Allusion

In the Analects of Confucius, Wei Zheng: "Zi Zhang Xue Gan Lu. Confucius said: "when you hear more about the lack of doubt, you should be careful to say the rest, then you will be less particular; when you see more of the lack of doubt, you should be careful to do the rest, then you will be less regretful. If you don't have enough words, if you don't have enough deeds, you will have enough money. "

translation

Zi Zhang learned from Confucius the method of seeking official position and getting salary. Confucius said to him, "if you listen more, you should reserve the places in doubt first, and speak out the rest of the doubtless ones carefully, then you can reduce your mistakes; if you look more, you should reserve the places in doubt first, and implement the rest of the doubtless ones carefully, then you can reduce your regret. If we reduce our mistakes in words and remorse in deeds, the salary of the officials will be in it. "

interpretation

If you listen to other people's opinions or suggestions more about what you don't understand, and you try to speak less, you will have less complaints. If you see more about what you don't understand, you will be more cautious about your behavior, and you will have less regrets. With fewer complaints and fewer behaviors to regret, you can succeed from this experience. That is to say, we should hear more and see more, be cautious in words and deeds, then success is not far away from us.
