The Superior Man Is Intelligently, Not Blindly,

Knowing Something Is Not As Good As Liking It. Liking Something Is Not As Good As Rejoicing In It.

Never Hesitate To Ask A Lesser Person.

The Superior Man Honors His Virtuous Nature, And Maintains Constant Inquiry And Study, Seeking To Carry It Out To Its Breadth And Greatness, So As To Omit None Of The More Exquisite And Minute Points Which It Embraces, And To Raise It To Its Greatest Height And Brilliancy.

As In The Case Of Making A Mound, If, Before The Very Last Basketful, I Stop, Then I Shall Have Stopped. As In The Case Of Leveling The Ground, If, Though Tipping Only One Basketful, I Am Going Forward, Then I Shall Be Making Progress.

Eat At Your Own As You Would The Table Of A King.
