For the gentleman-in-waiting, virtue
consisted above all in grace and style, in doing
well what was appropriate to his
position; education was merely a way of acquiring
polish.
And vice
was manifested in gracelessness, awkwardness, in
behaving
inappropriately,discourteously, or
ostentatiously.
For the
apprentice, however, virtue was evidenced in
success through hard work.
The requisite qualities of character
were not grace or style, but drive, determination,
and a sharp eye for opportunity.
While casual liberality and
even prodigality characterized thegentleman,
frugality,
thrift, and self-control
came to distinguish the new apprentice.
And while the gentleman did
not aspire to a higher station because his station
was
already high, the apprentice was
continually becoming,striving, struggling upward.
Failure for the apprentice
meant standing still,not rising.

The picture above does illustrate the
topic of greatness and all
of us
acknowledge that greatness, a noble
characteristic, is sharedby people such as
Gandhi, Chairman Mao, and Martin Luther
King Jr., what this picture demonstrates is
that this life-affirming quality very
often rests in the ordinary. The quality of
greatness
is not the exclusive province
of thoserecognized publicly for their deeds. We
are all
capable of seeing with love and
acting from the heart---two essential qualities of
those
who accomplish the selfless deeds
that transform the world for the better. It is the
choice FanDangYu,an ordinary policeman
in HeBei province of China, makes, for
example, when faced with a call to
action, no matter how seemingly small or grand,
that sets apart and elevates his esteem
in others' eyes, and even successfully softens
the harsh image of Chinese
Policeman.
