Laozi put forward the seven virtues of being a man, that is, "being good, being kind, being kind, speaking well, being good at politics, being good at times". Live in a good place, be modest; Kindness and tolerance; Be kind, be kind; Speak well and tell the truth; Good governance, integrity; Be good at things and show yourself; When doing good deeds, we should seize the opportunity. Laozi's exposition of "seven natures" is based on the concept of "water". Lao Tzu said, "Good is like water. Water is the good of all things, and water is the evil of all, so it is a few words. " He thinks that the best thing in the world is water, which nourishes everything, but never benefits himself. Man struggles upwards, but water flows downwards. It may seem unfavorable, but the trickle eventually merges into rivers and seas, which is unstoppable, and water can approach the highest realm of Tao. Similarly, the choice of life should also have this kind of water realm. Only by "not daring to be the first in the world" and the spirit of "putting the future first" that does not dispute selflessness can we finally achieve the goal of being a saint inside and a king outside. On this basis, Laozi put forward the principle of "seven goodness", that is, "living well, being kind, being kind, speaking well, believing well, being good in politics, doing well in things and being good at times." My husband is not noisy, so it's nothing special. "It means that the place to live should be natural and peaceful, and there is no place for secular disputes; The mental state should be stable, peaceful and thoughtful; Be kind and selfless, and be kind and generous when getting along with others; Speak sincerely to people and pay attention to credit; Politics should be aboveboard, combining leniency with severity; Do things to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give play to their own advantages; Choose a good time when you act, and be firm and decisive. As long as these seven requirements are met, there is nothing to worry about. The "Seven Good Principles" embodies the Taoist ideas of "combining rigidity with softness", "conquering the strong with weakness", "not daring to be the first in the world" and "taking a step back to broaden the horizon", which can be summarized as the idea of "taking the enemy from behind". In seemingly indisputable circumstances, everything comes first, and finally achieve their goals. Applying this "seven goodness" of Laozi to the choice of life and the rules of the workplace, we can get the following enlightenment. One of the seven good things: living in a good place. Using the principle of "living well" to guide your career choice and career planning is of great significance to the success of career development. The core of "living well" is always in a favorable position, such as a suitable unit, a job suitable for one's professional expertise, good interpersonal relationship and working atmosphere or an excellent performance appraisal, which are all manifestations of "living well". To do this, we should first consider our own ambition, major, hobbies and other factors that are more in line with our personality characteristics when choosing a job. Secondly, we should establish our own competitive advantage in our work and constantly improve and improve it, so as to be in a favorable position. Third, "living in a good place" also requires being able to "get rid of things that everyone hates". For example, in the choice of work, we should start from the grass-roots work of the organization and gradually grow up, so that we can not only accumulate experience, but also be familiar with and understand the whole work or production process of the organization, thus laying the foundation for our own development. The second of the seven good: good heart. Laozi's "kindness" mainly refers to people's peace of mind and thoughtful strategy, which is also very important in their long-term career. Peace of mind means being able to adapt to the changes of the organization, correctly treat and handle the relationship between fame and profit, gain and loss, especially in the process of getting a salary increase and promotion, maintaining a normal mind and a stable performance level. Thoughtfulness requires people to act cautiously in the workplace, especially to avoid traps when dealing with interpersonal relationships, so as not to make mistakes that should not be made. In addition, "kindness" also means having a broad mind and rich knowledge, especially for leaders and managers, which is an indispensable basic requirement for establishing their authority. The third of the seven goodness: kindness and benevolence. From today's point of view, "kindness" means talking about human feelings, interpersonal relationships or social relations. Whether at home or abroad, human feelings and interpersonal relationships are important means of survival. