Question

    It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others. If the man is too lazy to work, he will usually become a useless man. Everyone, when he is young, should learn some useful work. But it is not enough for a man to learn some kinds of work. He should also put his heart and soul(精力) into his work, and not waste his spare time. "Work while you work and play while you play” is a good rule not only for young people but also for the old.

There is no better way to help to be diligent than forming the habit of early rising. Just like all other good habits, we can form it easily in youth. There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.” That means that everybody 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.
