Kingdom of Chu, who led the Kingdom of Chu from a weak to a strong one.
After I read his story, I was very touched.
He answered.
The name of the king you mentioned is
called (Bear Brigade), right? What story of him touched you a lot?
Said the general.
That's right, I'm talking about this king.
I retell this story to you.

of points. None of the ministers could answer his questions, and none of the ministers
could refute his views.

Why do you look worried?
He answered.
I think there are a lot of very smart
people in this world, and there are also a lot of people with strong work
ability. If a mediocre leader can be supported by many smart people and people
with strong work ability, then this mediocre leader will still be Great things
can be accomplished.
I think I am a mediocre person, but in
today's meeting, all the ministers behaved even more mediocre than me.
I am very worried, I am very worried that I
will lead our kingdom to decline.

他是中國的戰國時代魏王國的第二任國王，他在位的時間總共25年，他帶領魏王國變得愈來愈強盛。
歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
有一天，他與王國中的大臣們一起開國事會議。
他提出了許多的問題，他提出了許多觀點。所有大臣都無法回答他的提問，所有大臣都沒有辦法反駁他的觀點。
他很開心，他臉上的表情顯示出他的驕傲，他認為自己比所有的人都聰明。
當天中午的午宴中，魏王國中有一個著名的將軍對他說。
我最近在看一本歷史書，這本歷史書中寫著楚王國的歷史上曾經有一位偉大的國王，這個國王帶領著楚王國從弱小變成強大。
我看了他的故事後，我很有感觸。
他回答。
你說的這個國王的名字叫做(熊旅)對嗎?他的甚麼故事讓你很有感觸呢?
這位將軍說。
沒有錯，我說的就是這個國王。
我轉述這個故事給你聽。
有一天，他與王國中的大臣們一起開國事會議。
他提出了許多的問題，他提出了許多觀點。所有的大臣們都無法回答他的提問，所有大臣都沒有辦法反駁他的觀點。
這場會議結束後，他很憂慮，他看起來很不快樂。
有一個大臣就問這個他。
你為何看起來很憂慮呢?
他回答。
我認為這個世界上有很多很聰明的人，也有很多工作能力很強的人，如果一個平庸的領導者能夠有很多聰明的人與工作能力很強的人輔助他，那麼這個平庸的領導者仍舊可以成就偉大的事業。
我認為我是一個平庸的人，但是今天開會的時候，所有的大臣都表現的比我還要平庸。
我非常的憂心，我很擔心我會帶領我們王國走向衰敗。
這個將軍說完這個故事後，很安靜地看著國王。
國王沉默幾分鐘後對這個將軍說。
謝謝你告訴我這個故事，謝謝你提醒我，讓我看見我自已的自滿與驕傲。
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。
你會覺得你比所有人都聰明嗎?你是否曾經看見過自已的驕傲與自滿呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
