Someone else taught you a lesson—that is someone else’s ability. If you can’t get out of it, that is your incompetence.

Sima Yi once said: “To see others’ shortcomings—there is not a single person in the world you can’t befriend. To see others’ strengths—entirely, everyone in the world is my teacher.”
Along the way, there are no enemies—only teachers.
Cut down my innocence, kill my childishness, refine my temperament, temper my sinews and bones.
What awakens you is never just reason—it is experience.
