Learning: a Lifelong Career

　　As food is to the body, so is learning to themind.Our bodies grow and muscles develop withthe intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise,we should keep learning day by day to maintain ourkeen mental power and expand our intellectualcapacity. Constant learning supplies us withinexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen ourpower of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keeppace with the times in the information age, and reliable warrant of success in times ofuncertainty.

　　Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the onlyworkshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a neverending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world changing so fast, to ceaselearning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What’ s worse, the animal instinctdormant deep in our sub-conscious will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our nobleideas, undermining our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and stranglingour desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to thestagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization.Therefore, to stay mentally young,we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
