识人辨人,不能光听他说了什么话,还要听其言、观其行。
To distinguish people, one should not only listen to what they say, but also observe their words and actions.
《道德经》有言:夫轻诺必寡信。
The Tao Te Ching says: If a man is light in his promise, he will be weak in his faith.
那些轻易许诺的人,喜欢夸夸其谈、炫耀吹嘘,往往是语言上的巨人、行动上的矮子,不可交、不可信。
Those who make promises easily, like to boast and show off, are often giants in language and dwarfs in action, unapproachable and untrustworthy.
守信的人,不会胡吹海侃,也不会轻易许诺,而是三思而后言,言出必行,行必有果。
A person who keeps their word will not boast or make promises easily. Instead, they will think twice before speaking, follow through with their words, and achieve results with their actions.
辨识一个人的习性,就看其是否言行一致,这既是识人之法,更是交友之道。
Identifying a person's habits depends on whether their words and actions are consistent. This is not only a method of identifying people, but also a way of making friends.
诚实可靠、说到做到的人,值得信任、值得深交。
Honest and reliable people who keep their promises are trustworthy and worthy of deep friendship.
