"Study" and "Cram."

I went to GVO today and we were talking about "Studying." During the class, Allen asked us about the attitude how we study. Then he told us what's the difference with "Study" and "Cram".

He said "Study" is:
(1)the pursuit of knowledge, by observation of research.
(2)mental absorption. (not brain absorption)
(3)to apply one's mind purposefully to the acquisition of knowledge.
(4)to read carefully.
(5)to give careful thought to.

and "Cram" is:
(1)to force, press, or squeeze into an insufficient space.
(2)to fill too tightly.
(3)to eat quickly or greedily.
(4)to prepare hastily for a test.
(5)to read hastily.

So I asked myself: Do I like study? I think the answer now is "YES", but I didn't like to study when I was a student. I think that because I don't know how wonderful it is before. I just like reading, but nothing serious. How stupid I was.

Oh...and Allen share us a part of an article, I think that's good, so if some of you have the interest, just look down:

All animals live. But only man has any control over how he lives. Man lives according to his understanding of the meaning of life. Therefore, to be ignorant is to remain an animal, and not become a man. Ignorance is not the lack of a college or graduate school diploma. It is the lack of understanding of the meaning of life.

Understanding cannot be transmitted from one person to another. It has to be born and nourished in each separate individual. All that can be transmitted is knowledge. Knowledge consists of facts about earth and air, the seas and the havens, man and nature. These facts can be transmitted, and in the formal places of instruction, the schools, this is done. What facts are available about how man understands can also be transmitted. But understanding itself cannot be transmitted.

Allen asked us: Do you think people who graduated from the schools like Harvard are all knowin' the meanin' of life?
It's a obvious question, just like no one can promise that our President had to be a perfect guy and shouldn't became rich through graft, right?
Sorry, I think I don't need to compare this in that way. :D

Anyway, I just do a little chat about that and have no idea why I come to this way, haha...


PS. If I made mistakes in this article, please tell me, thx :D
