Selected passages:
A gentleman knows both teaching and being taught, and then he can be a teacher. Therefore, the teaching of a gentleman is figurative. Tao leads, strong and restrained, open and far-reaching.
Translation:
A gentleman can become a good teacher if he knows both the experience of successful teaching and the reasons of teaching failure. Therefore, teachers teach people, that is, to inspire and induce: to induce students without pulling; Persuade but not suppress; Instruct students to study, not tell them the answers directly.
