夫子見人之一善，而忘其百非，是夫子之易事也。
When the master saw a person’s good points, he forgot all that person’s shortcomings.
Thus, it was easy for the master to learn from others.
夫子見人有善，若己有之，是夫子之不爭也。
When the master saw that another person possessed a good point, it was as if he himself possessed that good point.
聞善必躬親行之，然後道之，是夫子之能勞也。
Thus, he was not competitive in his relations with others.
On hearing of a virtuous trait, the master always put it into practice himself and only afterward made it a basis for instructing others.
夫子之能勞也，夫子之不爭也，夫子之易事也，吾學夫子之三言而未能行。」
Thus, the master was able to endure toil.
His ability to endure toil, his lack of competitiveness, and the ease with which he learned from others—these things I have heard of in the master’s three sayings, but I have not been able to put them into practice.” Kongzi Assesses Yan Hui’s Strengths
