采菊东篱下,悠然见南山。
陶渊明

Who wrote them? How much do you know abou them?
Within the world of men I make my home,
Yet din of horse and carriage there is none;
You ask me how this quiet is achieved —
With thoughts remote the place appears alone.
While picking asters’neath the Eastern fence
My gaze upon the Southern mountain rests;
The mountain views are good by day or night,
The birds come flying homeward to their nests.
A truth in this reflection lies concealed,
But I forget how it may be revealed.
饮酒 其五
结庐在人境,而无车马喧。
问君何能尔,心远地自偏。
采菊东篱下,悠然见南山;
山气日夕佳,飞鸟相与还。
此中有真意,欲辨已忘言。
Tao Yuanming

Learning to learn
An extended metaphor refers to a comparison between two things that is developed at length over many lines of text, or throughout an entire work of literature. For example, in the butterfly story, the struggle of the butterfly illustrates life’s struggles. While the story appears to be about a butterfly, it is really about us.

A Lesson from Ants
One day, I was resting in my grandparent’s garden when I saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, this being a sure sign of rain. All of a sudden, an ant came into my sight. The tiny creature was trying hard to carry a tiny piece of bread to its nest, but its efforts were in vain. Each time the ant picked up the piece of bread, it rolled down its body and fell onto the ground. While I was wondering why the ant was trying so hard to achieve the impossible, it was joined by more ants. This group of ants worked together, and eventually they managed to carry the piece of bread to their nest.
Similarly, we can cooperate and collaborate in order to achieve what seems impossible for us to do as individuals. In order to achieve our goals, we should work together.
