Book XII. 14 Tzu-chang asked about government. The Master said, "Over daily routine do not show weariness, and when there is action to be taken, give of your best."
This idea on leadership by Confucius is a helpful concept for modern American Politicians. What this is saying is that no matter what happens the leader of society cannot show weakness of weariness in everyday life because they need to be strong for the rest of the country. For example as president now Obama has to be strong for the rest of the country even in this bad economy. Even if he struggles with his daily life as President he still needs to appear strong for the country and always has to give his best effort all the time. This is good advice for a politician because it shows how much you need to give for the people you represent.
