人生于世，皆得就学，纵是古人，虽多未能习武修文，亦多习诸技艺。
曰种地、技工（手艺）诸类，可有不学自会？
人多以为，学者，上学念书为学，是故，于待人处事不顾，但管念书，高分低能之谓也。
实则，念书所学，多有遗忘，所重之重，学其所需。
以人生受学最佳之时，皓首穷经，若待人处事，一无所知，亦无用之辈也。

A Discourse on Learning
Learning is living, and even the ancients who mostly could not pursue academic studies or martial or military learning, they would learn the trades or skills.
(Note: the Chinese mostly talk about academic learning and martial or military learning as 习文修武）.
Even skills like farming and crafts might not be acquired without learning.
Most people believe that learning is school learning, and all emphasis is placed on academic studies without attention to interpersonal and practical skills; consequently, the so-called "high grade, low ability" type emerged.
The reality is: School learnings are mostly forgotten, and the gist is to learn the necessaries.
To spend the whole golden age for learning on academics without learning interpersonal and practical skills is to produce the useless.
