School education ends, but we keep learning to gain new knowledge and get joy all our life.

2. Should we follow all online short-video courses?
No. Learning from others means exchanging ideas and solving problems together, not copying answers.
No. We need to choose materials wisely and pick suitable, high-quality resources.
Do you agree with “I’m not smart so I can’t study well”?
