Statue of Confucius (551-479 BCE)


Poem Artwork

The famously known master of old

Once met his numerous students

With the following words, saying:

"Among a group of walking men,

There is at least one who ought to be

My tutor. As for the rest of them,

I choose that which is good in them

And imitate it, and that which is bad

In order to amend it within myself."

We all carry good and bad traits...there is always a leader among us, whether you have been chosen by your peers or knowing you have those qualities, Alexander.

Always,
Deborah

When my fellow classmates would complain about a bad professor or badly acting professor, I would always tell them that I learned something from every professor that I had. From some, I learned the right thing to do and from some, I learned what not to do.

Indeed, a very interesting concept, one which I try to adhere to, follow (imitate) the good you see in others and change the bad that we see in ourselves. Timely insight. John
