Three Zen students were talking, and one Zen student said, "My teacher is the best. He can go days without eating."
The second Zen student said, "My teacher has so much self-control, he can go days without sleep."
The third Zen student said, "My teacher is so wise that he eats when he's hungry and sleeps when he's tired."
