I like reading. Some people say that I am idle:
Besides going to work,
Eat and read, sleep and read,
Don't leave your hands when you go to the toilet.
I said I was busy:
Besides going to work,
No drinking, no smoking,
I haven't had time to talk.
People say reading is bitter, but I say reading is sweet.
You needn't borrow money.
No playing, no singing,
Laughing all the time.
No gossip, no broken words,
Do not harm others and benefit yourself.
If books are an ocean of knowledge,
I want to go to the seaside to chase the waves.
If books are spiritual food,
I want to keep it carefully.
There are roads to climb in Shushan,
There is no limit to learning the sea.
Confucius said: What a joy!
