About This Quote

This is a quote from the Chinese philosopher Wang Fuzhi. He was a great scholar and teacher who lived during the Ming Dynasty. His idea is that if one is truly interested in learning, one should focus on a single topic and learn as much as one can about it, not focusing on how many topics they’ve learned about. In other words, focus on one thing at a time, study that thing thoroughly, and then move on to the next thing.
