The Aims of Educatio

A person who only knows a lot is just the most useless and annoying person in the world. The significance of education is definitely not to teach people only to master knowledge, but to teach people the art of how to apply knowledge, which is a difficult art to impart.As Mencius said, "My life also has limits, and knowledge has no limits. With limits, it is almost impossible.To apply what has been learned and to apply it through practical experience, one should not let knowledge become a flower fist and embroidered leg.Knowing that one cannot do it is equivalent to not knowing. Knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the end of knowledge. Learning without thinking is waste, thinking without learning is perilous. The essence of education lies in its devout religious nature: it teaches the educated to have a sense of responsibility and reverence, and responsibility comes from our potential control over the development of things. When the knowledge learned can change the outcome of a thing, ignorance becomes a sin.
