Confucius had three disciples - Gong, Lu and Zhang. Once a wandering monk asked him:<\/p>\n

\u2013 What about your student Goon?<\/p>\n

- He is so clever that even the most eminent scientists admire him.<\/p>\n

\u2013 And what are Lou's merits?<\/p>\n

\u2013 His bravery surpasses the courage of even the most famous warriors.<\/p>\n

\u2013 And your third student?<\/p>\n

\u2013 Zhang's hard work is admirable.<\/p>\n

The monk was surprised to hear these words of the great Confucius and asked him:<\/p>\n

\u2013 But if one is so clever, another so brave, and the third so industrious, what else can they learn from you, teacher?<\/p>\n

"Gun is smart, but lazy," began Confucius. "Lou is brave but foolish." And Zhang is hardworking but envious. Gun still does not know that the mind cannot bring happiness to a person if he is lazy. Lou has yet to learn that boldness without reason leads to doom. And Zhang must understand that joy cannot coexist with envy.<\/strong> So, as you can see, my students don't know anything yet. And until they understand these truths, I will be their teacher and they will be my students.<\/p>\n
