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 your best."
This selection says about government that sometimes the very rough times are the times you must try the hardest and not show your weariness. This selection would be helpful to the U.S. governement because it emphasizes that when "action must be taken, give your best," which means you must try your hardest when it is necessary. Government officials sometimes forget this in the daily grind of the present recession. It is difficult for them everyday and it is obvious that the government is getting tired and slightly desperate in some situations, such as in trying to find a good healthcare plan for everyone in the country and finding jobs for those who are unemployed. Out of obvious desperation the government just cut almost half of the post office workers to save money in the government. This is why the governement should hear this selection because it will remind them that through these tough times they must do their best even though it is tiring.
