One, who is the hero?

Speaking of heroes, anyone who has read Romance of the Three Kingdoms will immediately think of the story of Cao Cao and Liu Bei cooking plums on heroes. Liu Beichen belongs to Cao Cao. One day, Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to a banquet to comment on the heroes of the world. Liu Bei named the princes who were armed to the teeth and dominated the world, calling them heroes. But they were all sneered at by Cao Cao. Cao Cao listed the weaknesses of these people and thought that they were not real heroes. The only heroes in the world are Cao Cao himself, and Liu Bei, who was born in cloth and is now a sponsor. Hearing this, Liu Bei dropped the cup. At this time, there was a huge thunder in the sky, and Liu Bei took the opportunity to hide, saying that he was afraid of thunder and dropped the cup. Cao Cao despised Liu Bei and finally let Liu Bei find a way out, and then divided the world into three parts.

This Cao Cao's eyes are really interested. Many great heroes in the world are disdainful in his eyes. But it happened that Liu Bei's achievements in the future were limitless. He's right. He talked to Liu Bei about heroes just to test his point of view. Liu Bei is known as a hero. Instead of being unhappy, he was shocked. Because he knew that Cao Cao was jealous of talent and was bound to get rid of him, he deliberately showed weakness. Is it Cao Cao's negligence that Cao Cao was cheated? Or is Liu Bei's life doomed?

Start with this story, because it leads to the theme of this article: What kind of person is a hero? After studying heroes, I hope to find out the law: how to become a hero.

The ancients said that beauty loves heroes. Actually, who doesn't worship heroes? Who does not admire heroes? Who doesn't want to be a hero? But what kind of people are heroes?

Since ancient times, there has been no unified definition of hero. Times have changed, and there are many differences between the heroes said by the ancients and the heroes said by today. For example, in today's society, a soldier blew up several enemy tanks and immediately became a hero. A cleaner swept the ground for decades, and suddenly one day he was found to have done something good and became a hero. In modern society, the concept of hero is relatively broad. Here, we are going to discuss the concept of ancient heroes from a historical perspective.

The hero to be discussed in this paper is the hero with lofty aspirations mentioned by Cao Cao. "Heroes have ambition, good ideas in their bellies, the opportunity to hide the universe, and the ambition to call the wind and rain." Only those who can respond with one voice, win the admiration of the whole people, return to the heart of the world, rule the country with art, rule the country with martial arts, play the role of hero when the country needs it, and make contributions can be called heroes.

Second, when do you become a hero?

Since we want to bring peace and stability to our country, we must have a country where heroes come and a country where heroes decide. If it is a peaceful and prosperous time, heroes will also kill their spirits. Horses unload their saddles, knives are put into storage, and they can't afford to smoke on the frontier, singing and dancing everywhere. Peace corrupts one's ambition. Therefore, China famously said, "Heroes come from troubled times". In other words, heroes only appear in troubled times.

This is because, in troubled times, or because of the invasion of external forces, or because of the weakening of the central government's control ability, the governors of various countries stood on the same front and competed for territory with each other, becoming a situation in which the heroes stood side by side and competed for the Central Plains. In troubled times, governments at all levels were unable to suppress bandits, so some bandits and powerful people also called in troops to buy horses, pull mountains to attack cities and plunder land. Some of these people have been developed and become one of the heroes.

In troubled times, the people were ravaged by war and left their homes. Therefore, I hope that great men will be born, so that the world will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace. Such a man who saved all people from difficulties is a hero admired by people. So there is a greater chance of heroes appearing in troubled times.

Third, there are no heroes in the prosperous times.

In this way, doesn't it mean that everyone is looking forward to troubled times, so that they can have a chance to try their hand and show their true colors as heroes? Not exactly. Although peace and prosperity will corrupt people, it is better than troubled times. Therefore, for the sake of the country and the people, don't hope for troubled times, let alone destroy peace and create turmoil. In order to satisfy his desire for fame, it is public enemies who talks in troubled times and confuses people. Therefore, people who want to be heroes should not go astray because of quick success and instant benefit. You know, concentration is also a criterion for testing heroes.

