Zixia (one of Confucius' disciples) said, "One can be said to be fond of learning if one knows daily what has not yet been learned and does not forget every month what has been learned," (Wangdao 157).
Today is October 19 and I have been in China exactly two months. Some evaluation is probably long overdue so that is why this week's analect is so perfect. I believe it is a perfect analect to start a new week with, and, since this is pretty much my half-way point in Chengdu, a great way to get a second wind. I predict that many good experiences will come this week if I put as much energy into remembering and learning from this analect as I have during the first few weeks of the experiment.
