1. First of all
, the writer points out that there is a mistake
about learning. Some young people
dislike
learning simply because they are educated in the
wrong way. Learning is a natural pleasure
that
should be enjoyed. Then he develops this idea by
examples to illustrate the different aspects:
learning from books, by travel and trough
practice. Learning can expand one’s knowledge over
a
period of time.
2. The chief danger of
learning is laziness, sloth, routine, stupidity.
It sneaks into people’s mind
like wind through
the shutters, causing people to slowly give up
learning. We should realize that
learning is a
life-long endeavor, and only by continuous
learning can one gain a meaningful and
rewarding life.
