Good medicine is bitter to the mouth and good for the disease, and honest advice is bad to the ears and good for the deeds.

Choose good people to make friends with, choose good books to read, choose good words to listen to, and choose good deeds to follow.

1. Good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease; loyal advice is hard on the ears and good for the action:

Although good medicine is bitter in the mouth, it is good for the treatment of diseases; the sincere language Although it doesn’t sound good, it will help your actions.

2. "Choose good people to make friends with, choose good books to read, choose good words to listen to, and choose good deeds to follow." This sentence has many sources. Some think it comes from "Zi Tong Jian", and some It doesn’t matter whether it comes from Buddhist scriptures. What matters is that we can practice this sentence in our lives. Confucius said in "The Analects of Confucius": When three people walk together, they must have my teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. This is the knowledge in our Chinese textbooks, and the two have the same purpose. It contains two aspects: on the one hand, choose those who are good and follow them, and learn from others when you see them, which is the spirit of being open-minded and studious; on the other hand, you should change those who are not good and learn from others If you are not good, you should take warning and reflect on yourself. This is the spirit of conscious cultivation. In this way, no matter whether the person you work with is good or bad, you can become a teacher.
