物以类聚。这是自古而然的，乃是造物者当初造物所订下的律则，更是宇宙间万物参赞化育的自然之道，不可移易。不是吗？火就燥。水流湿。不是吗？牛吃草。猫吃鱼。至于人类，不也是一样？丑恶总是集向坏人。荣誉总是归诸好人。连为恶都会“臭味相投”呢！你听！孔子说了：“人之过也，各以其党。观过知人！”

勤劳和懒惰是人们的两个好朋友。他们也找“臭味相投”的人而处。

如果那人散漫，浪荡，不经心，不努力，只知享受，不愿吃苦，只想乘凉，不愿流汗，只求收获，不愿耕耘，懒惰便会跑去接近他，很自然地成为他的朋友，然后慢慢地带他去接近贫乏、困顿、疾病、衰弱、痛苦、罪恶、失败，甚至毁灭……。

如果那人踏实，肯干，认真工作，不怕流汗，不怕吃苦，能耐劳，愿尽心尽力，愿动手动脚动脑，努力负责，勤劳便会喜欢他，接近他，送给他微笑，和他结为好朋友，带给他富裕、健康、力量、快乐、满足、荣誉和成功……。

相信你必然不喜欢贫乏、困顿、衰弱、痛苦、罪恶、失败甚至毁灭，必然喜欢富裕、健康、力量、快乐、满足、荣誉和成功！那么，你要怎么做，才能让勤劳接近你，成为你的好朋友？

Hardworking  Hsu ChiCheng

Things of a kind come together. This is the same from ancient. It’s the rule created by the creator, is more the way the nurture of the universe, it can’t exchange. Is it not so? Fire ignites the dry. Water flows to the wet. Is it not so? Cattle take grass. Cat takes fish. As to human being, isn’t it the same? Ugly often gets gather toward evil man. Honor often belongs to kind man. Even do evil will friends attracted to each other by common tastes! Hear! Said by Confucius: “ About the fault of person, belongs to party member. We can know a person in seeking his fault.”
