(138) 名句 famous phase : “ 用人不疑,疑人不用” Use people do not suspect, suspected people do not use

自古以来,“用人不疑,疑人不用”作为华人使用人才的一个原则,也是中国官方和企业等领导层用人的标准。
Since ancient times, " employer do not suspect a man used by him, when the man is suspected, the man cannot be used " as a principle of Chinese talent to employ people, but this is also the standard of employing people by Chinese officials and business leaders.

因为不疑,所以放心,所以可以做出好成绩,所以事业可以延续发展得更好。
Because of no doubt, so rest assured, can make good achievements, so business can continue to develop better.

凡是人才都希望自己被信任。信任,可以给人信心和力量,使人才无所顾忌地发挥自己的才能。信任,还能让上下齐心克服困难。
Any man with talent likes to be trusted. Trust can give people confidence and power to make people stop at nothing to reach their potentials. The trust also allows top and bottom united to overcome the difficulties.

不信任是信心的一种打击,疑心重重只会让人感觉不安心,不是用人所长。在古代战争时代,讯息联系沟通都很困难,所以“用人不疑” 的确派上用场。如果对冲锋陷阵的将士心生疑窦,是很难齐心协力、克敌制胜的。因为这是一种很自然的心态,你不信任人,人又怎能放心去信任你呢 ?
Mistrust is a blow of confidence, suspicions will only make people feel uneasy/worry. This is not the strength of employing personnel. In the ancient war era, contact information and communication are very difficult, so " employing no doubt " is really useful on that occasion. If causing suspicion to the soldiers in striking to make a frontal attack, it is very difficult to unite and defeat / conquer the enemy. Because this is a very natural state of mind, you don't trust people, how can the people trust to you ?

美国通用电气CEO韦尔奇的经营最高原则是:“管理得少”就是“管理得好”。这是管理的辩证法,也是管理的一种最理想境界,更是一种依托企业谋略、企业文化而建立的经营管理平台。
US Top General Electric CEO Jack Welch's operating principle is : " Managing less " is " Good Management". This is the dialectics of management, and also such management is one of the most ideal realm, but it is also a relying on corporate strategy, corporate culture to build a management platform.

如果用人多疑,“上不信下,下不信上,上下离心,以致于失败”。由于有时情况不明,可能产生的流言蜚语,特别是误听忌能者的诬陷进谗,以至于误伤人才,毁掉事业者,这样的案例从古到今举不胜举。
If an employer is suspicious, " the top does not trust the bottom, the bottom does not trust the top, the top and bottom become centrifugation, that will cause failures" . Because sometimes the status is unclear, perhaps rumors may arise, especially listen to the slanders framed by the jealous that  hurt people without intention, those careers/enterprises were destroyed since ancient times are numerous to the list.

【成语 idioms 】:
诬陷进谗 framed into slanders
举不胜举 numerous to the list
流言蜚语 rumors
齐心协力 make concerted/united efforts
克敌制胜 defeat / conquer enemies

孔子与其弟子——颜回的故事 :
The Story of Confucius and his disciple, Yan Hui :

在某次孔子周游列国的时候,情况很凄惨,经常饿着肚子。有一次有七天没有吃东西了,实在走不动了,孔子就在路边躺下休息,命颜回去讨点吃的东西。颜回到附近人家好不容易讨得几碗白米,赶紧生火煮饭。
Confucius was at his one time trip, the situation is miserable, often on an empty stomach. One of seven days without eating, he couldn't go on walking, Confucius lie down on the road side, called Yan Hui going to get something to eat. Yan Hui finally got few bowls of white rice from the people in vicinity,  then he made a fire to cook hurriedly.

再说孔子已是年迈之人,腹中饥饿难忍。人在旅途感觉好辛苦,不自不觉进入了梦乡。当他醒来时,他却看见正在煮饭的颜回,被青烟呛的直是咳嗽,又一看,颜回把手伸到铁锅内,顺手抓了一把米饭放在嘴里吃了起来。
Confucius is an old man, abdominal hunger in heartbreak. On the trip, it was so hard,  unconsciously he fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw Yan Hui cooking while coughing was caused by smoke inhalation, and looked, Yan Hui put his hand in a wok to pick up a handful of rice into his mouth to eat.

孔子寻思,颜回是个老实人,也是个知书达理之人,不会这样偷着先吃东西啊!又一想,这世道不好,人心叵测,尤其是在这患难之时更是难说呀?
Confucius thought deeply, Yan Hui is an honest man and an educated person, not having to steal  something to eat first ! On second thought, this is wicked world, man's heart is unpredictable,  especially when those are in the affliction is hard to say that ?

孔子把颜回叫到跟前说:“刚才我在梦中梦见我的父亲,心中甚是不悦,我要用些干净的米饭祭典他老人家,你去准备吧!”
Confucius asked Yan Hui coming to his front, saying : " I dreamed my father in a dream just now, feeling in the heart is very uncomfortable, I need some fresh rice to worship him, you get to prepare it ! ”

颜回这下急了:“不行,刚才做饭的时候,有些烟灰掉在饭里面,弃之可惜,我就把他抓起来吃了,现在这饭已经不干净了,不能用来祭典了呀!”
Yan Hui was anxious and said : " No, in cooking just now, there were some ash on the rice, regrettable to throw it, , I had eaten it, and now the rice is not clean, and cannot be used for ritual ! ”

孔子听颜回之言后,心中一怔,这才搞清楚了事情的原委,险些冤枉了颜回,才明白方才自己的判断是错误的,看来这信任是不容易做到的。
When Confucius heard the word of Yan Hui said, heart was startled, this was to figure out what happened, almost misunderstood Yan Hui, to understand that just his own judgment was wrong, it seems that trust is not easy to do.

