活到老,学到老

最近些年来,社会上有越来越多的公司职员利用工作之余的时间投入学习,去补充学生时代知识的不足,以求得到提高,获得更多的发展机会.
而大家对这种现象又是怎么看的呢?据了解 ,大家对此持有不同看法, 其中有两种不同的观点最为突出.
一为反方观点: 这些人吃饱了没事干,工作那么辛苦了,下班也不好好休息在那瞎折腾,都一大把年纪了,早过了学习期了,现在哪学的进去啊,完全是花钱找罪受!
二为正方观点: 坚决支持,能及时醒悟,知道自己知识的缺乏,努力去提高,以求提高社会竞争力,对于本人和社会都是一件好事,提高了自己的综合素质的同时让其它人也不能不去努力学习以适应社会.
我本人的看法是坚决支持正方观点的,我相信大多数的人会支持.毕竟知识不一定要在学校里才能学到,好多东西都是走入社会后才边学边做学会的,而且走入社会,投入工作中的人才知道现在自己缺的是什么,会比较有针对性的学习,不会盲目.况且追求上进是一种美德,如果全中国各行各业的人都知道去学习提高,何愁不能赶超西方发达国家.
笔者本人也是其中之一,走入社会才知道知识的短缺,完全不能应付社会的竞争,特别是现在世界经济一体化的格局,对英语的要求是越来越高,英文的水平对就业起着举足轻重的作用.现在真的好后悔在学校没有好好学习,真对不起老师和家人的期望和培养.当然,现在学习起来毕竟不同于在学校,时间和精力都没有那么充足,有时真让人感觉有点心力交瘁,虽然如此之困难,但在看到自己的提高后那种快乐感还是让人很欣慰的.不知不觉中就会想起那句上学时老师常说的话:活到老,学到老.

Life Long Learning

In recent years, more and more office workers are trying to use their free time to learn, to complement for their knowledge deficiency gained within their schools, so as to get a promotion and more chance for personal development.
But what’s the general publics’ opinion towards this? According to a survey, different people possess different opinions but there is two viewpoints that is most recognized among them.
One is the con side, their point of view is “these people are completely out of their mind they’ve already got such a grueling work, instead of have a good rest after work they engage themselves in such works, at this age you’ve already past your learning period it’s too hard to learn now, it’s completely money consuming but rewardless! ”
The other is the pro side: they support this firmly, be able to come to themselves timely know what they lack of and try to improve themselves so as to become more competitive is good, both for themselves and the society for this not only improved their own comprehensive qualities but also urge others to learn so as to be better adapted to the society.
To me I firmly hold on to the pro side and I believe most of the people will. After all we can gain knowledge everywhere not necessarily in schools, there are a lot of things needs to be learnt as we go along, what’s more it’s only after we entered society and begin to work do we really know what we lacked then we’ll be learning with pertinence and avoid being aimless. Furthermore pursuing for perfection is a virtue, if our Chinese people in various fields all willing to improve there is no way that China won’t surpass those developed countries and become No.1.
I myself is one of those, it’s only after I entered society that I knew my deficiency in knowledge and is completely helpless in coping with the fierce competition. Especially in this world economy integrative period, the demand of English level is higher and higher, you level of English plays an important role in whether you can obtain an employment. Now I’m really regretful for not worked hard in school and really sorry for my parents and the teachers’ expectations. Of course as we learn now it’s not as easy as it’s in school we don’t have such time and energy sometimes I really felt like giving up but having seen my improvement it made me carry on. Unconsciously I remembered our teacher used to learning is a life long experience.
