Joel Hagstrom- Confucius on Virtue

The Chinese teacher Confucius touched on many topics while he was alive.  One of Confucius' many well known topics is virtue.  Confucius says that "the superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort."  The meaning behind this quote is that doing the right thing can sometimes be hard, but it is those individuals who step out of their comfort zones that stand out against the crowd.  Especially in today's world the majority seek to blend in and stay within their mundane comfort zones.  Character is based on one's virtues and make the man/woman stand out.  I think that Confucius was ahead of his time by stating his thoughts on virtue.  The "superior man", as Confucius puts it, incorporates being virtuous into his/her character, not just in certain moments.  By holding virtue as a fundamental component of one's being, although it is not always easy, one can excel where others falter and really make an impact on those around him/her.  But do you think the common man only thinks of comfort?  What other characteristics compose this "superior man"?
