(Tantai Mieming) was one of the 72 best
students of Confucius. There is a story about him recorded in the history
books.
He was 39 years younger than Confucius.
He looked very ugly, so Confucius didn't
take him seriously.
Although Confucius did not value him, he
still maintained respect for Confucius.
He studies independently and seriously.
After he graduated, he went to the Chu
Kingdom alone to promote Confucius' thoughts.
He opened a Confucian school with more than
300 students. In the school, he taught people how to apply Confucius' thoughts
in practical life.
He established an effective teaching and
management system, and because his school was so well run, his reputation
spread to other kingdoms.
Confucius once said to his other students
in his later years.
I reflected on some of the mistakes I made
when I was young. One of them was that I once looked ugly because of (Tantai
Mieming), so I thought he didn't have much talent.
I rely on a person's appearance to judge that they have no talent., but the facts prove that I am wrong,
This story is also an idiom. The literal
translation of this idiom is that I rely on a person's appearance to judge that
they have no talent.

(澹臺滅明)是孔子最優秀的72位學生之一，歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
他的年紀比孔子小39歲。
他的長相很醜，所以孔子並不重視他。
孔子雖然不重視他，但是他仍保持著對孔子的尊敬。
他自主且認真的學習。
他在畢業之後，他一個人到了當時的楚王國去宣傳孔子的思想。
他開設了一個儒家學校，他的學生超過300個人，他在學校中、教導人們如何把孔子的思想，實際運用在生活當中。
他建立了一套有效的教學與管理制度，因為他的這間學校辦得很好，所以他的名聲傳開到其他王國。
孔子在晚年的時候曾經對他的其他學生說。
我反省我自己年輕時候犯過的一些錯，其中有一件就是我曾經因為(澹臺滅明)脹得很醜，所以我認為他沒有太大的才能。
我憑藉一個人的外貌來認定他有沒有才能，但事實證明我是錯的，
這個故事也是一句成語。這個成語直接翻譯的意思我憑藉一個人的外貌來認定他有沒有才能。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你會單憑一個人的外貌去評價一個人嗎?你若犯了錯你願意真誠地面對自已的錯誤嗎?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
