冬日

While talking about the sun, another little story from the ancient China comes to my mind:

*****************************

酆舒問於賈季曰:趙衰、趙盾孰賢?對曰:趙衰冬日之日也,趙盾夏日之日也。
《左傳·文公七年》

(晉‧杜預注:冬日可愛,夏日可畏。)

*****************************

You may wonder why I brought this up - it is plain simple that the winter sun is lovely while the summer one is poisonous.

But, may I remind you, that's the same sun, just that the environment is different.

More importantly, winter is winter exactly because the sun is not working to its full capability.

Same for our professors ?
