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 ib tug uas muaj kev ywj siab xaiv; koj muaj hwj chim xaiv ua tej yam rau koj tus kheej. Tej lub sij hawm peb nyiam tos kom cov thawj coj, cov xib hwb, los sis lwm tus qhia peb ua li cas. Peb xav kom lawv qhia meej tias peb yuav tsum ua dab tsi. Vajtswv xav kom peb to taub hais tias vim peb yog Nws cov me nyuam, peb muaj hwj chim nyob hauv peb kom xaiv tej yam zoo thiab mus tom ntej.

Nws piav hais tias Nws cov me nyuam “yuav tsum mob siab ua tej yam zoo, thiab ua ntau yam los ntawm lawv tus kheej txoj kev ywj siab xaiv, thiab coj kom muaj kev ncaj ncees ntau los; Vim lawv twb muaj lub hwj chim, uas lawv xaiv ywj siab rau lawv tus kheej.” Thiab npaum li uas neeg ua qhov zoo ces lawv yeej yuav tsis poob lawv nqi zog” (Lus Qhuab Qhia thiab Kev Khi Lus 58:27–28).

Lub hwj chim nyob hauv koj. Koj muaj peev xwm lav ris koj txoj kev kawm ntawv. Yog koj tus xib hwb mob thiab tuaj tsis taus, koj xaiv tau kom xyaum hais lus nrog lwm tus uas kawm ntawv. Yog koj tsis to taub, koj thov tau kom txais kev pab. Yog koj xav tau tswv yim kom paub kawm zoo dua, koj thov tau lwm tus neeg nyob hauv koj pawg seb lawv ua dab tsi. Koj muaj hwj chim xaiv thiab ua tej yam. Nrog Vajtswv txoj kev pab, koj txiav txim tias koj yuav kawm dab tsi thiab hloov los ua neeg zoo li cas.

Ponder

• Koj ntseeg hais tias koj lav ris kev kawm ua dab tsi?

• Koj yuav ua li cas kom lav ris koj txoj kev kawm ntawv?
