Based on this past week’s readings, would you lean toward or identify with principles of Confucianism or Daoism (in all of their variation or schools of thought)?

For me, I identify with principles of Confucianism because I educated from Confucianism principles in China. Confucianism probably is the biggest influence in education of China through out the entire Chinese history. Influenced by Confucianism, in Chinese culture, an intellectual is not limited in study alone. He should be successful in being a human and in his bearing of himself. A key objective of an intellectual should be to make full use of his power, personality and intelligence to do well for the state, society and the world. This idea is so valuable that we cannot help asking why the products of today’s education system are far from sufficient! Why do not we pay attention to our forefather’s center values instead of wasting so much of our time and energy in word puzzles!
