“Attack the evil that is within yourself, rather than attacking the evil that is in others.”
— Confucius

Simplified Meaning:
Instead of focusing on the wrongs others do, work on improving your own faults first. For example, if you see someone being lazy at work, don't be quick to judge them. Instead, think about times you might not have given your best effort and how you can do better. It’s like when people say, “Clean up your own backyard before telling others to clean up theirs.” If everyone works on becoming better themselves, the whole community improves. It's more productive and fair to concentrate on your own self-improvement. This way, you can lead by example and inspire others to do the same.
