Excerpt, background on Confucius & ancient China

Confucius’ blueprint for life

Your habits shape your character

Demand much from yourself, less of others

The importance of always learning

How to express yourself honestly

Practice what you preach, talk only when you’ve done it

There’s something to learn from everyone

Exploitive behaviors are what petty persons do

Sharpen your tools, and don’t get distracted by shiny things

Immerse yourself in the river of life

You can face death at dusk if you’ve walked the way in day
