  Confucius said, "If you are strict with yourself and do only what is right, even if you don't command, others will do the right thing, while if you are not strict with yourself, even if you command, others won't obey."

  [Analysis and Evaluation]

  We ourselves are examples, set a good example itself has strong persuasion. You can only command others only if you are strict with yourself and set a good example. this is not only integral in doing things , but also a reflection of cultivation. In hospital, if facing unreasonable demands of the other with doctor-patient relationship, their first reaction is to oppose and resist, and then seek further solution, if the solution is not so satisfactory, they will complain, and it would have a negative impact for their own physical and mental health. so it had elevate a higher demand for each other's virtue cultivation. That is the body up-straight and so is the heart. Persuade others with virtue and a fact-finding mission.
