Confucius said: "It is good for businessmen to deal with those who are virtuous to oneself, and to give gifts to those who are not as good as oneself. I don't know that his son regards his father, he does not know that his people regard him as his friend, and he does not know that his king regards his envoys." Don't know the place and look at the vegetation. Therefore, it is said that living with good people is like entering a house of orchid and not smelling its fragrance for a long time, and it will be transformed. Living with bad people is like entering a house of abalone and not smelling its smell for a long time. It also changes with it. What is hidden in elixir is red, and what is hidden in lacquer is black, so a gentleman must be careful about where he puts it. "

Translation: Confucius said: Businessmen like to talk about themselves. People who talk nicely to others like to get along with each other, and people in high positions like to get along with people who are not as good as themselves. If you don’t understand the son, look at his father; if you don’t understand the person, look at his friends; if you don’t understand the monarch, look at his ministers; if you don’t understand the land, look at the grass and trees growing on it. Therefore, associating with people of good character is like entering a room filled with fragrant orchids. Over time, you can no longer smell the fragrance of orchids. This is because you have become one with the fragrance. Associating with people with bad moral character is like entering a warehouse full of smelly salted fish. Over time, you will no longer be able to smell the smell of salted fish. This is also because you have become one with the smell. Cinnabar must contain red, and ink must contain black, so a gentleman must choose his friends carefully.
