[Original article] Cleverness is the downfall of life

? The essence of those smart people is that most of them are not good at practicing kung fu, and their basic skills are not so solid. They are like Pang Juan in ancient times who was eager to become famous. Brother Sun Bin was always afraid and jealous, fearing that he would have the upper hand. On the surface, he showed great brotherhood, but secretly he intensified the persecution. Pang Juan's final outcome was that he was shot to death by random arrows, thus becoming a warning example for people all over the world.

? People with a little cleverness can often cope with small fights, but when they have to take on important responsibilities and take charge of the overall situation, they will appear to be incompetent. That is when their fox tail is revealed. Cleverness can only be regarded as a shameful trick. People who are accustomed to using it will bring doubts on their own integrity, which means people are most easily misled by cleverness.

? In fact, each of us has a little bit of cleverness. In other people's words, this person is more tactful. Sometimes, for our own selfish interests, each of us will always use clever tricks to get through. People who have been fooled by clever tricks will have an instinctive defensive psychology towards those who try to trick others. Therefore, smart people will cause themselves a lot of trouble in the process of cooperating with others. Cleverness can do a lot of harm to people. If we really want to do something good, we can't act with cleverness. Each of us might as well remove the veil of hypocrisy, look down on the small interests in front of us, try not to be clever, and give people a good impression of being down-to-earth and reliable, so as to achieve greater greatness of our own.

? Especially for those who have achieved something, the losses caused by their cleverness are irreparable. Due to the influence of their own popularity, others have noticed their cleverness, but there is nothing they can do. Only a mute can eat Coptis chinensis. As a result, he may become even more complacent, thinking that his skill is so good that he will succeed every time. In the end, it may lead to personality distortion and even moral decay. Prime Minister Heshen of the Qing Dynasty is a typical example. He spent his life crazily amassing money and using clever mechanisms, causing harm to the country and the people. In the end, his life was ended by a piece of silk.

? Now we are in a society full of competition. What we need most is great wisdom, not tricks that people are ashamed of. Great wisdom is the most precious wealth in life. If we want to dominate the world with great wisdom, we should take integrity as the guide and care more about helping others instead of adding insult to injury or turning a blind eye to other people's shortcomings and sufferings.

As the saying goes: Bystanders know better, but those in authority are confused. As a down-to-earth person, it is best not to be clever. You may get lucky many times. This passing does not mean that you are discovered. Others may not be able to expose it due to face or other reasons. But he may have concerns about your impression and character in the future, and the integrity of his cooperation with you will be greatly compromised.

Mr. Lu Xun said: "There are tricks to making trouble, and it is effective, but it is limited." Throughout the ages, little clever people have left endless stories to people, and people either expressed regret or scorned them. In short, people have only one attitude towards such people: be wary and avoid them. Only those with great wisdom are regarded as role models by future generations and become the objects that everyone strives to learn from and imitate.

? If a little smart person is used to using his little cleverness, then he will never become big, and even if he has a temporary performance by chance, he will eventually lose it; if a little smart person switches to using great wisdom, he will never become big. There is a bright direction and future, and one day we will become bigger and stronger.

? If people in high positions use small cleverness, they will harm the world, even subvert the country, and eventually destroy themselves; while using great wisdom, they will benefit the common people and benefit future generations.
