Features: Everyone should know and everyone must practice. Virtue builds a happy life. Virtue, which means goodness and noble morality, is one of the three essential qualities of a person and serves as a compass for life's journey, as well as the spiritual cornerstone of outstanding individuals. The Gift: A Book of Virtues clearly and unambiguously introduces 23 core virtues: justice, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-discipline, labor, diligence, courage, perseverance, wisdom, hope, tolerance, compassion, friendship, love, new love, honesty, straightforwardness, responsibility, trustworthiness, loyalty, dedication, and workplace commitment. The Gift: A Book of Virtues combines concise and insightful explanations with delightful and engaging stories, where the explanations and stories complement each other. It avoids preaching and avoids being overly conventional, achieving the effect of speaking directly to the heart, penetrating deep into the soul, and nourishing people subtly.
How can virtue be cultivated? The answer is simple. The establishment of virtue depends on actually doing it—action speaks louder than words; it depends on starting with small steps—without accumulating small streams, there can be no great rivers; it depends on repeated training and continuous self-cultivation to form habits—Rome wasn't built in a day. In short, cultivating virtue requires devout belief and faithful practice.
