Yesterday how begun?

How perfected today?

You must think of reaching perfection,[1]

You must think of controlling life.

By daily concern with each day,

You will become as stout as a metal wall.[2]

The Ode says,[3]

My days are advancing;
Your months are going on.
Rising early and going to sleep late,
Do not disgrace those who gave you birth.

[OMITTED]: cf. Analects 141 (1/9): [OMITTED] "Then the virtue of the people
will resume its proper excellence."
