On self

The Master said, 'When we see men of worth, we should think of equalling them; when we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.'

Analects of Confucius · Book 4 4.17

Sanskrit: public domain · English tr. James Legge (public domain)

What it means

See someone better — aim to match them; see someone worse — look inward and check yourself.

Carry it today

When you judge someone today, turn it into one honest look at yourself.
