How to Learn with Success

佚名 / Anonymous

To learn with success is not a very difficult task if some fundamental principles are laid down. While discussing this subject, I'd like to mention four indispensable principles: diligence, devotion, constancy, and punctuality.

All things can be conquered by diligence. It makes the foolish wise, the poor rich, and the humble noble. It produces a wonderful effect. In learning, the work of a diligent fool doubles that of a lazy wit.

Devotion means to set our heart on one thing at a time and give up all other thoughts. Never think of learning another subject while studying one subject. Those who often change their studies will never succeed in the long run. Therefore, in order to be successful we need devotion.

Constancy makes success a certainty. On the other hand, inconstancy often results in failure. If we study day after day, there is nothing that cannot be achieved. We should remember a worthy proverb “Constant dropping of water wears away a stone.”

Besides, there is another rule that contributes to one’s accomplishments, that is, punctuality. The habit of keeping regular hours is of extreme importance to successful learning. Work while you work; play while you play. Every man will certainly become strong and wise if he does so.

若指定一些基本的原则,予以约束,要学有所成并不难。在探讨这一话题时,我想提四条不可或缺的原则:勤奋、专心、毅力与守时。

勤奋能战胜一切。勤能补拙,使贫穷变为富有,使卑贱变为高贵。勤奋能产生意想不到的神奇效果。在学习上,一个勤勉的愚笨之人的实效是一个懒惰的聪明人的两倍。

专心是指一心一意地做某事,抵制所有的私心杂念。学习某一学科时,不去想另一科。经常变换学习内容的人很难有所成效的。所以,要成功,就需要专心。

毅力是成功的保证。反之,若缺乏毅力,则会招致失败。若我们坚持每天都学习,就一定可以达到目的。我们应铭记“滴水穿石”这一有价值的谚语。

除此之外,还有一条助人成功的规则,就是守时。守时这一习惯对于学有所成是非常重要的。工作时工作,游戏时游戏。若人人如此,就都会变得强大而聪慧。
