Liu Wangzu was alone at home studying military strategies. The battle example he studied was Sun Bin's fight against Pang Juan. Don't just study this matter to praise Sun Bin for enduring humiliation and his proficiency in the art of war. But in Liu Wangzu's opinion, Sun Bin made at least three mistakes
A mistake. This was a homework question left for him by Zhang Guolao.
When they were studying together, Sun Bin should have known about Pang Juan's arrogance and narrow-mindedness. Now that he knew about this person, why was Pang Juan the first one to defect after coming out of Guiguzi?
Didn't he think that Pang Juan was a narrow-minded person who would create obstacles for him and even kill him? Therefore, no matter how wise and decisive he was later, he would not be able to become the greatest military strategist and know people.
Not surprisingly, this was the first fatal mistake he made.
It was precisely because of this fatal mistake that he almost killed himself and turned him from a strong man into a disabled person. This is a critical mistake caused by a lack of understanding of human nature. This is
A mistake that a strategist should never make. To make a good strategy, you must pay attention to tactics, and the people who implement tactics and strategies are especially important. As the saying goes, people plan things, and success depends on God. In fact, there is another saying that the success or failure of people who plan things is mainly important.
It depends on how he chooses the people to implement his strategy. That is to identify the right people and use the right people. This is the premise of all strategies. Because the human factor is the most difficult to determine. By the way, I have not realized the essentials on this point.
.That’s why I made a fatal mistake.
The second mistake is that from the perspective of military science, when Sun Bin debuted, Pang Jun was already a famous military strategist. He was highly valued by the king and became a general, controlling a country's army. Of course, in terms of strategy,
He must be a far-sighted military strategist. He must also be a military wizard who is flexible and adaptable in terms of tactics.
Sun Bin should be said to be well aware of all these. But for a person with all kinds of strategies, he is still so naive. Putting himself among the applause of others is not to say that he is falling into a trap, but at least he is keeping silent about worldly affairs.
For people who have no basic defense against others, such tragedy is the inevitable result. It is natural for people to be played around with applause.
You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. This is the most basic principle of life. He does not know it. Only after suffering a big loss can you be called a strategist. Such a person is practicing the basic principles of life.
There is a lack of knowledge. No matter how great a person is, there is a process of growth. Every time he suffers, he gains wisdom. It is conceivable that after suffering such a big loss, he will eventually become a strategist. However, it cannot be forgiven.
If something unexpected happens, there will be no growth, let alone becoming a strategist. From this aspect, all people should learn a lesson and don’t understand things and people, especially interpersonal relationships.
If you put yourself in a situation easily and trust others easily, this will lead to extreme results.
This means that Sun Bin, as a Guiguzi student and a top student, is unqualified. Not only does he lack the normal defense line for interpersonal communication, but he also has no defense against his cronies and people he is familiar with, and finally puts himself in a dangerous situation.
He almost lost his life. Fortunately, God still cared about him.
Be on guard when interacting with others. This is another lesson Liu Wangzu learned from the struggle between Sun Bin and Pang Juan. It is also one of his negative arguments against Sun Bin. Negating Sun Bin does not mean affirming Pang Juan. Because denying a gentleman does not
Able to achieve success as a villain.
Sun Bin's third mistake was the so-called bearing the humiliation. After being persecuted by Pang Juan, he still couldn't wake up. He still blindly believed in others and trusted others. This was Sun Bin's most fatal mistake. He almost lost his life.
, haven’t woken up yet. Rather than saying that he is a person who easily trusts others, it is better to say that he has some problems with his IQ. In the end, he only woke up after being reminded by others.
Bearing humiliation is for revenge. But bearing humiliation means you have been humiliated first. The prerequisite for getting humiliation is that you should not be humiliated. As a shrewd Sun Bin and strategist, Sun Bin being humiliated is inexcusable. Bearing humiliation can only be a retreat.
And seek the second best.
