要被他人想念。赢得众人欢心的人十分罕见。若能赢得智者的青睐，便是三生有幸。人走茶凉是普遍规律，但要获得善意的回报，也不是没有办法。最稳妥的方法就是：在工作中、在才能上出类拔萃，若还是和蔼可亲之人，那样人们会说是工作需要你，而非你需要那份工作。有的人能给自己的工作带来荣耀，还有的人凭借自己的工作而为自身带来荣耀。如果你的继任者不能胜任工作而显得你工作不错，这绝不是什么荣耀。因为这并不代表人们怀念前任，仅说明他们希望继任滚蛋。
get yourself missed. few reach such favour with the many; if with the wise it is the height of happiness. when one has finished one's work, coldness is the general rule. but there are ways of earning this reward of goodwill. the sure way is to excel in your office and talents: add to this agreeable manner and you reach the point where you become necessary to your office, not your office to you. some do honour to their post, with others it is the other way. it is no great gain if a poor successor makes the predecessor seem good, for this does not imply that the one is missed, but that the other is wished away.
