Features: Navigating life requires both the principles of "square" and "round." The "square" refers to the outward personality and methods, while the "round" represents the inner temperament and attitude deeply rooted in the heart. The ancients often said, "Inner square, outer round," precisely capturing this essence. Clearly, this harmonious blend of inner square and outer round is the great wisdom and profound knowledge of how to live and act, far beyond the petty games of ordinary life.
Why is "inner square" necessary in life and work? Everyone knows that "square" directly means "straight"—the courage, temperament, and determination to pursue life goals, to break new ground, and to dare to act. In simple terms, it means striving for one's own success, refusing to compromise, standing tall in adversity, and competing with others.
Why is "outer round" also essential? Because human relationships are often filled with subtle dynamics that cannot be expressed directly—what you think may be exactly what others think, and what you need may be what others need. Those who master the art of "outer round" succeed; those who deviate from it fail.
