We should be good at pursuing happiness and avoiding disaster(yao shan yu qu fu bi huo )

After 20 years' hard work, Gou Jian, king of Yue, finally defeated his enemy state, the state of Wu. The whole country was immersed in joy and celebration. At this time, however, Fan Li, his chief meritorious official, admonished Wen Zhong, another meritorious official: "when all the birds are gone, a good bow is hidden; when a cunning rabbit dies, a running dog cooks.". The victory of the king of Yue depends on you and me. Now that the enemy has been destroyed, he will surely suspect us. Why not retire as soon as possible. " Wen Zhong thought that the king of Yue was not so heartless and didn't listen to his advice. Soon he was killed.

It is a concrete embodiment of a person's broad-minded and wise strategy that he is good at avoiding abruptly. A person, especially a leader or manager, should consciously and actively retreat when the objective conditions do not allow him to move forward or further progress will endanger himself.

This is a very important strategic thought to preserve oneself. To achieve this, we must have a high level of self-cultivation, be good at self-restraint and self-restraint; and people who lack a certain level of self-cultivation can not achieve this. History and reality have shown time and again that good at retreat and good at advance have the same strategic value. Those who are only good at retreat and not good at retreat are by no means wise people. Only those who organically combine the two and use them flexibly can be called wise people.

Concealment is not a passive way to avoid bad luck, but a temporary convergence of the edge, hiding traces, energy, standby and move. That is to say, we have to retreat. Even if we retreat, we should take the initiative, consciously and quietly to strengthen our strength, so that when the time is ripe, we can make progress. It can be seen that this retreat is not an escape, but a step forward, a preparation and prelude for the next step. Only such a retreat can be called strategy. People who know how to be flexible are good at pursuing happiness and avoiding disaster.
