I Can Always Be Certain Of Learning
"The Master said, In the presence of a good man, think all the time how you may learn to equal him. In the presence of o bad man, turn your gaze within!"
Love it.
Confucius says it another way as well: "The Master said, Even when walkin in a party of no more than three I can always be certain of learning from those ! am with. There will be good qualities that I can select for imitation and bad ones that will teac me what requires correction in myself."
Isn't that a great approach?
If we let it be, life is our classroom rich wit opportunities to expand our perspective and develop our consciousness.