Bearing humiliation and bearing heavy burdens is political rather than strategic. If strategic things are done in place, there will be no need to bear humiliation and bearing burdens in a Machiavellian manner. This is the third conclusion that Liu Wangzu came to. To get things done,
To be more beautiful, you must be strategically in place so that you will not endure humiliation and bear the burden, and you will not use power. In order to achieve strategic, you can use some small power. But you cannot use small power to make up for strategic. That would put the cart before the horse.
Liu Wangzu is still confident in his thinking. He is thinking repeatedly, learning lessons, and improving his strategic thinking. In particular, his understanding of human nature and the relationship between strategy and power have made him sublimated again.
While he was deep in thought, an auspicious cloud floated from the sky.
Zhang Guolao came to Liu Wangzu's study unknowingly. Seeing Liu Wangzu's lost in thought, Zhang Guolao smiled mischievously. Then he touched the brush on the table with his index finger and filled the inkstone with ink. He moved his finger again.
, that brush magically drew a big question mark on Liu Wangzu's face.
Liu Wangzu suddenly woke up.
Liu Wangzu immediately lifted up his clothes, knelt down, and said loudly, "Young disciple welcomes the master. If you are late to welcome me, go to Master Haihan."
Zhang Guolao then appeared, smiled and shook his robe sleeves, and then pulled Liu Wangzu up from the ground. He said mischievously, "You are such a boring apprentice. I want to make a joke to you, but you are here
They were kowtowing and bowing there. It made me so embarrassed!"
Liu Wangzu said respectfully, "I don't dare."
Zhang Guolao still said naughtily, "I'm bored alone in the heaven, and I wanted to have some fun with you. I didn't expect you to be so obedient. Why don't you just play with me for a while, and then we'll have some fun together?"
Do you want to discuss knowledge in a polite manner?"
Liu Wangzu continued, "How can a disciple dare to be disrespectful to his teacher?"
Zhang Guolao had no choice but to behave. "My good disciple, let me ask you, when I leave, I asked you to think about Sun Bin and Pang Juan. So did Sun Bin make any fatal mistakes?"
Liu Wangzu replied, "He made three fatal mistakes."
Zhang Guolao, "First?"
Liu Wangzu, "Know people without neglecting them."
Zhang Guolao, "Second?"
Liu Wangzu, "Don't be obsessed with worldly affairs."
Zhang Guolao, "Third?"
Liu Wangzu, “Putting the cart before the horse.”
Zhang Guolao, "A child can be taught."
Liu Wangzu said, "Master, can you explain it in detail?"
Zhang Guolao, "The first point is the most critical. If you can't even see a person clearly, how can you talk about strategy? Let alone what a strategic military strategist is. If you want to be a strategist and military strategist, you must first
Understand human nature. You must have a deep understanding of the people you use. Only by using people accurately can you achieve strategic goals and achieve military goals. This is the prerequisite for everything."
Liu Wangzu said, "My disciple thinks so too. Teacher Jin's guidance makes it clearer."
Zhang Guolao, "The second point is his fatal weakness. If you are too kind, you will have a weakness. If you are not defensive about anyone, then you will be harmed. If you are defensive about others, you may be harmed. If you are not defensive, you will be harmed.
Those are bound to be harmed. So we must understand human nature. If people want to achieve their goals, they sometimes go beyond the bottom line and use any means. So we must be on guard when dealing with people. We cannot let it go, we must nip it in the bud. Always
never fail."
Liu Wangzu, "The disciple has been taught."
Zhang Guolao, "Putting the cart before the horse causes a critical failure. When you are a human being, you cannot be a just person. When you do things, you cannot do well-thought-out things. During a war, your entire army may be wiped out because of trivial matters. You must solve them first.
It is a strategic issue and then we take tactical measures. Only in this way can we achieve the goal of victory."
Liu Wangzu, "The teacher really wakes up the dreamer with his words."
Zhang Guolao said, "It seems that you have thought this matter through."
Liu Wangzu, "Isn't it all because of the teacher's on-demand broadcast during this period?" This chapter has been completed!
