Ceng Zi said, "I reflect on myself many times every day: I don't care enough about others. Is it dishonest to associate with friends? Have you reviewed the knowledge taught by the teacher? "
The original text is: "Ceng Zi said:' I save myself three times a day; Cheating on others. Make friends. Don't trust them. I can't get used to it. Translated into vernacular Chinese, I must reflect on myself with three things every day: Is there anything I don't try my best to help others? Is it dishonest to associate with friends? Have you reviewed the teacher's teaching? "This is what Ceng Zi called" three provinces ". This "three provinces" refers to two aspects. One is to cultivate one's morality and the other is to treat others. Be honest with people. Honesty is a sign of distinctive personality. You don't cheat others or yourself. Doing things for others wholeheartedly, doing one's best, and not perfunctory are the basic virtues of being a man. Cultivation can't be achieved at one time. Self-cultivation should run through life. We should always review old experiences and gain new knowledge. We can't stop. Once we stop, we will become rigid.
