1. Confucius said: Three friends will benefit you, and three friends will harm you. Friends who are straightforward, friends who are forgiving, friends who are well-informed, are beneficial; friends who are friendly are open-minded, friends who are gentle, friends who are sycophantic, are harmed.

◎Vernacular interpretation: Confucius said: "There are three kinds of helpful friends, and there are three kinds of harmful friends. Friends who are upright, friends who are honest and trustworthy, and friends who are knowledgeable will all benefit. "It will be harmful to make friends with people who are accustomed to decorating their appearance but are not sincere in their hearts, to make friends with people who are good at flattering and pretending to be flattering, and to make friends with people who are clever in words and argumentative and have no real knowledge.
