July is always the moment of parting.On the last day of graduation exams for a prestigious university, the graduates are looking forward to the future with great ambition, their faces are full of confidence, this is the last test before they attend the graduation ceremony and work.

Some are talking about the jobs they have now, others about the jobs they will get.With the confidence gained after 4 years of university study, they feel ready and capable of conquering the world.

They all thought that this was just a very simple quiz and it would be over soon, because the professor had said that they could bring any books or notes they wanted with only one requirement, that they could not whisper during the quiz.

They rushed into the classroom with confidence.The professor distributed the test papers.Confident smiles came to the students' faces when they noticed that there were only five comment-type questions.

Three hours passed, and the professor began to collect the test papers.The students looked less confident, with a look of fear on their faces.There was silence in the classroom, and the professor held the test paper in his hand, facing all the graduates who took the test.

He looked down at the anxious faces in front of him, and then asked, "How many people have completed the five questions?"

Not a single hand was raised.

"How many of the 4 questions have been completed?"

Still no hands raised.

"3 questions? 2 questions?"

Many students buried their heads deeply, and they answered the professor's questions in silence.

"What about 1 question? Of course someone will complete 1 question."

But the entire classroom was still silent. In this silent atmosphere, there was a deep sense of depression and frustration.The professor put down the test paper, "This is exactly the result I expected to get." He said.

"I just want to impress you that even though you have completed 4 years of engineering studies, there is still a lot about the subject that you don't know. The questions you can't answer are very different from everyday life practice.” Then he added with a smile: “You will all pass this course, but remember—even if you are now college graduates, your education is still just beginning.”

It is difficult to fill a glass that is already full of water, and so is the human heart.

People are born to stand on the same starting line, but why do they reach different heights?Some are successful, others are nothing?The main reason is that the former always "leave some empty glasses" and accept it humbly, while the latter is self-satisfied and self-righteous, and finally complacent and eliminated himself.

Traveling in life is the process of absorbing various nutrients and nourishing life.If we take too much complacency on the road, just like the glass full of water, no more water can enter, this will be the greatest tragedy in life.In the journey of life, everyone must keep in mind that no matter when, they must leave some "empty glasses" for themselves and ask for advice with an open mind.There is no end to learning, and only when the heart is free can we hold things.

Exploring Survival Skills in Learning

The children of the poor have long been in charge of the family. When Xiao Wang Mian was seven or eight years old, he was already able to help the family.His parents arranged for him to take the cows out to graze every day.

One day, little Wang Mian went out to herd cattle as usual.But when the sun went down, the food my mother made was cold, and Wang Mian didn't come home.After a while, the cow came back from the outside alone, walked around the yard by himself, and then slowly got into the cow pen, but Wang Mian, who herded the cow, did not come back together.

His parents were very worried and wanted to go out to look for it. At this moment, Wang Mian ran back from the outside panting. He first went to the cattle pen to have a look and found that the cattle had returned, so he breathed a sigh of relief.His father called him to him and asked him why he came back late. Wang Mian lowered his head and explained guiltily, "I forgot the time while listening to the book."

It turned out that when Wang Mian passed by the school in the village when herding cattle, he heard the sound of reading books coming from inside, and he was immediately attracted and envious. I sneaked into the school, listened to the students reading, listened to a sentence, and memorized a sentence. I was so fascinated that before I knew it, the sun had already set.

When he ran to the grassland to look for the cow, he found that the cow had broken the rope and gone somewhere.Fortunately, the road was familiar, and the cow returned to the pen by itself.Although Niu returned home safely, Wang Mian was inevitably beaten.

His father beat him hard and taught him not to listen to books while herding cattle.However, this stick did not destroy his thirst for knowledge.Two days later, the same thing happened again.When the father was about to beat him with a stick again, the mother persuaded him: "The child is so infatuated, and beating is of no use. Just don't let him let the cow go." Since then, the father never let him herd the cow. up.

At that time, it happened that the Buddhist temple on the mountain next to the village had to hire people to do rough work, so Wang Mian went to live in the temple.He does some chores during the day and eats two meals in exchange for two meals. At night, he sleeps in the Buddhist hall. With the help of the faint light of the ever-burning lamp on the table, he concentrates on reading a book, and does not go to bed until midnight every night.

Because of Wang Mian's studiousness, a local scholar named Han Xing accepted him as an apprentice and studied with him.

With such good conditions, Wang Mian cherished them all the more and studied hard every day.In order to allow himself to master more skills, he became obsessed with writing poems and paintings while working and studying. After diligent study and practice, he finally made outstanding achievements in poetry and painting.
