An old saying from an old man that will benefit you for a lifetime

An old saying that will benefit you throughout your life:

1. If you want something good, ask the three elders.

Sanlao does not refer to three old people, but to one old man. Sanlao is the earliest position title for a township official in ancient times. Later, people also called prestigious and wise old people "Sanlao". If you want to do things well, you must learn to ask experienced elders for advice. This sentence expresses the relationship between "good" and "asking".

2. Pretending to understand if you don’t understand will only make you a loser forever.

People who don’t understand and pretend to understand often make a lot of jokes. When you encounter problems, in addition to thinking for yourself, you must also know how to ask others humbly for advice. You must know that there are specializations in the arts. Everyone is only an expert in the field they are familiar with. When it comes to other fields, they are often helpless.

3. If you are fooled the first time, you will be enlightened the second time.

The first time you suffered a loss, it may be because you were young and lacked experience. You will not be fooled by the same thing the second time, and you will already be on guard.

4. Cleverness comes from hunger, and wisdom comes from poverty.

This sentence describes that when people are forced to have no way out, they will use their brains to find ways to solve the problems at hand. When we are trapped by the environment and face adversity, we will be forced to keep trying and think of new ways to solve problems.

5. If you don’t experience the cold of winter, you won’t know the warmth of spring.

When a moth breaks out of its cocoon, it must go through this painful struggle so that its wings can be strong and strong. If these painful exercises were omitted, its wings would never be able to fly.
