The importance of knowing names


By Paulo Coelho

Zilu asked Confucius:
‘If King Wen were to ask you to govern the country, what would your first action be?’
‘I would learn the names of my advisers.’
‘What nonsense! That is hardly a matter of great concern to a prime minister.’
‘A man cannot hope to receive help from what he does not know,’ replied Confucius. ‘If he does not understand Nature, he will not understand God. In just the same way, if he does not know who is at his side, he will have no friends. Without friends, he will be unable to draw up a plan. Without a plan, he cannot direct anyone’s actions. Without direction, the country will plunge into darkness, and even dancers will not know which foot to put down next. So an apparently banal action - learning the name of the person at your side - can make an enormous difference. The besetting sin of our time is that everyone wants to put things right immediately, and they forget that in order to do so you need a lot of people.’

Disappointment




When we admire someone, we see that person as someone who is perfect. We tend never to see their faults or their imperfections. I am like that, to me the person I admire is perfect. Or at least it was. Now I don't see that perfection. To tell you the truth, all I see right now are imperfections. I know that people have their own life and we have to respect that. At first, I didn't understand but now I do. I never do more than I should. The problem is when people give us false hopes, when they play with our feelings. I feel sad because of that. I am a person who tries to be there for my friends. I don't expect that someone plays with my feelings. Specially someone who I admire so much. I have no idea why the person does that but if it is some kind of punishment, then let me tell you that I have been punished enough. Believe me.

I'm sad and disappointed. Hope this feeling goes on real fast.
