Hi this is Tutor Nick P and  this is Quotes 267.  Today we have two quotes by

Confucius. And we have done a few other quotes by him in the past. So again if

you like this video,  go back and check the others. Okay. Let's look at the first

quote. " The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute. The man who does not

ask is a fool for life. " Okay.  Let's take a look at this. What Confucius

is letting you know here is there's no such thing as a foolish question. It is

better to ask and search out the answer than to remain ignorant.

He's also letting you know,  don't let the fear of risking some embarrassment stop

you from searching out and getting knowledge. Okay. Yeah.  I know even as a

teacher sometimes,  I know that sometimes students don't want to ask a question

because they're afraid if they ask a question,  the question may sound like a

stupid question. Sometimes they,  it may hold them back from asking. You should

ask it. You should always ask it. Get it out there and get it straight once and

for all.  Well,  let's continue here. Okay. So even if

you suffer a moment of embarrassment that is much better than remaining

ignorant. Your fears may be unfounded anyway. Maybe even though you think it's

a stupid question,  maybe other people may not really think it's a stupid question

or maybe they're thinking , oh good I'm glad you asked that I was thinking the

same thing.So you never know. Only through knowledge can you advance. Okay.

All right. And here's the second quote.  Learn avidly.  Remember,  if you're avid

learner an avid reader, it means you have a lot of enthusiasm about it. You should

be excited about learning, " Learn avidly.  Question it repeatedly. " So always

question again like many of the other famous people or great people or

intelligent people a lot of them actually stress this point.  "Analyze it

carefully. Then put what you have learned into practice. "Yeah. Well if you learn

something from these quotes,  try to try to practice or try to practice what you

preach or try to you know put it into practice,  if you figure it out. It's

telling you ...  All right. So here we go.  Even things you think you already know

and are definite should be questioned from time to time. So even if you think well

I know that already.  I don't have to look at that. No.  Look again because you never

know just in case one was misled,  especially if there seems to be

questions that don't make sense.  Sometimes there are things in life that

we just kind of say okay well that's what they told us. That's it. But I don't

know does it really make sense ? You should question those. After discovering

truths and knowledge. Use it. Put it into practice or at least spread it to others

if you can. Okay. Good.  Anyway,  I hope you got it.  I hope it was food for

thought. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
