92 "In any academic area or professional field, it is just as important to
recognize the limits of our knowledge and understanding as it is to acquire
new facts and information."

I agree to the assertion that when we engage in any research or work, we should not only recognize the limits of our knowledge and understanding, but also acquire new facts and information. Both are two facets of a thing and equally important. Without any of them it is possible to lead to fail.   


Admittedly, recognizing the limits of our knowledge and understanding makes us doing things in a practical way. Being constrained by time and space, we are not likely to grasp all the knowledge and understand all the things. On the one hand, limited by time, today we cannot understand a thing from the angle of future. Today's the greatest achievement not necessarily the greatest one in the future. We do not know what will happen in the future and thus cannot understand something that we can easily understand in the future. For example, before abolishing the system of slavery, people, even including the salvers themselves, think it is a matter of course that slaves are born without freedom. The people at that time not possibly understand the concept of democracy due of the limitation of time. But with process of time people can understand and realize that people are born equal. On the other hand, limited by space, we cannot know all things in the distance place. It may be argued that we can know them through books and other media. But it is impossible that all that we want to know are recorded through all kinds of ways and there must exist something we cannot know. The two points above can make us understand that we should set goals in a practical way rather than regardless of the limitations derived from ourselves.

However, recognizing the limits of our knowledge and understanding does not indicate that we should stop the step of acquiring new facts and information. Sometimes, the limitation of recognizing becomes a pretext of someone who is lazy and has no attempt to make progresses. Actually, within the limitation we still can and must acquire many new facts. We cannot deny the subjective ability because of the limitation. In some sense new facts and information can expand the extent of our knowledge and understanding, which would help to solve problems. So we should exert potential as much as possible to acquiring new facts and information, and thereby expand the extent of our cognizing, which would contribute to the development of technology and the advancement of society.   

Finally, without any of them it is possible to lead to different problems. Because of not knowing the limits of our knowledge and understanding we are likely to spend much time, energy and money in the problems that we cannot solve and thus lead to tremendous waste. In addition, neglecting the other way of a thing   also brings to other problems. The people's craving for the new facts and information is the motivation of the incessant advancement of humanity. Without it, we would lack the ability of creativity and lose the motivation of making progress.   

In sum, by recognizing the limits of our knowledge and understanding we identify our goals, at the same times, by acquiring new facts and information   incessantly we make technology developed, make society advanced and make our life beauty. Neglecting the former we would lose the direction of advance.  Less valuing the latter we would forever stop where it is.

I agree to（可以用to嘛，，，不是很清楚：P） the assertion that when we engage in any research or work, we should not only recognize the limits of our knowledge and understanding, but also acquire new facts and information. Both are two facets of a thing and equally important. Without any of them it is possible to lead to fail（这句话你想表达的意思我能明白，但是方式，，，不好）.


Admittedly, recognizing the limits of our knowledge and understanding makes us doing things in a practical way. Being constrained by time and space, we are not likely to grasp all the knowledge and understand all the things. On the one hand, limited by time, today we cannot understand a thing from the angle of future. Today's the greatest achievement not necessarily the greatest one in the future. We do not know what will happen in the future and thus cannot understand something that we can easily understand in the future.（这句话有些重复跟前面的意思） For example, before abolishing the system of slavery, people, even including the salvers themselves, think it is a matter of course that slaves are born without freedom（不是吧，黑人的反抗一直都有，特别是当他们从非洲被抓到美洲啊欧洲的时候）. The people at that time not possibly understand the concept of democracy due of the limitation of time. But with process of time people can understand and realize that people are born equal. On the other hand, limited by space, we cannot know all things in the distance place. It may be argued that we can know them through books and other media.

Finally, without any of them it is possible to lead to different problems. Because of not knowing（unaware of） the limits of our knowledge and understanding we are likely to spend much time, energy and money in the problems that we cannot solve and thus lead to tremendous waste. In addition, neglecting the other way of a thing also brings to other problems. The people's craving for the new facts and information is the motivation of the incessant advancement of humanity.

谢谢。。。
We cannot deny the subjective ability because of the limitation（？什么意思？）.
我想说：我们不能因为局限性而否定自身的主观能动性。。。应该怎么说？？？
