There is a word called ‘ulterior motives’, which is mostly used to describe people who are not kind enough and who plot others behind their backs. In fact, this word also tells us a truth, that is, no matter who you associate with, you can’t really see other people’s hearts. Those who smile at you may have ulterior motives; those who come to you to complain may be better off than you. Happier, he is just pretending to be himself.
The hardest thing in the world to see clearly is the human heart. But there is a kind of person who is good at thinking, guessing other people’s thoughts, and also uses good strategies to protect his own interests. Such people are very scheming, always seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and are always difficult to see through.
People who are very scheming try every means to curry favor with people who are more powerful than themselves, hoping to gain benefits from others. The characteristic of ‘following others’ influence’ is very obvious. For example, when a restaurant owner meets the owner of a big restaurant, he takes the initiative to treat the guests to dinner and gives gifts to others. He hopes to ‘alliance’ with others through the dinner party, or to take other people’s words from the dinner party and find other people’s weaknesses, so that he can severely attack others in the future competition process.
A very scheming person will be arrogant and arrogant when meeting a weak person; when meeting a strong person, he will nod and bow down, or even kneel down to beg for help, without caring about dignity at all. His fundamental purpose in doing this is to scheme against others and find ways to gain benefits.
Do you recognize what kind of person you are? Is he a person who is very sophisticated and good at sociability, or is he a person who has no ambition and has nothing to do? Are you a magnanimous, honest and loyal person, or a narrow-minded and stingy person?
