He is determined and decisive(強毅果敢)
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period
in China, the most powerful family in the Jin Kingdom was the Zhi family.
The name of the person who controls all the
power of the Zhi family is (Zhishen), and his story is recorded in the history
books.
He is middle-aged and wants to choose one
of his sons as his successor.
He has two sons, one named (Zhiyao) and the
other named (Zhixiao).
He discussed the matter with his brother,
and his brother said to him
Zhiyao is a very good man, I think he has
five advantages.
He is tall and handsome, he is good at
riding and archery, his hands are very dexterous and he knows many handicrafts,
his writing and eloquence are good, he is firm and decisive.
He nodded in agreement with his brother.
You are right, I personally like Zhiyao
better, so I want him to be my successor.
After his younger brother heard his words,
his face showed a worried expression, and his younger brother said to him.
Zhiyao has many advantages, but he has one
very serious shortcoming, so I think you should make (Zhixiao) your successor.
He asked his brother confusedly, "What
is this shortcoming you are talking about?
his brother replied.
Zhiyao's personality is very unfriendly. He
is very proud and thinks he is better than others.
If a person has something he wants, he will
use his power to oppress that person in order to get what he wants.
That character flaw is too serious. I think
if you make him your successor, he will definitely cause great harm to our
family in the future.
After hearing his brother's words, he
laughed.
He said to his younger brother, "I
think your worries are unnecessary, because (Zhiyao) is better than (Zhixiao)
in all respects, so I will still make (Zhiyao) my successor.
The meaning of this idiom is to describe a
person who is firm and determined.
What inspirations or thoughts did you have
after listening to this story?
If you valued it, who would you choose as
your successor? Which do you think is more important, work ability or moral
character?
I hope this story can help you gain
something.
強毅果敢(He is determined and decisive)
中國的春秋時代末期，晉王國裡面擁有最強大力量的家族是智家族。
掌控智家族的所有權力的人的名字叫做(智申)，歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他的年紀已經中年了，他要從他的兒子中選擇一個人成為他的接班人。
他有兩個兒子，一個名字叫做(智瑤)，另一個兒子的名字叫做(智宵)。
他比較喜歡(智瑤)。
他與他的弟弟討論這件事情，他的弟弟對他說。
智瑤是一個非常棒的人，我認為他有五項優點。
他的個子很高大而且他長得很英俊，他擅長騎馬與射箭，他的雙手很靈巧他會很多手工藝，他的文筆與口才都很好，他又堅定又很有決斷力。
他點點頭表示認同他弟弟的看法，他對他的弟弟說。
你說的是對的，我個人也比較喜歡智瑤，所以我想要讓他成為我的接班人。
他的弟弟聽到他說的這句話後，他的弟弟的臉上顯露出憂愁的表情，他的弟弟對他說。
智瑤的確有很多的優點，但是他有一個非常嚴重的缺點，所以我認為你應該讓(智宵)成為你的接班人。
他很疑惑地問他弟弟，你說的這個缺點是什麼呢?
他的弟弟回答。
智瑤的個性非常的不仁慈，他認為自己是最棒的，他想要得到的東西他就一定要得到。
如果有一個人的手中有他想要的東西，他為了得到他想要的東西，他會用自己的權力去壓迫這一個人。
這個性格上的缺點太嚴重了，我認為如果你讓他成為你的接班人，那麼他將來一定會為我們的家族帶來極大的禍害。
他聽完他的弟弟的話後，他大笑。
他對他的弟弟說，我認為你的憂慮是多餘的，因為(智瑤)在各項能力上都勝過(智宵)，所以我還是會讓(智瑤)成為我的接班人。
這句成語的意思被用來形容一個人又堅定又有決斷力。
聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或是想法呢。
你如果視他，你會選擇誰成為你的接班人呢?你認為工作能力與品德兩者比較何者比較重要呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一點收穫。
