Yes, knowing is: knowing is knowing, not knowing the inner Tao is not knowing, and this ability is being smart. This sentence comes from the Analects of Confucius and records the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples.

2, sensitive and eager to learn, not ashamed to ask questions.

It means that you are not ashamed to ask people with lower status and knowledge than yourself, and you are modest and eager to learn.

3, learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous.

It refers to reading blindly without thinking, because you can't deeply understand the meaning of books, can't use book knowledge reasonably and effectively, and even get confused. And if it's just a dream, if you don't really study and study, you will only build a tower on the sand and get nothing.

Extended data:

We can regard this sentence as a reading method advocated by Confucius. If you read blindly without thinking, you will be led by books and lose your mind. The so-called book is better than no book, that's what I mean. And if you dream blindly but don't study and study hard, you will only build a tower on the sand and get nothing.

Learning and thinking complement each other and are indispensable. Only by combining learning with thinking can we learn practical and useful knowledge. Confucius also said in The Analects of Confucius Wei Linggong: "I don't eat all day and don't sleep all night. It's useless to think, it's better to learn. " Xia Zi said, "I am knowledgeable and determined, and I am eager to ask questions and think about them. Benevolence is among them. "

All these emphasize the importance of combining learning with thinking. Kant, a western philosopher, also said that "perceptual ignorance is blind, and intellectuality is empty without sensibility." This is strikingly consistent with Confucius' "learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous". It can be seen that no matter how different regions and races are, the fundamental principles of human learning and acquiring knowledge are often the same.
