Chinese Role Model

Confucius doesn’t get tiered of saying incredibly wise things in the Analects. He says things that make you agree completely with his thoughts and his way of seeing life. He uses words that emphasize on what he is saying and give power to his writing. He uses words like “Goodness”, “gentlemen”, and “Master”. Confucius’ writings consist in the same thing almost all the time. “The Master said” is the most used phrase in starting a new sentence. Each time after repeating this phrase, Confucius says another intelligent and interesting this which makes you think about and later probably agree with him.

I would say Confucius is a great role model for everyone. He is one of those Wiseman from the past that influence the present. Thinking on what a great role model Confucius was, I remembered the beginning of 9th grade where in PDR class we studied about role models. At that time I thought about people like Abraham Lincoln, Alexander the Great, or Mahatma Gandhi. Now when I think about a role model to society I think about Confucius, Moses, Gilgamesh, or David. As I get to know more historical characters, each time I find more role models to life and to the world.
