Time for another piece of Confucianism too.

When in Confucius' presence anyone sang a song that he liked, he did not join in at once, but asked for it to be repeated and then joined in. Analects VII.31
It's not one of the more popular nor oft quoted lines from Confucius, but looking through the Analects it stuck in my mind. We could do with more of this attitude ... to listen carefully, to pay close attention, to make sure you properly understand a situation before you attempt to join in ... that is part of learning true wisdom, anywhere in the world.
