Knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing. This is wisdom. Smart and studious people are not ashamed to ask for advice from people who are lower in status and less knowledgeable than themselves. Remember what you have learned silently, and you will not be satisfied with your study, nor will you feel tired.

I am not a person born with knowledge, but a person who loves ancient culture and is diligent in learning. I always feel that I can't catch up with my study time, and I am always afraid of losing what I have learned. I used to eat all day, stay up all night and think hard. It's not good. It is better to study.

Translation 2.

I once said that there are three ways to read: heart, eyes and mouth. If the heart is not in the book, then the eyes will not read the book carefully. Since the heart and eyes are not single-minded, they will never remember, and even if they do, they will not last long. Of the three ways, the heart is the most important. Since the mind is concentrated, won't the eyes and mouth be concentrated?
