做人做事，有时“笨”一些更好

笨，是一种智慧。

做事做人不要耍小聪明。投机取巧，绝对走不长远。

Don't be clever in doing things and behaving. It is absolutely impossible to take a long time by taking chances.

“以天下之至拙，应天下之至巧”，捷径虽好走，但要以未来作为代价。

"To be the most clumsy in the world, to be the most skillful in the world". Although the shortcut is easy to take, it will take the future as the price.

付出多少汗水，才能赢得多少收获。

You can gain as much as you sweat.

曾国藩年少读书，走通科举之路，靠的是下笨功夫死磕。

Zeng Guofan studied at a young age and took the road to the imperial examination by making stupid efforts.

他天资并不聪颖，对于书上的很多内容他都比别的孩子记得慢，但他偏偏要一条道走到黑，背不过这一段就不开始下一段，看不完这本书就不拿起另一本。

He is not intelligent. He remembers many of the contents of the book more slowly than other children, but he has to walk all the way to the dark. If he cannot recite this paragraph, he will not start the next paragraph. If he cannot finish reading this book, he will not pick up another one.

正是凭借着这股“笨”劲，才能将基础打扎实。

It is with this "stupid" strength that we can lay a solid foundation.

正是年少功夫下得深，底子打得牢，才没有在繁琐的公务中捉襟见肘，左支右绌，甚至创下了一年连升九级的官场奇迹。

It was because he worked hard and laid a solid foundation when he was young that he didn't have enough money to spare in the complicated official work. He even achieved the miracle of being promoted to the ninth level in a year.

笨，是一种智慧，做事不走捷径，不耍心机，才能真正收获到想要的东西。

Stupid is a kind of wisdom. Only when you don't take shortcuts and tricks can you really get what you want.

笨，是一种厚道。

曾国藩为官期间人缘极好，靠的是这个“笨”字。

When Zeng Guofan was an official, his popularity was excellent. He relied on the word "stupid".

他在谈及修身之法时谈到一条“利可共而不可独”。

When he talked about the method of self-cultivation, he said that "benefits can be shared but not alone".

他为部下请功、要官，从来不含糊；部下做出了成绩，他绝不吝惜赏赐；平定太平天国之后，全国十几个封疆大吏，几乎都受过他的举荐；李鸿章、左宗棠、曾国荃，都是他不计成本，大力培养出来的。

He never hesitated when he asked for meritorious service and officials for his subordinates; He will not grudge rewards for his subordinates' achievements; After the pacification of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, almost all of the country's more than a dozen officials who had sealed the border were recommended by him; Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guoquan were all cultivated by him regardless of cost.

这样的领导，没有人不喜欢，大家也愿意为他做事。

No one likes such a leader, and everyone is willing to work for him.

相反有的人很“聪明”，属下的封赏大部分进了自己的腰包，功劳也都包揽在自己身上，这样的人，基本没有人会跟随，也不会有大出息。

On the contrary, some people are very "smart", most of their rewards go into their own pockets, and the credit is also in their own hands. Such people, basically no one will follow, and will not make great achievements.

笨，是一种厚道，对别人厚道，别人才会对自己厚道。

Stupid is a kind of kindness. If you are kind to others, others will be kind to you.

笨，是一种福气。

话常说“傻人有傻福”，人笨一点，福气运气才会多一点。

It is often said that "stupid people have stupid luck". If people are stupid, they will have more luck.

曾国藩说：为人不宜太精明。

Zeng Guofan said: It's not good to be too smart.

生活中，他不喜欢和人计较，不喜欢抓着别人的过错不放。

In life, he doesn't like to argue with others, and he doesn't like to cling to others' mistakes.

“不聋不瞎，不配当家。”睁一只眼闭一只眼，懂得宽容别人，放过别人，才是一个人的福气和福报。

"Not deaf or blind, not worthy of being a family." Open one eye and close one eye, know how to tolerate others, let others go, is a person's blessing and reward.

对别人过于苛刻，会让别人望而生畏，慢慢失去了人心。

Being too strict with others will make others feel intimidated and gradually lose their hearts.

内心宽容，善于包容别人的过失。对方感受到我们的善意，必定会以相同的善意回报我们自己。

Be tolerant and tolerant of others' mistakes. When the other party feels our goodwill, they will certainly repay us with the same goodwill.

这样的人，必然是有福之人。

Such people must be blessed.

笨，是认清世界之后的智慧；稳，是洞察万物之后的笃定。

Stupid is wisdom after recognizing the world; Stability is the firm determination after seeing everything.

万事万物都有自己的节奏和规律，不投机取巧，不好高骛远，踏下身子，努力奋进，做个又“稳”又“笨”的人，才能终有所成。

Everything has its own rhythm and law. Only by not being opportunistic and ambitious, stepping down and striving to be a "stable" and "stupid" person can we achieve success.
