If a person wants to be a gentleman, are there any rules on his words and actions? What should a gentlemen pay attention ? Let's find out the answers from Confucius, one of the greatest (teacher) in ancient China
In the West, some people believe that how someone says something is (important)than what he says , Confucius didn't think so He believed that gentlemen should choose their words (careful), even if that may make people feel bored
Confucius believed that etiquette(礼仪) is important words should follow etiquette But he also (put) forward his idea of what gentlemen should do: Work hard He said that gentlemen should not be lazy and need to focus(集中注意力) on their study and work to improve (them)
These rules for gentlemen's words and actions have influenced Chinese people for long time Today, many Chinese people still prefer (have) a practical (务实的) spirit rather than saying pleasant words. Of course, choosing our words and actions according to the situation is also a kind of wisdom(智慧).
