A word from Confucius has become the mantra of modern people. Do you know which one?
Confucius said, "Rotten wood can't be carved, nor can the wall of dung be carved." The first half of this sentence has become the mantra of modern people to express their ridicule of some fools.

However, this sentence was actually what Confucius scolded his students at that time. And his disappointing students are well-known. They usually listen to teachers and have strong debating ability. It is often the kind of argument that defeats a large number of people in the class, but he also has his own small problem, that is, he is usually lazy. Besides, I prefer to lie in bed in the morning. It is often that other students come to the classroom early to wait for the teacher, while he is still sleeping.

At first, Confucius didn't take this matter to heart, thinking that he might study hard at ordinary times and sleep late at night. Then he came to the classroom, and Confucius also carefully enlightened him to arrange his time reasonably and try not to be late. However, such careful guidance is not very effective. Although, the day before, Jae-woo promised very well, saying that he would come into the classroom early tomorrow and would not let his classmates and teachers down. However, the next day, as usual, the sun is about to rise to the highest point, but he hasn't come yet. Confucius sent a student directly to his home to call him. And when he came, he saw his embarrassing appearance, wearing pajamas, his face unwashed and his face sloppy.

Confucius finally had enough and scolded him. If you think you are teaching well, but you don't listen, you still follow your own ideas, which is really difficult to self-discipline.
