The sensible world is an image of the intellectual.
The power of abstraction is that it allows us to ignore details that are not relevant to the task at hand.
君子容易事奉,但要想讨得他的喜欢则很难。以不正当的方式讨他喜欢,他是不会喜欢的;但他在用人上,却能做到量才使用。小人难以事奉,但要想博得他的欢心则很容易。如果以不正当的手段讨他喜欢,他是会喜欢的;但当他用人时,则会求全责备。
The future is not something we enter. The future is something we create.
