My students will forget most of the concepts I teach them. But they will remember how I taught them to think about the concepts.
Knowledge is putting stuff in. Wisdom is taking stuff out. Know the difference.
I asked a wise man: when will I get the answers to my questions? His response: the moment you stop focusing on the questions.
A gardener grafts new shoots on old roots to make great fruit. Stay rooted in timeless wisdom but keep growing with timely knowledge.
Seek out different people. Watch weird TV shows. Read strange books. Visit unsung places. Sameness is stasis.
If your bowl is empty, it will always keep filling. If your bowl is full, it will always overflow.
I was struggling to understand a concept. So I taught it to my students. To teach something is to truly know it yourself.
If you believe you have nothing more to learn, you won’t.
Don’t focus so much on winning that you forget to enjoy the game.
Success teaches me very little. If my boat never rocked, I would think the ocean was only a surface.
I searched the world for answers to my questions. Little did I know that the answers were always within me. I am like the musk deer, who spends its life searching the forest for the scent that lives deep within its own body.
