One time Confucius (孔子) was with his students. A student named Zi Lu (子路) asked if it was a good idea to immediately put a teaching into practice. Confucius urged him to wait and be patient.
Later Zan You (冉有), another student, went to Confucius with the same question. Confucius said, “You should practice it immediately.”
An observant third student noticed the contradiction. He asked Confucius to clarify. Confucius replied, “Zi Lu is impulsive, so I slowed him down. Zan You is cautious and tends to give up, so I pushed him.”
Every one is unique. Every situation is different. There’s no one-size-fits-all.
