"The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others"

1. Silence: Making the effort to be still and peaceful, allowing yourself to be open up to originalities and perspectives.

2. Listening: Paying attention to what is being stated and actively participating in the conversation.

3. Memory: Remembering what has actually been stated and retaining the information.

4. Practice: Applying the knowledge and wisdom got from listening and remembering.

5. Teaching Others: Sharing the understanding and wisdom with others, helping them to grow and find out.
