Chinese Wisdom of the Week

To be fond of knowledge is better than merely to acquire it; to take delight in it is still better than merely to be fond of it. By Confucius.

 

This proverb reminds us that we should not only pursue knowledge but also should find great happiness from acquiring education and wisdom. We hope that life brings you many opportunities to acquire knowledge and that you gain great joy from the wisdom that you receive.
