What are the traditional virtues of China? We say this man is very traditional. What does this tradition mean?

Emphasize a few points:

1. The traditional virtue of China people is gentleness and kindness, which will always be the best moral character in the world. Some people say that people are good at being bullied, which is wrong. Being bullied is cowardice, not kindness. Be clear. We are nobler than Americans, because when we were strong, we didn't oppress other countries.

2. People in China have different qualities, so we can't simply judge whether they are good or not. Everyone should be responsible for the image of the nation, and doing well by himself means doing well for the nation.

China people have many problems, especially now, they are in the famine period of spiritual civilization, which is caused by the Cultural Revolution and the long-term ignorance policy. Most people no longer know how to think, only how to believe.

Those who advocate elite rule and fools rule, please go to hell.

China people feel inferior in the eyes of a personnel manager.

I worked in a biotechnology company for four years. Before that, I worked in the market. Last year, my boss transferred me to the human resources department as a manager. One year's experience in personnel work has given me a deeper understanding of human nature, and I have a lot of regrets and helplessness about the bad habits of China people (including myself). The reason why it is magnified to say that it is the inferiority of China people is because I believe that many of the characteristics I mentioned below are common in China, and the probability of occurrence is higher than that of our good countries. I am a native of China, and I don't want to belittle my nation, but I feel that after this hundred years of turmoil, especially the ten-year Cultural Revolution, education has indeed been distorted and delayed, and the overall quality of the people is at a very low level. What I say below is to expose the scars of China people as well as their own, but I believe that only when a person and a nation are brave enough to face up to their own shortcomings and mistakes will there be opportunities for progress and strength.

First, people look down on each other.

People in China don't despise each other, but all people despise each other. As long as they want to despise others, there is always a reason to despise each other. For example, Beijingers look down on foreigners, Shanghainese look down on foreigners, city dwellers look down on rural people, southerners look down on northerners, rich people look down on the poor, drivers look down on walking, walking looks down on sweeping roads, eating and cooking … that is, they don't respect each other.

In the enterprise, the master looks down on the undergraduate course, the undergraduate course looks down on the junior college, the junior college looks down on the secondary school, and the prestigious school looks down on the non-prestigious school (damn it! What are the famous schools in China? ), cadres despise staff, staff despise workers. What is even more funny is that those who study science look down on those who study liberal arts, those who study liberal arts look down on those who study science, those who study marketing look down on those who study technology, and those who study technology look down on those who study marketing. I'm not just saying that. I often hear such nonsense as "the level of their technical department is not good enough to solve any quality problems" and "the quality of their marketing staff is too low and they have no basic product knowledge". They all come from the same company. Others can't help. What problem can you solve by standing there and saying sarcastic words?

To tell the truth, in a company, they all come out to work. Who is taller than who? Besides, everyone is carrying rice bowls. We are all from China. The Americans bombed our embassy, but the Japanese refused to return the Diaoyu Islands. Even Hong Kong people call us "big circle kids". What reason do we have to despise our compatriots? A nation without compassion will never be a great nation. Every time I see those people who are full and shy and arrogant and scold waiters, and those pseudo-white-collar workers in our company with thousands of RMB (equivalent to hundreds of dollars) in their hands, I feel that I have suddenly become a middle-class, ignorant little idiot and feel that this country is hopeless.

I remember when I was studying, the total score should be accurate to two decimal places in every big exam, and then I ranked according to the score, so I chose my seat according to the ranking, so I despised the person sitting in front, and the teacher even said, "If you sit in front, don't play in the back!" It is estimated that the bad habit of belittling others in China was formed at that time.

Second, lack of team spirit.

Everyone is light, and natural sciences will not cooperate with each other. Coupled with selfishness, narrow vision and short-sightedness, China people are very lacking in team spirit in enterprises.

I recently conducted a performance appraisal in the company, and some department managers were very upset, because once they calculated, the bonus would be reduced and they would be assessed by the company, so some people spoke ill of them behind their backs, some made a big noise at the meeting, some ignored them and made various gestures. A colleague asked me, "It's not that serious. Is it not a performance appraisal? It's just a system. The system itself is not complicated, but it harms the personal interests of some people, so this matter becomes complicated. These managers will not say that their bonuses have decreased, but that their bonuses have decreased and their risks have increased, or they will provoke employees' hostility to the system to put pressure on me. So a very simple thing becomes very complicated.

