But what is the definition of good company?
兩千五百多年以前，孔夫子教導自己的門生要結交誠實、真摯并通過教育及經(jīng)歷獲得智慧的朋友。
More than two thousand five hundred years ago, Confucius taught his pupils to make friends with those who were honest, sincere and had gained wisdom through education and experience.
他講的道理仍適用于我們的現(xiàn)代社會。
His principle is still suitable for our modern society. Good companions will advise you, comfort you and support you whenever you are in need.
益友會在你有困難時規(guī)勸你、安慰你并支持你。
In short, good company matures you and inspires you to continue advancing through life.
簡言之，益友使你的思想成熟并能激勵你在一生中不斷進步。
