it is the duty of every man to work. the life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others. the man who is too lazy to work is the man who's generally most ready to beg or to steal. every boy when he is young should learn some useful work.
but it is not enough that a boy should learn some kind of work. he should put his heart and soul completely into his work, and not waste his spare time. "work while you work and play while you play" is as good a rule for young people as for the old.
there is no better help to diligence than the habit of early rising, which just like all other good habits is most easily formed in youth. there is an english saying, "lost time never returns." this means that everybody must be diligent, and make good use of his time. one must study hard when he is
young so that he may make great progress, succeed in life and become useful to his country. therefore, we say that diligence is the mother of success.
論勤奮
工作是每個(gè)人的義務(wù)。懶人的生活無(wú)論是對(duì)自己還是對(duì)他人都是毫無(wú)用處的。一個(gè)懶惰不愿工作的人,其結(jié)果通常只能是乞討或偷盜。每個(gè)男孩從小就應(yīng)學(xué)會(huì)一些有用的技能。
但是僅僅學(xué)會(huì)某些技能還是遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠的。他需要全身心投入地工作,休息時(shí)也不浪費(fèi)時(shí)間?!肮ぷ鲿r(shí)工作,娛樂(lè)時(shí)娛樂(lè)”,這句話對(duì)年輕人和老年人都是不變的真理。
養(yǎng)成早起的習(xí)慣最有助于成為一個(gè)勤奮的人,和其他很多好習(xí)慣一樣,早起的習(xí)慣在人年輕時(shí)最容易養(yǎng)成。英語(yǔ)里有一句諺語(yǔ):“時(shí)光一去不復(fù)返”。就是說(shuō)每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該勤奮工作,充分利用時(shí)間。一個(gè)人年輕時(shí)必須要努力學(xué)習(xí)才能取得巨大的進(jìn)步,在生活中獲得成功,成為對(duì)國(guó)家有用的人。因此,我們說(shuō):勤奮是成功之母。
