Work is a very important part of life.
People work in order to earn a living.
A country can only make progress if its people work.
It is, therefore, important for us to be hardworking.
When we work, there is one golden rule we should always remember: Something well begun is half done.

Confucius is respected by most Chinese as the greatest teacher of all time.
Perhaps the most important word he taught was "ren," which means "benevolence."
According to Confucius, benevolence means courtesy, loyalty and unselfishness.
In fact, benevolence is the essence of his teachings.
Every teacher should, therefore, follow in his footsteps and emphasize benevolence when teaching.
