Ni Yang continued, "You must promise Sister Ni Yang, study hard, strive for progress every day, and become a useful person in the future!"
Goudan scratched his head in puzzlement, "Sister Ni Yang, why do we need to study hard? If we don't study hard, does it mean we won't be a useful person in the future?"
With a slight smile, Ni Yang squatted down and looked into Goudan's eyes, "Studying hard will grant you the power to choose your future, to choose meaningful, and liberating work, rather than being forced to survive. When you feel your job is meaningful, you will feel accomplished. When your job leaves you time to live your life, you will have dignity. Accomplishment and dignity bring you happiness! A meaningful job makes you a useful person!"
Rather puzzled, Goudan nodded, "Alright, I'll take Sister Ni Yang's advice, and I will study hard and strive for progress every day."
