Quote by Confucius

I hear, I know. I see, I remember. I do, I understand.

I hear, I know. I see, I remember. I do, I understand.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of active participation and experiential learning. Simply hearing something may result in a superficial level of knowledge. However, when we see something, our memory gets engaged. It goes one step further when we actively engage in doing something ourselves, as this leads to a better understanding. The quote encourages us to move beyond passive intake of information and encourages us to get involved and take action in order to truly comprehend and internalize what we have learned.
