"Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask questions" comes from The Analects of Confucius Gongye Chang, which means that intelligent and studious people are not ashamed to ask for advice from people with lower status and less knowledge than themselves. Confucius believes that the key to learning is to correct the attitude of learning, study hard and enjoy learning.

"Don't be ashamed to ask questions" also emphasizes the need to have a correct learning attitude and not be ashamed to ask questions. "The feet are short and the inches are long."
