How to understand the word "wisdom"? How can we have wisdom?
First, how to understand the wisdom of Liu Bang's confrontation with Xiang Yu's two armies? Xiang Yu leaped across the gun and challenged Liu Bang: "After years of fighting, the world is uneasy, but you and I are at loggerheads. Why bother people all over the world? Why don't you and I compare ourselves today and decide the outcome? " Liu bang replied: "I would rather fight for wisdom than strength." In the end, the witty Liu Bang won the world. "In strategic planning, winning thousands of miles away" is the power of wisdom. The Bible also says, "Gold and silver can provide security, but not as good as the belly." For thousands of years, Zhuge Liang was resourceful and unpredictable, and was regarded as "the embodiment of wisdom". It can really be said that "one strategy turns the corner, and a thousand troops retreat in one word." Wisdom is the source of infinite energy. Whether it is to pacify the world and govern the country or to manage marketing ... the key to success in all aspects of human society and daily life lies in wisdom. Wisdom is better than gold. Almost all children in Jewish families have to answer such a puzzle: "If your house is burned down one day, what will you run away with?" If the child answers money or diamonds, the mother will further ask, "There is a kind of baby that has no shape, color or smell. Do you know what it is? " If the child can't answer, the mother will say, "Son, what you want to take away is not money or diamonds, but wisdom." Because no one can take wisdom away, as long as you live, wisdom will always follow you. "Wisdom seems mysterious, seems to be divorced from reality. In fact, true wisdom does not mean to be detached from the secular, but to find creative solutions to problems. The dictionary defines wisdom as: "Wisdom refers to the ability to understand and solve things quickly, flexibly and correctly. "It can be seen that wisdom is the practical basis of people's lives. Without the wisdom of modern people, it is impossible to survive in modern society. Wisdom is infinite. Everyone longs for wisdom, approaches it and draws on it. Especially today, in the era of globalization and fierce competition, neither individuals nor groups can survive and develop without sufficient wisdom, nor can they succeed in the competition, let alone win. Second, how to acquire wisdom. So, how can we get wisdom? How can I become a man of great wisdom? Some people think that wisdom comes from nature. For example, Zhuge Liang, the embodiment of wisdom, is called a genius. Even my Chinese teacher when I was a child said that Zhuge Liang was a semi-immortal, and I believed him. In fact, talent is not all. At the age of 27, Zhuge Liang had amazing foresight, which made him famous all because he had studied for many years before leaving the mountain, and he had a good accomplishment in military, political, economic and social aspects, and even owned "invention patents" such as eight arrays, crossbows, steamed bread, Kongming lanterns and wooden cows. Visible, the day after tomorrow's study and research is also indispensable! However, is knowledge wisdom? Things don't seem that simple. Heraclitus, an ancient Greek philosopher, said: erudition does not make a man wise. A lot of knowledge is profound, a walking dictionary, not necessarily wisdom. People who are proficient in Chinese and western cultures and ancient and modern literature are knowledgeable, but not necessarily wise. Because he may repeat people's thoughts thousands of times, but he is not good at thinking, exploring and inventing. Knowledge is human's understanding and mastery of limited knowledge, and wisdom is an enlightenment, an understanding and inference of infinity and eternity. Knowledge is limited, even the learned knowledge will be eclipsed in the face of infinity. Wisdom is creative, it is not trapped by limitations, but full of vitality in the face of infinity. Therefore, knowledge is not necessarily wisdom, but wisdom must be knowledge, and knowledge must be transformed into wisdom to show its true value! " Knowledge "is dead, and" wisdom "is alive; People who can use knowledge flexibly will be wise, and those who are wise but don't know how to keep learning new knowledge will become smart people. Finally, the most important element of wisdom is practice. The wisdom of mankind is summarized, refined and passed down to this day in the long historical process. As the saying goes, "practice makes true knowledge", without practice, human wisdom will be impossible. Why do you say, "Young people don't read the Water Margin, and old people don't read the Three Kingdoms"? That's because the old man practices a lot and is already a thoughtful man. If he watches the Three Kingdoms again, he will become a "child prodigy". Based on the above analysis, we can see that the three core elements that determine wisdom are talent, knowledge and insight. I call it "three senses". Talent is a person's thinking talent, that is, thinking ability; Knowledge is the experience and wisdom of predecessors; Knowledge is the knowledge and experience of life, from which wisdom can be realized. In other words, wisdom is the ability to deeply understand, recognize, judge and solve things through acquired knowledge learning and experience accumulation on the basis of one's own talent. Thus, if you want to gain wisdom, you only need to start from these three aspects. 1) Exercise your thinking ability, think more and use your brain when things happen, give priority to rational thinking and careful analysis before choosing and making decisions, supplemented by personal courage, so that you can solve specific problems decisively and firmly; 2) read more books and learn more, especially those fables or historical stories full of wisdom (reading history can be wise), and strive to learn from the experience and wisdom of predecessors; 3) broaden one's horizons, increase one's knowledge, and realize constantly in practice. In this way, it is not difficult to gain wisdom. The difficult thing is how to achieve the above three points. This is my thinking and understanding of wisdom for many years. I wrote it down and shared it with my friends. Looking forward to interactive communication.
