In Confucianism it is said, "Cultivate virtue in the manner of a thief." This means that you should be as inconspicuous in your actions as though you were secretly trying to steal something. To act secretively here means that you should not be concerned whether others see you doing something or not. Simply go ahead with your action and do it as a matter of course. Those who act virtuously only when others are looking, but do the opposite when others are absent, are mere hypocrites.
