  Mencius said that "The great man is he who does not lose his child's heart." The Chinese philosopher Mencius believed that the key to being a great person was to retain one's innate sense of morality and goodness, which he referred to as the "child's heart." This meant staying true to one's inner nature and not allowing external influences to corrupt one's character. By maintaining this purity of heart, one could become a truly great person,

  DI have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them

  Mencius stresses that a great man should havehigh aspirations to carry out Dao,adhere to moral integrity,stay upright, and his observation of Dao should not be influenced by external matters (as opposed to his inner world).Living in the broad residence under heaven,staying in the proper place under heaven, one should obverse the essential Dao under heaven. When having achieved one's ambitions,one should practiceDao along with the people;when failing to succeed in one's ambitions,one should observe Dao alone.Neither riches nor honors can corrupt him;neither poverty nor humbleness can make him swerve from his principles;neither threat nor force can subdue him.Such a person can be called a great man.

  The great man will live in the broadest house in the world, the great man will stand in the most correct position, and the great man will walk on the widest road in the sky. When the ideal can be realised, the great man will walk on the right path with the people of the world. When the ideal can't  be realised, the great man will adhere to his own principles and be different. A great man is always unmoved in the face of the temptation of money. No matter how poor he is, he will not shake his will. No matter how much threat and oppression he is, he will not bow his head. This is a great man.

  Mencius defines a "Great Man" as an individual of exceptional moral character, demonstrating leadership, commitment to societal good, and personal cultivation. He asserts that adversity shapes a Great Man, who embodies righteousness, propriety, and benevolence, inspiring virtue and contributing positively to society.

  Mencius, a Chinese philosopher, believed that great men are made, not born. He emphasized the importance of self-cultivation and moral development in becoming a great person. According to Mencius, anyone has the potential to become a great man through hard work, self-discipline, and adherence to moral principles. He believed that moral integrity, benevolence, and compassion were essential qualities for a great person to possess.
