To study and constantly, is this not a pleasure? To have friends come from far away places, is this not a joy? If people do not recognize your worth, but this does not worry you, are you not a true gentleman?

Confucius
About This Quote

If we study and constantly work hard, we get pleasure from it. It is a joy for us to meet friends from far away places and share our experiences with them. If people don’t recognize your worth, you should not worry about it. You need to be a gentleman who cares about other people even when you do not get recognition for your work.
