所以我认为同学们不要妄自菲薄，见到自己不懂的，或似懂非懂的，就认为是高深学问，畏而敬之。更不要骗自己，不懂却认为是懂。同学要问︰皇帝何来新衣了？不久前一位同学问及他高举的诺斯的某术语何解。我说不懂。我怎会不懂诺斯呢？同事十三年，好几个学期他旁听我的课。诺斯对问题重要性的感受好，这是天赋，是他的本钱，创造术语只不过是他的成名玩意，而这种颇为流行的玩意他的本领只是一般。是的，经济学行内有走不同路线的人，本领各各不同，有些成名，有些被认为是笨蛋。同学不要管这些。要管的是分析，因为这是脑子的操练，对整生的任何一方面都有好处。论分析，其中一个要点是任何术语，甚至任何一个字，其意思或理解都不要放过。坚持要知道，要明白。这样，三几年后同学会体会到学问有真假之分。是的，做学问要执着。 -