There is an old saying in China that "a hero waits for time". In prosperous times, heroes must restrain their desire for fame and fortune. On the one hand, they should increase their strength for future needs; On the other hand, we should love and enjoy the fun of life; If you don't have a chance to show your skills, you should celebrate world peace. You can't harm the world for your own selfish interests.

So, if the time is wrong, don't stand up. If you don't have a chance, don't move around. Maintaining strength and keeping pace with the times is a kung fu that heroes must learn. The ancients used dragons as a metaphor for heroes: "The great and the small can be promoted and hidden; It's cloudy and foggy when it's big, and it's hidden when it's small; Ascension flies in the universe and hides in the waves. " There used to be a lyric in Beijing opera: "One day, the wind and thunder will move up to the ninth grade." This is the hero's mentality of waiting for time.

Fourth, who makes heroes?

Because the hero must wait for the opportunity, and before the opportunity, the hero can't start. Therefore, there is a very popular old saying in China, which is called "Times make heroes". This sentence must be carefully analyzed, because although it is correct, it also has flaws.

The phrase "times make heroes" has two meanings. First of all, the hero must wait for the right time to appear. Without times, there would be no heroes. This is correct. The current situation refers to opportunities and situations. When a hero comes out of the mountain, we must see clearly whether the situation is favorable and the timing is right. Just like surfing, you have to wait for the big waves to come and seize the most suitable opportunity, then get on the surfboard, go downstream and succeed with one blow. As the saying goes, "He who knows the times is a hero." This sentence was originally intended to be positive in the ancients, not the negative meaning extended by later generations. )

The second meaning has a negative meaning, that is, "the times make heroes, so heroes are nothing but a good opportunity." Let me go, I can. "Because of this view, there is a general feeling of self-pity, negative pessimism and complaining. For example, I often hear such words: "What's the big deal? Those people are famous because they stand on the waves. My life is terrible, and I missed the opportunity. If I were in their position, I could also succeed. Accept your fate! "

This statement is actually neither healthy nor correct. It is true that some people are "famous" not by their own skills, but by luck and opportunity, but not all heroes are like this. Moreover, if these people only rely on opportunities, not strength, then even if they stand on the wave, they will not succeed after all. As the saying goes, you can fool people for a while, but not for a lifetime. It will be exposed sooner or later. Just like those princes evaluated by Cao Cao, there were soldiers at that time, but they were not real heroes, and they were all destroyed in the end.

Although some people are in high positions, they only care about their own interests, collude with their cronies, play politics and endanger society. Although he can dominate for a while, he can only be called a traitor because of his improper position and good behavior. Evil triumphed over good. The adulterer's career cannot last long, and it is impossible to leave immortal achievements.

So heroes are also graded. There are real heroes and fake heroes; Those "heroes" who become famous by relationships, opportunities and deception are not real heroes.

5. Who can be a hero?

Heroes depend on the times and on themselves. Heroes wait for the time and move, and rise with the trend. However, after you start, you have to start a career on your own.

Heroes should see the direction of the situation clearly and follow the trend. As the saying goes, those who go against the trend die, and those who follow the trend prosper.

Some people are heroes against the trend, but their careers are often half the effort, and they need to pay several times of efforts, but they rarely succeed.

Heroes are good at steering. Just like a helmsman on a ship, let your career be a downwind ship, avoiding reefs and shoals until you enter the port safely.

So heroes are like highly skilled trendsetters. Before the time comes, he lurks, as quiet as a virgin. Then it will follow the wind and move like a rabbit.

But these heroes are still inseparable from the influence of the times. Although they can clearly understand the current situation, seize the opportunity and make use of it, if the opportunity leaves them, they will also get into trouble. Just like the overlord of Chu, he pulled the mountain out of the world, but in the end he committed suicide in Wujiang River because of "unfavorable times". Therefore, those who only make use of the current situation, although heroes, can only be called heroes of the current situation, that is, they are temporary heroes, temporary heroes. Although they can rule for a while, they will eventually be conquered or conquered.

