24、 Confucius (孔子) had a lot to say about how to live a good life. What’s your favorite Confucius saying? Students from Medfield School posted their favorite sayings on this class webpage.
Tam -“Do not do to others as you do not wish to be done to you.”
I like it best. To me, it’s the most important life rule. Just the other day, I was with a friend in class and she started talking badly about a classmate of ours. I kept on thinking about how bad our classmate would feel if he knew she was saying such terrible things! I know I wouldn’t like it!
Rosa -“In the company of two others, I can always find one worthy of being my teacher.”
It is my favorite. I like to remind(提醒) myself of this saying when practicing with classmates in school. I can learn a lot from others, even from their mistakes. This saying gives me courage and reminds me to pay attention.
Andre-“To go too far is as bad as to fall short.”
This is my favorite. It means that to do too much of something is as bad as not doing enough. For example, I wanted to lose a few kilos for a big party so I didn’t eat enough and exercised all the time. In the end, I got really sick and couldn’t even go to the party! For me, it’s important to find a balance(平衡) to achieve my dreams.
