Features: We believe that exploring why a person fails is more meaningful than exploring why they succeed, and examining the reasons behind the failures of successful individuals is even more thought-provoking. Behind success, apart from personal ability, factors like opportunity, timing, and circumstances also play a significant role. When facing failure, a person often fights to the end, and if they cannot escape it, there are naturally many inevitable factors involved. History is created by people, and in turn, it shapes people's destinies. History has generously given many people opportunities to become legendary heroes; at the same time, it has ruthlessly shattered the feasts of some and led them to their doom. In Chinese history, there is a group of people who are both beneficiaries and victims of history. They seized rare opportunities in history, achieved earth-shaking achievements, rewritten and created history, but ultimately had to accept the tragic fate of failure and took a path of unnatural death. Their "success" and "failure" are actually the result of a collision between human nature and historical rules. The Blind Spots of Human Nature—The Deaths of Ten Famous Civil Officials in Chinese History and The Traps of Human Nature—The Deaths of Ten Famous Military Officials in Chinese History are about such successful individuals who later failed. Exploring the reasons for their success and failure from a moral perspective is superficial; examining them from a social and historical perspective also seems a bit forced—explaining their success does not explain their failure, and explaining their failure does not explain their success. Therefore, we attempt to start from the individual's perspective, exploring their personalities, and we find that here are not only clear historical events, figures, and stories, but also clear answers. Exploring the internal personality reasons for personal success and failure, we believe this should also be of interest and necessity to readers.
