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.

Yexus Khetos tau hais ib zaj dab neeg txog ib tug txiv neej nplua nuj uas muab nyiaj rau peb tus tub qhe. Thawj ob tug tub qhe tau siv cov nyiaj ntawd zoo thiab tau ob npaug. Tus tub qhe thib peb ntshai heev. Nws muab cov nyiaj ntawd zais thiaj li yuav tsis ploj. Tus txiv neeg nplua nuj poob siab rau tus tub qhe thib peb tiam sis zoo siab rau ob tug. Nws hais rau ob tug tub qhe ntawd:

“Zoo heev, koj yog tus tub txib uas zoo thiab ncaj ncees! Tej yam me me uas koj saib, koj ua ncaj, kuv yuav tsa koj ua tus saib yam uas loj. Koj cia li los nrog kuv nyob kaj siab lug” (Mathais 25:21).

“Vajtswv tau muab ib los sis ob peb qhov txuj ci rau peb txhua tus. … Peb txhua tus yuav tsum nrhiav thiab siv tej lub txiaj ntsim uas Vajtswv tau muab rau peb. Peb yuav tsum nco ntsoov tias peb txhus tus muaj yam ntxwv zoo li Vajtswv, thiab tsis muaj ib tug neeg uas tsis tseem ceeb. Txhua tus muaj nqis rau Vajtswv thiab rau tib neeg” (Marvin J.
