“The superior man understands what is right the inferior man understands what will sell.”
— Confucius
Simplified Meaning:
A good person knows how to make the right choices, while a person who only cares about money thinks about what he can profit from. Imagine two shopkeepers: one focuses on selling healthy, honest goods because he wants to help people live better lives, even if it means earning less; the other sells whatever makes the most money, even if it's harmful or dishonest. The first shopkeeper is driven by values and doing good, the second by greed and making a quick buck. The idea here is to value doing the right thing over just making money. Applying this to your life means focusing on being kind, fair, and ethical in your decisions, rather than just thinking about how much you can gain. This mindset leads to respect and trust from others, while the opposite can harm relationships and reputation.
