During the war, I sent an envoy to France for national interests, but it didn't work. First, my personality was not suitable for this. Second, I didn't realize that at this juncture of the war, all the credit was in the war, and the power came from the barrel of the gun. It's not that there is nothing to do. With reference to our party, the civilian Lao Mao grasps the overall policy and strategizes, and the civilian Lao Liu can also do ideological and political work well and unite the military. This is the United States. Perfectly did not see the value of civilian officials, and wasted the opportunity for meritorious service.
Second, Adams is not able to bend and stretch, and is too upright and frank.
His specialty is still in the characteristics of the legal profession. 1. Tough negotiation. When Lao Mei can negotiate with his back straight, Adams' eloquence has some effect.
In addition, he is suitable to be a staff member, not a judge. Although he is stubborn, he can at least convince his party members, but the differences of opinion in the partisan struggle are too great to resolve the differences between Hamilton and Jefferson, and Jefferson is also stubborn. people. Adams believes that the public consciousness is unreliable and undesirable, so he believes that centralization is better than the separation of powers. In essence, he does not realize that the public consciousness can be guided by propaganda, etc. The big problems of the country can be analyzed by people with knowledge. Obviously, public opinion determines the elected representatives, and the elected representatives absolutely who will be the president and who will hold the real power. Thinking about the Continental Congress, it is also the public opinion that promotes independence. It took time to decide independence, which led Adams to distrust the Congress and the representatives, and every Congress meeting ended in a quarrel, with no real leader uniting the 13 states to do great things.
For the French provocation, French ships can be detained by sea, and they can respond in various aspects such as trade, French diaspora, and military preparations. Just like China, although it really wants peace, it should not show weakness in the face of provocation. In response, I do not declare war with you, but at least there should be a response, not a weak posture all the time.
It was heartbreaking to see old friends of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia alienated one by one because of their political differences.
Assuming that this group, together with Alexander Hamilton, can coexist peacefully, and is able to let go of its own prejudices, analyze the opinions and consequences of others, absorb differences, and reach an agreement on major issues such as the political system, constitution, and system construction, it will be a good thing .
It is sad to see the neglect of education for the children. After all, he has spent most of his time for the country. Charles has been stubborn since he was a child. The stubborn children are the ones who need to care, love and guide their thoughts the most. He died of drunkenness, but the eldest son John Quincy, the youngest son Thomas, and the daughter Nambi were all docile children who followed the example of their father, and they all had a good life in the end.
The demands of Adams' position were even somewhat jealous of Washington for the real power. Too pedantic, he should take the initiative to propose a position that suits him, do his best to do well, unite his staff around Washington, give full play to his own strengths, and do what he should do. Even if he becomes a lawyer in his old age, it is a happy ending. In contrast to the beginning, Boston supported Adams, but in the end it was reduced to no one, which is a pity.
Summary: Those who participate in politics should form a party, unite, and agree with most of their political views, and do things that suit their strengths. When they are in power, they must unite the people below and win the hearts of the people. It is important to guide the people to analyze the current situation, to seek peace and self-development, especially to improve people's living standards, tax revenue, build an army to defend the homeland, etc., and try to do better.
The enslavement of blacks still fails to show genuine compassion and love for action, or improve their dignity.
Another important insight: A true wise man makes his own best choice, makes a bold decision, and acts quickly to solve inherent problems.
I think most of the world leaders today are really wise men.
