老子和爱的智慧

很多人都背过《道德经》的一句话: “无为而无不为。” 很多人误会,以为老子在讲什么都不要做。 如果真是什么都不做,人早就饿死了。 老子的意思其实很简单: 不要违背规律去强行做事。 中国有个故事叫拔苗助长。 农夫嫌禾苗长得慢,就把每棵苗往上拔一点。 第二天,全死了。 问题不是农夫不努力, 而是他违背了生长的规律。 人的事业、关系、成长,其实也是一样。 《道德经》还说: “为者败之,执者失之。” 越想控制一切,越容易失败。 越想抓住一切,反而越容易失去。 所以真正的智慧,不是拼命控制世界, 而是理解规律,顺势而为。 这也是我说的 爱的智慧(Love Intelligence, LQ)。 爱的智慧不是软弱, 而是一种更高级的力量: 不用强迫去推动人, 而是用理解去激发人。 不用控制去维持关系, 而是用真诚去滋养关系。 当你不再用蛮力去拧世界, 世界反而开始为你打开。 这就是老子的智慧, 也是AI时代人类最不可替代的能力:爱的智慧。

Our civilization is in a state of ongoing strivings, in which control seems to be the highest virtue. Yet the more we control, the more we lose. The best way is to let go. That means not to control and let nature take its natural course. As opposed to a control-obsessed society, Daoism revolves around letting go and going with the flow. At first glance, the act of letting go may seem a form of weakness, but according to Daoism, by a correct understanding of how to universe works, we can approach life more intelligently, more efficiently and go with the flow. The power of letting go is a form of strength, it is of sophistication rather than force. Because letting things go is the key to let nature do the work. In this article, I would like to show you several ways the power of letting go. The first o...

Nothing is Everything per Lao Tzu

In our previous blog, we talk about how to use our eyes to close every sale.  Over 84 techniques were shared in our  courses   How to Close Every Sale  and  Sales Power , today we will dwell on one tactic: Using Nothingness. Nothingness is not to be confused with Nothing. Nothingness is also not the same as Emptiness. Nothingness is nothingness, nothing more or nothing less. This concept of Nothingness is from Lao Zi’s Dao De Qing book 道德经. Lao Zi is an ancient Chinese philosopher who lived in China 2,500 years ago. His philosophies share much in common with India’s Siddhartha Gotama (or The Buddha) and Greece’s Socrates.  These wise men lived around the same time but far away from each other. The fact that they can say the same thing proves that this concept is universal, it has nothing to do with Eastern or Western. Nothingness or 无 is defined as the state of being nothing, the state of non-existence of anything, or the property of having nothing...
