Features: Life is fleeting. From the moment we set our sights on something, we are essentially engaged in two main tasks: the first is the understanding and self-improvement of the subjective world; the second is the understanding and mastery of the objective world. The purpose of accomplishing these two major tasks is simply for survival. And the major issue we face in survival is whether we can adapt. The scope of adaptation is so vast that it can encompass all aspects of survival, including acquiring the material and spiritual products needed for survival, as well as resolving survival crises. The essence of adaptation is to recognize the times and trends, and to change with the changes. This book draws lessons from Chinese history to narrate a story where the adaptable become heroes, while the unadaptable become lessons. The principles contained within it provide readers with a topic for reflection as they engage with the text.
