It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others. ①假如一个人太懒惰，通常他将会成为一个无用之人。Everyone, when he is young, should learn some useful work.
But it is not enough for a man to learn some kind of work. He should put his heart and soul (精力) into his work, and not waste his spare time. ②"Work while you work and play while you play" is a good rule for both young and old people.
There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.” This means that everyone must be diligent, and make good use of time. ③One must study hard when one is young in order that one can become useful to one's country. So we can say that diligence is the mother of success.
