学习的意义 The Meaning of Study

study has been the necessary part of human's life. Many students take it as their duty and they don't realize the meaning of study. Most people believe that the purpose of study is to master some skills and make money. This is the basic function of education. I believe that the further meaning is to teach people the way of thinking. If there are two jobs, one is to sell pastry for 12 hours, and the other one is to work in the office for 8 hours, but the former can earn double income. The young people will surely take the second job, because they need more private time to do their own things. They have more things to chase besides making the ends meet.  
学习是人类生活的必要部分，很多学生把它当作任务，并没有意识到学习的意义。大多数人认为，学习的目的是掌握一些技巧和赚钱。这是教育的基本功能，我认为学习更深远的意义是教会人们思考的方式。如果有两份工作，一份是卖饼干12小时，另一份是在办公室工作8小时，但前者可以赚取比后者多一倍的收入。年轻人肯定会选第二个工作，因为他们需要更多的私人时间去做自己的事情。除了满足收支平衡，他们还有很多事情可以去追求。
