Confucius Moment: February 13, 2016




Confucius Moment #1:
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do." 

Confucius was a high influential Chinese philosopher, teacher and political figure. 

His beliefs were based on the tenets of self-discipline. It was and is essential for leaders, Confucius said, to exercise self-discipline in order to remain humble and behave with compassion towards followers. This was leadership by example. Leaders should also persuade and inspire followers to be virtuous and teaching them proper conduct and to live with integrity. 

In America, Confucius is most famous for his Analects, a collection of his teachings. The Analects focus on creating honest and conscientious standards family and public interaction as well as educational paradigms. 

The weekly Confucius Moment is a regular feature of the Marvels of China: Pathways to the Pacific Rim show on AM 1490 WGCH Radio broadcasting from Greenwich, Connecticut USA and online to everyone at WGCH.com
