子zǐ绝jué四sì，毋wú意yì，毋wú必bì，毋wú固gù，毋wú我wǒ。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子杜绝了四种毛病：不凭空猜测，不绝对武断，不固执己见，不自以为是。

James Legge Translation

There were four things from which the Master was entirely free. He had no foregone conclusions, no arbitrary predeterminations, no obstinacy, and no egoism.

This is a token-free local reflection box. It calls no model, uploads no question, and only uses this passage, its guide, and fixed rules.
