曾子（孔子學生，曾參）說："我每天多次自我反省－替人辦事是否盡心盡力呢？同朋友來往是否誠實呢？老師傳授的是否復習了呢？"
Zen Zi (Confucius student) said, "Everyday I search my heart many times - Am I doing my best (Zhong) when working for others? Am I honest (Xin) to my friends? Do I always review whatever learnt from teacher?"
傑狐說。
現在人說的"忠"比較狹義，主要是指效忠。忠孝仁義，"忠"以前是指有沒有把做的事放在心里（心和中），就是盡心盡力。然忠不能不講禮、不講義，去做不合法理的事不能謂之忠。要不然淪落成愚忠，我想不是孔子想看見的。職場的環境很複雜，應該怎樣呢？如果上司的要求合理，盡心盡力是應該的。如果不合理，那就應該去推辭。
現在人說"交友"，是什麼豬朋狗友都算。"友"在以前是指很親密的益友，並沒包括損友。所以對這樣的朋友還能不講信嗎？以前我身邊會有損友，也曾經掙扎為何朋友間會出賣、不講信用。也就因為不懂什麼才是真正的朋友，所以才會吃苦。盡心盡力和誠實忠信是對真正朋友而已。
學，也是很重要。論語第一句就是"學而時習之，不亦說乎"，在這裡的意思是一樣的。一個學問並不是聽一次就算會了，而是需要經過不斷溫習和思考來融會貫通的。踏踏實實雖然慢，卻是越走越亮。
最後就是，你今天反省了嗎？是虛度了？還是有意義的？
Jeff said.
Zhong means do you really put the things in you heart? And do the best. However, try your best to do bad and unreasonable things is not Zhong. Modern working environment is pretty complicated. My thought is if the job assigned by superior is reasonable and moral then you should do the best. Otherwise, you should reject it.
Friends, what type of people is your friends? In the era of Confucius, a true friends is those very close to you and virtuous, bad friends doesn't count. Therefore, honest and trust deserve for friends in this manner. In the past, I suffered for betraying and dishonest among friends because I don't know what the true meaning of friends. Today I won't confuse as I know what good friends deserve and what bad friends not.
Learning is also important. It never takes you one time to learn anything. It needs time to repeat, review, revise before you truly understand and embedded in your heart. Although it is slow process, you will be the most shining person in the end.
Lastly, you search your soul today? You wasted a day? Or your day is meaningful?
