    They help to restrain resentment.
    They bring home the duty of serving
    one’s parent’s and one’s prince.”

    Who are you?


    I am my relationship to …..
    CONFUCIUS:
    • Leaders who are educated are
    altruistic. The notion of altruism
    is deeply rooted in the
    traditional Confucian
    leadership.
    • A good government should rule
    by virtue and moral example
    rather than punishment or force.
