A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Accompany Runbao to wait for Yiyi at the school gate.

It has been raining for several days, and there are several small puddles at the school gate. Runbao wants to play with water and circle around the puddle. I thought to myself: I look at him, as long as he wants to play with water, I will take him away and nothing will happen. However, the incident happened unexpectedly fast. He slipped in a puddle between lightning and stone fire, and I haven't had time to do anything.

I have read a story before:

A boss wants to recruit a driver and three drivers to apply, but the boss only needs one driver. So the boss asked them a question: On the edge of the cliff, how many meters away from the cliff can you guarantee safety?

The first driver said: 5 meters.

The second driver is not to be outdone: 3 meters.

The third driver said, I don't know how far I can drive from the cliff, but I won't drive to such a dangerous place.

Finally, the boss chose the third driver, because what he needed was a driver who could ensure his safety, not a driver who showed off his driving skills.

Confucius said: prevent disasters first, not later. Be cautious in knowing and doing. A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall and should not be taken lightly.

It means: nip in the bud, you won't regret it, don't act rashly when you know the danger. A gentleman should not put himself in danger, but learn to protect himself.

However, there are always people who are pretentious, think they are very powerful, have the ability to turn the tide, turn a blind eye to the danger or think highly of themselves knowing it.

There is a line in the Master of Magic Way: Some things are beyond your control.

Even if a person really has the ability to penetrate the earth, the moment he can't reach it is often one in ten thousand chances that he can't reach it, and your life will be completely rewritten.

So people, believing in themselves is a good thing, and blind self-confidence will only put themselves in danger.
