Live to learn from old age and persevere in learning from old age. The engraving of gold and stone confirms this truth. "Live and learn" comes from the famous Athenian politician Solon, which literally means "the older I get, the more I learn." Solon was awarded the title of "The First Poet of Athens" in his early years; before and after the "Solon Reform" that destroyed the clan system, he inspected everywhere; in his later years, he retired at home, engaged in research and writing, and often shouted "Live to learn" to encourage yourself.

The famous biographer Plutarch quoted this famous saying in Solon's life. Rousseau, the 18th-century French enlightener, quoted and developed this theory in his later work "The Reveries of the Lonely Walker". Since then, Solon's famous saying has been passed down to this day.

According to the basic principles of Marxist philosophy, the world we live in is objective, everything outside consciousness is objective, and objective things exist before human consciousness. Consciousness is the reflection of objective things in the human brain. Of course, things are objective, which does not mean that we are powerless in front of objective things and can only be in a passive position. Consciousness plays an active role in objective things, that is, correct consciousness guides us to practice, thereby changing the state of things and serving ourselves.

In other words, correct practice requires correct awareness as a blueprint. So, how should we correctly reflect objective things? The answer is to learn. Through learning, we can acquire knowledge, acquire certain skills, and then contribute to society and create conditions for ourselves.

We humans have accumulated a lot of spiritual wealth in the long process of development. Even if we are proficient in a certain aspect, we still need to learn it for a long time. Therefore, live and learn.

From the perspective of learning itself, learning is also spiritual enrichment. In the process of learning, we will think, and in the process of thinking, human nature will be sublimated. Throughout our short lives, we need to emphasize our worth. When you are young, learning is for ideals and stability; in middle age, learning is the supplement and emptiness of the soul; in old age, learning is a kind of artistic conception, slowly savor it and enjoy it.

Live and learn. A common saying is the great artistic conception of being a human being.
