Imagine a world where trust isn't just a nice-to-have but the very fabric of society 🙌. In Confucianism, \"Xin\" (信), or trust, plays that pivotal role. Confucius once said, \"How can you be a person if your words are not to be trusted?\" 💬
Ragnar Baldursson, Iceland's former minister counselor to China, delves deep into this concept. During his time in the Middle Kingdom 🐉, Baldursson uncovered how \"Xin\" isn't just an ancient idea but a living principle in contemporary Chinese governance.
\"Trust is the glue that holds everything together,\" he shares. \"In China, it's not just about individual honesty but cultivating a trustworthy society.\"
For Latin American youth navigating a rapidly changing world 🌎, understanding \"Xin\" offers a fresh perspective on the importance of trust in community and leadership.
So next time you make a promise, remember the wisdom of Confucius and the insights of Baldursson: trust is everything 💎.
