The word "exquisite egoism" was put forward by Qian Liqun, a professor in Peking University, when talking about the current education situation in China. He said: "Some of our universities, including Peking University, are cultivating some exquisite egoists. They are very smart, worldly, sophisticated, good at acting, know how to cooperate, and are better at using the system to achieve their goals. Once such people master power, they are more harmful than ordinary corrupt officials. "

In Professor Qian Liqun's speech, exquisite egoism refers to contemporary college students, and then its extension has been expanding and gradually extended to all levels of society. Exquisite egoist consists of two words, in which egoist refers to a group of people whose actions are self-centered, while exquisite means that their means are more sophisticated and difficult for ordinary people to distinguish.

Ordinary egoists are driven by egoism to achieve their goals, and their means are generally inferior or obvious; The exquisite egoist has high IQ and EQ, and the means to achieve his goal is more brilliant, which is difficult for ordinary people to see and can be interpreted as a reasonable existence.

Both egoists and sophisticated egoists ignore a characteristic of human beings: emotional ability, that is, the ability to understand others and other things. Just like when you walk on the expressway and see a stone crossing the road, you will walk over and move it away, because you think that if the stone is here, traffic may cause certain accidents.

The characteristics of a refined and selfish person

An egoist is a person who only pursues his own interests, regardless of the feelings of others. Exquisite egoists are a kind of people who are smarter, more cunning and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Exquisite egoists are often very clever and witty, good at observing and using the surrounding environment and people, and looking for ways to maximize their own interests. They often know the art of seeking and safeguarding their own interests, know when to say what and when to do what, and know how to avoid damaging their image and reputation while maximizing their interests.

Exquisite egoists are very confident and have a strong sense of self. They firmly believe that as long as they are strong and successful, they can avoid being hurt and bound by others. They constantly make suggestions for themselves, look for new opportunities and prospects, and strive to make themselves stronger and more influential.
