Metaphor I


"After certain volumen of intake, you must produce enough output to the society and you cannot keep it to your own. However, you did not know if your input is helpful for you unless you judge your product by seeing if it is emerging to the surface or simply sinking. Since the input/output process is a life-long one, we must constantly examinate our product and check how solid and firm it is. Then we can divert our intake to make a better product.

One final word, do not always take other's product as input. Just devour output from others and reproduce the same substance is meaningless."

If you are wondering what we are talking aobut, we are talking about "Education" here.

Your daily eating and pooing :p Solid and firm is good... I think the sinking one is better than the floating one.

Your this article is smelly. I had to hold my breath while reading.

Remind me of this:
那日到了无肠国,唐敖意欲上去。多九公道:“此地并无可观。兼之今日风顺,船行甚快,莫若赶到元股、深目等国,冉去望望罢。”唐敖道:“如此,遵命。但小弟向闻无肠之人,食物皆直通过,此事可确?”多几公道:“老夫当日也因此说,费了许多工夫,方知其详。原来他们未曾吃物,先找大解之处;若吃过再去大解,就如饮酒太过一般,登时下面就要还席。问其所以,才知吃下物去,腹中并不停留,一面吃了,随即一直通过。所以他们但凡吃物,不肯大大方方,总是贼头贼脑,躲躲藏藏,背人而食。”唐敖道:“即不停留,自然不能充饥,吃他何用?”多九公道:“此话老夫也曾问过。谁知他们所吃之物,虽不停留,只要腹中略略一过,就如我们吃饭一般,也就饱了。你看他腹中虽是空的,在他自已光景却是充足的。这是苦于不自知,却也无足为怪。就只可笑那不曾吃物的,明明晓得腹中一无所有,他偏装作充足样子;此等人未免脸厚了。他们国中向来也无极贫之家,也无大富之家。虽有几个富家,都从饮食打算来的。——那宗打算人所不能行的,因此富家也不甚多。”

唐敖道:“若说饮食打算,无非‘俭省’二字,为何人不能行?”多九公道:“如果俭省归于正道,该用则用,该省则省,那倒好了。此地人食量最大,又易饥饿,每日饮食费用过重。那想发财人家,你道他们如何打算?说来倒也好笑,他因所吃之物,到了腹中随即通过,名虽是粪,仍入腹内并不停留,尚未腐臭,所以仍将此粪好好收存,以备仆婢下顿之用。日日如此,再将各事极力刻薄,如何不富!”林之洋道:“他可自吃?”多九公道:“这样好东西,又不花钱,他安肯不吃!”唐敖道:“如此腌[月赞],他能忍耐受享,也不必管他。第以秽物仍令仆婢吃,未免太过。”多九公道:“他以腐臭之物,如教仆婢尽量饱餐,倒也罢了;不但忍饥不能吃饱,并且三次、四次之粪,还令吃而再吃,必至闹到‘出而哇之’,饭粪莫辨,这才‘另起炉灶’。”林之洋道:“他家主人,把下面大解的,还要收存;若见上面哇出的,更要爱借,留为自用了。”

Actually I do not really know what you are talking about... But in many areas, most people simply intake other's product and cannot produce new, research, theology etc.
