One day Confucius was asked by one of his students, Zi Lu, "Is it right that I may just go and do it whenever I hear about something of significance?"

Confucius answered, "That is not the case! Because you are needed in your home by your father and brother."

Later, another student, Ran Qiu, asked Confucius, "May I just go and do it whenever I hear about something worth doing?" "Yes, it is good for you to do it when you hear about something worth doing."

Another student, Gong Xihua, noticing that Confucius' answers to the same question were different from each other, asked why. Confucius replied, "Ran Qiu has a modest and gentledisposition(性情，处置). So I encourage him to be brave and go forward. Zi Lu usually is hot- headed, so he should be taught to scruple(微量，顾虑) before action."

When Confucius was traveling around all the states, he was once surrounded by crowds in Chen Cai district, and had not eaten a thing for seven days.

Yan Hui managed to get some rice and cooked it in no time.

When the rice was almost ready, Confucius saw him taking a snatch at the rice and put it into his mouth.

When the rice was ready, Yan Hui brought it to Confucius. Confucius pretended that he had not seen him eating the rice, and said he wanted to use the rice as a sacrifice to his father.

Hearing this, Yan Hui hurriedly said, "No. Just now some ashes dropped in it and smeared(涂抹，弄脏) the rice. I have taken out the smeared rice and eaten it."

After hearing this, Confucius sighed, "People tend to believe their eyes, but what you see with your eyes is not always true. People also tend to trust their own judgments, but judgments could be wrong sometimes. So remember, it is difficult to know a person."
