"Being strong without desire" and "indifference to fame and profit" represent the highest realm of non-attachment. All things in the world often converge on the character "light" (dai): lightness clarifies ambition, elegance expresses integrity, and simplicity guides conduct in the world.

Once students truly understand and master the content taught by their teachers, their learning ability will significantly improve. Through inference, they can gradually understand content that the teacher has not even covered. Such teaching often yields results twice as effective for half the effort.
Reading extracurricular books allows us to gather broad information, becoming well-informed and possessing a global perspective, thus avoiding being narrow-minded. It also allows us to focus on our specialties, concentrate our energy, and reach the peak early. In short, to cultivate emotions or for self-entertainment, we can focus our attention on the parts we understand when reading, and simply read through the parts we don't understand without seeking deep comprehension at first. We mostly read masterpieces for enjoyment, naturally receiving enlightenment and benefits through that enjoyment. Deliberately seeking solutions often destroys the atmosphere of enjoyment.
When reading, if your mind is not on the book, your eyes will not look closely.

Even the smallest good habit can greatly help with success; even the smallest bad habit, once formed and grown, may become hard to change and potentially become an obstacle to success. In life, we must be the masters of our habits, not slaves to bad ones.
