Appreciation and Translation of Meng Jiao's "Encouraging Learning"

The original text of persuasion: there is fire when hitting a stone, but no smoke when hitting a yuan. It is unnatural to learn without learning. Everything must be his own luck, he is not my sage. Youth must be early, how can we grow into teenagers?

Only when you hit a stone will there be a spark; If you don't fight, not even a little smoke will come out. So do people. Only by studying can we master knowledge. Without learning, knowledge will not fall from the sky. Everything depends on your own practice, and the knowledge gained by others can't replace your own talent. You should work hard as soon as possible while you are young. Can a person be a teenager forever?
