What makes him one of the best student of Confucius is because of his filial piety act, political views on managing a country starts from self-cultivating, personal development as a gentleman and reflection skills.
But what I'm going to talk about is his famous quotes on reflection:
曾子的名言:吾日三省吾身
《论语》中有:“曾子曰:‘吾日三省吾身;为人谋而不忠乎?与朋友交而不信乎?传不习乎?’”
Basically, what ZengZi's trying to say is, he reflects 3 times a day. Using the following 3 things as a guide to reflect himself:
- When I work with someone, do I give my 100% commitment?
- Am I sincere when I'm treating my friends? Do I keep my promise to them?
- Do I practice what the teachers have taught me?
What can I learn from the facts?:
- *Reflect at least once a day, if you want to be 1/3 as good as him.
- To be a successful person and be remembered for centuries, you must be able to give away. ZengZi shares and give away his time, knowledge and teachings on education. What can I give away(奉献)?
* I just want to be 1/3 as good as him.
