Quoting Kong Zi

This is a very obscure blog but I celebrate my 500th blog post with a profound statement from Confucius. I find it extremely helpful for it calls for modesty and humility. And who does not need that.

The Master Said, "He with whom neither slander that gradually soaks into the mind, nor statements that startle like a wound in the flesh, are successful, may be called intelligent indeed. Yea, he with whom neither soaking slander, nor startling statements, are successful, may be called farseeing". The Analects of Confucius by Tsai Chih Chung (Location 667 on Kindle Version)