None of these people are real heroes or great heroes.

6. Who can know heroes?

When a hero keeps pace with the times, he often needs someone to support him besides the times. Jiang Taigong is a hero, but if King Wen didn't happen to travel to his seclusion, he would have to fish for a living. Zhuge Liang is a hero, but if Liu Bei hadn't really asked him to take care of the thatched cottage, he would have slept in the thatched cottage all his life, and he wouldn't be a hero admired by future generations.

So these heroes still depend on people to appreciate and admire them. This is what the ancients in China said: "A discerning person knows a hero". There are hermits in the street, heroes in the grass and experts in the mountains. These people often come from humble origins, although they have their own strength, but they also have to rely on the insight of others to find out before they can make a fortune. Therefore, there are often some people in the world who have no talent and lament that they have not met Bole.

In the troubled times of ancient times, those ambitious and talented people were looking for the so-called wise masters in their lives. If a hero doesn't get a wise master, it's like casting pearls in the dark, and he will never succeed in this life. Zhao Yun, one of the Three Kingdoms, doesn't know the Lord. Although he has improper courage, he can't become famous. It was not until I met Liu Bei and Kong Ming that I showed my true colors as a hero.

However, the heroes preached by these people are still not great heroes. Since they are waiting for others' eyes, they are bound to be used and controlled by others, unable to control their own destiny and unable to guarantee that their goal of making contributions can be achieved. Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei in establishing Shu State and making contributions. However, after Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang was restrained by his fatuous late master Liu Chan, and left Qishan in vain, and his ambition to restore the Han Dynasty also vanished during his journey. Yue Fei was an anti-gold hero, but was recalled by the fatuous emperor 13 and died unjustly. As the saying goes, "often make heroes cry." Therefore, it is not easy to be a hero. Be a hero unless you make up your mind.

7. Who is the great hero?

A hero in the general sense is just a person who is good at some aspects, who is good at taking advantage of the trend and leads a coquettish time. Although these people have strengths, they also have shortcomings. When you meet a clever opponent, you can only surrender in the end.

In contrast, the real hero is the impeccable perfect man.

Masculinity: indomitable spirit, not believing in ghosts and gods, not afraid of heaven and earth, and having the desire to compete with God. They don't rely on fate, don't wait for the current situation, are not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, and firmly believe that man can conquer nature. They are kind and generous, taking saving the whole world as their responsibility; They, the people, aim to build a peaceful and prosperous society. They are majestic, and monsters shun them when they see them; They have superhuman courage, and Taishan collapsed in front of them without changing color. They are open-minded, and talents from all over the world flock to them; They are righteous and dare to break into the dragon cave for justice.

Ability: Zebei is the best in the world, punishing evil and promoting good, brilliant, well versed in ancient and modern times, capable of writing and martial arts, both intelligent and brave, sizing up the situation, skillfully calculating, proficient in military strategy, leading a group of people, making good use of prestige and commanding a group of heroes. Just as Mao Zedong described it in the past: "I cherish Qin Huang Hanwu and lose my literary talent slightly;" Tang Zong Song Zu, slightly less coquettish. Genghis Khan, the hero of the throne, only knows how to draw a bow and shoot arrows. Count the romantic figures in the past and look at the present. "

Therefore, a great hero is a hero among heroes. Judging from moral articles and Wen Tao's military strategy, they are all outstanding wizards. Knowledgeable, the world is like a palm pattern; There is a mystery hidden in your stomach, and you can win thousands of miles in the curtains. On morality, it can be compared with sages. Writing articles is full of words, stressing strategy is an exhaustive strategy, and there are millions of brave soldiers in the chest. So, whose is the world? It takes hundreds of years to produce such a talent. Isn't there an ancient poem in China that says, "Every generation has produced talents, each leading the way for hundreds of years"?

Eight, the hero creates the situation

Wait! Storyteller, didn't you just say "heroes move with the times"? Why do you say "heroes don't wait" now?

