SONG OF DISCOVERING THE TAOIST DISCIPLE 

Discuss strategies with him to observe his intelligence and judgment;

Debate with him to know his temperament and tolerance;

Efforts in study and learning show his initiative;

Practicing what has been learned shows diligence and dedication;

Humility shows his maturity and wisdom;

Assign him work and discover his competence;

Cooperation and willingness show sincerity;

See him handle money to know his virtue;

Tell him of difficulties and hardship ahead, then know his courage;

Working with others, he reveals his selflessness and leadership;

In misfortune and danger, learn of his true loyalty and friendship.

His achievements reveal his real self discipline.
