What does it mean to do to others what you don't want them to do to you?

This sentence means that if you don't want to, don't impose it on others. Quoted from The Analects of Wei Linggong by Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The original words are: Nakamiya Wenren. Confucius said: Go out to see the big guests, so that the people can make a big sacrifice; Do to others what you don't want them to do to you; No complaints in the state, no complaints at home. Zhong Gong said: Yong Min, please talk to me.

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" literally means that you don't need to impose what you don't like on others.

The extended meaning of this sentence can be understood as that if you don't do well enough, you can't ask others to do better than yourself.

Everything in the world is equal. People must be tolerant and communicate with the world with a tolerant heart, so as to make fewer enemies for themselves. Otherwise, you will make enemies on all sides, and the road of life will get narrower and narrower.

From the perspective of dealing with interpersonal relationships, "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" is quite useful. For example, the boss assigned the same task to two employees of Party A and Party B. Because Party A's comprehensive ability far exceeded that of Party B, he completed the task well, but Party B didn't. At this time, neither the boss nor employee A can reprimand or even dig at employee B.

Because employee B and employee A are not at the same level, it is obviously unfair to let a primary school student compete with the most powerful college student.

Pull as hard as you can. As a boss or employee, you must understand this truth. You can't judge others by your own standards, which will only make others laugh at your IQ.

What people are most afraid of is that they can't understand each other and create barriers, which will encourage negative emotions, thus affecting unity and eventually making things stiff. Smart people often know how to make good use of people, know how to explore and mobilize everyone's advantages, and give full play to their respective roles.
