About This Quote

Confucius said, “So, I must be taken as I have been made. The success is not mine, the failure is not mine, but the two together make me.” Confucius was acknowledging that he could not control how others saw him or interpreted him. He could only control how he behaved and how he behaved was dependent on who was in front of him. His relationship with his students wasn't about establishing superiority; Confucius wanted to see his students grow into their own greatness by learning from themselves through their mistakes.
