(二十四)

There are times when you find yourself unable to work out a problem. It is at this point that the way in which you use your teacher is important. With a good teacher, such times should be less frequent than with a bad one, so the worse the teacher the more responsibility you have for your success! Whatever your luck in this respect, one thing is most significant¹ and stays the same, whatever the quality of teaching² you receive: if there is something you don't understand, you must ask, again and again if necessary, until you do understand it fully³. Obvious though this may seem, it is almost unbelievable how many people would rather sit in silent ignorance⁴ than admit not understanding. To behave in such a way is the only truly stupid thing a student can do: it's a false form of pride, which is the most useless, damaging quality anyone can have, to say nothing of a student! Therefore, regard your teacher as a guide or even a friend and do not sit quietly wondering what he's going on about.
