Chapter 107 Recognizing the villain: Don't let the villain make trouble

886. The Characteristics of the Villain's Words and Actions

The composition of personnel in the business field is the most complicated. If you deal with it carelessly, you will easily fall into the "way" of villains.

It's hard to tell what a villain is. Small doesn't refer to age or size. A villain and a villain are two different things.If the relationship with the villain is not handled well, most people will suffer.

The villain has no special appearance, and the word villain is not written on the face. Some villains are even handsome and beautiful, eloquent and literary, and they look like "talented generals", and they are also very smart.

However, as long as you observe carefully and study carefully, the villain can still be distinguished from the behavior.

Generally speaking, villains are people who do not abide by the righteous way and use evil means to achieve their goals, so their words and deeds have the following characteristics:
1. Like to spread rumors
The villains have other purposes in making rumors and making troubles, not for pleasure in spreading rumors. Lying and spreading rumors are the survival instinct of villains.

2. Like to sow discord
For a certain purpose, they can use the method of alienation to stir up feelings among friends and colleagues, and create differences between them, while he watches the fun in order to profit from it.

3. Like flattery
Although this kind of person is not necessarily a villain, but this kind of person is easy to be arrogant because he is favored by his boss, speak ill of others in front of his boss, and will elevate himself whenever he has the opportunity.

4. I like to obey the yang and obey the yin
This kind of behavior represents the behavior style of people like them, so villains may be different from others, which is also a kind of behavior of villains.

5. Like to follow the power
Whoever gains power will cling to him, and whoever loses power will abandon him. This is a major characteristic of villains.

6. Like to step on the blood of others
That is to use you to open the way for them, and they don't care about your sacrifice.

7. Like to add insult to injury
As long as someone falls, they will catch up and make up for it. In the eyes of villains, watching others fall is the happiest thing.

8. Like to look for a scapegoat
He clearly refused to admit that he was at fault, insisting on finding someone to take the blame.

887 Little people change their faces quickly, always be on the lookout

There are many experiences of the ancients who treat people cautiously and avoid using words to make disasters.For example, Pang Shangpeng of the Ming Dynasty once said: "When you meet people, you only talk about three points, but you can't give up your whole heart."

This is indeed the case. For those who are stubborn and blindly strive for victory, they should pay attention to preventing gaffes.For people with ulterior motives and unspeakable words, don't reveal your sincerity for the time being; if you talk deeply about it, your sincerity will be exchanged for slander that confuses black and white. This should be used as a reference since ancient times.

It is unwise to speak without knowing the situation, and it is disloyal to conceal the situation when it is known.To speak when one should be silent is like dirt; to be silent when one should be speaking is like dust.To discuss what should not be said is a person with ulterior motives; to say what should be said but not to say anything is a sign of dullness.

In dealing with the world, the most taboo is to speak without reservation, the most taboo to reveal all the cleverness, and the most taboo to occupy everything that is good.If there is no room for the above three things, others will look sideways.When making friends, you must choose good people, and you can't confess your heart without fully understanding.Bosom friend talks and bosom friend listens, not bosom friend does not talk with each other.Don't tell lies in front of real people.

It is best not to use the face-changing villain, but you must know which one is the villain.They are used to doing one thing to the face and another behind the back; crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, they will do whatever it takes.When you are proud of yourself, even if not long ago, you were "seeing people as low as a dog", you will immediately follow the trend and smile on your face; but when you suffer setbacks and lose your glory, you will stay away and look disdainful. If you are arrogant, you will even add insult to injury.A traitorous villain like Yuan Shikai, in order to ask for credit and rewards, has made his way to success, and he even does not hesitate to make people lose their heads. It can be seen that the heart of a villain is unpredictable, and the face of a villain can change as soon as it changes.

888. Don't Believe in the Promises of Villains

Once upon a time, there lived a scorpion and a frog.The scorpion thought about the pond, but it couldn't swim.So it crawled up to the frog and begged, "Excuse me, Mr. Frog, can you carry me across the pond?"

"Of course I can," replied the frog. "But in the present case I have to say no because you might sting me while I'm swimming."

"But why should I do this?" Scorpion asked back. "It'll do me no good to sting you, because I'll sink if you die."

Although the frog knew that the scorpion was very vicious, it also felt that what it said was reasonable.The frog thought that maybe the scorpion would put away his stinger this time, so he agreed.The scorpion climbed onto the frog's back, and they began to cross the pond.Just as they swam to the middle of the pond, the scorpion suddenly bent its tail and stung the frog.The badly wounded frog cried out, "Why did you sting me? Stinging me won't do you any good, because you'll sink when I die."

"I know." Scorpion said while sinking. "But I'm a scorpion and I have to sting you. It's in my nature."

In modern society, there are few gentlemen and many villains.No matter where, there are some villains, and the environment in which a gentleman lives is not necessarily a gentleman.Therefore, beware of the villain at any time, even if he speaks well, don't trust him easily, because the villain is often an expert in rhetoric, therefore, learn to hide it, the best words of the villain Don't believe too much.

889. Clever Ways to Deal with Villains
Anyone who doesn't speak the law, reason, love, morality, or morality has the character of a villain.So, how to properly handle the relationship with the villain?The following principles can be used for your reference.

1. Do not offend villains

Generally speaking, villains are more sensitive than gentlemen and have low self-esteem, so don’t provoke them with words, and don’t offend them in terms of interests, especially don’t expose them for justice, it will only hurt yourself.Since ancient times, a gentleman is often no match for a villain, so if a villain does evil, let the powerful deal with it!
2. Keep your distance from villains.

Don't get too close to the villains, just maintain a light colleague relationship, but don't be too alienated, as if you don't take them seriously, otherwise they will think like this: "What's so great about you?" Bad luck.

3. Don't have any interests with villains
Villains often gather in groups to occupy interests and form forces. You must not rely on them to gain benefits, because once you get benefits, they will definitely demand a considerable return, even like snot, sticking you not Let go, it's impossible to get out!

4. It’s okay to suffer a little
Villains sometimes hurt you because of unintentional mistakes. If it is a small loss, forget it, because not only will you not get justice from them, but you will forge even greater hatred; therefore, forgive them.

Although the above methods may not allow you to live in peace with the little people, but I believe they will definitely minimize the harm the little people do to you.
