Confucius' famous words to his teachers are as follows:

1. Confucius said, "It's not bad to learn from time to time. Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? Isn't it a gentleman to be ignorant and not satisfied? "

Confucius said, "isn't it pleasant to review and practice after learning?" Isn't it nice to have like-minded people coming from afar? People don't understand my theory, and I don't resent or get angry. Aren't I also a virtuous gentleman? "

from: Spring and Autumn Period. The Analects of Confucius

2. Zeng Zi said, "I visit myself three times a day, and I am unfaithful for others." Make friends without believing them? Can't you learn it? "

Ceng Zi said, "I have to reflect on myself many times every day: Is it faithful to give advice and do things for others? Are friends trustworthy? Have you reviewed the knowledge taught by the teacher? "

from: Spring and Autumn Period. Confucius The Analects of Confucius

3. Confucius said, "Reviewing the past and learning new things can be a teacher."

Confucius said, "When you review old knowledge, you can understand new things, so you can become a teacher."

4. Confucius said, "Learning without thinking is useless, and thinking without learning is dangerous."

Confucius said: "If you don't think deeply when reading, the more you learn, the more confused you become;" Thinking without reading is nothing. "

from: Spring and Autumn Period. The Analects of Confucius

5. Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask questions.

Translation: I am smart and eager to learn, and I am not ashamed to ask for advice from people below me with an open mind.
