Someone asked on Zhihu: What is the highest evaluation of a person?
There is a highly praised reply: "Everything has an explanation, every thing has a conclusion, and everything has an echo."
is actually just two words: reliable.
Reliable is not just a person's attitude towards doing things, but more about a person's moral cultivation.
Reliable people have good character, keep their words in mind, have principles in their work, and know how to think from the perspective of others. You will be very at ease when you get along with such a person; you will be extremely at ease when you do things with such a person. A reliable person, keep his word
There is a familiar saying in " Analects of Confucius·Zilu ": Do what you say, do what you do, and make sure what you do.
is reliable, to put it simply, it is trustworthy. Promise others to do things. Only in this way can others trust you more and be willing to maintain long-term contact with you.
There is such a story in "Yu Lizi".
There is a businessman in Jiyang. The ship sank while crossing the river. A fisherman just happened to pass by.
The businessman hurriedly told the fisherman, "I am a Monopoly in Jiyang. If you save me, I can give you 100 taels of gold."
But when the fisherman rescued him, the merchant turned against him and only gave the fisherman 10 taels of gold.
The fisherman blamed him for not keeping his word and going back on his word.
But the rich man said, you can’t earn much gold in a year if you are a fisherman. Are you not enough for ten taels of gold?
Unexpectedly, not long after, the merchant capsized in the river again.
While shouting for help, the fisherman told the onlookers: "He is the one who keeps his words." So everyone left one after another, and the merchant also lost his life because of his breach of trust.
Once a person breaks his trust, when he is in trouble, no one will save him.
There is a story about paradigm and Zhang Shao in " Later Han Shu ". The two are classmates and friends.
When they returned home, the two agreed to meet at Zhang Shao’s house one day two years later. Two years passed in a blink of an eye, and the agreed date was coming. Zhang Shao told his mother about this and asked her to prepare for the reception.
Mother disagreed. It has been two years since then. How did you know he will come?
Zhang Shao said: "Banshi is a reliable person and will definitely not violate the agreement."
As expected, Baishi came as promised, and the two of them drank together and spoke freely.
The ancients said: "A gentleman cultivates himself, no one is good at integrity."
The most important thing for a person is integrity.
Keep your word, be responsible for your work, and behave in everything rightly. You must be a reliable person. Reliable people have principles in doing things
British writer Smyers once said: "A man without principles and will is like a ship without a rudder and compass . He will change his direction at any time as the wind changes."
If you are not competent for things, don't easily agree to others. Once you make a promise, you must fulfill your promise.
Whether it is a human being or a worker, we all like to get along with reliable people, be responsible, principled, and have a beginning and end to do things.
Writer Chi Li once said this: Reliable, simple to say, but complicated to fall into it; it sounds like a feeling, but it is a principle to do it.
Reliable people, keep their promises, as long as they promise others' things, they will do it.
Reliable people have principles in doing things and will not do things against their own conscience;
Reliable people will stand in the other person's position in everything, and will not only consider it for themselves.
Some people say that reliable is the highest level of evaluation of a person.
May you and me be the reliable person in the eyes of others.
