有理走遍天下 – “Traveled the world to rational, irrational move an inch”
「理」 means that interesting, rigorous, and continuous. I will give you an example of three great predecessors as a conclusion: At the end of the 12th century, the Chinese master of Confucianism, Master Zhu Xi (朱熹) also mentioned "The Preface of Learning is Learning, Questioning, Thinking, and Discrimination, so does 「窮理致知」- Veritas et Conscientia is. About 500 years later, the West Copernicus published "The Theory of Celestial Movement" with dialectical thinking and discourse to subvert people's thinking at that time. I would like to remind you about the words of Greek philosopher Aristotle: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
