Ask for advice humbly and without shame. A geography teacher was stumped by a student’s question. He honestly admitted that he “didn’t know” and did not let it go. Instead, he searched for information, asked colleagues for advice, and went on a business trip. I asked my traveling companions again and finally got the answer. This incident tells us a truth: Asking for advice humbly and not being ashamed to ask is the most effective way to obtain true knowledge. (The central argument comes from the fact that a teacher was stumped by a student’s question: Asking for advice with an open mind and not being ashamed to ask is the most effective way to obtain true knowledge) Many famous scholars and scientists rely on asking for advice with an open mind and asking without shame to seek and accumulate knowledge. (Summary sentence, leading to the following) During the decades when Li Shizhen wrote "Compendium of Materia Medica", he read more than 800 classics. When studying ancient books, I found that the opinions of various schools were inconsistent and contradictory, so I went deep into the reality in many ways and "picked the medicine" myself. At the same time, I consulted many doctors, pharmacists, woodcutters, fishermen, etc. with practical experience, and finally identified and researched it. It has collected more than a thousand kinds of medicines recorded in the past dynasties and made new scientific conclusions for them. The Russian scholar and poet Lomonosov walked 2,000 kilometers to Moscow to study, but was turned away from the school because he was not a child of aristocrats. Later, he pretended to be the son of a nobleman from an outer city and sneaked into the Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy to study. Because he didn't understand Latin, the teacher asked him to sit in the last row. Most of the children in the class were thirteen or fourteen years old, and they laughed at him: "A fool in his twenties comes to learn Latin!" But Lomonosov pretended not to know the teacher's indifference and the classmates' ridicule, and just concentrated on Listen to lectures, ask for advice humbly, and learn Latin sentences. Later, he was sent to Germany to study with his outstanding talents and excellent Latin level. Finally, a young fishing boy became a famous scientist. The achievements of these successful people are inseparable from their humility in asking for advice and not being ashamed to ask others. (Using the stories of Li Shizhen and Lomonosov humbly asking for advice, it proves from both Chinese and foreign aspects that their success is inseparable from humbly asking for advice and not being ashamed to ask for advice. This is used to demonstrate the argument) Ancient Chinese scholar Liu Kai once said: "(Quoted A gentleman’s learning must be inquiring. Asking and learning complement each other. Without learning, there is no doubt; without asking, there is no broad knowledge. “Learning and inquiry complement each other. A person's wisdom is limited and his knowledge is boundless, and he will always encounter many difficult problems during his study. We advocate asking for advice humbly and not being ashamed to ask, that is, when encountering problems, seek truth from facts, don’t pretend to understand if you don’t understand, ask more people for advice if you don’t understand, and have a bit of the spirit of asking for answers, so as to gain knowledge. There is a young worker in Shanghai who only went to elementary school and passed the liberal arts college entrance examination through self-study. When a reporter asked him the secret of his success, he said: "Whenever you encounter difficult problems, you can always ask others for help. You can find my teachers on the road, in the park, or in bookstores. There are thousands of such teachers." There are no shortcuts to learning. This young man’s road to success tells us that asking for advice humbly and not being ashamed to ask is the most effective way to gain knowledge. (Emphasis on the central point again) It takes a little courage to ask others for advice. Many of our classmates never ask for advice humbly when they encounter problems. They feel embarrassed and are afraid that others will say they are ignorant. So, from the many examples mentioned above, and from the geography teacher, we should understand: people can ask for advice humbly and not be ashamed to ask, but when we have questions, can't we ask our classmates or teachers for advice? Confucius said: "When three people are walking together, they must have me as their teacher."

"Let us adopt the attitude of "everyone is my teacher" and gain true knowledge by asking for advice with an open mind!

Remember to adopt it
