The following quotes are translations of statements made by the famous philosopher, Confucius. After reading all of the quotes, choose the one that you think modern-day students should follow. In one paragraph (or more if you need it), explain the reasoning for your choice, cite specific examples where your opinion can be proven, and make a connection to your own personal experiences.
