1. It is better to see the bad than the good.

This sentence comes from The Analects of Confucius. As the founder of Confucianism and the master of China's cultural thoughts, Confucius' words and deeds have the power to travel through time and space. Confucius said that when you see good behavior, you are worried that you will not see it, and you will not see good action, just like putting your hand in boiling water to avoid it. For a gentleman, the top priority is to promote justice, and those unkind behaviors must not be contaminated with people with ulterior motives. This is a very important "self-control" of self-cultivation.

2. two people are United, and their profits are broken; The difference between one thought and another.

We have all heard the allusion "Brothers of the League, whose profits are cut off", and here we also emphasize unity. As far as improving moral character is concerned, it tells us that it is also a great pleasure in life to improve communication ability, tolerate different voices and cultivate sentiment with many like-minded friends.

It is worth mentioning that the word "smelly" here is incomprehensible with the present eyes. The word "smelly" means fragrant in ancient Chinese. Therefore, this sentence should be understood as follows: People who work together in Qi Xin are strong enough to break hard metal, and people who work together in Qi Xin will greatly enhance their persuasiveness, just like smelling the fragrance of orchids.

3. Losses are numerous, and the income is meager.

Since childhood, we have known that "modesty makes people progress", which is an eternal truth in the world. If you don't hone your mentality, you will be complacent if you achieve a little, which is undoubtedly unfavorable to your growth. The ancients have long understood this point, and it doesn't matter if they succeed or lose. This is a lofty realm.

This sentence comes from Shangshu, which means: Being complacent about what you have achieved will bring losses and disasters; Be modest and feel your own shortcomings, and you can benefit from it.
