#知行合一
The disconnection between knowledge and action is actually a manifestation of insufficient understanding. If one's understanding is sufficiently in place, one would recognize the importance of action and how to motivate oneself to take action.
Many people think their understanding is high, and they attribute their empty pockets to a lack of resources, connections, or funding. In reality, those 'understandings' that are confined to the mind or paper are, to put it bluntly, just a collection of information piled together.
True high understanding is the ability to apply theoretical knowledge and academic achievements specifically in practice.
True high understanding involves quickly trial-and-erroring and continuously iterating after collecting information, sustaining one's efforts through experience.
After all, discussing theories and grandstanding may seem impressive, but only the unity of knowledge and action, and the application of what one has learned, is truly impressive.
