Confucius grew from "I am too young to be cheap, so I can do a lot of things contemptuously" to a "saint" worshipped by people, and his significance inspired learning and life.

One day, Taizai asked Zigong, "I'm afraid Confucius is a saint?" Why else does he have so many talents? Zi Gong replied, "God made Confucius a saint, so he is versatile. "

Confucius heard this and said, "How can Taizai know me? When I was a child, I learned a lot of ordinary skills because I was poor. Will a real gentleman have so many skills? Not much. "

Second, the enlightenment to study and life:

A person's versatility has nothing to do with whether he is a saint or not, but with the hard living environment, personal struggle and hard work, and firm belief.

Confucius (55 BC/KLOC-0 BC/-479 BC), named Zhong Ni, was born in the Spring and Autumn Period (now Qufu, Shandong). The founder of Confucianism, the most famous thinker, politician and educator in ancient China, had a far-reaching influence on the development of China's ideology and culture.

Confucius' ancestors were originally nobles in the Song Dynasty, but later they moved to Shandong to avoid the palace disaster. Confucius' father was a warrior, and although he was among the nobles, his status was very low.

In the twelfth year of Lu (498 BC), Confucius' political career reached its peak, that is, "big scouts take great events" and "listen to national politics" (Historical Records Confucius Family).
