Day 37 S解读论语之Day 21
【原文】
2.18 子张学干禄,子曰:“多闻阙疑,慎言其余,则寡尤,多见阙殆,慎行其余,则寡悔。言寡尤,行寡悔,禄在其中矣。
【翻译】
子张请教求得官职俸禄的方法。孔子说:“多听,把不明白的事情放到一边,谨慎地说出那些真正懂得的,就能少犯错误;多观察,不明白的就保留心中,谨慎地实行那些真正懂得的,就能减少事后懊悔。言语少犯错误,行动很少后悔,自然就有官职俸禄了。”
【启发】
1. 孔子对做官这件事的态度基本概括为: 明哲保身。也普遍反应了当今整个官场的现状。比如核算天天检,绿码处处亮。就是官员谨小慎微,怕担责,明哲保身的做派。
2. 所以我特不喜欢做官,哈哈,因为我也做不了官。我喜欢言多失多,有话说话,管你那么多。
仓央嘉措曾经说过:一个人需要隐藏多少秘密才能巧妙地度过一生。
以前我感觉这句话有点意思,现在觉得这句话特没意思。干嘛要隐藏,我没什么好隐藏的,我只想活出自己的高度。
A disciple was studying with a view to preferment.
Confucius : Read and learn everything,but suspend your judgment on anything of which you are in doubt;for the rest,be careful in what you say:in that way you will give few occasions for men to criticize what you say.Mix with the world and see everything,but keep away and do not meddle with anything which may bring you into trouble;for the rest,be careful in what you do:in that way you will have few occasions for self-reproach.
Now if in your conversation you give few occasions for men to criticise you,and in your conduct you have few occasions for self-reproach,you cannot help getting preferment,even if you would.
