達巷黨人曰：「大哉孔子！博學而無所成名。」子聞之，謂門弟子曰：「吾何執？執御乎？執射乎？吾執御矣！」

子罕第九·九之二

This is a direct reading: the original and source are kept; commentary will be added later.

凡民之生也，必以正乎；所以失之者，必以喜樂哀怒。節怒莫若樂，節樂莫若禮，守禮莫若敬。外敬而內靜者，必反其性。豈無利事哉，我無利心；豈無安處哉，我無安心。心之中又有心，意以先言。意然後刑，刑然后思，思然后知。凡心之刑，過知先王，是故內聚以爲原。泉之不竭，表裏遂通；泉之不涸，四支堅固。能令用之，被服四固。是故聖人一言解之，上察於天，下察於地。

In consequence of those different acts, the greater part of the taxes, which before had been anticipated only for a short term of years were rendered perpetual, as a fund for paying, not the capital, but the interest only, of the money which had been borrowed upon them by different successive anticipations.

「請問爲邊若何？」對曰：「夫邊日變，不可以常知觀也。民未始變而是變，是爲自亂。請問諸邊而參其亂，任之以事。因其謀，方百里之地，樹表相望者，丈夫走禍，婦人備食。內外相備，春秋一日，敗曰千金，稱本而動。候人不可重也，唯交於上，能必於邊之辭。行人可不有私，不有私，所以爲內因也。使能者有主矣，而內事。」

For the next year, with $25 a month, I kept my position, learning the details and clerical work connected with such a business. It was a wholesale produce commission and forwarding concern, my department being particularly the office duties. Just above me was the bookkeeper for the house, and he received $2,000 a year salary in lieu of his share of the profits of the firm of which he was a member. At the end of the first fiscal year when he left I assumed his clerical and bookkeeping work, for which I received the salary of $500.
