Activity 2. Analects To Reflect
The Master said, “The good man does not grieve that other people do not
recognize his merits. His only anxiety is lest he should fail to recognize theirs.”
The Master said, “To learn and at due times to repeat what one has learnt, is
that not after all a pleasure? That friends should come to one from afar, is this not after
all delightful? To remain unsoured even though one’s merits are unrecognized by
others, is that not after all what is expected of a gentleman?”
The Master said, “At fifteen I set my heart upon learning. At thirty, I had planted
my feet firm upon the ground. At forty, I no longer suffered from perplexities. At fifty, I
knew what were the biddings of heaven. At sixty, I heard them with docile ear. At
seventy, I could follow the dictates of my own heart; for what I desire no longer
overstepped the boundaries of right.”
The Master said, “To learn and at due times to repeat what one has learnt, is
that not after all a pleasure? Those friends should come to one from afar, is this not
after all delightful? To remain unsoured even though one’s merits are unrecognized
by others is that not after all what is expected of a gentleman?”
The Master said, “A young man’s duty is to behave well to his parents at home
and to his elders abroad, to be cautious in giving promises and punctual in giving them,
to have kindly feelings towards everyone, but seek the intimacy of good. If, when all
that is done, he has any energy to spare, and then let him study the polite arts.”
The Master said, “The good man does not grieve that other people do not
recognize his merits. His only anxiety is lest he should fail to recognize theirs.”
The Master said, “He who rules by moral force is like the Pole star, which
remains in its place where all the lesser stars do homage to it.”
Meng Wu Po asked about the treatment of parents.
The Master said, “Behave in such a way that your father and mother have no
anxiety about you, except concerning your health.”
The Master said, “A gentleman can see a question from all sides without bias.
The small man is biased and can see a question only from one side.”
The Master said, “You, shall I teach you what knowledge is? When you know a
thing, to recognize that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to recognize
that you do not know it. That is knowledge.”
The Master said, “High office filled by men of narrow views, ritual performed
without reverence, the forms of mourning observed without grief—these are things I
cannot bear to see!”
7
The Master said, “In the presence of a good man, think all the time how you
may learn to equal him. In the presence of a bad man, turn your gaze within!”
The Master said, “In old days, a man kept hold on his words, fearing the
disgrace that would ensue should he himself fail to keep pace with them.
The Master said, “A gentleman covets the reputation of being slow in word but
prompt in deed.”
The Master said, “In old days, men studied for the sake of self- improvement;
nowadays men study to impress other people.”
The Master said, “A gentleman is ashamed to let his words outrun his deeds.”
The Master said, “He who will not worry about what is far off will soon find
something worse than worry close at hand.”
The Master said, “To demand much from oneself and little from others is the
way (for a ruler) to banish discontent.”
Process Questions:
1. How would you react to the situation described by the master if you were
one of these persons?
2. Do you worry about your personal conflicts? If so, cite lines from the
analects that will help you deal with your worries.
4. Do you have conflicts with your parents about your behavior? How are
you going to resolve these?

What Is It
Conflicts are part of growing. They are your barometers of self-discipline and
strong character. You are strong not because you go for physical and verbal assault
but on how you choose to resolve conflicts in a calm manner.
How would you face your personal conflicts? Maybe, you have attempted a
great deal of approaches to prevail upon them. You need necessary adjustments to
shield yourself from hurt and disappointments. The selection from The Analects
provided you some life lessons that you might have forgotten and the values that you
should possess to be your armor in resolving your personal conflicts.
Resolving your personal conflict is very important as you continue your life’s
journey. It will give you peace of mind and a better outlook in life knowing that you can
resolve conflicts.
In literature, you will encounter different types of conflicts. These conflicts in
literature help you define and understand the problem that you are facing. Literature
can present conflicts in a way where readers can picture out the conflict, relate to the
characters, and will admire how conflicts are being resolved.
Literature provides an avenue to acquire a broader perspective and ability to
resolve one’s personal conflicts. Just like in real life, characters in the stories have
struggles or conflicts that need to be resolved. Solutions are revealed as the story
unfolds. This gives you the suggestions or ideas on how to resolve your personal
conflicts. It will also enlighten you that conflicts are part of your life, but they can be
resolved in a non-violent way. Through literature you can develop positive resolution
to conflicts that you will encounter.
