Laozi's Ideas on Being Like Water What is the best virtue （美德）？What can we learn from water？Laozi，a famous Chinese philosopher （哲学家） who lived around 2，500 years ago，might give us an answer.
Laozi tells us that the top character is just like water.All life in the world cannot live without water，but water never asks for anything in return.It just keeps giving quietly.Also，water often stays where people don't like.This kind of low profile （低姿态） makes water the closest to the law of the universe.It seems that we have always taken qualities like bravery and toughness as great virtues，but we should not forget what water has taught us.
In dealing with people，we can act as water.Do our best to help others without trying to get fame or benefit.At the same time，stay humble （谦虚的）.It's unwise to always talk about the favors you did to others.Even if no one cares about you in a difficult situation，you need to stay calm.After all，water will not choose where to be，and it just flows to where it is needed.
The Chinese nation has always valued Laozi's ideas about water.In 2014，President Xi Jinping mentioned it at the welcome dinner of the 22nd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Beijing.He said APEC members are brought together by the water of the Pacific Ocean and have a shared responsibility to make the Pacific an ocean of peace，friendship and cooperation.
