《韩非子》说赛马的妙法,在于“不为最先,不耻最后”。这虽是我们这些外行人看起来,也觉得很有理。因为假若一开头便拼命奔驰,则马力易竭。但那第一句是只适用于赛马的,不幸中国人却把它奉为为人处世的金箴。 “Han Feizi” said that the trick of horse racing is “not to be the first, not to be shameful”. Although this is what we lay people look like, it also makes sense. Because if they were desperately running at the beginning, the horse would be exhausted. However, the first sentence was only applicable to horse races. Unfortunately, the Chinese people regarded it as a gold medal for human life.
