Meet Arina, a student from Armenia and Russia. She loves learning about Confucius because his teachings make sense even now. π€
What’s so special about Confucius?
- Self-Cultivation: Confucius believed that we should always try to improve ourselves. Arina thinks that when we work on becoming better people, we can help make the world a better place! π
- Family Harmony: He taught that happy families lead to happy communities. In Armenia, there’s a saying: “Every person is the blacksmith of their own house.” π¨ It means we all shape our own homes. Arina sees this as just like Confucius’s ideas!
- Good Governance and Peace: Confucius believed that when people and families do well, the whole country benefits. It’s like a domino effect of goodness! ποΈ
Arina feels connected to Confucius’s teachings because they show how one person’s actions can make a big difference. She reminds us that by improving ourselves, we can help our families, communities, and even the world! π«
So, what can you do today to make a positive change? Maybe learn something new, help out at home, or be kind to a friend. Every little action counts! π
