4. 晏婴是与孔子同时代的政治家，为孔子所敬重。一天，晏婴的车夫回家后，他的妻子要求离婚，车夫不解，其妻说，我今天在门缝中看到你驾车经过门口，晏婴那么矮，做了宰相，名震诸侯，还是那么朴实无华、自居人下，而你身高八尺，只是他的仆役，却意气扬扬、傲气冲天，你这样没有出息，所以我要离婚。车夫听了这番话，就谦虚谨慎、发奋图强。晏婴知道后，也努力培养他，后来车夫官拜大夫。孔子尤其佩服晏子的交友之道，晏子交友，交情越久，他就越恭敬有礼，别人也越尊重他，从而能做到全始全终，所以孔子由衷地说：“晏平仲善与人交，久而敬之。”

4. Yan Ying was a politician of the same era as Confucius and was highly respected by Confucius. One day, after the charioteer of Yan Ying returned home, his wife demanded a divorce. The charioteer was puzzled, and his wife said, "Today, I saw you driving past the gate through the crack in the door. Yan Ying is so short, yet he became the prime minister, his fame spread among the feudal lords, but he remains simple and unpretentious, always putting himself below others. Yet you are eight feet tall, and you are just his servant, yet you are so self-satisfied and full of pride. You are such a failure, so I want a divorce." After hearing this, the charioteer became modest, cautious, and worked hard to improve himself. When Yan Ying found out, he also made efforts to cultivate him, and later the charioteer was appointed as a grand officer. Confucius was especially impressed by Yan Ziyang's way of making friends. The longer the friendship, the more respectful and courteous Yan Ziyang became, and the more others respected him. Thus, he was able to maintain a long-lasting friendship. Therefore, Confucius sincerely said, "Yan Pingzhong is good at making friends, and the longer the friendship, the more he is respected."

5. 这是刘备去世前给其子刘禅的遗诏中的话，原句为：“勿以恶小而为之，勿以善小而不为。惟贤惟德，能服于人。”目的是劝勉他要进德修业，有所作为。不要因为好事小而不做，更不能因为坏事小而去做。小善积多了就成为利天下的大善，而小恶积多了则“足以乱国家”。

5. These are the words from the will of Liu Bei before his death, originally saying: "Do not do evil because it is small, and do not omit doing good because it is small. Only virtue and moral integrity can win the respect of others." The purpose is to encourage him to cultivate his virtue and improve his abilities, and not to neglect good deeds because they seem small, nor to engage in evil deeds because they seem small. Accumulated small good deeds can become great benefits for the world, while accumulated small evil deeds can "be sufficient to disrupt the country."

7. The true value of a friend lies in being able to give a warning at critical times and help steer back on the right path when we've gone astray.

11. 子路有一次问孔子：“君子也有忧愁吗”孔子回答说：“没有。君子追求道义，有终生的快乐，无一朝之忧。小人汲汲于功利，患得患失，一生都生活在忧虑之中。”仁者不忧，是一门大学问。君子之所以为君子，在于他的所作所为里，承载了他的人生追求。兼济天下的人海阔天空，胸怀广大。小人关注眼前得失，稍有挫折便怨天尤人，长久以往便“长戚戚”。

11. Zilu once asked Confucius, "Do gentlemen also have worries?" Confucius replied, "No. Gentlemen pursue righteousness and have lifelong happiness, without any worries of a single day. Mere people are eager for gain and afraid of loss, living their entire lives in worry." For a benevolent person, there is no worry, which is a profound subject of study. What makes a gentleman a gentleman lies in the actions he takes, which embody his life's pursuit. Those who seek to benefit the world have a broad and boundless horizon, with a vast heart. Mere people are concerned with their immediate gains and losses, and upon encountering setbacks, they complain about fate and others. Over time, they become 'deeply troubled'.

15. Do not do to others what you would not like done to yourself. - Confucius

16. 世事复杂，对任何事都得多留几个心眼。凡事多问必多益，因为任何疑难问题都招架不住三个以上问号的敲打，只要打破砂锅问到底，问题的症结必定会水落石出。

16. Life is complex, and one must always be cautious about anything. Asking more questions in all things will bring more benefits, because any difficult problem cannot withstand the scrutiny of three or more question marks.

Even if one pleases him in an improper way, he will be pleased; but when he employs people, he demands perfection from them. —— Extracted from Confucius' "Analects" —— Interpretation: It is easy to serve a gentleman, but difficult to win his favor. If one tries to please him in an improper way, he will not be pleased; but when it comes to employing people, he can utilize them based on their abilities. Serving a mean person is difficult, but it is easy to win his favor. If one pleases him in an improper way, he will be pleased; but when he is employing people, he will be looking for perfection in them.

18. 好仁不好学，其蔽也愚;好知不好学，其蔽也荡;好信不好学，其蔽也贼;好直不好学，其蔽也绞;好勇不好学，其蔽也乱;好刚不好学，其蔽也狂。——孔子?>

21. 一个人如果实现了俗世理想，成为达官显贵，那么自然可以享洪福;如果没有实现俗世理想，那么也要安心享受清福。没有人能同时既享洪福又享清福的，智慧的人从这两种福中都能享受到超然的乐趣。

21. If a person achieves the secular ideals and becomes a dignitary, then naturally they can enjoy great blessings; if they have not achieved the secular ideals, then they should be content to enjoy a peaceful and contented life. No one can enjoy both great blessings and a peaceful life at the same time. Wise people can find transcendental enjoyment in both types of blessings.

25. Confucius visited the temple and saw a vessel that was inclined and easy to tip over. The guardian of the temple said it was a Yu Zuo vessel. Confucius said, "I have heard that the Yu Zuo vessel tilts when it is empty, stands upright when it is half full, and tips over when it is full. A wise ruler always places it on his right side." Confucius asked his disciples to pour water into it, and indeed it was as he said. Confucius sighed, "How can there be anything that is full without tipping over?" The disciples asked, "May I ask if there is a way to remain full without tipping over?" Confucius replied, "With wisdom and intelligence, keep it with foolishness; with achievements that benefit the whole world, keep it with modesty; with courage and strength that shake the world, keep it with timidity; with wealth that spans the seas, keep it with humility. This is what is called the way of constantly diminishing oneself."

This will lead to the ideal effect of 'change leads to success, success leads to agility, agility leads to achievement, and achievement leads to completion.'
