To be constantly learning and
practicing what you learn, isn't it the greatest joy of all ?
To have
bosom friends who share your learning from all over the world, doesn't it bring
the greatest happiness ?
To be
unknown to people and yet remain undisturbed, isn't that an act of the most
virtuous man ?

The Analects , Chapter 1:1
"I have
a lot of respect for people, not because of their talent but for what they do
with their talent and how they
get the maximum from their talent.
What do you do to get talent? You have the right genes, or the right parents.
But what
you do with that talent is down to you. I have met many people who had
lots of talent, but they never did anything."
--- Arsene Wenger on "talent", Sep 2007
