitable and let nature take its course."
People living in society will inevitably have to deal with others, and there will be times when they have disputes. If you fight for nothing, you are destined to lose everything.
Smart people know how to avoid the sharp edges of others, have the most flexible and gentle way to argue with others, and hide their true intentions.
There is such a story in " Hundred Battles ": During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Bu refused to accept the arrangement of Emperor Guangwu and led his troops to occupy the Shandong area. Emperor Guangwu was furious and sent Geng Yan to conquer him.
At that time, Zhang Bu sent his younger brother Zhang Lan to guard Xi'an City, and the remaining troops stayed in Linzi City as backup.
Geng Yan announced: "Everyone, be prepared to attack Xi'an City in a few days." Therefore, the defenders in Xi'an City were gearing up and preparing for a hard fight.
Five days later, Geng Yan suddenly changed his direction and took all the sergeants to attack Linzi City. The defenders in Linzi City were caught off guard and surrendered after resisting for a long time. Then, the defenders in Xi'an City fled because they lost their support.
In tactics, attacking in the east and attacking in the west, and encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao are all examples of avoiding reality and making use of virtual reality.
applies tactics to life and the workplace, which is to find the right entry point and hit the weakest link.
For example, if you encounter an unruly customer, you should not confront him and negotiate repeatedly. Instead, talk to the people you trust most around him and get him to agree to cooperate; you can also seize his weak points and let him cooperate. It obeys your arrangements.
If you are an egg, don't touch the stone, but it is still okay to touch the cotton. Eggs placed on cotton will also form an indentation.
03
combine the virtual and the real, find ways to confuse the opponent and win in the chaos.
There is a saying in " Sun Tzu's Art of War ": "Soldiers are deceitful, so they can show their inability to use it, and use it to show that they are not using it."
Since ancient times, soldiers have never been tired of deception. The more concealed the method, the better the chance of winning.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty , Liu Bang led his troops to attack Xianyang. General Zhang Liang arranged for soldiers to plant flags on the mountains to create the illusion that there was strength in numbers. He also sent people Lu Jia and others to lobby the generals of the Qin army to "know the current affairs" and surrender as soon as possible. Secretly, the main force was transferred to Lantian to catch them unprepared.
It is obvious that Zhang Liang used tactics such as "bluffing, coercion and inducement" as a head-on confrontation; he used attacks on the opponent's weak links as a northern confrontation, and thus won the victory.
In nature, we will see many animals, and they will also make good use of false moves to create chaotic situations to defeat their opponents. For example, when the squid encounters danger, it will spray out black liquid. When the other party cannot find its direction, it has already fled.
In the workplace, we can make several plans and give customers their own choices. But the outcome is obvious - no matter which option the other party chooses, we are all winners. In fact, if you have a choice, the other party will be more accepting. After all, things will not be rigid.
When in love, men will let women choose houses, rings, etc. Women are very happy because they have the choice, but the ending is the same - getting married and getting married.
If you want to do something well, you must not be too rigid, but you must have room for advancement and retreat. Fake actions are actually to achieve real results.

uses fiction to cover up reality, restrains his own edge, and develops quietly.
In nature, many animals are good at hibernating.
For example, a frog squats in the grass, motionless, making the bug mistake it for a small pile of grass, and then jumps up when the bug flies freely in front of it; Dead leaf butterfly Mixes with the leaves, so it hides Survive harm from natural enemies and live freely.
People have invented words such as "make money quietly, accumulate wealth but keep a low profile, hide your strength and bide your time", which are similar to the hibernation of animals.
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao and Liu Bei drank together, leaving a good story of "green plums boiled in wine to discuss heroes".
At that time, Liu Bei's life had not improved much, and Cao Cao was already very powerful.
Cao Cao said: "In this world, you, Liu Bei, are the only one who can stand side by side with me."
Liu Bei pretended to be timid and was so frightened that he dropped his chopsticks. Cao Cao laughed secretly when he saw this, but he didn't know that Liu Bei was thinking about the important matter of becoming emperor.
It is written in "Collection of Proverbs": "The orchid in the room smells fresh, and the chest is as wide as the city."
People who really have a deep city are like orchids in the valley, and they are not afraid that no one will come to appreciate them. Although I am in a low place and a dark place, there is sunshine in my heart and I can still hold a sea.
Hide your own edge so that others will not notice you. Just like a lotus, it lay dormant in the mud for a whole winter, and then slowly emerged from the mud. It was not until summer came that it took on the beauty of the moonlight in the lotus pond.
As a human being, instead of flaunting yourself everywhere, it is better to walk away quietly and wait until you have strong skills to soar into the sky. If you are too flamboyant, if your opponent finds out, you will be crushed, and everything you want to do will fail.
05
There is a saying that if you are clever, you will be misled by your cleverness.
If a person has no authority, speaks directly when he has something to say, and starts directly when something happens, then life is bound to be full of difficulties. It is better to lower your head, remain silent, and use a "cold" appearance to cover up the "heat" in your heart.
Of course, the combination of falsehood and reality is a way to achieve oneself, rather than being a hypocritical person, let alone deliberately hurting others with false things.
In this life, people always have to put on armor and fight with life several times.
May your heart be as big as the city and the universe, and your body be resilient as the sun and the moon grow.
