To learn with success is not a very difficult task if some fundamental principles are laid down. While discussing this subject, I'd like to mention four indispensable principles：diligence, devotion, constancy, and punctuality.
All things can be conquered by diligence. It makes the foolish wise, the poor rich, and the humble noble. It produces a wonderful effect. In learning, the work of a diligent fool doubles that of a lazy wit.
Devotion means to set our heart on one thing at a time and give up all other thoughts. Never think of learning another subject while studying one subject. Those who often change their studies will never succeed in the long run. Therefore, in order to be successful we need devotion.
Constancy makes success a certainty. In contrast, inconstancyoften results in failure. If we study day after day, there is nothing that can not be achieved. We should remember a worthy proverb“constant dripping of water wears away a stone.”
Besides, there is another rule that contributes to one's accomplishments, that is, punctuality. The habit of keeping regular hours is of extreme importance to successful learning. Work while you work；play while you play. Every man will certainly become strong and wise if he does so.
如果製定幾條基本的行為準則，那麽學有成效就不難完成了。就目前討論的這個問題，我想提四條不可或缺的學習準則：勤奮用功、專心致誌、堅持不懈、講究準時。
勤奮可以戰勝一切困難。勤奮可以讓愚人變得聰明，讓窮人變成富人，讓卑賤者變得高貴。勤奮會產生非同尋常的效果。在學習上，以勤補拙的人所取得的成績相當於一個懶惰的聰明人的兩倍。
專心致誌是指全神貫注地專注於一件事，摒除一切雜念。當你在學習某一科目時，永遠不要去想另一門學科的知識。那些經常改變學習內容的人終究不會獲得長久的成功。所以，為了獲得成功，我們需要一心一意地學習。
持之以恒是成功的保證。相反，缺乏恒心通常會導致失敗。如果我們日複一日地不斷學習，就沒有實現不了的目標。我們應當記住一條意義深刻的諺語：“水滴石穿。”
除此之外，還有一條協助人們取得成就的規則，即準時。對於卓有成效的學習來說，準時的習慣是極為重要的。工作時工作，遊戲時遊戲。如果人人都這麽做，每個人就會變得強健、聰明。
