The Great Divergence: Confucius on the Inner-Directed vs. Outer-Directed Life

By / / blame, mindset, responsibility, self-reliance, The Analects, Wei Ling Gong XV
Confucius said: “The noble man seeks the cause within himself; the petty man seeks it in others.”

What the superior man seeks, is in himself. What the mean man seeks, is in others.

君子求诸己，小人求诸人。
