Zhuangzi said: "Dogs don't take good barking as good, and people don't take good words as good." I quite agree with this view. As the saying goes, "Advice is most unpleasant to the ear"! Since ancient times, which emperor doesn't like flattery, and which official doesn't give up his dignity for a little profit? Let's say that he likes to listen to flattery, so in front of him, Xiao Shenyang put down his dignity, pretended not to know anything, and said something nice to praise the emperor, so the emperor paid special attention to him. On the contrary, Ji Xiaolan showed his outstanding talent and loyalty, but he never won the trust of the emperor. It is Ji Xiaolan who really cares for the people, but the kind-hearted little Shenyang has joined hands with his officials to collect the essence of the people. It can be seen that a good talker is not a sage. And now the society is not such a flattering and good at saying good things? Chen Shui-bian, a member of Taiwan independence, became the leader of Taiwan Province Province at the beginning of his life, and disliked the Youth Daily, which once denounced non-party movements. However, because the newspaper later approached Chen Shui-bian on its own initiative, it reported some good things about A-bian. In the end, he was favored by Chen Shui-bian, and the president was promoted because of flattery. Is it a good thing to do such an act with only interests in mind? I remember, I once read such a fable and was deeply impressed. A bird built a very hidden nest in the bush and thought it was safe. When other birds can't stand the wind and rain and move away, it still doesn't move its nest, so it gets the envious eyes of other birds. It's happy. Someone once praised it under the tree, saying that it was outside the cloud nine, so it flew out of its nest. Bang, it died in the hands of the strangler. Before he died, the bird was very sorry: why didn't I see the real purpose of these people's flattery! Yes, it doesn't hurt to listen to flattery once in a while, but it would be great to develop a hobby. Someone once said, "Many people who kiss your hand may be the ones who want to cut off your hand." Therefore, when we associate with people, we should learn to listen and distinguish between true goodness and false goodness.

Please accept it, thank you!
