Mr. He Shitai, a Confucian of the Ming Dynasty, gave an instruction to Ren Zhiyang: If you are not sincere, you will not accomplish anything, and if you are not humble, you will not know what is going on.Both truth and fiction must be based on a word of sincerity.The so-called dishonesty has nothing, that is, this truth.Regardless of whether you manage affairs or be a person, you should have a solid and open mind, be respectful and sincere, and be unconcerned, so that you can achieve success and magistrate.It is also said that getting the right way will help you a lot.

In some places, there is still the style of a person who is a great scholar, who thinks that he is always right and everyone is wrong.As a result of this style of work, he often makes jokes personally, which is second to none, and it is an irreparable loss that invisibly causes the stagnation of the organization he is in charge of.
