the unity of knowing and doing

The name of Mr. Tao Xingzhi, a modern educator, was originally called Xingzhi, and later changed to Zhixing. Different names, different emphases. In short, the most important thing is that the two must be combined into one. Didn't I think this was a very simple truth before? It's also very simple to do, so difficult!

Adults, especially middle school students, will do their best only under the strict management of the external environment. Therefore, the unity of knowledge and practice is the highest realm that everyone pursues, not the initial understanding.

May I understand, try my best to do it, and pursue the realm of unity of knowledge and action.
