Everybody often calls deal career, often hear " what career do you make? " this word is wrong! Deal cannot be a career.
The definition of the career, in " the department is passed " in told us very clearly. What be? "Lift and below Zhu Tian civilian, calling career. " we this one person, a business is done in living lifetime, have meritorious service forever to world mankind, forever the interest gives a family, this ability makes a career, it is the value of life. Say the most commonly, above highest to the emperor, below most pour lintel to beg for food, mix when the emperor doing beggar is not a career, that is a profession. Other the pupil teacher it may not be a bad idea that you teach class of it may not be a bad idea, take lessons after school when it may not be a bad idea of prime minister in feudal China, minister it may not be a bad idea, university... that is a profession, not be a career. Everybody wants to clear up, look for a job to make money have a meal, or dozen famous degree... that does not make a career. Say to go up truly of the career, of all ages does not have a few people.
So Confucius highly praises great undertaking, point to namely Monarch Yao, Shun, the reputed founder of the Ix Dynasty, soup, article, fierce the career that wait. In us the achievement on the history is the greatest is big Yu Wang. We this ancestor, turn the Chinese nation into agricultural state, established us to establish national base. His pay, his effort, his achievement, it is a career. Accordingly he is all ages place to adore, its result never can be done not have. This kind of ability makes a career. Other people, the business is done again well, make money again much, you should explain a cause, that is very far still.
I often tell to everybody: The career is forever. Do not say the Ming Junxian look on foreign history, it is the history of our China, can you sign up for reach the name of 20 emperors? Newspaper newspaper looks! Come thousands of years so much name prime minister in feudal China, can you sign up for a few to give? We are advanced intellectuals here! Arrive after Tang Chao now how many Number One Scholar? Do you know? Size otiose of the official, the other people of how many fortune, cannot pass a few years, the family is early forget his shadow! At that time be very of scene, but do not have a career because of him, so he cannot long, have to decayed.
Have the person of ambition so, want to establish extraordinary service, establish great cause, be about to explain a cause. This career must be contributed somewhat to the world country. Because this life has two kinds of causes: One kind is the cause that shows a body when the world, that is very finite. Living when the family does not know a name, after dying, not how long, the family had faded from his memory! Like us old friend talks together, classics regular meeting thinks of in those days those became red the person of half the sky, black now already black! The name is forgotten! The person at that time has forgotten even us them, be unable to call to mind, average person prep let alone. Nevertheless Sun Wu is mixed for nothing close fair, everybody still knows, serve as because of theirs be like a career, this calls a thousand years great undertaking. Resemble Sakyamuni, Jesus, Confucius, did not destroy in the earth previously, their name exists forever, live in the heart of people forever. Because they had contribution to the mankind, such ability call a thousand years great undertaking, it is another kind of career, the influence that is not your be an official absolutely can be likened to.
A person became an emperor, calculate regnant whole world, also won't go more than a few years at most. Historical experience tells us, there won't be what do not have chaos caused by war more than 30 years forever on this world. Not be to say full-scale world war of course, do not arrive 56 years anyway or 78 years, either here fight, it is the conflict there. Show alive bound each district or have a battle. Everybody does not think such but too smooth! Will tell with human world, very not quite smooth. Middle east is hit so that be in a complete mess, are they people? Call us how can stable? Have the person of great undertaking of bosom a thousand years only, he in flames of war any medium, moment follow medium, turmoil forever people is in together. The career of this person and Bodhisattva, sacred compassionate purpose is same, in the mankind very affliction when, he is worth people reliance forever. So " The Book of Changes " truth, those who teach us achievement is this kind of career -- the high aim below exceeding lofty or great, into the career of the great undertaking of the world.

"Lift and of the world of arrange civilian calling career. " last we had talked, your this individual is had " career " , not be you open a company to become president, be called a career when the boss. When boss, set up shop child that is Sichuan person tell " play fund " , dally with money just, that is not a career. Want can " lift and of the world of arrange civilian " , just calculate a career. Your doing has contribution to human society, because of your contribution, can make how world mankind comes down surely, this ability is a career. This one word wants special attention, this is us Chinese culture is right " career " the definition that leaves.
Alleged " arrange " , at ordinary times we often say " between act " , " act is errant " , this " arrange " not be to point to measure, it is to point to stable. Can make national society stable between act, this makes a career. Alleged a career, it is this thing was done, at least affects 50 years, centenary, and even all ages of a thousand years.
The person likes to write a book very much now. But I often tell a youth, what to write a book to have to use now? Doing not have what book is to be worth to circulate, can circulate. Since you look 80 years, a book put a few years on the bookshelf, hate to part with those who lose is very few. See ancient books again, you are hated to part with lost. It has its value forever. Present newspaper and some books have 5 minutes of life only, still do not go to even 5 minutes even, the someone looked to be lost, looked to also won't remember. And some articles, have some of advertisement implied meaning especially, take in one's hand in sneak away to also do not sneak away to be lost repeatedly, still do not have life of 3 seconds. So " good " it is good, everybody can tell everybody, this is good literary works. Really good thing, want to have a few years, hundreds of years, and even a thousand years 10 thousand generation, family not be willing to part with or use is lost, that ability is called a career. The ancients has a word to say " but circulating be absent much " , can circulate really those who come down, its value is absent the amount is much. You see Zhu Geliang's lifetime, have the name of eternally achievement, the article has two around only " give a person of exemplary virtue " circulate forever come down. Zhu Geliang's lifetime, have these two implied meanings enough also. Knowable but circulating be absent much, have the value that circulate truly, this namely the definition of the career.

