Many people go to school for an education.They learn languages, history, 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 can not 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 the students themselves.
It is always more important to study by oneself than to learn by heart some facts or a formula(公式).It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in maths.But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem.Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn't get everything from school.But they were all so successful.They invented so many things for mankind.The reason for their success is that they worked hard all their lives, not wasting a single moment.They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
Above all, they knew how to use their brains.
