　　Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living.

　　School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher's job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think, so much more is to be learned outside school by students themselves. It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize(记忆) some facts or a formula(公式). It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists before us didn't even finish primary school. But they were all successful. They would ask many questions as they read. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment.
