Confucius’s words of thanks to his teacher are as follows:
1. Scholars in ancient times were for themselves, but today’s scholars are for others.
Translation: Confucius said: "In ancient times, people studied to cultivate themselves, but now people study to show off." The purpose of learning is not to have a house of gold in the book, a thousand bells of millet, or a face like jade. But for the perfection of self-personality. This is the most important lesson teachers teach students.
2. I worry about not cultivating virtues, not learning about them, not being able to move after hearing the righteousness, and not being able to correct bad deeds.
Translation: Confucius said: "My morals are not well cultivated, my knowledge is not taught well, I hear what I should do but do not do it, and I cannot correct my shortcomings immediately. This is my sorrow." As a teacher, Students are often encouraged to make progress, but they should not be complacent. They should strive to pursue their own perfection and set an example for students.
3. If you can cultivate yourself and above, I will not be without teachings.
Translation: Confucius said: "There is no one above the age of fifteen who I do not teach." Teachers are the most noble cause. As long as there are people who want to learn, there is no reason not to teach.
4. Do the second and third sons hide from me? I have nothing to hide. I have nothing to do but do not cooperate with my two or three sons, this is Qiuye.
Translation: Confucius said: "Do you think I have something to hide? I have nothing to hide from you. All my actions are shown before your eyes. That is my style." As long as the disciples are determined to seek the truth , how can a teacher not teach everything he has? Most importantly, teaching by example is more important than teaching by words.
