10 Life Lessons From Confucius We Should All Follow
Ойын-сауық
Confucius (551-479 BC)[1] was a Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history.
The philosophy of Confucius emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the Hundred Schools of Thought era only to be suppressed in favor of the Legalists during the Qin Dynasty. Following the victory of Han over Chu after the collapse of Qin, Confucius's thoughts received official sanction and were further developed into a system known as Confucianism.
Confucius is traditionally credited with having authored or edited many of the Chinese classic texts including all of the Five Classics, but modern scholars are cautious of attributing specific assertions to Confucius himself. Aphorisms concerning his teachings were compiled in the Analects, but only many years after his death.
Confucius's principles had a basis in common Chinese tradition and belief. He championed strong family loyalty, ancestor worship, respect of elders by their children and of husbands by their wives. He also recommended family as a basis for ideal government. He espoused the well-known principle "Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself", an early version of the Golden Rule.

great job guys... Confucius's teachings are world heritage... love from India
Confucius, LEGENDARY PHILOSOPHER!
I play this video every year to my 6th graders when we study Confucius and they love it. They laugh while they are being educated. Y'all are the best!
I really never heard about these teaching of Confucius, but I've been following the lessons. Its such a beautiful thing to see that someone has the same thoughts as I do. Made my day.
This is beautiful. Confucious is my favorite philosopher. Confucious himself overcame a lot of obstacles as he grew into old age. Some of the teachings here are lessons he learned from his own personal struggles.
Remember: "A bowl is most useful when it is empty."

I recently started binge-watching this channel and I have to say, I really like the "chemistry"/interaction between the two of you! I love how Mike is very fluent in Mandarin (for us fluent Mandarin speakers, it's really nice to hear spoken Mandarin with no ABC accent! 很亲切!) while Dan is such a banana (also very funny to hear Dan struggle to speak Chinese sometimes)! Keep up the good work!

Thank you guys. Loved it! Light and Prosperity!
#9 is my favorite... enjoy reading old philosophy, Socrates and Confucius are my top pick.
This did inspire me. It's good to be reminded of great advice. I was reminded of a quote from an old movie called Dinotopia that I saw once. "Eat to live, don't live to eat."

@Scrotus Maximus , why wud u bring Islam into this ? I am Muslim and i admire all those ideologies , Islam isn't a cancer but u r "the" cancer.
Very thought provoking. I see the golden and silver rule as basically the same thing. Even not doing something to someone is treating them a certain way.
I like this video it nice to reflect back to this video when you are feeling down. I like your hair cut Mike!
Really inspiring. I need such a video. found right video at right time.thsnx
This video was so good and informative, I'm going to make notes on it in my diary, so I can carry the life lessons close to me :)

SO funny! I loved it - and LEARNED a few things!
Number 3 backs up my reason to never try to read the text book and memorise as much as you can especially right before the exam because you panic, forget all the useful stuff you know, cram your brain with short term facts and panic again at the beginning of the test about your lack of knowledge causing you to forget at the stuff you tried to memorise. I'd much rather just walk into an exam having just skimmed my eyes over my notes than have hard core studied.

Have you tried searching sources on the web (pictures, videos etc.) of what you're studying? I think it helps seeing things from different angles and how they're used in real life situations. Also, an image stays stuck in our brains better than just text :)

Samurai Sakura Yes, when I do study and know that really have to, I search images and go on websites that illustrate what I'm trying to learn. But I'm pretty lucky tbh, I usually end up doing really well on tests because even though I've go a bad memory I somehow manage to retain facts about things so that really saves my backside and gets me a B! Thanks for helping, learning is different adds variety making it easier to remember.

Lola Star You're welcome! I'm an aspiring teacher so I try to find effective ways of studying for my future students :) You say you have bad memory but I think you do well on tests not because of your good luck but because you're interested in what you learn. I believe that if one is interested and engaged in what they study they'll retain the information eventually.

Samurai Sakura I'm sure you'd be a great teacher one day! I hate the ones that just make you write and copy all lesson, I honestly feel like I'm about to die of boredom in lessons like that. What subject do you plan to specialise in?

Understanding is much better way to learn than remembering. When you think about what you read and can understand it, then you can usually remember the relevant parts after only one read.
I enjoyed this video thoroughly!

I can completely relate to that man. That's why I let my friends do the ordering. Cause if all of us take turns in ordering, we will NEVER finish everything.
This made my morning I just had a really terrible start this morning.
I pretty appreciate for making such a good video
I love your channel! I want to start a channel but I can't figure out how you can make it SOO amazing!
I love all of your videos big fan
Great resource for my English class!
you guys are great!!!

Thank You.🙏
Hey I liked those two guys!!! While its obvious that they are having so much fun and joking around about the things that they put in this video " 10 Life Lessons from Confucius", are indeed true to life deep lessons. Keep the good work.!!!! I truly enjoy it !!!
great words to live by...
love this video guys!!
Makes so much sense ....
Thanks Ford the Video mi learning about Confucius 😄👨🏻💻🐶🐬
I like this video thank you !!!!!
Great video i love all them Sayings :3 makes me all warm and fuzzy on the inside hehe
It just occurred to me how many of these lessons are relevant to struggling youtubers, particularly #1, #2, #3, #5, #8, and #9.
BEST VIDEO ON KZread
Thank you for this video! Really perfect timing since school's about to start! Great vid, guys! :)
very nice video guys some people need to see this
the silver rule you said is actually the golden rule because it came first what you like the others may not like and there is chance that you may hurt . so no doing something to others that you don't like definitely will not offence others. my simple thought..
omg this made me laugh so much!! I hadn't seen this video yet. omg the chinese accents you guys did when reading those looool. and omg I so agree when Mike said he preferred a bunny to a turtle!! hahahaha I can't stop laughing. Love you guys :)

I love this video
i like the one that says even if you go slow, dont stop.
LESS SILLY COMMENTS WOULD MAKE WHAT YOU TWO ARE DOING MUCH BETTER
As I've seen some if confushis qoutes come true ,he speaks to me thru everybody else ,to hide your your darkest moments your every thing that gives you beautiy, is only for your eyes only and only your eyes
Thankyou
Even the carnage, after a Compton drive-by relative to G-war, can truly be beautiful. It's important to look for the beauty.
