Being talented is not enough There is a story in the book History as a Mirror by Chinese historian Sima Guang.
Zhi Xuanzi was the head of Zhi，a big family of Jin during the late Spring and Autumn Period （770-476 BC）.He wanted a man named Zhi Yao to be the head of the family.
However，another man in the family，named Zhi Guo，was against the idea.Zhi Guo said Zhi Yao was good at many things.For example，he was good at riding and shooting.He was decisive and talkative.But Zhi Guo pointed out that he had a big moral weakness（道德上的缺點）-he was unkind.
Still，Zhi Xuanzi didn't agree.Zhi Yao became the head of the family.He quickly made the Zhi family the strongest in Jin.However，because of his aggressive style（咄咄逼人的風(fēng)格），three other families worked together to fight against the Zhi family.Finally，the Zhi family was beaten.
Sima Guang used this story to talk about how important virtue（德行）is.Talent is not enough.Excellent people must have both talent and virtue.
If a person has virtue but no talent，he or she might work inefficiently（低效）.If a person has talent but no virtue，he or she might go in the wrong direction.Having both talent and virtue has been a common pursuit for people in China.Those who have both were called xiancai（賢才）in ancient times.If you ask which one is more important between the two，it must be virtue.Only if a person has virtue can he or she get on the right track（走對路）.
