Zhang Zi wants to learn how to get a formal position. Confucius said: "Listen more, first put aside what you don't understand, speak what you really understand carefully, and make fewer mistakes;" Read more books, put aside doubts first, do what you really understand seriously, and reduce regrets afterwards. There are few mistakes in words and few regrets in actions, and naturally there is an official salary. "

This passage of Confucius is to answer how disciple Zhang Zi can be a good official. Teach students to be cautious in what they say and do, and not to be inconsistent with what they say. Politicians are primarily responsible for their words and deeds. So, say it again when you are sure, and do it when you are sure. This is the performance of avoiding mistakes and regrets, and it is also a politician's responsible attitude towards the country and individuals.

Confucius has always advocated applying what he has learned and actively joining the WTO. Advocating that we should be brave in troubled times is also conducive to improving our living conditions. What I'm talking about here is not only a way to be an official, but also a basic principle of being a man based on society. Since it is required, it is of course necessary to be able to do a good job and try to be a good official.

Cautious words, saying sure things and doing sure things are a concept of the integration of knowledge and practice, and it is also a supplementary explanation and further elaboration of the previous chapter "knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing".

However, it is good to do more and make more mistakes, it is also good to do less and make fewer mistakes, and it is also good to not do it. If you hold this idea, you don't have to feel it. It is limited to the mediocre. If you want to do something, you should listen and watch more, have your own opinions and opinions, have the confidence to do it, and say what you want to do. Do it if you want.
