Passage 17

In English

You must only develop interest in education. Don’t worry about the problems, difficulties, losses, and sorrows of home. Study well, get good grades, and show gratitude to your teachers and parents. Why should we show gratitude? Because your food, your money, your head, and your blood are all from your parents. So you must first show gratitude to your parents. It is no use simply growing physically, you must also develop your mind. Your teachers are responsible for developing your intellect so you must show gratitude to your teachers. Your mother is your first teacher, because without your mother, you would not have been born. Your mother granted you life, so you must first show gratitude to your mother. You must listen to your mother’s advice and follow it in your conduct.
