The biggest weakness of human nature: do not like to listen to the truth
A good life should not only listen to the truth, but also listen to the truth.

Shakespeare said, "A man would rather listen to a hundred beautiful lies than a single straight truth."
in life, when we interact with others, we are still willing to accept some words even if we know that some words are false flattery.
but we are very resistant to those objective truths.
do not realize that if this goes on for a long time, our life will get worse and worse as we can't hear the truth.
if you don't listen to the truth, you dare not look directly at your own shortcomings
the famous screenwriter Li Bihua said: "the truth is the worst, and the truth is the worst."
you know, although lies are good to hear, they may not be really useful to us; truth, though harsh to our ears, can make us face up to our shortcomings.
in other words, to blindly reject the truth is to avoid your own shortcomings.
once saw a personal experience shared by a netizen.
she said that her best friend and she blushed because of a word.
things should start with her kind advice.
her friend runs a restaurant that specializes in delicious bacon sausages and is called "Internet celebrity sausage" by netizens.
after running this business for more than half a year, the business of the restaurant is booming. In order to maximize profits, her friend secretly replaced the pork that should have been used in making sausages with other pork at a lower price.
once, she brought several colleagues over to taste, and the colleagues said while eating:
"'Internet celebrity' is just like this. it tastes good, but the meat tastes good."
after she tasted it, she found that the taste was slightly different from what she had eaten before.
although it doesn't have much impact, she is still worried that her friend has screwed up the reputation she has accumulated for half a year because of this.
so she called her friend that night and asked, "Why do you feel that the taste of sausage in the store has changed a little recently?"
after listening to this, my friend said foolishly, "Hey, no matter, don't look at me for making money. I'm not comfortable finding fault. I'm busy. We'll meet and talk another day."
the phone hung up without waiting for her to answer.
the next day, the two agreed to have dinner together.
she kindly mentioned the problem of sausage to her friend and said:
"the taste of sausage is a little worse than it was some time ago. You haven't changed any materials, have you? don't smash the sign because of this."
when my friend heard this, his face immediately sank, frowned and retorted, "what nonsense are you talking about? how can so many people buy it if it's not delicious? do I use you to teach me how to do business?"
from there, the relationship between the two people was much lighter because of her kind reminder.
Zhou Dunyi, a great ideologist of the Northern Song Dynasty, once lamented:
"Today, people have, do not like people's rules, such as taboo and taboo of medical treatment, would rather destroy their body than have no enlightenment."
in fact, many people do not really like to listen to the truth, but do not dare to look directly at their own shortcomings, so deliberately avoid.
everyone likes to hear good words, but only the truth can tell us which shortcomings should be corrected.
if you don't listen to the truth, you will be surrounded by villains
actress Betty once said, "if no one listens to lies, liars disappear."
just like if we don't listen to the truth, those friends who dare to tell the truth will gradually leave us.
they have no stand, regardless of events, and their mouths are always like honey, deliberately saying what we like to hear.
if you hear more lies, there must be less truth.
my cousin Wang Yun once complained to me that her father was surrounded by flattering friends.
her father is a medical equipment salesman, willing to bear hardships, can do things, and signed a lot of big clients for the company.
because of his excellent performance, he rose all the way from a bottom employee to vice president of the company.
stood on the ceiling of the company's employees, and he began to get carried away by the treatment of "one person below ten thousand people".
he even demoted an employee because he pointed out the shortcomings of his plan.
once, he invited two old employees who had rushed with him all the way to dinner. for the sake of his future, the two men talked about his management problem that "only flattering the villain is useful."
who expected it, he blushed at that time, rejected other people's nonsense, and the meal broke up in discord.
since then, fewer and fewer people have dared to tell him the truth. With silence and resignation, the company has left a bunch of employees who can speak well and talk sweetly:
"Boss Wang, things are like gods!"
"Why can't I think of such a great idea!"
"I am always confident to work with leaders like you."
before long, there was no one around him who dared to point out his shortcomings.
Di Zi Gui says:
"after smelling anger, hearing pleasure, bad friends come, but good friends."
means that if you are unhappy to hear others say that you are wrong, and you will be overjoyed to hear others praise you, soon those who are obedient and cover up your mistakes will come to you, and the real good friends will stay away from you.
the hypocrisy that echoes the audience will never be worth the outspoken sincerity.Meaning.
if people do not listen to the truth all the time, those who tell you the truth are bound to gradually leave, leaving behind all those who love to tell lies.
those who dare to tell the truth deserve to be cherished most
remember the philosopher Francis Bacon said:
"it is indeed a blessing and a natural fortune to be able to hear others tell you the truth, to make fewer or no detours, and to make fewer or no big mistakes."
good advice goes against the ear and can save people.
those who dare to tell us bluntly about our shortcomings are the most worth cherishing.
Gengzhu is a proud pupil of Mozi, a guru. Although he is a beloved apprentice, he is always scolded by Mozi.
on one occasion, Mozi scolded him again in public for his arrogance and complacency.
he asked disgruntled, "am I not better than others?" Why do you always scold me? "
after hearing this, Mozi did not answer directly, but asked him:
"if I want to go up the Taihang Mountains and drive with a good horse or a good horse, do you want to spur the horse or the cow?"
"of course I spur a good horse." He answered.
Mozi asked again, "Why should you spur a good horse instead of that cow?"
the ploughing pillar then replied, "A good horse is worth pushing."
Mozi smiled and said:
"I also think you are worth pushing, so I am harsher on you and point out your shortcomings."
after hearing this, Gengzhu suddenly became clear that he would no longer refuse any "truth".
you know, those who think highly of you and are kind to you will risk being scolded by you to tell you the truth.
as the saying goes:
"people who are really good for you dare to tell you the truth, no matter how sharp it is."
although the truth is ugly, it can be good for me.
those who speak out and stop us from making mistakes point out our shortcomings and analyze the pros and cons for us.
they are our real dignitaries.
A good life needs the truth
the German poet Heine once said: "Life cannot produce brilliant flowers from lies."
you know, when we don't hear the truth for a long time, our growth is bound to stop or even go backwards because of lies.
and when we hear the truth, and when we hear the truth, life will move forward.

Chen Jiru of the Ming Dynasty once said:
"can receive kind words, such as the city people seek profit, an inch accumulate baht tired, become rich."
"
Truth is like a mirror, it can always remind us of our shortcomings.
once we open our hearts and try to welcome the real feedback from others, it is only temporary.
our thoughts will continue to expand with the impact, and our lives will gradually change for the better as we listen and change.
, a good life should not only listen to the truth, but also listen to the truth.
