Competition is a good thing, it forces you to keep improving.
Courtesy costs nothing. Lower the toilet seat after use. Let the people in the elevator exit before you enter. Return shopping carts to their designated areas. When you borrow something, return it better shape (filled up, cleaned) than when you got it.
【原文】冉求曰:“非不悦子之道,力不足也。”子曰:“力不足者,中道而废,今汝划。”【译文】冉求说:“我不是不喜欢您的学说,而是我的能力不足。”孔子说:“如果是能力不足的话,是走到中途才废弃而停止,但现在你还没开始,就给自己划了一条截止的界限而停止前进了。”
