...A Book & A Journey...
๏ Travel once, read one book
Fill the heart and feel satisfied, add to your dreams
Touch the world through books, day and night
And touch that world again in real life
๏ There is an old Chinese saying
Travel ten thousand li is greater than anything
Reading ten thousand books is not easy
But experience is more valuable than textbooks
๏ However, if you travel far and do not learn
If you never read or study
Knowledge will not grow and wisdom will not appear
How can you continue to build on it?
๏ In truth, the two go side by side
The real world and the world of dreams
Words move from outside to inside
Touching thoughts, touching feelings, touching oneself
๏ To open yourself to every direction
To learn about the wide world everywhere
To experience the real world that you see and hear
And give meaning to every word
๏ Read ten thousand books, then set out
Ready to travel ten thousand li with your own steps
Along the way, learn and keep memories
Form your thoughts clearly and repeat them to remember
๏ Let dreams be beautiful within reality
Let every answer respond to every question
So the real world remains true to its name
And the world of dreams is complete as it is called
๏ Travel once, read one book
Fill your heart with what you choose
The world and us, us and the world, day and night
Learn about the world of dreams through reality
The world and us, us and the world, day and night
Read reality, read dreams, through reality
