in!' 'Like this cup,' the master said, 'you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you wisdom unless you first empty your cup?'
Reflection: You learn harmoniously and effectively only when you open your mind. Learn to accept differences and admit that you need to learn from others.

What we have learn from this story is: open your mind first and learn to accept all kind of criticizes or advices from the other no matter how intelligent you are.In this story it compare our mind to a cup of tea which is full of tea,so no matter how we pour more tea into it. the cup of tea can not keep the tea in but overflow outside...it means that if you think that you're intelligent and full or idea and your optimist with your ignorant mind and wouldn't accept others advices, your wisdom would not increase any further unless you accept that you are still stupid and have more knowledge to learn...
Yes, sure. We can learn as long as we don't think we're full. We need more to fill in. Then we can learn and grow. Allow our mind to get more is the opening door to development and betterment.
