My BAD attempt at writing Confucian analects

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

A teacher is a tolling bell. Expressing oneself clearly and creatively must precede passion.

Beware of your shortcomings. The righteous aren’t always right.

It takes six months for a farmer to reap what he sows. It takes diligence for one to reach one’s goals.

Younglings need adults to teach them how to swim. Raw fish left unattended gets spoiled and rotten.

Choosing friends is like plucking the finest apple from a tree. Only by biting through can you taste its quality.

Taking responsibility is a multiple choice exam. Right choices yield good results while bad ones may lead to downfall.

Theory is experience’s twin and learning is their fusion. Of what use is a pen when one knows not how to write?
