“博学而笃志，切问而近思”语出《论语·子张》，子夏曰：“博学而笃志，切问而近思，仁在其中矣。” 一个人心有远大理想就要有丰富的知识，要多多提出疑问，多多深入思考。对于自己的志向不能有过多的功利干扰，要淡薄名利，只有平静的看待这些才能更好的实现自己的理想。此语现为复旦大学校训。

    Learn widely (or extensively), inquire earnestly, and deal with things thoughtfully; rich in knowledge & tenacious of purpose. Inquiring with earnestness & reflecting with self-practice.
