Why I Learn
Why do I learn? My friends asked me this question when I declined to be employed as a department director in a company with the salary of 500 yuan a month.
Certainly, I don't learn because learning can bring me money and power. On the contrary, some books cost the sum I cannot afford. Nor do I learn because I want to get an academic degree or a diploma. In these years an academic degree or a diploma alone can't guarantee an applicant job.
Why on earth do I learn? I learn because I want to explore the secret of nature and the society. I know there are uncountable questions to which the answers are beyond me. But this doesn't frustrate my efforts to understand them within my limits as a human being. I learn because I am a member of Chinese people who are most active and vital force in society. We think it our duty to learn. In transforming China into an advanced industrialized country, we are confronted with arduous tasks and our knowledge is from adequate. So we must seek knowledge.
In my opinion, knowledge is very important. It enables us to get rid of ignorance and find out the ways of overcoming our difficulties. It is universally accepted that knowledge is power. This power is greater than a director's, remolding our subjective world while changing the objective world. Knowledge is wealth, too. This wealth is precious for it can't be exhausted or stolen. Now that I have the chance to learn at college, why not?
