Confucius said: "The way of mortals is to be small in desire, ambitious, wise and square, and to do more and do less." The so-called "narrow-minded" people are afraid of being ill-timed, carefully avoiding disasters, and dare not indulge their desires. All "ambitious" countries are different, and they are a confluence of right and wrong. China is its center. Those who are "intelligent" always flow far and wide for no reason, and there are endless deep springs. People who "walk in the right direction" stand up straight and unyielding, plain but not dirty, poor and not easy to exercise, and fail to realize their ambitions. Those who are "able to do many things", equipped with military and civilian equipment, are also in motion. People with "few things" will rule widely, stay calm and wait impatiently.

The translation is as follows:

Wen Zi said: The way to be a man is to be small-minded, big-minded, wise, well-behaved, capable and few things.

Being small means being careful, being cautious, having self-control and not indulging.

To be ambitious means to be ambitious, tolerant of dissidents and not to judge right and wrong.

Wisdom should be round, which means: think tactfully, think divergently, and don't go all the way.

Doing well means being fair and upright, maintaining a noble personality when you are poor, and not forgetting your ideals when you are developed.

Being able to do more means learning more skills, enriching your mind and paying attention to exercise.

Less means: concentrate on things, not impatient, not greedy; Persevere, choose important things to do, and don't let daily chores get in the way.
