困而不知者 / What to despair of

It is not difficulties in themselves, however severe, that really frustrate us.

 

It is our dumbness that keeps us from learning from these difficulties.

 

Dumbness leads to the repetition.

 

Even if repeating difficulties destroy what achievements we make, however,

we need not despair as long as we obtain a small piece of basic learning.

 

Because in it we will find a new starting point.
