Winchen corporate culture: some things should be hidden and not revealed - that is called maturity, called depth; some things however must be revealed and not hidden - not only should they be seen, they must be held high like a flag, and ideally become one of your symbols, a synonym for your identity. The so-called cards you play are cards meant for others to see; such cards must be big, upright, able to explain the matter, and able to impress people so that they give a thumbs-up as soon as they hear it - hence they are called trump cards. There are seven trump cards essential for smooth success in both character and dealings, to help you get through life and work smoothly.

The first trump card: Being reliable——the golden signboard of character

Reliability is a quality of character and also a kind of wisdom; more than that, it is a golden signboard of character. Only by being reliable can one be trusted; only by being trusted can one gain opportunities; only with opportunities can one display and exercise one's abilities; only with abilities can one build a career -- this is the inevitable path of survival and development, applicable to any era.

Everyone wants to stand out and do something great, but whether a person can achieve great things is determined by many factors. Among them, being reliable and trusted everywhere is a crucial foundation, and a person who does not keep their word, is irresponsible in their work and does not honor their promises cannot pass this test.

The second trump card: Broad-mindedness——Only those who can accommodate others can accommodate the world

People differ from one another and matters differ from one another; it is impossible for everyone to match our preferences and for everything to go as we wish. But life must go on, and we still have to interact with people and handle affairs every day. The only way to resolve this contradiction is to learn tolerance. Only by accommodating others can one get along with people, and ultimately accommodate the world.

Broad-mindedness is a measure of character and also a great awakening after cultivation. Seeking common ground while reserving differences is an unchanging law of survival. Knowing how to tolerate others is in fact being kind to yourself.

Broad-mindedness is an overall reflection of a person's mindset and style of dealing with the world; no one dislikes dealing with such a person. Such people are always surrounded by popularity.

The third trump card: Being good at forming bonds——Only by being flexible on all sides can everything go smoothly

Having many friends allows mutual help and common development; the more friends you have, the more paths you can choose, the smoother and faster things get done, and the greater the chance of success. Making fewer enemies means suffering less vicious resistance and damage and reducing many unnecessary troubles.

Being good at forming bonds and making more friends, weaving a solid"network of relationships", allows you to gather your connections, making you feel at ease in dealing with people and flexible in handling affairs, with a smooth life and everything going your way.

The fourth trump card: Generous yet shrewd——Be generous in character and shrewd in handling affairs

Generosity is not dullness or stupidity, not being inflexible or single-minded; generosity is a practical great wisdom in dealing with people and the world. It is a trump card that makes people convinced and willing to associate with you, and the"magnet"by which we gather connections and gain opportunities. Being shrewd is not playing tricks or showing off petty cleverness, still less using petty tricks to harm others; being shrewd is a necessary means of solving problems so that both sides benefit and achieve a"win-win". True shrewdness should be reflected in the result rather than the process; it is something others feel comfortable with but cannot see.

The fifth trump card: High aspirations——Aim high; being angry is not as good as striving

As the saying goes, people strive for a breath of dignity and Buddhas strive for a stick of incense. When we see others achieving fame and success, with luxury cars, villas and generous incomes, what should we do? Being envious and angry is useless; that way there will never be a chance to surpass others. There is no free lunch in the world; other people's great wealth and riches did not fall from the sky either. Being angry is not as good as striving; believe in yourself - if others can do it, so can we. Turn excitement into action; only by aiming high can one achieve something.

The sixth trump card: Being easy to work with——Seek common ground while reserving differences; going it alone rarely succeeds

Being easy to work with is not simply being agreeable and good-tempered, but a survival strategy and art of complementing strengths and seeking common ground while reserving differences. Being easy to work with allows harmonious coexistence with others and builds the foundation for cooperation, and is also the inevitable choice for achieving great things.

Cooperation has become an inevitable requirement of social development. That kind of individual heroism that wants to succeed by relying on one's own strength and going it alone no longer fits the pace of the times; not cooperating with others, or not knowing how to cooperate with others, makes great success impossible.

The seventh trump card: Getting things done——A person needs some real skills

Relying on heaven, on earth or on connections is not as good as relying on yourself. A person cannot be all show; only with real skills and the ability to get things done can one gain a firm foothold in society. Everything will change, but only genuine ability and learning cannot be taken away by others. There is also no need to worry about bad luck. When there is no opportunity we can hide our talents and bide our time while serving others; at that time we are a valuable “hot commodity”; when an opportunity is seized we can immediately rise with the momentum, and then even if we wanted to stop we could not.
