Confucius said: "The gentleman up to access to benevolence and righteousness, the villain down to access to wealth and profit."
Combined with the business interpretation, modern people in business, engaged in a company a business, some people are profit-oriented, and some are driven by righteousness as the fundamental. Virtue of the end of the wealth, the gentleman knows the root, the villain knows the end. Real entrepreneurs can know the fundamentals, grasp the fundamentals, such as excellent corporate culture, the right values, good vision, in such a framework to do business to engage in the market. And only know the businessman can not know the root of the profit, they make money at all costs, do everything, do false accounts to engage in false information, take the sidewalk, regardless of whether it is not the ill-gotten gains, which is called to give up the root and pursue the end.
Then you have to chase wealth, chase profits, in the end what? The financial tsunami that arose at the end of 2008 finally led to a global economic crisis, what was the reason? Premier Wen's speech was a clear-cut, said the lack of morality is the deep-rooted cause of the financial crisis, some people see profit and forget about righteousness, the loss of the bottom line of morality, resulting in a crisis. So everyone is competing for profits, and in the end it is a crisis. The enterprise will disappear from the market in three to five years.
Inside the enterprise is the same, there is a part of the up to the gentleman, of course, there is also down to the villain. They ganged up for their own personal gain, and with a little achievement, they flattered and flattered all kinds of people to ask for credit and rewards, and sought promotions and pay raises. This makes me think of Meng's anti this person, Lu's doctor, running to the temple, will enter the door,? Curating his horse said, not after the change, the horse does not enter also. Do not compete, in order not to cause friction between colleagues, not only do not own credit, but also self-effacing to exempt colleagues from jealousy. This is of course the gentleman on the reach. Historically, wars have been fought, but also a group of heroes competing for the credit, together with the comrades become enemies, the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the result of all the generals competing for the credit. In the enterprise, of course, there will be a gentleman on the da such as Meng's anti such cultivation is very high generals, is a great fortune for the enterprise is also the enterprise can be reused talent. So the Tao Te Ching also said, the way of the saint for and do not compete, the only non-competition, so the world can not compete with the competition.
Whether you are a lecturer or a business entity, you want to make money, but also to seize the fundamental, which is the fundamental virtue. You are a virtuous lecturer virtuous boss, you will not lack of followers lack of fans, there will be people dying to follow you. You speak really valuable things, leading customers and fans to honor their parents, respect for teachers, step by step to cultivate themselves, rather than leading the following people to take shortcuts, by the interests of the blindfolded. You have virtue, naturally there are many people to help you spread.
Being a big boss, you have to practice good morality, the people underneath will die to give you work, he is loyal to you. It will not be easy to leave. Why? You have virtue, they respect you. You earn money from here, can not be used for their own enjoyment, self-serving, but to help the public, the success of their own employees. Give back to society, this is the real entrepreneur. Therefore, the gentleman business is not done for themselves, is for the community, for the public to do, the world for the public.
