There is an Arabic fable about philosophers and boatmen. When philosophers know that boatmen know neither history nor mathematics, they think that boatmen have lost more than half their lives. When the wind overturned the boat and the philosopher who couldn't swim fell into the water, the boatman told him that he would lose his life. From this story, I realized a profound problem: knowledge and ability are equally important and inseparable. ?

Knowledge is the foundation of ability. It was because of his rich knowledge that Newton discovered the law of gravity, Madame Curie discovered radium, and Mao Yisheng designed the Qiantang River Bridge?

But knowledge does not necessarily mean ability. It is true that the philosopher in the story is very knowledgeable, but because he has no simple swimming ability, he can't save himself and die after falling into the water! Therefore, knowledge alone is not enough. Only by knowing how to apply knowledge, that is, mastering the ability, can we give full play to the role of knowledge and walk ahead of others in practice. ?

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhao Kuo had been reading The Art of War, and he knew all kinds of tactics by heart. When it comes to military affairs, even his father, Ye Zhao, finds it hard to refute him. But it is such a military "wizard" who was completely annihilated in the battle with General Qin, blood shed. It can be seen that knowledge is not equal to ability. There are so many educated people the same age as Edison. Why did Edison, who didn't study for a few days, become the most inventor in the world? Does it mean that no one else has knowledge? No, they have no ability to apply knowledge. Therefore, while learning knowledge, we should pay more attention to cultivating our own abilities. Only when you have the ability can you apply knowledge easily.

A prophet said: the illiterate people in the future are not illiterate people, but incompetent people. At present, there is a widespread phenomenon of "high scores and low abilities" in many schools. Not long ago, I heard that a female college student was admitted to the university with excellent results, but within a few days, she went home by bus because she could not take care of herself. This problem is also reflected in me. From the enlightenment to the present, the education of my parents and teachers for nearly ten years has given me rich knowledge and basic ability to analyze things, and I can talk about the past and present with my classmates endlessly. But even so, when my mother is away, a simple lunch makes me in a hurry. It can be seen that it is very important to improve the application ability, practical ability and creative ability of teenagers in China. ?

2 1 century is a diversified era with rapid development in all aspects. Knowledge is constantly updated and the amount of knowledge is constantly increasing, which requires us to have strong hands-on ability, innovative ability and the ability to integrate theory with practice as the masters of the next century. Therefore, we should cultivate and exercise ourselves in our study and life, and be a knowledgeable and capable person.
