The emphasis on 'khôn' (wisdom) reflects the Confucian value of self-cultivation through experience. Young Vietnamese 'backpackers' (dân phượt) often use this proverb to justify their adventurous lifestyle to conservative parents. Vietnamese schools are increasingly incorporating 'field trips' (dã ngoại) based on the philosophy of this proverb.
