管仲(舊題):Guanzi, 第76篇山至數, Entry 1

管仲(舊題)《管子》· 第76篇山至數 · Wealth · Investing · Philosophy · Decision

桓公問管子曰:「梁聚謂寡人曰:『古者輕賦稅而肥籍斂,取下無順於此者矣。』梁聚之言何如?」管子對曰:「梁聚之言非也。彼輕賦稅則倉廩虛,肥籍斂則械器不奉而諸侯之皮幣不衣。倉廩虛則倳賤無祿。外皮幣不衣於天下,內國倳賤,梁聚之言非也。君有山,山有金,以立幣。以幣准穀而授祿,故國穀斯在上,穀賈什倍。農夫夜寢蚤起,不待見使,五穀什倍。士半祿而死君,農夫夜寢蚤起,力作而無止。彼善爲國者,不曰使之,使不衍得不使;不曰貧之,使不得不用。故使民無有不得不使者。夫梁聚之言非也。」桓公曰:「善。」

孟子:Mencius, 萬章上 4

孟子《孟子》· 萬章上·4 · Cognition · Character · Philosophy · Leadership

咸丘蒙問曰:「語云:『盛德之士,君不得而臣,父不得而子。』舜南面而立,堯帥諸侯北面而朝之,瞽瞍亦北面而朝之。舜見瞽瞍,其容有蹙。孔子曰:『於斯時也,天下殆哉,岌岌乎!』不識此語,誠然乎哉?」 孟子曰:「否,此非君子之言,齊東野人之語也。堯老而舜攝也,《堯典》曰:『二十有八載,放勛乃徂落,百姓如喪考妣。三年,四海遏密八音。』孔子曰:『天無二日,民無二王。』舜既為天子矣,又帥天下諸侯以為堯三年喪,是二天子矣。」 咸丘蒙曰:「舜之不臣堯,則吾既得聞命矣。《詩》云:『普天之下,莫非王土;率土之濱,莫非王臣。』而舜既為天子矣,敢問瞽瞍之非臣,如何?」 曰:「是詩也,非是之謂也,勞於王事而不得養父母也。曰:『此莫非王事,我獨賢勞也。』故說詩者,不以文害辭,不以辭害志;以意逆志,是為得之。如以辭而已矣。《雲漢》之詩曰:『周餘黎民,靡有孑遺。』信斯言也,是周無遺民也。孝子之至,莫大乎尊親;尊親之至,莫大乎以天下養。為天子父,尊之至也;以天下養,養之至也。《詩》曰:『永言孝思,孝思惟則』,此之謂也。《書》曰:『祗載見瞽瞍,夔夔齋栗,瞽瞍亦允若』,是為父不得而子也?」

Henry Ford:My Life and Work, Excerpt 65

Henry Ford《My Life and Work》· Chapter VI · Leadership

This rating system simply forces a foreman to forget personalities--to forget everything other than the work in hand. If he should select the people he likes instead of the people who can best do the work, his department record will quickly show up that fact.
