Story:

During the Spring and Autumn period, the renowned great thinker Confucius often educated people about the importance of trustworthiness and integrity.

He said, "If a person is without trustworthiness, I do not know how they can succeed or function. It's like a large carriage without its yoke for the horses, or a small carriage without its crossbar for the axle as – how can they possibly move? To be a person, one must be true to their word in order to gain the trust of others."
