1. 诸葛亮告诉他：曹操在北方的势力已经无法撼动，不能与曹操争锋，孙权在江东的实力也已经稳如磐石，我们可以把他作为外援，但是却不能够谋图他的领地。荆州是块好地方，物资丰富，交通便利，我们可以拿下。益州更是天府之国，人口殷实，易守难攻，我们也可以拿下。

1. Zhuge Liang told him: Cao Cao's power in the north can no longer be shaken, and we cannot compete with him. Sun Quan's strength in the East China Sea has also become as stable as a rock. We can treat him as an external ally, but we cannot plot to seize his territory. Jingzhou is a good place, rich in resources, and conveniently accessible, which we can capture. Yizhou is an even more splendid land, with a prosperous population, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which we can also conquer.

2. 一个成功的人必须拥有两大素质，一个是自己的专业能力，一个是和其他人链接的能力，后者往往是前者的放大器。

2. A successful person must possess two major qualities: one is their professional skills, and the other is their ability to connect with others, which often acts as an amplifier for the former.

3. 有多大胃口就吃多少饭，有多大的本事就干多少活，有多大的力气就挑多大的担子。一切都要量力而行。如果不甘心，有抱负，想突围，就要潜心修炼自己，千方百计夯实和提升自己的能力，有本事了，才会拥有那一种从容不迫的底气。

3. Eat as much as you can eat, do as much work as you can handle, and carry as heavy a burden as you can manage. Everything should be done according to one's strength. If you are not content, if you have ambitions, and if you want to break through, you need to diligently cultivate yourself, do everything in your power to strengthen and enhance your abilities. Only when you are capable will you possess that calm and composed confidence.

4. 比如天生一个傻蛋，你让他做一个企业负责人，他不会给企业创造任何价值，还可能造成无法挽回的后果。再比如，一个智力短缺的人，你把他送进最好的学校深造，他也不可能成为栋梁之才。

4. For example, if a person is naturally dumb, when you make him a corporate leader, he won't create any value for the company and may even cause irreversible consequences. For another example, if a person has a mental deficiency, sending him to the best school for further study won't enable him to become a pillar of the state.

8. Liu Bei was hailed as a formidable figure by his contemporaries, but from the age of 28, he had been repeatedly defeated in battles, running from place to place, living under others' roofs, and experiencing upheaval and displacement, almost losing his faith in life. Later, he met Zhuge Liang, under whose guidance, he found the correct path for development, and from then on, he soared in success, defeating all opponents in a series of victories, quickly acquiring Jingzhou and Yizhou, securing one-third of the realm and accomplishing his ambition to establish a kingdom.

12. Everyone wants to hold the thunder and lightning in their hands, to command the elements, and everyone wants to stand at the top of the pyramid, looking down on the world below. If one doesn't have the ability to do so, even if someone helps you climb up, you will not be able to stand firm or sit still, and you will only fall from a great height, ending in a惨烈 manner.

Prof. Wen Tiejun said: "In today's society, it's not much to be happy about getting into university, it's just a delay of 4 years in unemployment. The majority of college graduates are not much different from high school or junior college students, and even some are worse off, but we often don't want to admit this reality.

15. 和诸葛亮相比，刘备缺乏的就是认知能力。他一直在乱糟糟的时局之中南征北战，看不到问题的本质，也就找不到自己清晰的行动路线图。
