Someone commented on Zeng Guofan : "A general wins, and a general loses." Zeng Guofan is a general, not a specialist.
When Zeng Guofan first became a climate, the most important homework was to choose people and take the opportunity. He focused on "controlling the situation", selected appropriate talents according to the situation and task needs, and used favorable situations to increase his subordinates' confidence and courage, thus displaying his greatest talents.
When the situation is conducive to development, seize the opportunity, use the favorable situation to play the role of talents, and take the initiative; when in a disadvantaged position, stand up and take the initiative to take the initiative.
control stage is the "dry all day" stage in " Yijing ", which means a person with lofty ideals and ambitions, who does manly things with the spirit of a top man during the day, and can think about the things during the day as during the day, and think about the things during the day as during the day, and be rigorous and vigilant. With this attribute, even if the goal is high, there will be no mistakes.
Controlling momentum means that the "momentum" that has developed is in control. When a person has a certain foundation in accumulating momentum and measuring momentum, he needs to pay more attention to controlling momentum and using momentum.
The key point of controlling the momentum is:
First, advance and retreat must be well-founded. If the time comes, you should know how to fight for it; when it is time to end, you know how to terminate immediately.
Second, stick to your own position and end.
Third, if a person is in a high position, can not be proud, is not depressed, and can urge himself to continue to practice and work hard anytime, anywhere, then even if he encounters a crisis, there will be no disaster.
However, the momentum control stage is also the most prone stage to make mistakes, so you need to be extra careful. Just as the seedlings have just grown up and cannot resist the wind and frost, so you must take care of them carefully.
At the same time, we must follow the practices mentioned by the Qian Gua and stick to the strong and upright virtues. Even at night, we must be as vigilant as during the day and move forward continuously to complete our great cause. Otherwise, if you are arrogant and self-reliant, you will have the possibility of regretting something because of a mistake.
Zeng Guofan formed Hunan Army , accumulating the foundation for making achievements. However, he knew that if he was not careful at this time, all his efforts would be wasted, so he worked hard from beginning to end, fearing of making mistakes; at the same time, he adhered to the right path and persisted in choosing people and taking advantage of the situation. This is the necessary attitude in the stage of controlling the situation.
