Don't be selfish when you have the ability;

Yuan Fu was a well-known person in the Western Jin Dynasty, and his nickname was Gongzhou.Yuan Fu has been diligent and studious since he was a child, and is well-known in the village for his eloquence.

Once, he had the opportunity to meet Lieutenant General He Xu, and told General He that he could manage a troubled county.After hearing this, General He asked, "Do you just want to govern a small county? Why don't you seek a relatively high official position like in Taige?" Yuan Fu said, "Everyone has the same talent and Everyone else is not the same. For the same person, some things he can do, but some things he can't. A wise ruler and servant must first understand this person's special talent, and then he can use this special talent You can confer suitable positions." He Xu thought Yuan Fu's words were reasonable, so he appointed him as a county magistrate.