We here the elite that is business circles of Chinese new generation. But what calls a company? What makes a profession? They a lot of people do not know, know one makes money only. This is not entrepreneur, enterprise, profession and career have big difference. Some people often ask me, "What career do you make? " I say " my deal ah. " " what business do you do? " red pen is ticked off on the horse in my heart, this fellow is muddle-headed. The definition that Chinese culture explains a cause is too difficult, this word is in " department of The Book of Changes is passed " in Confucius has been told, say " lift and of the world of arrange civilian, calling career. " build railroad e.g. me; E.g. big Yu Zhishui; It is civilization of human creation material e.g. a scientist. "Lift " it is a movement; "Of the world of arrange civilian " , make society, people gets stable. Such thing is called a career. We open company, work, this is not called a career, this makes a profession. Profession of Chinese culture appearance is all sorts of people, all trades and professions. When so we can see decline of society of a country, have in the article " 100 line of business are stagnant " 4 words, it is the decline that says socioeconomy, flat.
So our deal gets rich now, money is very much, still talking to go up is capitalistic. For example person says capitalism, I say capital does not have creed hey! Capital, gold is the idea of an actual strength, without the fault. Be equal to life to be a purpose with life, capital also is as a way of is a purpose originally, itself does not have creed, without giving thought to your socialism, communism, any thought must want to use capital. "Capitalistic " I also do not agree with this name, it is a standard with how many money excuse me, can you say to become capitalist? These are empty names.
Live for human society and real cause is become. Common we do include you, it is be the life is not to live, it is a kind of profession, although become an emperor,also be a kind of profession. I tell to you you had not listened, a common saying in Chinese culture, alleged " all sorts of people " . "3 teach " be Confucianism, commentate, path 3 religion; "9 stream " it is a profession cent is 9 kinds:
Top-ranking emperor is second-class official -- first-class profession is to become an emperor, second-class it is be an official.
3 monks 4 5 shed cure -- the monk is lama, bonze, be 3 flow, taoism priest 4 flow, cure is belonged to 5 stream.
6 labour 7 artisan 8 meretricious -- 6 flowing is a worker, 7 flowing is artisan, meretricious 8 flow.
9 shed a student 10 beggar -- the student is 9 stream, beggar 10 flow.
Very amused? We learn philosophical person to think carefully, this is analysed very marvelously, this calls a profession equality. Before place some year of intellectual " smelly old 9 " , come from here, it is well-founded.
You notice, in these 10 kinds of professions, have two kinds of people, very strange; Also do not have a soldier without the businessman, these two kinds of people still are not entered stream. Another philosophy viewpoint is, the soldier objects in Chinese culture thought, in the meantime, the thought of Confucianist tradition is small business. So these are professions, this makes the living, do not make live, also not be the meaning of life. Somebody made a mistake it, thinking is class idea, this is not a class, it is the life and occupational classification, the meaning that reachs the life with existent target is two different matters completely.

4 words that Chinese culture often mentions " establish a body to conduct oneself in society " . We one individual work is on the world, how do oneself stand up, actually we everybody was lying. Alleged stand up, it is a person socially, oneself want to make a contribution somewhat. Without giving thought to the achievement of your knowledge how, the official is accomplished how old, money is sent how much, all fame and fortune are not a career, that is professional problem only.
What is called a career? There is a definition in our culture, it is Confucius be in " The Book of Changes " in the definition below, "Lift and of the world of arrange civilian, calling career " . Of one individual lifetime as, can affect social country the world, this makes a career. As to be duped emperor, perhaps fall do beggar, it is the profession differs only. We are common follow the profession career two ideas are promiscuous, made a mistake, ask you make what career, it is to ask he makes what profession actually. How much is real cause money, the position is much higher, be opposite however historical contribution, to social consequence. Have the person of the career, just be called the person that stand up, that is called " establish a body " , it is heroic, stand between heaven and earth, do not treat unjustly do a person, have contribution to historical times, influential. "Conduct oneself in society " the meaning of two words, it is how we live valuably, live very suitably, the attention that gets a person is cherished.