People in China seldom put team interests above personal interests. In fact, in an enterprise, team interests and personal interests are together. Good company, good everyone. When the company goes bankrupt, individuals can't get a few months' salary. Foreigners respect personal values very much, but they follow the principle that individuals obey the whole in enterprises and organizations, which is a correct understanding of enterprises. Therefore, professional managers in China are actually unprofessional, that is, they have no team spirit and put individuals or departments above the whole organization. The speakers at the meeting were our marketing department, their technology department, their logistics department and their finance department. It doesn't sound like a company, but it sounds hostile. I remember once a manager asked me "Your company …" about the salary of employees in his department, and I asked "Who are we?" ? Who is the company? "He suddenly froze.

On the first day of kindergarten, Americans came back and asked, "What did you do for other children today?" "What did you do for the teacher?" ..... This is to cultivate the sense of cooperation and team spirit from an early age. I guess China's parents might ask, "Did you drink milk today?" (Worried that the child didn't drink) "Are you good in kindergarten today?" (I'm afraid of being beaten) ... So China people have been taught to emphasize self-interest rather than cooperation since childhood. Gatorade's advertising slogan "I have, I can" in NBA was copied by domestic enterprises, so things like "I choose, I like" and "I exercise, I am happy" abound. In fact, there is a very prominent "self" thought in it. I don't understand why we China people always do things that are overcorrected, either by dehumanizing people and engaging in productism, or by exaggerating western personal values to the point of extreme selfishness. Whether a society, an enterprise or an organization is good or not should be all for me and all for me. If we don't cooperate, we are selfish. If we all emphasize ourselves and ignore others, this country will not progress. If there is a war, everyone will be conquered again.

Without team spirit, the internal friction of enterprises will be more. In our company, 40% of working time is to solve internal friction, because there are too many frictions between departments and individuals. So I feel that companies with tens of thousands of foreigners are well managed, and hundreds of people in our China enterprises are like scattered sand. This is not a question of management system or management means, but a question of culture. This is the history of China people. They always like to boo from the inside, and once they fight with outsiders, it's over. If you are too selfish, you will not take care of the overall situation, you will not compromise when you study, and you will quarrel every day, and the enterprise will be finished in such internal friction.

Third, doubt and dishonesty.

As a personnel manager, it is inevitable to communicate with people frequently. I find people in our company especially dishonest. Everyone is always suspicious of each other. I often hear such words as "I know that he thinks so of me …" "He must have spoken ill of me in front of my boss …" "I don't want to get into trouble …". Don't tell the truth in front of people, but speak ill of me later. As a result, the market problems and production problems of enterprises have become interpersonal problems, and simple problems have become complicated.

China people have been taught not to trust others since childhood. When they are in middle school, they will play politics. Just now they were playing football together, and then they turned to the teacher to report it. My junior high school class teacher arranges people to write discipline supervision reports in turn every day. China people live in the sun, and this is how they are educated.

Dishonesty is also a bad habit formed from childhood. My mother taught me not to lie since I was a child, but she didn't do it herself. The neighbor came to borrow oil, but she clearly said no. She promised to buy me a bike after I graduated from primary school, but she didn't. She often takes the public battery home. Therefore, people in China are playing tricks, because neither family education nor school education has taught this lesson well. Into the enterprise, not honest with colleagues, not honest with the boss, not honest with customers. When I first became a personnel manager, many people told me that the personnel manager was the mouthpiece of the boss, and this position had only a dead end. Don't do this! I have worked for a year and found that there is nothing serious wrong with the boss, but they are naturally suspicious of the boss and don't tell the truth in front of him. So I created an illusion and I believed it. Interpersonal contradictions in enterprises are all caused in this way.

When we deal with foreigners, they will point out problems in person, no matter how embarrassing, but this does not prevent him from talking and laughing with you at dinner. Therefore, foreigners may have 10 sounds at the meeting, but only 1 sounds after the meeting; China people have a meeting, and no one speaks at the meeting, but there may be 10 voices after the meeting. At the end of the meeting, our boss usually asks, "What else do you think?" There was silence. As soon as I got out of the meeting room, I ran to the door of my office and held a departmental meeting. Shit.

