推知 tuīzhī to infer
教導學生，不到他想瞭解而不得其解的時候，不去開導他；不到他想表達意見卻說不出來的時候，不去啟發他。教給他一個方面的東西，他卻不能由此而推知其它三個方面的東西，那就不再教他了。

When teaching a student, do not enlighten him until he wishes to understand what he could not. Do not inspire him until he wishes to express but could not. When teaching him one side of a solution, if he could not discover the other three sides, then do not teach him again.
