看他人錯失處,當反觀內自省;說他人是非處,當勘驗己德虧。
見賢思齊,見不賢而內自省,他人錯失之處,自己未必不會重蹈覆轍,設若自己遇相同之事,是否可以處之泰然、應對得當,不失儀節,故見之而引以為鑑,且不以此為他人把柄口實,四處散布,揚人之惡,譏人之短,妄論是非,反使自身德行缺漏。
When you look at other people’s faults, you should reflect on yourself; when you speak of other people’s rights and wrongs, you should examine deficiencies in your own virtues.