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory involves social needs, which is largely the content of this aspect. In modern society, everyone lives and works in a certain social environment, and the importance of social communication is increasing. The wider the social interaction, the higher the probability of success. Through this social interaction, not only can people's needs be met, but this satisfaction can make people feel that they are respected. In this state, the respect and self-worth brought by social interaction can achieve the purpose of encouraging people to work hard. Therefore, socialization is the basic condition for everyone in the workplace to succeed. In the specific skills of communicating with people, the key is to know the way of the world, to be kind and compassionate, that is, to enjoy what others like and to grieve their feelings, so that they can jump out of their own small environment and integrate into the social environment. The fourth of the seven goodness: good words and good faith. Sun Tzu said, "General: wisdom, faithfulness, benevolence, courage and strictness." (Chapter 1 of Sun Tzu's Art of War) says that a commander-in-chief should not only know how to fight (ingenuity), but also pay attention to credit (trustworthiness), love soldiers (benevolence), be brave (courage) and be strict in management (strictness). The word "trust" refers to credit and honesty here, and so does the idiom "a promise as good as a thousand dollars". Generally speaking, credit has nothing to do with personal ability, but mainly with personal moral standards. Therefore, the credit problem not only involves personal quality and prestige, but also affects power and responsibility. Because a person without credit, it is impossible to establish a real power base, and it is difficult to achieve the purpose of influencing others. In today's commercial society, credit has become an important measure of a person's reliability and value. Generally speaking, people with credit are welcomed by everyone, while people without credit tend to be lonely. Whether leaders, managers or ordinary employees have credit has become an important factor affecting their interpersonal skills. From the organizational point of view, leaders and top managers should organically combine their own credit problems with the organization's management system, specific work requirements and management skills. For example, the commitment of leaders and managers should be guaranteed and supported by the system, especially in important personnel decisions such as salary increase and promotion. The guarantee of the system can increase transparency, thus reducing employees' sense of injustice. Secondly, for various reasons and considerations, in our daily work and life, each of us has to tell some "white lies", even some words against our will, but as long as such "lies" or words against our will do not violate the basic moral norms and principles, they are all acceptable. Because this kind of "white lie" mainly involves management skills and has little to do with personal qualities. The fifth best of the seven: good governance. The so-called "good governance" is about people's management ability and level. For leaders and managers, to achieve "political good governance", we must first have a clear understanding of the goals, disposable resources and the relationship between various related interest groups of an organization or department, which is the basis of "political good governance"; Secondly, make a specific action plan according to the organization's goals, and on this basis, guide and lead your team and subordinates to creatively complete the organization's work through effective incentives. At the employee level, "political good governance" is mainly manifested in self-management, including constantly improving and improving one's performance level, establishing good interpersonal relationships, and making effective and feasible career development plans, and gradually achieving these goals. Six of the seven good things: good things can be done. Give full play to your advantages, always do what you are best at, and always do what you can do better than others. This is "getting things done". First of all, "doing things well" is not the pursuit of a perfect state, one to achieve the best goal, one to achieve the best strategy, one to achieve the best plan and so on. Instead, it emphasizes the best understanding of yourself. To reach this level, people need to know what they are best at, or can improve their competitive advantage. But unfortunately, some people never know their career aspirations. They don't know what they want, they are unwilling to accept challenges, they lack confidence in themselves, they are afraid of failure, and they lose their existing jobs. Some people have ambitions, but they don't know how to achieve them. This mentality keeps them busy all day but gains little. Secondly, at every stage of life, with the growth of age and experience, people's abilities and advantages are also changing. We should accurately understand and grasp this change, and on this basis, constantly establish and consolidate our competitive advantage. Seven good: when you are good. Seize opportunities, avoid risks, be firm and decisive, and do not hesitate. This is "the time to be good". To do this, we need to change our traditional thinking habits. For example, in order for a person's ability, performance and achievements to be recognized by superiors, colleagues or subordinates, it is necessary to change the traditional modest thinking of "modesty and prudence" and the low-key thinking of "only doing without saying", and "doing before saying", but "saying" must be artistic and just right. The so-called "blockbuster without singing" means "good time." In the workplace, many opportunities are fleeting. To be "active", we need not only professional or technical advantages, but also long-term accumulation and keen observation and analysis ability to seize the opportunity in time. Laozi's "Seven Kindnesses" principle is a systematic way of thinking, in which "living in goodness" is the foundation, "kindness, kindness and faithfulness" are the requirements for people's moral quality, "good governance" pays attention to people's competitive advantages and abilities, "good deeds" emphasize strengths and circumvent weaknesses, and "being good at times" is the method and means. If we can meet the requirements of these seven aspects, it means that we have reached the realm of Excellence in everything.
