Confucius would teach only those who wanted to learn. How does this rule apply to your experience as a student?

Because in order for a student to want to learn they got to ask questions, pay attention and want to learn what they are being taught to grow farther in life

This tells us that our teachers can only truly teach us valuable knowledge and lessons if we ourselves are ready and prepared to be taught about specific subjects. For this reason, without our internal desire to learn, there is also no motivation nor desire for the teacher to teach us either.
