How to cultivate your own measurement? Measurement is not innate, but lies in people's virtue and knowledge. Some people say that humor is a sign of erudition, and I say that measurement is also a sign of erudition. Only talent and knowledge can be measured, and morality and knowledge can be acquired through continuous study and practice.

So, how do we create a broad measure? As the ancients said, tolerance is great, and no desire is just. Only by "tolerance" and "no desire, no desire", smiling at all rivers and standing upright like a mountain, can we exercise a broad measure and have a selfless heart. What needs to be explained is that generosity does not mean that you don't distinguish right from wrong, turn a blind eye to things, be insensitive and don't talk about principles. Hugo, a famous French poet, believes that the ocean is the widest in the world, the sky is wider than the ocean, and the human mind is wider than the sky. Let's work out this measure together.

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, Zhang, a native of Tongcheng, went to Wenhua Hall as a university student and a minister of rites. The neighbor is another big family in Tongcheng, and the owner is Ye Shilang of the same dynasty. There was a dispute between the two families because of the courtyard wall. Mrs Zhang wrote a book for Zhang Ying. When brinton saw this letter, she was deeply worried and replied to the old lady:

"A letter thousands of miles away, just to block the wall, why not? The Great Wall of Wan Li is still there today, and Qin Shihuang is not seen. "

So Mrs. Zhang told her family to stand back three feet and build a wall. Ye Fu was so moved that he ordered his family to move the courtyard wall back three feet. Since then, the governments of Zhang and Ye have eliminated barriers and deepened their friendship.

On the eve of Lincoln's presidential campaign, he was humiliated by a senator when he spoke in the Senate. The senator said, "Mr. Lincoln, before you begin your speech, I want you to remember that you are the son of a shoemaker." "I thank you very much for reminding me of my father. He's dead. I will certainly remember your advice. I know I can't be president and shoemaker like my father. " The Senate fell silent.

He turned to the arrogant congressman and said, "As far as I know, my father once made shoes for your family. If your shoes don't fit, I can help you correct them. Although I am not a great shoemaker, I have learned the skills of shoemaking from my father since I was a child. " Then he said to all senators, "It's the same for anyone in the Senate. If the shoes you are wearing are made by my father and need to be repaired or improved, I will try my best to help. " But one thing is certain, his craftsmanship is unparalleled. He will always be the greatest father! "Speaking of which, the meeting broke into sincere applause. Some people criticized President Lincoln's attitude towards his political opponents: "You should try to attack them and destroy them. Why did you turn them into friends? "President Lincoln said gently." Aren't we destroying political opponents? When we become friends, political enemies do not exist. "This is how President Lincoln destroyed his political opponents and turned them into friends. He was elected president of the United States twice.
