行之，明也。也洞察（语言）区别或奥妙

 

荀子曰:不闻不若闻之,闻之不若见之,见之不若知之,知之不若行之。学至于行而止矣。行之,明也。

Someone translated it in English as "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand".

A rough translation: "Not hearing is not as good as hearing, hearing is not as good as seeing, seeing is not as good as knowing, knowing is not as good as acting; true learning continues until it is put into action."

There is a similar English quotation, "what you hear, you forget; what you see, you remember; what you do, you understand."

The two quotes are very similar; they both argue for the value of learning by doing, but you can see the slight differences in the process: the English quote talks about memory (forget/remember), whereas no such thing exists in the Xunzi quote.

喷泉之所以美丽，是因为它承受了压力。瀑布之所以壮观，是因为它无路可退。泉水能滴穿石头，是因为它坚持不懈。请记住所有的逆袭，都是有备而来。所有的幸运，都是努力的结果。你现在拼命努力的样子，或许显得有些狼狈。但你靠自己的样子，真的很美！
