A brave man is not afraid, he will meet the challenge without hesitation. A really smart person will not be sad. He will treat people and things that bring him sorrow with a tolerant attitude. A man who has a pursuit, a man who strives for his own ideal, can't be limited by any boundary.

Said by: Confucius, Analects of Confucius, Zi Han.

Confucius said, "The knower is not confused, the benevolent is not worried, and the brave is not afraid."

Smart people will not doubt, kind people will not be sad, and brave people will not be afraid.

Once Sima Niu, a disciple of Confucius, asked how to be a gentleman. Confucius said, "A gentleman is neither sad nor afraid." Sima Niu didn't quite understand and asked, "Can you tell a gentleman not to worry or be afraid?"

Confucius' answer is: "If you introspect, what is your husband worried about?" In other words, if you have a clear conscience, what are you sad and afraid of? Of course, an honest person's openness is not only a matter of correct behavior, but also comes from people's inner moral quality.

The ancients believed that a gentleman had three basic qualities-kindness, wisdom and courage. Confucius said: "The benevolent is not worried, the wise is not confused, and the brave is not afraid", that is, if people have a kind heart.

With lofty life wisdom and brave and strong will, there is bound to be a good psychological and mental state, so as to be broad-minded and open-minded.
