Confucius said: "I silently increase my knowledge, and I am never tired of learning and teaching. Why is it difficult?"

Comment and analysis

Learning is a process that accumulates over time, and it is also a process that needs to calm down and persist silently, so the first step to learn well is to be able to calm down. Some people study, and the more they learn, the more interested they are; But some people study, and the more they learn, the more annoying they get. Why is this? In fact, the reason is very simple. As long as people can really calm down and study, they will not feel bored, but will forget the passage of time. Therefore, the key to never tire of learning is to cultivate your interest in learning. For example, playing mahjong, some people can play for more than ten hours or even dozens of hours as soon as they get to the table. If a person's interest in learning can be as strong as his interest in mahjong, what else can he learn badly?

"tirelessly teaching others" means that we don't feel tired when guiding others. How do we do this? It is also inseparable from an interest. Two people who like playing mahjong, regardless of their level of knowledge, are always in raptures and enjoy chatting about mahjong. Of course, another key to teaching people to be tireless is to have love and patience.