但圣人就是圣人,能马上顿悟。孔子曰:"这人心的判断有时也是靠不住的,在这世上怀疑是每个人的天性啊 !"
But the Saint is saint, can have an epiphany/awareness immediately. Confucius said : "The heart of judgment is sometimes unreliable, suspected to be in this world is everyone's nature !"

后来,孔子要将今天的件事情总结提醒后人。于是他把随行的弟子全叫到跟前,万般感慨并郑重其事地说:
After that, Confucius wanted to make a  summary of today's things for reminding later generations. So he called all his disciples to the front, with full of feeling and solemnly said :

“人所相信的是自己的眼睛,但眼睛看见也不一定就是判断正确的。人所依靠的是自己心里的判断,而自己有时心里的判断也是靠不住的,想要做到实事求是是多么的不容易啊!”
" People believe their own eyes, but the eyes see may not be right. People who rely on their own judgment in the heart, but sometimes such judgment would be deceptive too, wanna seek truth from the facts is not easy ! ”

颜回赶紧记录下孔子的原话:“所信者目也,而目犹不可信;所恃者心也,而心犹不足恃。弟子记之,知人固不易矣!”
Yan Hui quickly recorded the exact words of what Confucius said : " Those who believe eyes but eyes are still not credible ; The judgement from the heart, the heart is not enough can be relied on. Disciples have remembered that to know a person is not easy !"

可见即使是孔子之圣,面对颜回这样的贤人,也不能做到:“用人不疑,疑人不用”! 但是圣人就是圣人,能马上顿悟自己的错误 。
Can see that even is the Saint of Confucius to face with Yan Hui, such a sage, is also can't make it : " use people do not suspect, suspect people do not use" ! But the saint is saint, can immediately realize his mistakes.

我个人认为:
在现今的世界里,要去信任一个人的确需要明智之举,以免误信不该信的人或误伤信任我们的人。
Personally, I think :
In today's world, we need to trust a person really needs to be smart to avoid believing untrusted people or hurt the people who trust on us.

然而,我们在这个世界上需要团队合作开发更多更好的发展,在队伍里也需要协调一致的努力不能没有信任!
However, we need team work to develop more better development in this world and also need concerted efforts in a team can't without trust !

小小个人分享 little personal sharing :

我曾经去过几个地方都是宣扬各自的宗教。当然不同的宗教都会说他们才是最真最好的真理,时常摧促人们入教 !但是,他们却忽略了宗教信仰里最重要的“大爱精神”,所以我离开了 !因为,我知道以他们那样的方式去宣扬宗教,几百年后的世界还是会为了宗教冲突而战争的啊 !
I've been to a few places which are preaching their religion. Of course, different religions will always say that they are all really the best truth,quicken people to proselytize their religion ! But, they overlook the most important religious beliefs " the Spirit of Great Love ", that's why I left ! Because I know in their way to promote the advancement of religion, hundreds of years later the world still going to religious conflicts and wars !

最后,我来到了一个地方,就是教导人们不求回报为"大爱精神"而付出的地方 !这里的举办人虽然是佛教徒,但是这里并不是为了宗教而宣扬宗教或摧促人们入教,反而是宣扬的是“大爱的精神”……不分宗教的爱,我成为了他们的志工一分子 !
I came to a place, is a place to teach people giving their "Spirit of Great Love" without expecting anything in return ! Although the organiser here is Buddhist,  here does not preach about religion because of religious beliefs or quicken people to proselytize the religion but preaching the "Spirit of Great Love" …… without differentiation of the religion love, I become a part of their volunteer !

这里不宣扬宗教,只宣扬“大爱精神” !我很喜欢这里,因为我认为“好”又“正”的宗教精神是不需要摧促或强逼人们入教或枷锁人们的日常生活方式 !……而是教导人们慈爱的精神、大爱的精神,还有个人的操守修养 !
Here does not promoting the advancement of religion, just promoting the " Great Love Spirit " ! I like here so much because I think the " good " and " right " of the religion spirit is no need to quicken or force people to proselytize religion or shackle the way of people's daily life !

通过做志工就能把大爱精神培养了出来,也会让人有所顿悟改善个人的操守修养 !
Through to work as a Volunteer can cultivate out the Great Love Spirit, it also makes people to have an epiphany/awareness to improve their conduct of individual accomplishment !

当一个人有所顿悟,他 / 她自然知道什么是正确的事 !
When a person had an epiphany, he / she will know what is the right thing !

(135) 志工的大爱精神 The Great Love Spirit of A Volunteer


上个星期六是我上义工的第一堂课,想不到我就这样爱上做义工了 !回到家的心境也真的不一样了!
I joined as a Volunteer last Saturday was my first lesson, I can't believe I just fell in love with such a volunteer job ! When back home, feeling seems really different !

也许某些人起初做义工时没有真正的爱,但是从做义工里学习到付出真正的爱,流的是真汗水,兑现所学习的真理,领悟大爱的精神 !
For someone's volunteering, at first may not have true love, but from volunteering to learn to pay the real love, Sweat flows is true, keep to realize the truth have learned, grasp the spirit of Great Love to the World !

和平世界需要大爱精神,
大爱需要每个人的点滴努力 !
Peace World needs Great Love Spirit,

如果您认为人们需要宗教的教育,可是我认为不同宗教界更需要大爱的精神让这世界更和平 !
If you think that people need religious education, but I think among the different religion communities need more Great Love Spirit to make this world more in peace !

这比起因为我们的信念而互相残杀会更好 。
This is better than to kill each other because of our belief.

当四周围的人都不是真心听你的心声时,最重要是你如何调好你的心活得健康快乐 。
