Unity of Knowledge and Action Is Not What It Seems: It Is the Unity of Action and Knowledge

The path is forged by walking it. Before you start, no one knows the way.

More often than not, it’s not about what you do, but who you are. There are people who can make anything work—Columbus sailed the wrong route and still discovered the New World, because he had that certain drive.

Some people can turn nothing into something; others can turn something into nothing. In a world built on people, it all comes down to the individuals, not rigid principles. If the person is wrong, even the most correct logic won’t help them succeed. But if the person is right, even Ouyang Feng practicing the Nine Yin Manual backward can still become the greatest under heaven.
