A reckless person(暴虎馮河)

 

A reckless person(暴虎馮河)

 

In the famous book (The Analects of Confucius), a story is recorded.

 

Confucius was in a conversation with one of his students whose name was (Zilu).

 

(Zilu) asked.

If you were an army general, what kind of abilities would you want your soldiers to have.

Do you want each of your soldiers to have very good physical strength and fighting skills?

 

Confucius said.

What you said is indeed very important, but I don’t think these are the most important.

 

(Zilu) asked.

What ability do you think is more important?

 

Confucius said.

 

Confucius replied.

Suppose there is a person who is very brave.

He can fight tigers, he can swim across a big river.

But if this person never reflects on whether what he has done is correct, I will not let him join my team.

 

Confucius then replied.

I would hope that my team members, whether they face any big or small things, can maintain a state of awe and do these things very carefully.

 

I hope that my team members will first think about why this is going to be done and what results are to be achieved. Then go all out to accomplish the goal.

 

(Zilu) nodded and said.

Thank you teacher for sharing.

 

This idiom is used to describe a person who is brave but reckless.

 

Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts did you have after hearing this story.

Have you thought about the ultimate goal of your life? Do you do everything in awe.

I hope this story will give you some new gains

暴虎馮河(A reckless person)

 

著名的(孔夫子論語)這一本書中,記載了一個故事。

 

孔子與他的一個學生在對談,這個學生的名字叫做(子路)

 

(子路)問。

如果你是一個軍隊的將領,你會希望你的士兵們有怎樣的能力呢。

你是否會希望你的士兵們每個人的體力與戰鬥技巧都要非常好呢。

 

孔子說。

你說的這些的確很重要,但我認為這些不是最重要的。

 

(子路)問。

請問你認為有什麼能力更重要呢。

 

孔子說。

 

孔子回答。

假設有一個人他非常勇敢。

他能夠跟老虎搏鬥,他可以游過一條大河。

可是如果這個人他從來不會反省自已做的事情是否正確的話,我就不會讓他加入我的團隊。

 

孔子接著回答。

我會希望我的團隊成員,他不論在面對任何大事或是小事時,都能夠保持敬畏的心態,很慎重地去做這些事情。

 

我希望我的團隊成員,先思考為何要做這件事情與要達成怎樣的結果。然後全力以赴去完成目標。

 

這句成語被用來形容一個人勇敢但是魯莽。

 

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。

你有思考過你人生的終極目標嗎?你用保持敬畏的心去做每一件事情嗎。

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫
