Analect 15:31
The Master said “ I have spent a whole day without eating
and a whole night without sleeping in order to think-but I got nothing out of
it. Thinking cannot compare studying.
As I can understand from this analect,
thinking and studying is not comparable. You can think of many things but it
will remain as idea when you will not do an action. For example, as a student,
all of us can think of a certain topic of a certain subject, you can think of
it as long as you want but without doing a action, you cannot create or
generate an output from it and it will remain as it is. Another example is when
you are given an assigned question by the teacher, you can think of the
question all night but as long as you do not study or do some actions for you
to solve it, it will remain as an unsolved question. Studying is really not
comparable with thinking because studying is doing an action for answering or solving
a question. For example, as a student, when you are given a topic or assigned
work, you will automatically study or research about the given topic or
assigned work by the teacher. Studying has a result. Like when you are took an
exam, when you studied well, you know that you can get a high score that
correspond a high grade. Studying can give a good result than thinking alone.
