Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
一旦进修停滞，单调穷困。它是以黉舍为吸取常识的独一的一个广泛的误区。相反，进修应当是一个永无尽头的进程，从摇篮到坟墓。世界变更如斯之快，从几天不进修会使人落伍。更糟糕的是，冬眠在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会回生，减弱我们寻求高尚幻想，弱化我们清除胜利障碍的决心和抹杀我们净化我们的性情。缺乏进修将弗成避免地导致心灵的停止，甚至更糟，使其僵化，是以，为了坚持心理年青，我们必需将进修看成平生的事业。
