Fools learn nothing from wise men, but wise men learn much from fools.

愚者向智者学之甚少，而智者向愚者学之甚多。

For you

Are you modest enough to consult your inferiors? A man becomes learned only by asking questions. Wise men learn a lot from fools, but fools learn nothing from wise men. That is the reason why wise men are wise while fools are foolish. 你能做到不耻下问吗？不耻下问才能长学问。智者向愚者学之甚多，而愚者向智者学之甚少，这就是智者之所以为智者而愚者之所以为愚者的原因。
