The First Teacher
Early life was humble Failure in terms of his own ambitions At age 50 began a career as a
wandering teacher Failure as a politician – yet,
undoubtedly one of world’s greatest teachers
With his death came his glorification

competent, poised, confident

Chun tzu
If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character;
If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home.
If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.

Li Propriety – the way things

mean when we use words You are never alone when
you act – every action affects someone else
The family is the basic unit of society – venerate the elders because they have wisdom
Blue print for a well conducted life

Te Literally means
power Oppressive rule is
more cruel than a tiger
The power of moral example
Springs from inherent righteousness
