- 1.1Learning and practising it in season
子曰:学而时习之,不亦说乎?有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎?人不知而不愠,不亦君子乎?
What you learned, keep taking out to practise and to do. Today: watching the tutorial ten times is watching another bird fly.
- 1.15Poor without flattery
子贡曰:贫而无谄,富而无骄,何如?子曰:可也。未若贫而乐,富而好礼者也。子贡曰:诗云:如切如磋,如琢如磨,其斯之谓与?子曰:赐也,始可与言诗已矣!告诸往而知来者。
Acknowledge what has been done, then push one step further. Today: from renting to owning without bowing or showing off — Confucius would say “that will do”.
