Transcript

The master appeared unaffected by others' opinions about him.

When the disciples inquired about how he achieved such inner freedom,

He chuckled and responded,

Until I reached twenty,

I paid no mind to people's thoughts about me.

After twenty,

I fretted endlessly about my neighbor's perceptions.

Then,

One day after turning fifty,

I suddenly realized that they scarcely pondered me at all.
