1. It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop; you keep moving in the direction of your goal, some goals come easily others take weeks, years, even a lifetime, but don’t stop don’t let any setbacks stop you.

2. Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life; when you enjoy what you do it does not feel like work.

3. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall; every time you fall you have to stand back up and do it over to make it better.

4. Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it; everyone and everything is beautiful in their own way but only a few appreciate their beauty.

Confucius taught that all human life takes place within a system of relationships. He categorized these relationships into the 5 Bonds
ruler to subject - subjects have the duty to loyally obey their leader, whereas leaders have the duty to protect their subjects and not abuse their trust
father to son - the son looks up to the father
husband to wife - the wife does everything and respects the husband
elder to younger - the elder brother should be respected by the younger brother
friend to friend - the friend is equal to the other friend
(“The Five Relationships of Confucianism”)
Each relationship is governed by its own form of li—which translates as ‘duty’ or ‘proper behavior.’
Within each of these relationships, we have duties. Each of the 5 Bonds carries its own set of duties and responsibilities.
