中人之资

I am deeply afraid that I am originally not a find jade that can be cultivated to be a talent. Therefore I dare not temper and steel myself assiduously.

我深怕自己本非美玉，故而不敢加以刻苦琢磨，

But I also half believe and half doubt that I may be a find jade. So I don’t want to be a mediocre person, and nor do I want to associate with a motley crowd which are like disorderly and useless debris.

却又半信自己是块美玉，故又不肯庸庸碌碌，与瓦砾为伍。

比上不足比下有余，清醒的认识到自己并不天赋异禀，认识到自己也不愚钝不堪，只是中人之资质，但这天赋的天花板却也没达到。

庸庸碌碌的人啊，不甘平凡却又没有过人的天赋和毅力，不过是人海中的平凡人。
