Sun Mo’s Students, Famous Throughout The World
There was this saying, 'Those who fail to inspire jealousy in others are mediocre individuals.'
Sun Mo's fame in the great teacher world could be considered half good and half bad. Among the younger generations, the vast majority of people worshiped him and took him as their role model, wanting to surpass him.
But in the eyes of aged seniors, Sun Mo was like a great villain, a person who only wanted to be in the limelight, spoiling the market norm and making it tough for their disciples to stand out.
(Do you understand what staying aloof from the world means?)
(Do you know what it means to constantly show respect to your elders?)
Bluntly speaking, those seniors loathed Sun Mo because he was superior to them. Hence, they envied him.
It was like an old staff who had worked for 20 years and earned $3,000 per month. His life was ordinary, but all of a sudden, the company suddenly hired a new staff member.
