勤能补拙
子曰：“学而时习之，不亦悦乎？有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？人不知而不愠，不亦君子乎？”
译文：“学习过的知识常常温习，不是很愉快吗？有志同道合的朋友从远方来，不是很快乐的吗？别人不了解我，我也不抱怨，不也是一个有的德的君子吗？”
志同道合：志向相同，意见相合
温习：复习
抱怨：a grudge
At a small age, 陈正之 had very slow reflexes and was bullied by other kids a lot. They called him a dummy, and to a certain extent, that was true, because in class he couldn't learn a lot at the same time, he couldn't remember articles, and he failed at writing. Eventually, even his teachers started telling him to get out. So he started learning, writing, and doing other things. He read books so fast that it was like he was eating them. But he wasn't happy with his results, because he couldn't remember anything. So a famous scholar told him to only read one book a day and read it a few times. This way, he was a lot more successful, and eventually became a famous scholar too. This is an example of the sentence up there because he found that he liked to review things he already knew, and learn new things. Even though others didn't understand him, and even bullied him, he did not hold a grudge and instead tried to improve himself.
