省察以后，若知是过，即力改之。…… 改过之事，乃是十分光明磊落，足以表示伟大之人格。故子贡云：「君子之过也，如日月之食焉；过也人皆见之，更也人皆仰之。」又古人云：「过而能知，可以谓明。知而能改，可以即圣。」

《改过实验谈》
After self-examination, if knowing there is a fault, immediately diligently correct it… The practice of correcting faults, thus is being open and aboveboard, enough for expressing the greatness of human character. Thus, Zǐ Gòng said, ‘A fault of a noble person, is like an eclipse of the sun or moon. Having a fault, also with others all seeing it, having an amendment, also with others all admiring it.’ Also, an ancient person said, ‘Those who have faults and are able to know them, can be called to be clear. Those who know and are able to correct them, can then be noble persons.’
