A little clumsy, life will be safer and smoother

A little clumsy, life will be safer and smoother

If a person is not smart, slow to move, and has a slow reaction, he will be ridiculed as clumsy. But some people deliberately show that they are clumsy, so the old people call themselves clumsy, and the great monks call themselves clumsy monks, and they are content with clumsy and humble. In fact, clumsiness is a kind of wisdom that cannot be revealed.

1. Being wise and foolish is clumsy: Some people understand the philosophy of life well, and they cannot force themselves when they know that they should not stand out, and do not show their sharpness when they should not show their sharpness. He always acts stupid, but in fact he is cold-eyed and analyzes the changes in the situation. When necessary, he can always wake up the dreamer in one word.

2. It is a rare confusion: Mr. Zheng Banqiao was an official throughout his life and had his own experience. He once sold thirty taels of silver to a rich gentry with the words "It is rare to be confused". In fact, it is rare to be confused and worth thirty taels of silver. If you can understand the wonderful words, you can say that you will benefit endlessly throughout your life.

3. Pretending to be deaf and being dumb is clumsy: Once, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng gathered the public and said: I have something, without a head or a tail, without a name or a word, without a back or a face, can you still recognize it? Zen Master Shenhui immediately stood up and replied: I know this, it is the origin of all Buddhas and the Buddha nature of Shenhui. After hearing this, the Sixth Patriarch scolded him: I told you that there is no name and no words. You insist on calling it the origin and Buddha nature. Even if you have a future prospect, you will be a wise apostle, and you will be just an intellectual! Therefore, sometimes pretending to be deaf and dumb is a higher wisdom than language.

4. Retreat as advance is a clumsy: Some people have the current interests, but they can clearly seize it, but they give up; they can obviously advance but they retreat. Some people think that he is too stupid to give up opportunities and achievements. In fact, he knows that progress is not as good as regression, so he is not stupid at all.

5. The dazed and wooden chicken is clumsy: There is a cockfighting master named Ji Shengzi, who is famous for training cockfighting. He accepted the entrusted by King Xuan of Zhou to train an extremely brave cockfighting. Tens of days later, King Xuan urged him to ask about the result, and Ji replied: It's not OK. This chicken is crazy and arrogant by nature and can only bluff. In fact, when encountering a strong man, it is vulnerable! King Xuan waited for many days and asked again what to do? Ji replied: It still doesn't work. This chicken is not calm enough. When he hears other chickens crowing, he will be impulsive. It's not the style of a general!

After a few more days, King Xuan urged him again, and Ji replied: King! It is still not possible now. Once this chicken approaches other chickens, it will be energetic and heroic. Such courage is not the best cockfighting. Finally, King Xuan was disappointed and stopped asking questions. One day, Ji Shengzi took the initiative to report to King Xuan of Zhou: King! The task has been completed. Now this chicken hears other chickens crowing and seems to be silent; when he sees other chickens jumping, he seems to be invisible. He is like a wooden chicken, calm and relaxed, and is already omnipotent and virtuous. Whenever other cockfightings see it, they will flee in panic and win without fighting. This is the real cockfighting. It can be seen that being as stupid as a wooden chicken is not a clumsy.

Su Dongpo, one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, once lamented: Everyone is adopted by their sons and hopes to be smart, but I am ruined by intelligence for the rest of my life. It can be seen that life is relatively safe and smooth.