Look at the official and listen to the breakdown. He who bides his time may be a hero, but he is not a great hero. Heroes created by the times are not really great heroes. The man who can create the current situation is a great hero. Therefore, the phrase "the times make heroes" is flawed, and a more reasonable statement should be: "heroes make the times."

Facing the unfavorable situation, the great hero does not wait passively, complain about others, sigh "no confidant", or act blindly, but tries to transform the situation and create a favorable situation for himself. To give a simple example, there is an ancient art of war in the military called "hiding people's eyes and ears and revealing them." This is an example of creating motivation. When the enemy's deployment is tight and impeccable, you can hide your own strength, lure the enemy to readjust their deployment by means of false redeployment, let you see the enemy's emptiness and create a fighter plane that is beneficial to you.

The task of great heroes is to defend their country, so their battle cannot be described by an art of war. Its content is richer and wider, including politics, military affairs, economy and culture. It is extremely difficult and requires clear goals, complete and thorough plans and superb organizational and command skills. It will take a long time, because the advantages have to be accumulated bit by bit. Without quick success, it is impossible to do it overnight. Because we must overcome the strong with the weak, we must be flexible. Give in when you give in, and retreat when you retreat, just like taking the initiative in chess.

In Mao Zedong's Selected Works, there is a modern mode in which heroes create situations. Mao Zedong adopted slogans and strategies such as mobilizing the masses, beating local tyrants, dividing fields, encircling cities from rural areas, united front, giving preferential treatment to prisoners, three disciplines and eight attentions, and establishing and consolidating base areas. These are all aimed at winning the hearts of the people, accumulating strength, and finally attacking Chiang Kai-shek at an appropriate time. Chiang Kai-shek is also a hero, but only belongs to the ranks of Shixiong and Xiongxiong. Compared with such a great hero as Mao Zedong, we can only admit defeat.

Unlike those so-called heroes, real heroes are not completely affected by the situation. They will not only recognize the situation and seize the opportunity, but also guide and transform it. When they find that the situation is unfavorable, they will not sit still and worry about the city, but try their best to get out of trouble. When they find that their career has gone astray, they will take decisive action to set things right and put their career on the right track. When the Red Army failed in its fifth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression" and was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Chiang Kai-shek soldiers, Mao Zedong stepped forward decisively and took over the command of the Red Army again. The Red Army crossed Chishui several times and adopted the tactics of shifting eastward and westward to confuse the enemy, thus gaining the initiative. Finally, the Red Army got rid of the siege, completed the Long March and established the northwest base area. It is precisely because of Mao Zedong's outstanding art of war command that he was unanimously praised by the Red Army generals (all heroes who can be used to fighting) that he was elected as the leader of the Red Army at the Zunyi Conference and became a hero among heroes. It is with the leadership of the great hero Mao Zedong that the Red Army can be invincible after 1936.

Therefore, if the average hero is a trendsetter, then the real hero is the man behind the trendsetter. It is these great heroes who have created trends, fashions, opportunities and a group of heroes. As the saying goes, "the winner is king, and the loser is a thief." Great heroes have made their own careers, and those who have followed them and made great contributions to Hanma certainly have the opportunity to be crowned king and become heroes.

Ninth, the practical significance of heroism theory.

People go east, and the waves wash away the romantic figures of the ages. Although the ancient heroes have disappeared, their stories remain in the world, constantly inspiring generations of future generations. Even in modern times with advanced technology, it is still of great significance to relive the past of the ancients.

For example, it is of practical significance to distinguish between fake heroes and real heroes (great heroes).

For those who complain about bad luck and poor talent all day, they should not excuse themselves with such reasons. Heroes created by the times are not real heroes. If you are a confident and knowledgeable hero, you should work hard. You know, if the cone is in the bag, the edge will be exposed sooner or later. Therefore, we should not waste our time, but work harder, increase our strength and meet the arduous challenges in the future.

Moreover, it is the great hero who can cause the current situation. If you think you are a great hero, you should not be discouraged in difficult situations. You should create opportunities and situations for yourself. China has a famous saying: "You can't say fate if you haven't finished your work." Complaining is not a hero.

