The meaning of this sentence is that it is only the first step for a teacher to give knowledge and skills to his disciples. If an apprentice wants to learn well, he still needs to work harder and practice more, so that he can learn well and learn solidly.

What the master teaches is only the foundation or method, which plays a guiding role, or is to attract jade. How much you can really learn and how much you practice depends on students' understanding ability and hard work.

The importance of personal efforts:

A person's environment often has a great influence on him. As the saying goes, people near Zhu Zhechi and Mexico are all black. They often come into contact with cultured and thoughtful people, and consciously or unconsciously improve their ideological depth through imitation and subtle influence. So is the relationship between students and teachers. Students are often assimilated by teachers' ideas or learn from teachers' methods of dealing with problems.

Over time, the students who follow the master will raise their thinking to a higher level, that is, the master will lead them into the door, and often the master will produce some excellent disciples. If you hang out with people with low quality all day, it is difficult to improve unless you have extreme talent.

Learning from a master may not be successful, but it is also related to personal qualifications, diligence and way of thinking. If a person spends all his time surfing the Internet and playing games, it is hard to say that he will achieve anything big, and at most he will be clever.

Personal qualification seems to be something that is not recognized by the education sector. Teachers often say that students' qualifications are similar, but the difference lies in their learning methods and diligence, which exaggerates the acquired factors. The problem of innate qualifications does exist and should be faced squarely. Therefore, practice still depends on individuals.
