A student

A student should never feed their inner wolf of negative thoughts, even if it howls from hunger. If this wolf grows strong and breaks into our inner self, it may devour our precious sheep. A shepherd must only feed the sheep.

The crucial duty of a shepherd is to protect the sheep from wolves. Giving food to the wolf, even unknowingly, means the shepherd loses their qualification. We all have a wolf inside us, and we must not nourish it. This is the true path of self-discipline.
