Original text:

Confucius said: A gentleman seeks for himself, while a villain seeks for others.

Translation:

Confucius said, "A gentleman demands himself, while a villain demands others."

Detailed explanation: when a gentleman encounters a problem, he first looks for the reason from himself, while those villains always try their best to shirk their responsibilities and clean themselves up when they are in trouble, never reflecting on themselves and looking for the reason from themselves.

Appreciate:

Conflicts and troubles have occurred. In fact, think calmly: isn't it an excellent and rare opportunity to seize the moment when unpleasant things happen and understand the causal relationship? Even if it is not our fault, it is a responsible attitude to form the habit of "looking for your own reasons first". But most unsatisfactory things have their own reasons, more superficial and unconscious deep-seated reasons. Isn't your body and mind a small world? Aren't you in charge yourself?
