    聞道有先後-Sometimes they may only learn the things earlier than somebody else. It doesn't matter of how old are they.
    術業有專攻-People major or good at different fields.It desn't true that you are stupided than others but just master to another domain.

    one might have learned the doctrine earlier than the other, or might be a master in his own special field.

    The time ereryone learn philosophy are different,the area ereryone learn profession are distinct.