Whether in a society or an enterprise, the lower the integrity, the higher the operating cost. China people only trust those who are related to them, and it is difficult to trust others. Actually, it is a sign that our society is not civilized enough.

Fourth, contempt for the system.

On my first day as a personnel manager, my boss told me that your biggest task is to institutionalize the management of the company. I didn't quite understand it at first, but later I understood the boss's painstaking efforts. The company has many rules, but few people follow them. There are two problems: one is that the system design itself is flawed, and the other is that there is no concept of system in employees' consciousness.

China people are very clever, but somehow they just can't figure out the "system" (including its design and compliance). I study law. I have always believed that the reason why the United States is so powerful today is that the system and system for managing the country were designed at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, so that everyone can build with peace of mind. The system design of westerners can sometimes be described as "exquisite", and the implementation of the system is almost unremarkable in our view. The cleverness of China people is that no matter what system, it can be avoided, distorted and transformed until it is equal to zero.

After I took office, I established an attendance system, stipulating that the first time I was late, I was deducted 10 yuan, and I was absent from work for three times in 40 yuan (because the company was very late). As a result, after the system came out, I saw that some employees were late for three times. I felt that the punishment for absenteeism was too heavy and my heart was softened. I said to the employees, "I am late for the third time and ask for personal leave. Personal leave is better than absenteeism, so don't be late next time "(this is my first violation of the system). As a result, there are still employees who are late three times next month. At first, I was late for personal leave, and later I was sick (because the money deducted from sick leave was less). Later, they called in sick every time they were late. Later, they didn't even have a leave note, so they just made a phone call ... I learned this lesson, reflected that the flood was caused by putting the gate on myself, and issued a notice: "Those who are late are not allowed to make up the leave." It is not allowed to ask for leave afterwards. Employees who are late will ask for leave one day in advance, regardless of the manager. At that time, I thought of what Kangxi said to Wei Xiaobao in Duke of Lushan: "If Ao Bai forces me to take a step, I will take a step back. I really can't retire! " . Finally, there was nothing I could do. I announced that "no one is allowed to ask for leave if he is late". In the month of implementation, a female employee was late for three times, and I informed her that she was absent from work. She was so wronged that she was about to cry: "I have never missed a class since I was a child, and now I am actually absent from work." You can ask manager XX that I was late that day because … ",and the last sentence is" Does the company emphasize humanized management? ! "I insisted on being unmoved and thought that I was just too human, which led to such a big mistake.

One attendance system is so difficult to implement, let alone other systems. Since I took office, I have implemented institutionalized management, and the bitterness is not enough for outsiders. Many employees secretly say that I am the boss's supervisor. In order to please the boss and sacrifice the interests of the masses, it is really more unjust than Due. The number of enterprises has changed from 40 to 200, the management radius has increased, and the conflict of values has increased. Without a unified system, it will become a mess. And our managers are used to managing by feeling, others are not used to managing by system, and employees are not used to managing by system, so they despise the system wholeheartedly.

My mother's youngest brother, my little brother, was hanging out at the age of eighteen or nineteen and often caused trouble. He was arrested by the police nine times in three years, three times a year on average, and then my mother successfully rescued him every time. When something happens to him, my mother will look for relationships everywhere (I think she has a treasure trove of relationships in that city), such as which lover is from the criminal police team and which brother-in-law is from the public security bureau. When the gift is ready, my husband, who is a tramp, comes out proudly. So, I have this idea since I was a child. I have to find connections in everything I do, and I am not afraid of breaking the law.

The year before last, my little brother was sentenced to seven years, and he was 40 years old when he came out. I guess he's basically ruined in his life. I think it's because he used to despise the legal system of the country under my mother's fart. Therefore, the system determines habits, habits determine character, and character determines fate.

Fifth, political sensitivity is too high.

When I talk to employees in the company, I usually end up saying, "What I told you today is just the thing itself, nothing else", which sounds a bit evasive. Why do you say that? Because they are very sensitive. If you say what he needs to improve, he will think about whether the company will fire him; If you ask them whether the workload of their department is saturated, he will think whether the company will fire him; If you ask him if he has any plans to continue his studies recently, he will think whether the company will fire him. He may not care what you tell him at all, but spend a long time thinking about why you fired him.

