The smartest person cannot always be smart,
and the smartest person will be ignorant sometimes. The stupidest person can't
be stupid forever, and the stupidest person will be smart sometimes. (智者千慮必有一失，愚者千慮必有一得)
The name of the founding king of the Han
Dynasty in Chinese history was (Liu Bang). And the name of the most important
general who assisted him in founding the Han Dynasty was (Han Xin).
The story of (Han Xin)'s life is very
wonderful, and one of his stories is recorded in history.
He was the commander-in-chief of the Han
Kingdom's army.
In 205 BC, he led the army of Han Kingdom
to attack Zhao Kingdom.
Because the generals of the Zhao Kingdom
did not adopt the advice of the Zhao Kingdom's military staff, although the
number of soldiers of the Zhao Kingdom was far greater than that of the Han
Kingdom, they were still defeated by the Han Dynasty.
The name of the military staff officer of
the Kingdom of Zhao is (Li Zuojun), and the name of (Li Zuojun)'s grandfather
is (Li Mu). (Li Mu) was a very great general in the Warring States Period.
After the first battle, he did something
that surprised everyone.
He released (Li Zuojun), and he asked (Li Zuojun) for help with a respectful attitude.
He asked Li Zuojun a question. He said.
I have defeated the Kingdom of Zhao, and my next goal is to attack and defeat the Kingdom of Yan and the Kingdom of Qi.
What can I do to achieve my goals in the smartest way?
Because his attitude is very sincere, so
(Li Zuojun) replied.
I have heard two proverbs,
The meaning of the first proverb is that
the smartest person cannot always be smart, and the smartest person will also
be stupid sometimes.
The stupidest person can't be stupid
forever, and the stupidest person will be smart sometimes.
The second proverb means that when we hear
a proud and arrogant person say big things, we don't have to deny everything he
said. A wise man can select words of wisdom from these words and allow himself
to be inspired.
I am an ignorant person, I put forward my
opinion, because I hope Zhao Kingdom can win this battle.
The general of Kingdom Zhao was a smart
man, he thought his idea was right, but it turned out that his decision-making
led to the defeat of Kingdom Zhao in this battle, and he himself died in this
battle.
Since you are very polite to me and ask for
my opinion, then I will put forward my point of view to share with you.
You have won three battles in a row, and in
this battle with the Kingdom of Zhao, you have even defeated the army of the
Kingdom of Zhao, which has far more soldiers than you.
I believe that the whole of China already
knows you, and the kings and nobles of all countries are afraid of you.
You lead your army to fight everywhere, and
if your army passes through any village, the people of that village will put
down their farm tools and stop working, because these farmers think you will
bring war and death.
I think your current image is your greatest advantage.
This idiom means that the smartest person
cannot always be smart, and the smartest person will also be ignorant
sometimes.
The stupidest person can't be stupid forever,
and the stupidest person will be smart sometimes.
Dear friend, what are your feelings or
thoughts after hearing this story?
Do you think you are smarter or dumber than
others? When you have a conversation with an arrogant person, do you deny
everything he says?
I hope this story can give you some new
harvest.
智者千慮必有一失，愚者千慮必有一得(The smartest person
cannot always be smart, and the smartest person will be ignorant sometimes. The
stupidest person can't be stupid forever, and the stupidest person will be
smart sometimes.)
中國歷史上的漢王朝開國國王的名字叫做(劉邦)。而協助他創建漢王朝的最重要的將軍的名字是(韓信)。
(韓信)一生的故事非常的精采，歷史上記載了一個他的故事。
他是漢王國的軍隊的總指揮官。
西元前205年，他率領漢王國的軍隊攻打趙王國。
因為趙王國的將軍沒有採納趙王國的軍事參謀的建議，所以趙王國的士兵人數雖然遠勝過漢王國的士兵人數但還是被漢王朝打敗。
趙王國的這個軍事參謀的名字叫做(李左車)，(李左車)的祖父的名字叫做(李牧)，(李牧)是戰國時代的一個非常偉大的將軍。
場戰爭結束後，他做了一件令大家都感覺驚奇的舉動。
他釋放了(李左軍)，他用恭敬的態度向(李左軍)請益。
他問李左軍一個問題。他說。
我已經戰勝的趙王國，我下一個目標是要攻打並打敗燕王國與齊王國。
請問我要怎樣做，才能最聰明的達成我的目標呢?
因為他的態度很誠懇，所以(李左軍)回答。
我聽過兩句諺語，
第一句諺語的意思是一個最聰明的人也不可能永遠聰明，這個最聰明的人也會有愚昧的時候。
一個最愚笨的人也不可能永遠愚笨，這個最愚笨的人也會有聰明的時候。
第二句諺語的意思是我們聽到一個驕傲自大的人說大話時，我們不用全部否定這個人所說的話。一個聰明的人可以從這些話中選擇出智慧的話語並讓自已有所啟發。
我是一個愚昧的人，我提出我的看法，因為我希望趙王國可以獲得這場戰役的勝利。
趙王國的將軍是一個聰明的人，他認為他的想法是對的，但事實結果證明他的決策導致趙王國這場戰役大敗，他本人也死於這場戰役之中。
既然你對我非常的有禮貌地請教我的意見，那麼我就提出我的觀點跟你分享。
你已經連續贏得了三場戰役，再與趙王國這一戰，你們更是打敗了士兵人數遠多於你們的趙王國的軍隊。
我相信整個中國都已經知道你這個人，各國的國王與貴族都對你感到恐懼。
你帶領著你的軍隊到處征戰，你帶領的軍隊經過任何一座村莊，這座村莊的百姓們就會放下農具並且停止工作，因為這些農民們認為你將會帶來戰爭與死亡。
我認為你現在的這個形象，是你最大的優勢。
這一句成語的意思是一個最聰明的人也不可能永遠聰明，這個最聰明的人也會有愚昧的時候。
一個最愚笨的人也不可能永遠愚笨，這個最愚笨的人也會有聰明的時候。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的感受或有怎樣的想法呢。
你認為你比別人聰明還是比別人愚眛呢?你與一個傲慢自大的人對話時，你會全部否定他所說的話嗎?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
