"获得智慧有三种方法。第一种是反思,这是最高的。第二种是模仿,这是最简单的。第三种是经验,这是最苦涩的。"

Simplified Meaning:

Gaining wisdom can be done in three ways. The best way is to think deeply about things, like when someone takes time to understand their feelings and actions or learn from books and teachings. Another way, which isn't too hard, is to copy or follow the examples of wise people. For instance, a student might follow their teacher's advice without fully understanding it but still benefits from it. The last way, which is often the hardest, is learning from personal experience, especially mistakes and failures. Imagine a person who touches a hot stove and gets burned; they learn a valuable lesson, but it comes with pain. To apply these methods, one should take time to think about their actions, look up to role models, and be ready to learn and grow even from tough experiences.
