HEY HELP NEEDED
Hey ,dear friends in italki,put a space here I have to write a speech about analects .haha ,would u mind helping me correct it or adding some sentences. A millions thanksss! Ladies and gentlemen, I am chengyuting, a sophomore who majors in textile engineering.Today ,I would like to share my notion of a saying that originates (comes) from the Analects which is one of most incredibly excellent chinese ancient classics. The saying goes like this : Learn extensively ,strengthen your will constantly,ask questions earnestly and be diligent in thinking .Then ,you are within the reach of virtue.”And I would like to elaborate more on the first two sentences 。In terms of learning extensively and strengthening your will ,the very first thing that came upon my mind is traveling rather than a large number of books or courses that all the teachers recommend us to read or take. Born as chinese ,we hardly have the opportunity to travel until we graduate from high school, since we have devoted most of our time into studying and reading . There is a saying that i appreciate a lot ,either read or travel ,your body or soul has to be on the road.Our soul has been on the road for around 20 years ,so it is the high time that spared our body to the road. Two thousand years ago, Confucius traveled in different states of China to spread his thoughts . He witnessed all the sufferings of people with his eyes and measured the whole china with his steps .Thus ,he knew exactly what to do to manage a state and to teach a disciple .He once said Learning without thought is labour lost; thought without learning is perilous.He attaches great importance on practice ability which is exactly the thing that we are in short of now.Life is the best instructor or the most realistic one. What we learnt from the numerous textbooks cannot be applied to the changing world.More importantly, we should not take what thetextbooks said for granted.The answer to our (confusion )and doubt is to hit the road . Once you start out ,you are put into a situation where you have no options left but to perfect yourself. You may have to learn to deal with the strangers , ask for directions , expressing your gratitude ,seeing a map .Those things may seem to be petty and easy ,but they definately will be the bases for your future improvement. Those things could never ever be taught to us by a textbook.Apart from this ,during the process of traveling , you learn to be independent which strengthen your will to some extent.
