In order to live a worthwhile life, you first need to lay a good foundation for living in the world, which is to pass the level of studying. The scope of reading is very wide, including natural sciences, social sciences and other fields. Natural science in the narrow sense mainly learns the foundation of human life, that is, the maintenance of production and life; The social sciences mainly focus on the foundation of life, that is, to deal with the relationship between people and society. In Shanglian, "reading can be enlightened" is mainly said from social science, that is, reading can help people understand affairs, so as to deal with a variety of complex social relations, and ensure that they are invincible in production, life and a variety of social activities. And "diligence can be rich" and God rewards diligence is a truth, only diligent, conscientious, it is possible to create more wealth.
The next link "self-modesty, self-defeat, self-pride" is easier to understand, and there are many famous sayings and aphorisms in this regard, such as: modesty makes people progress, and pride makes people backward.
