Ancient times: During the Warring States Period, a man named Bai Gui talked to Mencius about this matter. He boasted, "If I were allowed to control water, I would certainly do better than Yu. Wouldn't it be much easier if I dredged the river and let the flood flow to neighboring countries? Mencius said to him rudely, "You are wrong! If neighboring countries are used as catchment areas, floods will flow back and cause even greater disasters. People with kindness don't do this. 」
Modern turning point:
This is a true story that happened in a country in Africa. The white government in that family implements the policy of "apartheid" and does not allow dark-skinned people to enter public places reserved for white people. White people don't like to associate with blacks and think they are inferior races, so they are afraid to avoid them.
One day, a foreign girl with long hair sunbathed on the beach. She fell asleep because of fatigue. When she woke up, the sun had gone down.
At this time, she felt hungry and walked into a restaurant near the beach.
She pushed the door in and chose a chair by the window to sit down. She sat for about 15 minutes. There is no waiter to serve her. She looked at the waiters who were busy waiting for customers who came later than her, but she didn't notice her. She was suddenly filled with anger. I want to ask the waiter.
When she stood up to go forward, a big mirror appeared in front of her eyes. She looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly began to cry.
It turned out that she was tanned by the sun.
Only then did she truly realize the taste of black people being discriminated against by white people!
Ignite thinking
No matter what we do, we should put ourselves in others' shoes. As Confucius said, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." As a conscientious salesman, you should have business ethics, and don't push products that customers don't need or have poor quality to him in order to earn more profits. Imagine how you would feel if you were treated like this.