China enterprises have a lot of internal friction. One reason is that the cost of telling the truth is too high. Everyone likes to guess and doesn't trust each other. Originally, it was just a problem at work, and it had to rise to the political level, so I didn't tell the truth. For example, if I say to a manager, "You have a problem with this matter," he may think that I don't like him and take it personally. Then he will think about why I don't like him. Did he invite me last time without calling me? Finally, I will find a reason to cause misunderstanding.

There is a story about a man who went to his neighbor's house to borrow an axe, but he felt that his neighbor had some problems with him and he didn't know whether to lend it to him. So he walked and thought, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Finally, he ran to the neighbor's door and said, "You don't need to borrow my axe!" " I won't beg you! "

I am a typical "reserved" person. I like to keep some things in my heart and not say them directly. I think this is caring for others' emotions, a kind of cultivation, and actually a mistake. I once hated one of my subordinates to the extreme. For a time, I wanted to fire him every day, and the idea became more and more entangled like a poisonous snake. But I forced myself to do two things: first, look at my problem from his point of view; The second is to have a frank exchange of views with him. As a result, the two of them spread out and said that there were only a few things, and everyone still had a chance to continue cooperation. As a result, there is today's * * *.

So now I force myself to tell the truth, at least I have a chance to clarify the misunderstanding, not to mention no chance.

China people's political sensitivity is too high, which is mostly left over from the Cultural Revolution, and then there is a unique hint from the East. I'm not saying it's not good to be reserved, but I just want to run naked in the street like a foreigner, but if I go too far, it will seem a bit stingy and dark. In fact, if you don't trust each other, you will live very tired. If you are tired, others will be tired. Where are there so many overtones? Practicality is over.

Falling in love can make simple things a little more complicated, and it can be done a thousand times. The same is true of running a business, which will affect efficiency. China people are afraid of this situation in enterprises. They are too cautious and often complicate simple things. In fact, to put it bluntly, people are very simple, and they all grow up eating whole grains. How can it be so terrible? You are afraid of me, I am afraid of you, and I am afraid of each other.

The political flavor in the enterprise is too strong, which has something to do with the boss. If the boss is too controlling and takes pleasure in dominating professional managers with higher education than him, then this enterprise is likely to become the imperial court in the Qing dynasty drama, and infighting is a pleasure. Private enterprises in China are all engaged in this, so it won't last long.

No environment is completely pure and political behavior is normal. Where there are people, there will be politics, but it should be controlled at an appropriate level. Too much political behavior will damage integrity.

Six, make a "gentleman" mistake

There are not many real bad guys in this world, just as there are not many real good guys. China people like to judge a person's corporate behavior by the vague moral standards of "good guys" and "bad guys". If the company wants to fire someone, some employees will say, "He is very nice. Why did the company fire him? "

Please, if you can only fire "bad guys", please tell me where the "bad guys" are.

I never think there are bad people among the employees in our company. I only judge whether he is a qualified entrepreneur. If he is having an affair or is gay, it is a matter of his values and sexual orientation, which cannot be used to judge his value to the company. If it is not valuable to the company, I won't take Lei Feng.

I stipulate in the company's performance appraisal system that 5% of employees in each department must be rated as unqualified every year. In fact, I originally set 65,438+00%. Later, all managers opposed it and had to lower the standard. Even if it is 5%, managers are unwilling to implement it. They said to me, "If all the employees in my department are qualified, you must score 5%. What should I do? I have to arrange for employees to take turns to do this work. " They speak with confidence because they think they are gentlemen and worthy of their brothers.

My answer is: "The elimination rate of GE is 20%. Do you think the employees in our company are better than those in General Electric? "

10 Nine of the real mistakes were made by gentlemen, such as the Cultural Revolution, Stalin and the Xiao Uprising. Little people don't have much chance to make mistakes. People in China often give a wrong definition of "gentleman" and then use it to cover up the truth. It is definitely a good thing for a manager to be a "gentleman" and show goodwill to employees on the premise of meeting the interests of the organization, but if he shows goodwill to employees against the interests of the organization, then this "gentleman" is not only worthless, but also tantamount to a crime.

