During the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong (唐太宗) asked the prime minister (大臣) Feng Deyi to recommend talented people. (1) , Feng didn't recommend anyone after several months.
"I tried my best, but there are no (2) (usual) or well - rounded (全能的) people at all," Feng said. "People are like tools," said the emperor. "What we need to do is (3) (make) good use of their talents. You should blame (责备) (4) (you) for not noticing people's talents. How could you say that there were no talented people in our dynasty?"

(5) a tool, each person has a special strength (优势). Nobody is perfect. It's not possible for a person (6) (be) good at everything.
With this idea in mind, Emperor Taizong found many talented people of different backgrounds. He (7) (offer) them important positions (职位). These positions helped them make the most of their talents. His talented people helped society develop.
A good example is Ma Zhou, who grew up in a poor family. Ma gave a lot of (8) (use) advice, so Emperor Taizong gave him a position and praised him many times.
If a person is talented in one field, we should give him a chance. (9) same idea can be found in The Analects of Confucius (《论语》). Our president once told this story to officers, asking them to treat talented people (10) (correct).
