每週金句-No.035 古云:「蝮蛇口中草,蠍子尾後針,二者皆不毒,最怕兩心人。」人與人相處,貴在真誠,而非互謀其利。

古云:「蝮蛇口中草,蠍子尾後針,二者皆不毒,最怕兩心人。」人與人相處,貴在真誠,而非互謀其利。

古人說:蝮蛇的毒牙、蠍子的尾針,兩個都是毒物,但都毒不過人前人後兩樣貌的有心人。有道是,人心隔肚皮,若人與人之間的相處,無法以誠、信為基礎,而是以「利」為出發,則一旦遇到挑戰時,就很難把持住自己的良知,也沒辦法把格局做大,久而久之,寸步難行。

As the old saying goes, “The grass in the mouth of a viper and the needle in the tail of a scorpion are not poisonous; the most fearful one is actually a two-hearted man.” The most importance thing in a person’s dealing with others is to act sincerely instead of each one’s furthering his own interest.
