In Love, Acknowledge Faults; in Hatred, Recognize Virtues
?
對(duì)所喜歡的人要知道他的缺點(diǎn)，對(duì)所厭惡的人要知道他的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。出自《禮記》。這是為歷代所崇尚的鑒察人的基本要領(lǐng)，即對(duì)人不依個(gè)人好惡而全面肯定或全面否定，而應(yīng)一分為二，客觀評(píng)價(jià)。既要辨別善惡，又要大度包容。其根本精神在于以道義為判斷標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，不使個(gè)人好惡凌駕于道義之上。領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者對(duì)于下屬尤須如此。

Acknowledging the imperfections in those we cherish, and recognizing the merits in those we despise – this profound principle, taken from?The Book of Rites, provides a timeless method for evaluating character. It resists sweeping acceptance or rejection of individuals based solely on personal preferences. Instead, it advocates for a measured analysis that invites objective evaluation, promoting the discernment of right from wrong while fostering a spirit of broad-minded tolerance. At its very heart, it maintains that moral integrity should be the compass guiding judgment, ensuring that personal inclinations do not outweigh moral principles. This wisdom rings particularly true for those who lead others.
