Features: A person who aspires to achieve great success in their career cannot take credit for their accomplishments, as this easily invites jealousy and fosters resentment in others. Therefore, Laozi said: "A truly great success is one who does not take credit for their achievements." For the strategy of yielding, Zeng Guofan said, "Hold oneself with respect, and yield to others." In fact, respect means treating everything, no matter how small, with care and attention. Yielding means leaving room for others in your actions, not claiming credit for alone, and not shifting blame when mistakes occur. When interacting with others, is it really true, as some say, that under someone else's roof, one must always bow one's head? In the minds of some, the idea of "having to bow one's head" is filled with helplessness and compulsion. Understanding the complexities of the world and human nature is a kind of profound wisdom, but here, especially when it comes to "bowing one's head" in life, it is necessary to revise it to "Under another's roof, one does not necessarily have to bow one's head." Life requires the art of bending, and both in doing and being, a certain degree of flexibility is needed. When tasting tea, take a sip, and the journey is one of. In leisure, reflect on the refreshing scenery that permeates the words, and we are all on a long journey. Since the dawn of human history, few people have been able to live according to their own will. Even emperors, who are of high status, suffer many hardships that do not go as planned. This is because we often take whether things go as we wish as the way things appear, forgetting that "what goes as one wishes is the outward expression of the heart." What goes as one wishes is the state of harmony between the heart and external things. Originally, when wisdom is awakened, one can often scratch the itchy spots in the darkness that the palm cannot reach; when wisdom is attained, one can remain calm and composed in the face of all twists and turns, only then can everything go as one wishes. It turns out that everything going as one wishes is not a pursuit but a reflection. Therefore, the "intention" in the word "what goes as one wishes" is not outside but inside—it is the reflection of the will of life, even of life itself. If we can face life with equanimity and maintain a clear mind, then everything we hope for may go as one wishes. Thus, rather than pursuing external harmony, it is more useful to awaken the light of wisdom. I hope these words can bring you "invisible benefits with tangible strength." This is the value of this book. This book explores the subtle relationship between wisdom and life from different perspectives—after reading it, the confusion in your heart will be "like a blocked passage suddenly opening." The Zen enlightenment expressed in this book aims to tell readers: "The high mountain of life is oneself."
