Study the Principle of Learning: Take Responsibility

Lav Ris Kev Kawm

I have the power to choose, and I am responsible for my own learning.

Kuv muaj hwj chim xaiv, thiab kuv lav ris kuv txoj kev kawm.

Koj yog Vajtswv ib tug me nyuam uas muaj hwj chim xaiv rau koj tus kheej. Lub hwj chim no hu ua kev ywj siab xaiv. Lihais, ib tug yaj saub hauv Phau Ntawv Maumoos, qhia peb tias peb tsis zoo li cov pob zeb uas tos ntsoov kom lwm tus los muab peb txav mus. Peb yog neeg sawv cev uas muaj peev xwm xaiv rau peb tus kheej tias peb ntseeg dab tsi, peb yuav ua li cas, thiab peb yuav hloov los ua neeg zoo li cas. Lihais qhia hais tias:

“[Vajtswv] tau tsim txhua yam, … tej uas ua taus tej yam thiab tej uas raug tej yam. … Yog li ntawd, tus Tswv uas yog Vajtswv cia rau tib neeg muaj kev ywj siab xaiv ua rau nws tus kheej” (2 Nifais 2:14, 16).

Koj muaj peev xwm xaiv kom kawm thiab ua zoo dua. Koj tus xib hwb thiab lwm tus neeg kawm hauv koj pawg sib tham pab taus koj, tiam sis thaum kawg, yog tej yam uas koj xaiv uas yuav pab koj kawm loj tshaj plaws. Koj xaiv xyaum hais lus Askiv txhua hnub los tau. Thaum twg muaj teeb meem, cia li nrhiav tej yam uas kho taus. Koj muaj kev ywj siab xaiv—yog lub hwj chim los ntawm Vajtswv kom ua taus tej yam. Koj lav ris koj txoj kev kawm ntawv.

Ponder

• Muaj tej yam twg uas nyuaj rau koj kawm lus Askiv txhua hnub?

• Koj yuav ua li cas kom muaj peev xwm thaum koj kawm lus Askiv txhua hnub?