For example, law is the lowest moral standard, but it is a clear line. You can do better on this line, but not offline. Therefore, foreigners talk about "legal feelings" and put the law first, but this is not what we learned in middle school textbooks: "In a decadent capitalist society, there is only naked money relations, and there is no warmth ..." They just define human nature as "evil" first, and then use laws and systems to prevent it; When people in China talk about "managing the law", they first define human nature as "goodness" and then punish it afterwards. As a result, we don't abide by the law, and the human touch is getting weaker and weaker. Hospitals can watch patients die, and pedestrians can stand on the street and watch gangsters kill people.

Foreigners can implement flexible working hours system because their employees are more active and self-disciplined, and "receiving the boss's salary and being responsible for the boss" is the basic professional ethics, just like in some streets abroad, drivers press the traffic lights themselves because compliance with the system has been integrated into the blood of each of them; I believe that 90% of domestic enterprises will die miserably if they engage in flexible working hours. Drivers in China dare to run a red light. If you let him press the traffic light himself, he will keep pressing the green light until the day when he doesn't drive.

Why is it difficult for domestic enterprises to do a good job in performance appraisal? Because China people like to be bad guys and don't want to make negative comments on others, performance appraisal can't go on. In fact, behind being a "gentleman", the hidden essence is that our managers lack self-confidence and are afraid that negative comments on subordinates will cause subordinates to fight back.

Seven, pass the buck

The manager of our company always complains that the boss has no authorization and the power to manage employees is too small. But when they are really in trouble, they will give the question to the boss: "What do you think?"

These managers don't think he earns more than employees and has more power than employees, so the problem should stop with him, otherwise what does the boss want you to do as a manager? However, they always separate power from responsibility. Power means taking more money and managing more people. They never thought that power and responsibility are equal, and how much responsibility you have.

In our company, personnel and financial work are not easy to do, because these two departments exercise their functions and powers on behalf of the company and are most likely to be "changed hands" by managers. When you ask them about things normally, the manager will resent it and think that you have violated his one-acre three-point land and challenged his power; However, when employees ask for a raise and the budget is cut, they will say, "I agree with your raise, but the personnel department doesn't agree!" " ""I agree to spend this money, but the finance department disagrees! ".In fact, we made the decision together with them, but when there was a problem, they didn't communicate with the employees and put the responsibility and contradiction on us.

A potential psychological consciousness of shirking responsibility is that you can't see your own problems. There is an old saying in China: "Know yourself and know yourself, and you will be invincible", which means that a person can know everything except himself, except himself. Well said. So when our company engaged in training, everyone was very excited, as if they were awakened, but once we returned to work, the mistakes we made continued to be made. Because he analyzed all the problems that the teacher said at the training meeting, it is naturally the responsibility of others if there is a problem.

Destroying the environment is the most shirking responsibility of China enterprises. Enterprises get a profit of 1 yuan at the expense of the environment, and perhaps our descendants can't make up for it with the price of 100 yuan. Therefore, the implementation of ISO 14000 (Environmental Management System) certification by foreigners is a standard on the surface, but it is actually a commitment of enterprises to protect the environment and a sense of social responsibility that enterprises should bear. Our enterprise shirks its responsibility to society, how can we ask employees to be responsible for the enterprise?

Eight. Lack of inclusiveness

There is a saying that a person's achievement depends on how big his mind is. When I became a personnel manager, I was deeply touched by this sentence.

Our company has a department manager who has made great contributions to the company in the early days of its establishment, and the company has been trying to cultivate him. But his heart and eyes are particularly small, and his selfishness is particularly heavy, and there is no tolerance. This is a fatal flaw. He almost always understands everything from his own standpoint. For example, he thinks that his superior (director) is not as good as him, but the year-end award is higher than him, which makes him unbearable, so he often goes to the boss to speak ill of his superior. I told him that if someone else can be your superior, he must have his advantages. Even if others have problems, you should reach an understanding and understanding with them. The reason is simple: you work for a goal, and he is your superior. But today, he is still stubbornly looking for every opportunity to attack his superiors. There is a saying in organizational behavior that "ass decides brain", which is egoism, and his brain is completely controlled by ass (personal position).

I once joked with my boss and commented that he "lost all martial arts and meridians", which meant that he had basically lost his educational significance and was hopeless. No matter how enthusiastic and competent you are, you can't reach a higher management position. This is "character determines fate". I even concluded that he would never succeed in his life. At least one statement can prove it: he is 33 years old and has no girlfriend.