Of course, in the real society, not everyone wants to have the ability or become a great hero. However, the spirit of worrying about the country and the people and striving for self-improvement will always have educational significance. In the modern stable and peaceful society, everyone should set their own goals in life, keep learning, keep making progress, and achieve satisfactory goals in their own fields. Be worthy of the person you love and don't waste this life. Such people are great heroes. As the saying goes, every line is the best.

X. heroism and team spirit

A hero who talks for a long time may be mistaken for touting personal heroism. In fact, heroism is not equal to individualism. Ancient thinkers in China have made this issue clear. No matter how high a hero's personal skill is, it is still inseparable from the support of the people and the efforts of his subordinates. As the saying goes, a hero needs three gangs, and safflower needs the help of green leaves. Without support, no matter how great a man is, he will become a tiger falling in Pingyang, a dragon stranded in the beach, bullied by dogs and played by shrimp.

Therefore, no matter how great a hero is, he must unite his subordinates and gather strength. One can't succeed without talent. To be a hero, we must discover talents, gather talents, make good use of talents and be kind to talents. In order to build a hard-working team, heroes should also be able to manage talents. Talented people are bound to be arrogant and difficult to control. Only a real hero can defeat the dragon and tiger, and talents also need real heroes to lead. Heroism, collective spirit and team spirit complement each other.

Fan Wen:

From ancient times to the present, heroes always have to go through hardships to achieve great things, and pampered people always lack spirit and cannot achieve great things.

(Li Ka-shing) Young people have experienced many hardships since ancient times.

Li Ka-shing sets the alarm clock forward 10 minutes every day, and arrives at the teahouse first. The habit of speeding up time has been preserved to this day. He is ahead of the times in everything he does.

The working hours of the teahouse are above 15 hours every day. It was already midnight when the teahouse closed. Li Ka-shing recalled these days and said, "I worked in Pixing Dai Yue, and all the lights went home." . This is really too tired for a teenager who is only 14 or 15 years old. During the day, there are fewer tea customers, but there are always a few old people sitting at the coffee table to kill time. Li Ka-shing is the most inconspicuous hall.

Son, everyone is resting, but he has to stay in the teahouse to wait on him.

Li Ka-shing talked with his son about his teenage experience: "At that time, my greatest hope was to sleep beautifully for three days and three nights."

Teahouse is a small society with all kinds of people. They are far from the ancient sages mentioned by my father, but they are all so real and full of distinctive personalities. They are either poor or rich; Or bold, or calm. Perhaps because he has been immersed in obscene books for too long, Li Ka-shing has a special freshness for the people and things in the teahouse. He will speculate on a tea drinker's native place, occupation, wealth and personality. From this, he formed the habit of observing people, which is of great benefit to his future sales promotion work.

Li Ka-shing especially likes to listen to tea drinkers talking about the past and gossiping. He learned a lot about society and the world from it. Many things are unheard of at home and in the classroom; Many statements are contrary to what my late father and teacher instilled. Li Ka-shing found that the world turned out to be so complicated and colorful. Li Ka-shing's thinking is no longer as simple as a blank sheet of paper, and because his father's instructions are unforgettable, he has not lost himself in the ever-changing world.

Listening to tea drinkers chatting is the best treatment to relieve fatigue. On one occasion, Li Ka-shing was so fascinated that he forgot to serve his guests tea. When he heard the waiter calling, he hurriedly took the teapot to make boiled water for the guests and accidentally spilled it on the tea drinker's pants.

Li Ka-shing stood there scared like a stake, blanched, and didn't know how to make amends to the tea drinker. Tea drinkers are the parents of the teahouse and the grandfather served by the waiter. If you are a picky tea drinker, you will definitely slap the waiter.

Li Ka-shing stood in awe, waiting for the tea drinker to scold him and punish him, waiting for the boss to fire him. Before Li Ka-shing came in, a waiter made the same mistake as Li Ka-shing. The person who drinks tea is a "triad fan". The boss didn't dare to offend the "big evil spirit", forced the waiter to kneel down and confess, and then immediately ordered him to leave.

