Born Dutch Chinese by origin, I enjoy inspirational proverbs in any language. One of my favorites contains Chinese ancient timeless wisdom in learning.
博学之，审问之，慎思之，明辨之，笃行之。 《礼记·中庸》
bó xué zhī，shěn wèn zhī，shèn sī zhī，míng biàn zhī，dǔ xíng zhī。 《lǐ jì · zhōng yōng》
To learn [from a variety of places], To ask [until you satisfy your desire to learn], To reflect [meticulously], To distinguish [clearly between truth and lies], To manifest [that which you have learnt].
These five stages represent the various places in learning, not unlike that of Bloom’s taxonomy, who advocated an hierarchy of learning in this order: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis.
