1. From The Analects of Confucius

Confucius said, "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first. Living in a country is also a saint or a doctor, and a benevolent person is a friend. "

2. The Analects of Confucius

Living in a big city is not easy to maintain.

At this point, Confucius raised a question about use.

Zi Gong asks for benevolence. Confucius said: If a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first. Living in a country is also a country. A wise doctor is a benevolent friend.

Zi Gong asked how to cultivate benevolence. Confucius said, "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first. Living in a country, you should serve the sages among doctors and make friends with the benevolent among scholars. "

"If a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first." These are also two famous sayings that we often quote from The Analects of Confucius. Confucius said.

Confucius

In that case. Confucius said to Zigong that a person who makes handicrafts or handicrafts must first prepare tools if he wants to finish his work perfectly. So what tools does Ren use? Living in this country, if you want to make some contributions to this country, you must make friends with the upper class, even politicians and government backbones; Make friends with all kinds of wise people in this country and society. In other words, it is necessary to understand the inside story of this country and make good relations, so as to get the opportunity to contribute and accomplish the purpose of benevolence.

reading comprehension

On the surface, craftsmen's work and ideological and moral cultivation are irrelevant, but they have the same truth in essence.

The Analects of Confucius quoted Kong Anguo's annotation as saying: "Workers use sharp tools as help, while people use virtuous friends as help."

As the saying goes, "sharpening a knife does not mistake a woodcutter." Craftsmen can polish tools before work, and it is also easy to operate, so that they can get twice the result with half the effort, and their ideological and moral cultivation can also be achieved. Choose people with high moral character, make friends with them, be influenced by them, and your ideological realm and moral cultivation will be improved invisibly.

In fact, this is why Ceng Zi said in Yanyuan that a gentleman "treats others with a friend's way".

"If a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first." These are also two famous sayings that we often quote from The Analects. Confucius said to Zigong that a person who makes handicrafts or handicrafts must first prepare tools if he wants to finish his work perfectly. For example, as the saying goes, "sharpening a knife does not mistake a woodcutter." If you want to accomplish something, you must plan and arrange it in advance so that you can do it steadily.
