警惕物质诱惑，保持内心独立。
"It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success."
Curiosity is the driving force of science.
【译文】 宰予白天睡觉。孔子说：“他象朽木一样无法雕琢，象粪墙一样无法粉刷，我能拿他怎样？”孔子又说：“以前我看人，他说什么，我信什么；现在我看人，听他说，再看他做。因为宰予，我改了过来。”
真正的领导力是为他人服务，而不是为自己。