Getting along with people you don't like or don't like yourself is a great test of your mind. People who do great things are supported by their opponents, just as Li Ao said, "A man's heart is supported by a woman". Gao Wen, president of Motorola, likes sailing, and Wang Shi, president of Vanke, likes climbing mountains. These are all for practicing the mind. When people face the sea and mountains, their hearts will naturally open up, even more open-minded. Therefore, I have always advised employees to think more about life outside work, see more about the world and learn more. The old nest is in the office, how can you get up when you are doing what you are doing? If something happens, it's urgent.

We carry out family planning and the population is controlled, but on the other hand, the only child will lose the opportunity to test his tolerance from an early age. People have to be in an environment to encounter contradictions, but they have to constantly encounter contradictions in their lives. Without the spirit of tolerance, you jump when things are unfavorable to you. How do they cooperate with others? How to solve the contradiction? Therefore, China people's lack of team spirit is also related to inclusiveness.

Nine, the lack of culture

Expanding inclusiveness is a culture. The culture created by human beings includes scientific and technological culture and humanistic culture, which have developed instrumental rationality and value rationality respectively. I'm talking about the latter here.

I once saw such a case: a China man worked in a multinational company in China and had the opportunity to be the CEO of a branch overseas. As a result, the company gave the opportunity to a foreigner who he thought was inferior in professional skills and academic background. He went to ask the boss, and the boss said: Because the company thinks that this foreigner has a higher humanistic quality and a more open mind, when he went to a different country and faced the conflict of different cultures and values, he needed to integrate all kinds of cultures and values to achieve the company's goals, which is far more important than skills.

This case gave me a deep inspiration.

I always thought that China basically had no culture after the May 4th Movement, and even lost all the previous cultures during the Cultural Revolution. In fact, there are many good things in China's Confucian culture. As a result, instead of carrying it forward, we were carried forward by Singapore, South Korea and, worst of all, Japan.

Perhaps China people were afraid of poverty and finally caught up with the reform and opening up, so utilitarianism was a bit excessive. Many professional managers around them arm themselves with various certificates and MBA degrees, hoping to become economic animals one by one. When it comes to work, they are experts, but they just don't get along with others. I chatted with my colleagues in a company the other day. He said that he hadn't read a novel for six years after graduating from college.

China people like formalism and think that promoting culture is hardware, such as organizing several art festivals, building several ancient temples and finding some monks to recite scriptures. When people take a long vacation, they walk around in the sea of people and think they are literate. In fact, culture is not these materialized things, it is a spiritual force, and it is people-oriented. Poverty is not an excuse for not wanting culture, because it will be poorer without culture. Enterprises in China can't do it for long, and technology and management are just appearances. The real reason is the lack of entrepreneurship and corporate culture. Others have been engaged in the market economy and enterprises for more than 0/00 years, and that kind of cultural tradition and background is a kind of temperament, which can not be learned by painting heavy makeup. At present, some domestic enterprises have to recite cultural manuals compiled by enterprises as soon as they engage in military training. That's not corporate culture, but forced brainwashing.

Talk to employees in China about cultural literacy and humanistic care. Most of them think you are sick. They will say that the company has a bad atmosphere, poor communication and weak execution, but they will not think that this is a cultural reason. Entrepreneurs in China forget their roots and become arrogant as soon as they get rich. They want to write books, hold forums, drive luxury cars, live in luxury houses, keep mistresses and scold the police, but they never want to give back to the society, which is also the lack of culture.

Education and skills are the hardware standards to measure a person, but what really determines a person's fate is his software, his personality and attitude, and his culture. Therefore, foreigners pay more attention to "communication skills", "team spirit" and "psychological endurance" when recruiting employees, which means that they pay more attention to a person's internal quality, which is the key to determining personal value.

Conclusion: The article not only comes from life, but also transcends it. You don't need to use this article to question my mentality as a personnel manager. Since it is a network, everyone needs what they want, and there is no need to read words and make sense. Speaking of the solutions to the problems listed in this article, I think understanding the problem is the first step to solve the problem, and perhaps the answer lies in the problem. Finally, I'd like to end with a passage I like very much. I * * * encourage you:

"No one is an island, self-contained; Everyone is a part of this vast continent. If the waves wash away a clod, there will be less in Europe; If a cape, if your friend or your own manor is washed away, the same is true. Anyone's death makes me lose, because I was conceived in human beings. So ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for you. "
