——韩愈《进学解》
格言大意:学业由于勤奋而精进,由于嬉戏而荒废。
Main Idea: One will study well and make progress if one works hard. One would neglect one’s studies if one plays all day.
李密专心读书(Li Mi putting his whole heart in reading)
隋朝时的李密专心学习,不愿意浪费一点儿时间。小时候他出门,把要阅读的书挂在牛角上,一边骑牛一边读书。长大后,有一次他从一个有名的大臣身边经过,都没有察觉到。那个大臣很敬佩李密学习的专心和勤奋。
