"Simple is the power to fascinate people. The attraction you can find in the world of children and animals is also in its simplicity."
- Blaise Pascal.

I am correcting my friend because he wants to speak well. There is only one thing I asked for from my friend. Only the conclusion is to be concise. I can talk well just by doing this. I guess it's so hard to do this. In fact, it is not easy to express simply.


- Summary
The habit of instinctively summarizing any issue is important. We need to understand exactly what is important by shortening the core. If you can't summarize it briefly, you don't know it right. Before you speak, you should be able to summarize the core in a single line in your head.

- Expression
Subtract possible metaphor or complex modifiers. Long sentences require interpretation. If interpretation is required, it is not intuitive. It's not cool to say things that are hard to understand. You can't just talk. You have to draw a picture right in the other person's head. The expression should be simple and intuitive. Say any sentence neatly.

- Concentration.
Tell me right from the bottom line. It's better to think that the person you talk to has little concentration You have to be honest about what you want, except for all the details. Think of all the games in the beginning and focus on one. There is only one thing left in the other person's head when you say several things.

Good words are easy and concise. Talking in a difficult and flamboyant way is not good at all. Don't kill your opponent's time. It is always necessary to practice short and thick speaking. Being good at speaking means being good at sending messages. There is no better way to deliver than to speak concisely.

 

I happened to read an article that rang. It is titled "Regrets that Humans regret the most when they die," and although it is hard to tell us who wrote it Some things were read and ‘Ah!’ came to the temple. That's right. You've chosen the right element to regret when you really die.

- 10 regrets that humans do the most when they die.
1. Living with a lot of worries.
2. Not having been immersed in anything.
3. Not being more challenging.
4. Not being able to honestly express my feelings to the people around me.
5. Not my life, but the life that people around me want.
6. Not being able to tell someone I love you.
7. Not contacting friends more often.
8. Not being confident.
9. Never experienced many countries in the world.
10. After all, I now know that happiness is my choice.

If we do this the other way around, won't we be able to minimize regret? I write it down as a reminder.

1. No needless worries.
2. Try to immerse yourself in anything as much as possible.
3. I'm going
4. Always be honest with feelings and express frequently.
5. Don't look at people around you and live as I please.
6. Tell the person you love.
7. Contact your acquaintances more often.
8. Always live confidently.
9. I travel often whenever I have time.
10. Happiness is my choice after all.

How many of these do I live by doing? On count, he is practicing well except for four. Living on only six things, I never wanted to turn back the clock. Given that six of them are satisfying in their own way, I think that if you practice all 10 of them, you can really live without regret.

 

Confucius did not do any of the four things: Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. In other words, he said that he did not make up his own mind, did not assert himself, did not stick to his own obstinacy, and therefore did not make any pretense. All of these can be grouped together as one attribute: humility.

1. Don't make wild guesses.
Common sense and prejudice are two sheets of paper. You can't go through everything, but it's dangerous to rely solely on your intuition. You need to exercise a sense of balance. Before you can predict something, you should always be wary of whether it is different from the truth or a judgment that is overly prejudiced. Even if it is troublesome to be vague, it needs to be prudent to investigate and judge.

2. Don't believe you're the only one who's right.
Don't be so obsessed with right and wrong. Nothing in the world is 100 percent true. Even if it is true, it is often conditional. Self-belief is important, but if you believe it like an eternal truth, you will have more enemies around you. If this is not a particularly big issue, conflicts with people around you should be resolved "different" not "right or wrong." It is better to deal with it in a flexible manner.

3. Don't be obstinate until the end.
There are certain moments in life when you have to get your ideas across. Especially if determination is the position of an important leader. At such a moment, we need the drive to push forward based on responsibility. But most people don't have much to do. He who has to do every little thing his own way is liable to miss out on the important work. Skill is important to know how to take the most important things and not the least.

4. Don't put yourself forward.
A cornered stone meets the mason's chisel. Our society is not so tolerant of those who come forward. If he's good enough, he swears he's good enough and humbles him as if he's good At any rate, many people feel self-confidence rather than self-confidence, so you should always be careful when you step up. It is fair to say that he is somewhat pretentious, so he needs to show his humility as much as possible. Whether it's true or not.

The "self-sacrifice" means "break four things." I mean, never do the above four things. It is such an important part that Confucius stressed through his long experience and insight that he should never do it, but he cannot help it if he insists on doing so. However, how many evils would have been chosen as a "cut-off." Modesty is clearly an important situation, regardless of the times.
