A leader should pay attention to his behavior(鄒纓齊紫)
During the Warring States Period in China,
a famous thinker (Han Fei), he wrote a story.
In the Spring and Autumn Period of China,
the king of the Zou Kingdom liked a style of hat very much.
One day, he said to a guard.
Because I like this style of hat, so now
the whole kingdom is very popular to wear this style of hat.
How can I change the status quo.
The guard replied.
You just have to start today, and bring
another style of hat every time you go out. Then you can change the situation.
The king of the Zou Kingdom did so.
A few months later, in Zou Kingdom, the
original hats of that style were no longer popular.
During the Spring and Autumn Period in
China, the kings of the Qi Kingdom liked purple clothes.
One day, he said to the prime minister.
Because I like purple clothes, people in
the whole kingdom are very popular to wear purple clothes.
How can I change the status quo.
The prime minister replied.
You will not wear purple clothes starting
today.
Then if you see someone wearing purple
clothes, you have to tell that person. You hate purple clothes the most.
The king of the Qi Kingdom did what the
prime minister said.
One month later, in Qi Kingdom, no one
likes to wear purple clothes anymore.
This idiom is used to remind us that a
leader should pay attention to his influence on others.
Dear friend, what inspiration or ideas do
you have after hearing this story.
Do you not change yourself but only want to
change other people? How do you avoid having a bad influence on others?
I hope this story will give you a little
bit of gain.

鄒纓齊紫(A leader should pay attention to his
behavior)
中國的戰國時代，著名的思想家(韓非)，他寫了一個故事。
中國的春秋時代，鄒王國的國王很喜歡一種款式的帽子。
有一天，他對一個侍衛說。
因為我喜歡這一種風格的帽子，所以現在整個王國非常流行帶這一款風格的帽子。
我該如何改變現狀。
侍衛回答。
你只要從今天開始，每次出門的時候，帶另一個風格的帽子。這樣你就能改變這情況了。
鄒王國的國王便如此去做。
幾個月後，在鄒王國中，原本那種風格的帽子不再流行。
中國的春秋時代，齊王國的國王很喜歡紫色的衣服。
有一天，他對宰相說。
因為我喜歡紫色的衣服，所以現在整個王國的人都非常流行穿紫色的衣服。
我該如何改變現狀。
宰相回答。
你從今天開始就不穿紫色的衣服。
然後你若看見有人穿紫色的衣服，你要對這個人說。你最討厭紫色的衣服。
齊王國的國王便照宰相的話去做。
一個月後，齊王國中，再也沒有人喜歡穿紫色的衣服了。
這句成語被用來提醒我們，一個領導者要留意他對其他人的影響。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或是想法呢。
你是否不改變自已而只想要改變其他人呢?你如何避免自己對他人產生不好的影響呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一點收穫。
