It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy (懒惰的) man is of no use to himself and to others. If
the man is too lazy to work, he will usually become a unuseful man. Everyone, when he is young, should learn
some useful work.
But it is not enough for a man to learn some kind of work. He should put his heart and soul(精力) into his
work, and not waste (浪费) his spare time. "Work while you work and play while you play" is as good rule for
young people as old.
There is no better to help to diligence(勤奋) than the habit(习惯) of early rising, and this, just like all other
good habits, is most easily formed in youth. There is an English saying "Lost time never returns." This means
that everyboby must be diligent, and make good use of time. One must study hard when one is young so that
one can make great progress, succeed in life and become useful to one's country. So we can say that diligence
is the mother of success.
