Misfortune, that is where happiness

s. Nothing is perfect, not even
in the olden days.

what polished and grinding are to jade.
三人行,必有我师焉。择其善者而从之,其不善者而改之。
Among any three people walking, I will
find something to learn for sure. Their good
qualities are t
o be followed, and their
shortcomings are to be avoided.
士不可以不弘毅,任重而道远。仁
以为己任,不亦重乎?死而后己,不亦远乎?
An
educated gentleman cannot but be resolute and
broad-minded, for he has taken up a heavy
res
ponsibility and a long course. Is it
not a heavy responsibility, which is to practice
benevolence? Is it
not a long course,
which will end only with his death?

志,劳其筋骨,饿其体肤,空乏其身,行拂乱其所为,所以动心忍
性,增益其所不能。<
/p>
When Heaven is about to
place a great responsibility on a great man, it
always first frustrates his s
pirit and

to starvation and poverty, harasses hi
m
by troubles and setbacks so as to stimulate his
spirit, toughen his nature and enhance his
abilitie
s.
天生我才必有用。
Heaven
has endowed me with talents for eventual use.
天时不如地
利,地利不如人和。
Opportunities vouchsafed by Heaven are
less important than terrestrial advantages, which
in turn
are less important than the
unity among people.

As
Heaven’s
movement is ever vigorous, so must a gentleman
ceaselessly strive along.
温故而知新,可以为师矣。
He
who by reviewing the old can gain knowledge of the

以已。
青取之于蓝,而青于蓝;冰,水为之,而寒于冰。君子博学而日参省乎己,则知明
而行无过矣。
There is never an end
to learning. The dye extracted from the indigo is
bluer than the plant; so is th
e ice
colder than the water. By broadly learning and
constantly examining himself every day, the
g

makes fewer mistakes.
学而不思则罔,思而不学则殆。
