Why did your attitude become so respectful(前倨後恭)
During the Warring States Period in China,
there was a very talented man whose name was (Su Qin).
(Su Qin) When he was young, he left his
hometown and studied with a famous teacher at the time for several years.
After he finished his studies. He then
traveled all over China.
After a few more years, he returned to his
hometown.
When he returned to his hometown.
His brother, sister-in-law, younger
brother, younger sister, and other family members all despise him.
Because these family members have made a
lot of money by staying in their hometown to do business in recent years.
These family members laughed at (Su Qin).
They told (Su Qin) that the knowledge you pursue is worthless because you are
so poor.
Su Qin was very angry after hearing these
words.
But he knew clearly in his heart,
Only when he succeeds in money or power can
he prove his choice is correct.
So he endured the ridicule of his family,
He read the book carefully for a year
again,
He studied in depth how to apply his
knowledge in the real society.
Su Qin left his hometown for the second
time.
This time he successfully used his own
insight and clear logic to convince the kings of the six kingdoms.
He organized the six kingdoms to form an
alliance and fight together against the most powerful kingdom of Qin at that
time.
These six kingdoms simultaneously hired him
as the executor of this great project.
Su Qin returned to his hometown for the
second time,
When his brother, sister-in-law, younger
brother, younger sister, and other family members saw him this time, their
attitude was completely different from a few years ago.
Their attitude becomes respectful and
polite. They didn't even dare to lift their heads.
When Su Qin saw this situation, he asked
his family why your attitude was completely different from before.
The family replied. Because you now have a
lot of power and money.
After Su Qin heard this answer, he said to
himself. Everyone is snobbish. My family is the same as most people. This is
human nature. So I should forgive them.
I should even be grateful to them, if it
wasn't for their mockery that inspired me, how could I have achieved what I am
today.
This idiom is used to describe a person's
attitude towards others, from previous contempt to present respect. .
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Do you value the value of knowledge or the
value of money more? How would you deal with people who once mocked you?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.

前倨後恭(Why did your attitude become so
respectful)
中國的戰國時代，有一個很有才能的人，這個人的名字叫做(蘇秦)。
(蘇秦)年輕的時候，就離開自己的家鄉，去向一個當時很有名的老師學習了好幾年。
他完成學業後。他緊接著到中國各地去遊歷。
又過了幾年，他回到了自己的故鄉。
他回到故鄉的時候。
他的哥哥、嫂嫂、弟弟、妹妹還有其他的家人全部都鄙視他。
因為這些家人他們這幾年留在故鄉做生意，已經賺了不少錢。
這些家人便嘲笑(蘇秦)，他們對(蘇秦)說，你追求的這些知識是沒有價值的，因為你是如此的貧窮。
蘇秦聽了這些話後內心十分憤怒。
但他內心清楚的知道，
只有自己取得金錢或是權力方面的成功，他才能夠證明自已的選擇是正確的。
於是他就忍受著家人的嘲笑，
他再次認真讀了一年書，
他深入的研究如何把自己的知識運用在現實社會中。
蘇秦第二次離開自己的家鄉。
這一次他成功運用了自已的洞察，與清晰的邏輯去說服了六個王國的國王。
他組織六個王國組成同盟並且一起對抗當時最強大的秦王國。
這六個王國同時聘請他擔任這項偉大計畫的執行者。
蘇秦第二次回到故鄉，
這次他的哥哥、嫂嫂、弟弟、妹妹還有其他的家人看到他的時候，態度跟幾年前完全不一樣。
他們的態度變成恭敬有禮貌。他們甚至連頭都不敢抬起來。
蘇秦看到這情況就問自已的家人，為什麼你們的態度跟之前完全不一樣了。
家人回答說。因為你現在有很有權力，而且很有錢。
蘇秦聽到這回答後，他就對自已說。每個人都是勢利的，我的家人就跟大多數人都相同啊，這是人性。所以我應該原諒他們。
我甚至應該感謝他們，若不是他們當時的嘲笑激勵了我，我怎會有今天的成就呢。
這句成語被用來形容一個人對待別人的態度，從先前的鄙視變成現在的恭敬。。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你比較看重知識的價值還是比較看重錢財的價值呢?你會如何面對曾經嘲笑你的人呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
