Confucius once travelled from state to state putting forward his proposals to the kings on administration. But no ruler accepted his offers and he was even driven away or attacked sometimes. Finally, his ideal to seek an important position in the court failed. Zhuge Liang, another famous man in history, adopted a contrary way to realize his political ambition. He lived in seclusion as if to avoid any calls for promotion from any contemporary rulers until he met Liu, a warlord he'd like to serve for, after the visitor came two times in vain. So an able person needn’t seek employment hurriedly. He may wait patiently at home as Zhuge or start his own business as Confucius. Sooner or later he'll be invited like Zhuge or distinguish himself like Confucius as a well-known educator.