At this time, the boss came running and was about to scold Li Ka-shing. An unexpected thing happened. The tea drinker said, "I accidentally met him, so I can't blame this superfine product." The tea drinker always excused Li Ka-shing, but the boss apologized to the tea drinker and didn't criticize Li Ka-shing.

The tea drinker sat for a while and then left. Li Ka-shing recalled what had just happened, and her eyes were moist. Afterwards, the boss said to Li Ka-shing, "I know you spilled water on the guest's trouser legs. Be careful what you do in the future. If there are any mistakes, you should apologize to the guests as soon as possible. Maybe it will become a big deal. This guest is kind, but if he is a little evil, I don't know what will happen. It is difficult for the boss and the guys to open a teahouse. "

When he got home, Li Ka-shing told his mother about it, and her mother said, "Blessed by the Bodhisattva, the guests and the boss are good people." She also warned her son: "As you sow, you reap"; "Good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil".

Li Ka-shing never saw this kind tea drinker again. When he became a millionaire, he said to his friends, "Although this is a small matter, it seems to me to be a big one. If I can still find that guest, I will definitely let him spend his old age in peace to repay his great kindness. "

This is the only "rice bowl crisis" in Li Ka-shing's life. A year later, Li Ka-shing quit his job in the teahouse and went to his uncle's Zhongnan Watch Company.

He survived the hardest year, and his boss gave him a raise, so he can take turns taking a lunch break or coming home early like other waiters. Teahouse work is not promising, but he thanked the teahouse owner, who satisfied Li Ka-shing's basic desire to support his family and gave him an excellent life training.

Li Ka-shing hesitated for several days before going to his uncle's company. He is eager for a new career, especially dealing with complicated clocks and watches. When Li Ka-shing stepped into the society, he once passed by his uncle's kindness. Now Li Ka-shing feels that he seems to have no worries anymore. I am a person who has been wandering and tempering in society. I entered my uncle's company not to receive gifts, but to work for my uncle.

Recalling the teenager Li Ka-shing, Zhuang Jing 'an said: "Ah Cheng's grandfather died too early, so Ah Cheng is a mature teenager, and many of his thoughts and practices are like adults."

Li Ka-shing entered his uncle's company, and he didn't take special care of him because he was a nephew. Li Ka-shing started as an apprentice, but at first he couldn't touch clocks, and did chores such as sweeping the floor, making tea, pouring water and running errands. Li Ka-shing has received very strict training in the teahouse, and he is adept at it, doing it quickly and well. At first, many employees didn't know that Li Ka-shing was the boss's nephew. They praised Li Ka-shing in front of Zhuang Jing 'an, saying that he was "smart and diligent". "Even by looking at other people's faces, he knew what others wanted to do, and he would take the initiative to help".

Li Ka-shing entered Zhongnan Company to learn how to assemble and repair clocks and watches. He took advantage of the gap between handyman and master to learn skills. He is ingenious, and he learned to assemble and repair various models of clocks and watches in only half a year.

My uncle is very happy with Jiacheng's progress, but he never praises him in person.

1In August, 945, Japan surrendered, and the dark age of Japanese rule ended, but the colonial status of Hong Kong remained unchanged, except that the sun flag was replaced with a herringbone flag. Before the war, the population of Hong Kong was 6.5438+0.63 million, which was sharply reduced to 600,000 during the Japanese occupation. A large number of houses were destroyed, and Britain took over Hong Kong, leaving 6.5438+0.7 million people homeless. The number of people who fled Hong Kong to avoid disasters in wartime returned to Hong Kong every month was 654.38 million+people. Food shortage, fuel shortage, housing shortage, the British Hong Kong government has taken a series of measures to ensure public supply and revitalize Hong Kong's economy.

Zhuang Jing 'an foresaw the extraordinary development of Hong Kong's economy, so he expanded the scale of the company and adjusted the personnel. Li Ka-shing was transferred to Goldman Sachs Street Watch Store as a clerk.
