Quote by Confucius

The faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. They have their faults, and everyone sees them they change and everyone looks up to them.

The faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. T

Summary

This quote suggests that even great individuals, like the sun and the moon, have their flaws that are visible to all. However, just like people constantly turn their gaze towards these celestial bodies despite their imperfections, others still admire and look up to those superior individuals despite their faults. It highlights the idea that even those we consider superior or successful are not without their flaws, yet they remain sources of inspiration and respect for others.

[Patricia Greenfield] concluded that every medium develops some cognitive skills at the expense of others. Our growing use of the Net and other screen-based technologies has led to the widespread and sophisticated development of visual-spatial skills. We can, for example, rotate objects in our minds better than we used to be able to. But our new strengths in visual-spatial intelligence go hand in hand with a weakening of our capacities for the kind of deep processing that underpins mindful knowledge acquisition, inductive analysis, critical thinking, imagination, and reflection.
