About (Ning Qi). There is a story about him
in history books.
(Ning Qi) grew up in the Wei Kingdom.
His family is very poor and he has no
money.
He applied for a job. This job is to assist
merchants to deliver a batch of goods to Qi Kingdom.
After several weeks, they finally arrived
in the Qi Kingdom.
He followed the convoy to camp outside the
castle for the night.
At that time, the king of the Qi Kingdom
reused many talented people, and the Qi Kingdom was strong.
At night, there was a sudden commotion at
the gate of the castle.
It turned out that the king of Qi came out
to greet a distinguished guest.
At that time (Ning Qi) was feeding the cows
to eat pasture. He saw the king being surrounded by a group of guards, passing
in front of him.
He thought to himself, I don't know when I
will have the chance to see the king again.
He felt sad, he sang a song he had written
while gently tapping the cow.
The lyrics of this song are saying that I
hope I can have the opportunity to show my talents.
The king heard this song he sang.
The king ordered a guard to find him and
take him back to the palace.
The next day, the king summoned (Ning Qi).
After the king talked with him, he found
that his knowledge was excellent, and he was indeed a talented person.
The king was very happy and prepared to
appoint him to an important position in the kingdom.
But at this time some ministers told the
king.
My king, we should first investigate this
person's background before deciding whether to reuse him.
The king answered with a smile.
I think there is no need to investigate.
After I talked with him, I think he is a
capable person, and I think no one is perfect.
Even if the investigation proves that he
has some shortcomings, I think his advantages will be far higher than his
shortcomings.
I think many of his views will be of great
help to our kingdom. Even if he has some shortcomings, it will not affect my
decision to reuse him.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Do you agree with the king's decision? Will
you ignore a person's more advantages because of some of his shortcomings?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.

他是一位傑出的政治家。他寫過一本書是中國最早專論畜牧的書。
關於(寧戚)。歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
(寧戚)出生在衛王國，當時齊王國的國王任用了很多賢人，齊王國的國力強盛。
(寧戚)便想到齊王國去尋求發展。
他家境很貧窮所以他沒有旅費，他便應徵了一個工作。這個工作就是隨著商旅一起把一些貨物運送到齊王國。
經過好幾個禮拜，他跟隨的車隊終於抵達了齊王國。
他跟著車隊在城堡外面紮營過夜。
當天剛入夜，突然成門口那邊一陣騷動。
原來是齊國的國王出來迎接賓客。
當時(寧戚)正在餵牛吃草。他遠遠的看見了國王，國王的身邊有著許多的侍衛，每個侍衛都舉著火把。
他當時心裡很感傷，他想我不知道什麼時候才有機會可以見到國王。
我不知道甚麼時候才可以一展抱負。
他想著想著，就拍打著牛角，吟唱起歌來。
國王剛迎接到賓客準備返回城堡，他聽見了(甯戚)的歌。
國王覺得很好奇，這個人應該不是普通人，他或許有特殊的才能。
國王便命令一個侍衛去看是誰在唱歌，並且吩咐這個侍衛把這個人先帶回皇宮。
第二天，國王召見(寧戚)，國王與他對談之後，發現他的很多想法都很棒，都很有利於整個王國的農業發展與畜牧業發展。
國王非常高興，就準備任命他擔任王國內重要的職務。
但這時候有幾個大臣對國王說。
我的國王啊，我們應該先調查清楚這個人的背景，再決定是否重用他。
國王就笑著回答。
不用去問了。
我跟他對談後我認為他是一個有能力的人，我認為沒有人是完美的。
就算調查後證明他有一些缺點，但我認為他的一定會遠遠高過他的缺點。
我認為他的很多看法對我們王國會有很大的幫助。就算他有一些缺點部會影響我要重用他的這個決定。
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。
你認同國王的看法嗎?你認為一個好的領導者必須站在呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
