A gentleman has nine thoughts: looking for wisdom, listening for intelligence, looking for warmth, looking for respect, speaking for loyalty, acting with respect, doubting and questioning, thinking for anger and difficulty, and thinking for meaning after seeing.
(Confucius said: "A gentleman has nine kinds of thinking: when looking, he should think about whether he understood clearly; when listening, he should think about whether he heard clearly; when dealing with others, he should think about whether his face is gentle and whether his appearance is gentle. Whether it is respectful or not, when speaking, think about whether it is faithful, when doing things, think about whether it is serious, when you have questions, think about asking, when you are angry, think about the possible consequences, and when you see what is available, think about whether it is righteous. .")
