From Kowloon's Inheritance

Chapter 545 Courage ([-])

Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, gentleness, courtesy, thrift, loyalty, filial piety, courage, honesty, and honesty are the fifteen virtues of human beings.

In the past, Li Mu believed that benevolence is the first virtue.

But at this moment, Li Mu understands that "courage" is the most important character.

Without courage, it is impossible to uphold benevolence and righteousness; without courage, it is impossible to uphold propriety; without courage, it is impossible to achieve the next few persistences.

Without courage, insist on excellent moral character; without courage, refuse temptation; without courage, face yourself who was once embarrassed.

Therefore, courage is the most important thing.

Courage is the first virtue of success.

A person has no IQ, no background, no background, but he cannot be without courage.To lose courage is to lose everything.

Just like the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu led an army of 20 to attack more than 20 Qin army; in the Battle of Kunyang, Liu Xiu had [-] soldiers and horses to attack Wang Mang's [-] army.At that time, they didn't have the certainty of winning, they already had the determination to die, and they would die and survive.

As for the Battle of Julu, the soldiers and horses of the other six countries were too frightened to attack.

Just like in Zhetian, those great emperors all have invincible dao heart, and invincible dao heart is courage.But after the self-cutting, not only the realm of cultivation, but also the courage was cut off.

Without courage, you lose everything.

"A man with blood and bravery turns red in anger; a man with a brave pulse turns pale in anger; a man with brave bones turns pale in anger. As far as I know, Jing Ke is a brave man, his face does not change when angry."

In ancient times, the easiest way to judge a person's moral character was to see whether he was brave or not.

Someone gave another extreme example and said that murderers are also very brave.

But this is a person with brave blood, brave pulse, and brave bones, not really brave.

Those who are brave have good moral character; those who are not brave have bad moral character.

No wonder Han Xin failed to get ahead under Xiang Yu's command, because Han Xin was not brave.

In Xiang Yu's world view, those who are not brave are not worthy of trust.

After Han Xin prospered, when he returned to his hometown in fine clothes, the butcher came to plead guilty.Han Xinke directly killed the butcher, and then said, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor.It's tit for tat, it's courage.

Han Xin can also choose to ignore it, Shenlong is too lazy to meet ants regularly.

No longer a grade, too lazy to care about.

It's like, Bill Gates, will he come forward and fight with the punks?
Not at all, directly lowered the grade.

These are two choices, but Han Xin has no choice, but chooses the third one.

When Han Xin returned home, he did not kill the butcher who had insulted him, but returned his reward, and finally made him a lieutenant of Chu State.

Han Xin also told the soldiers that this is a strong man. When he insulted me, I was not really afraid of him in my heart, because I thought it was meaningless to kill him. Let me bear it and endure the insults of the past to achieve today's great cause.

Makes sense!

But if you think about it carefully, it's just nonsense.

The reason why Han Xin endured the humiliation under his crotch was not to become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, but because he couldn't beat others and could only pretend to be a grandson.

Han Xin's success is not because of forbearance, but because he knows how to fight and wins continuously.

If there is no war, what is the use of forbearance? Liu Bang has no shortage of forbearance generals.

In fact, Han Xin didn't hold back at all, instead he talked boastfully. Among the Chu army, when Xiang Yu was discussing military affairs, Han Xin often interrupted, and was finally blasted out by Long Qie; Xiao He's attention attracted Liu Bang's attention.

As for forgiving the butcher later and returning it to a petty official, this is a political show.

Choose the first to prove that Han Xin is a man of temperament; choose the second to prove that Han Xin has a grand pattern; choose the third to prove that Han Xin is hypocritical.

A hypocrite lacks courage.

A hypocrite needs approval from others.

You need to trust others so you can trust yourself.

But in fact, a truly brave person does not need the approval of others, it is enough to recognize himself.

Also in history, why was Liu Bang the emperor instead of Xiao He?

When it comes to contacts, status, moral character, and ability to do things, Xiao He is above Liu Bang, but why is Liu Bang the emperor instead of Xiao He?

Because Xiao He has intelligence but no courage.

At the moment of the Peixian rebellion, Liu Bang was the first to stand up, and Xiao He was only the second to stand up.

Because rebellion has to bear risks, and the first one to stand up has to bear huge risks. If it fails, it is almost certain to die, but the second one is much safer.

In all aspects of quality, Xiao He is superior to Liu Bang; but because of courage and determination, he is not as good as Liu Bang.

This is also in later generations, why Zhu Yuanzhang can be the emperor, but Liu Bowen cannot be the emperor,

Smart people also have a lot of scruples, often lacking courage, lack of determination, and lack of courage.

Liu Bang's success is not only based on shamelessness, but also on courage.

In Peixian County, the three thousand soldiers took the lead in rebelling against Qin and being the leading elder brother bravely; then they made a surprise attack on Wuguan, conquered Xianyang, and did what the Allied Forces of the Six Nations could not do. ; Fight Xiang Yu in person, lose every time and fight again, without any fear, this is courage.

Courage is the first key to success.

…………

In the study, Li Mu thought about two words, over and over again.

courage!

It seems that gradually we have to realize what real courage is.

Just like Qin Wuyang, he usually fights fiercely and looks awesome, but at the critical moment, when he meets Qin Shihuang, he trembles with fright and loses the chain at the critical moment, this is called fake courage; Small, but at critical moments, he is more agile than anyone else.

Just like Jing Ke and Liu Xiu.

"Courage is the first virtue of human beings, and the second virtue is credit. People who do not trust are often of bad character, just like Liu Bang. The third virtue is filial piety!"

Li Mu understood clearly in his heart.

To identify whether a person is reliable or not, firstly, whether he is brave, secondly, whether he is trustworthy, and thirdly, whether he is filial to his parents.

All three are worth following for a lifetime, such as Liu Xiu; two of the three are worth following, such as Cao Cao; one of the three is only worth working part-time, such as Liu Bang.If you don't have the three, it's best to leave, or you will be in danger of disaster.

Suddenly, Li Mu's mind was sublimating, not only seeing the path of the extraordinary eight transformations, the nine transformations, but even the tenth transformation.

"The road ahead has been cut off. With the foundation as the brick, the courage as the machine, and the wisdom as the support, a new road has been forged... This is the road I want to take!" Li Mu said firmly in his heart: "There is no road ahead. But when I lift my foot and take the first step, there is a way ahead!"
