I enjoy the act of research. I'm researching as a means to an end, but I literally just enjoy reading about how people lived in the past and understanding it better.
He who speaks a bit of a foreign language has more delight in it than he who speaks it well; pleasure goes along with superficial knowledge.
I was very happy and honored to create the Professor Garfield Foundation with Ball State to make reading fun.
To learn is a natural pleasure, not confined to philosophers, but common to all men.
My father is a chemist, my mother was a homemaker. My parents instilled in us the feeling that learning was the most exciting thing that could happen to you, and it never ends.
Ordinary people simply don't know what books mean to us, shut up here. Reading, learning, and the radio are our amusements.
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
Learning should be a joy and full of excitement. It is life's greatest adventure; it is an illustrated excursion into the minds of the noble and the learned.
The natural inclination of a child is to take pleasure in the use of the mind no less than of the body. The child's primary business is learning. It is also the primary entertainment. To retain that orientation into adulthood, so that consciousness is not a burden but a joy, is the mark of the successfully developed human being.
I want kids to think that reading can be just as much fun and more so than TV or video games or whatever else they do. I think any other kind of message or morals that I might teach is secondary to first just enjoying a book.
You will cast away your cards and dice when you find the sweetness of youthful learning.
Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as hard duty. Never regard study as duty but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.
Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift.
I loved doing problems in school.
I enjoyed the whole process of learning and was always happy when autumn came and school or college started up again.
One of my passions is that children enjoy their time at school - and reading for pleasure can be an important part of that.
There is no study that is not capable of delighting us after a little application to it.
Chinese culture is already telling children to work hard. That's not growth mindset because they're working hard for the product, not for the growth or the joy of learning.
Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn
I don't love studying. I hate studying. I like learning. Learning is beautiful.
The joy of learning is as indispensable in study as breathing is in running. Where it is lacking there are no real students, but only poor caricatures of apprentices who, at the end of their apprenticeship, will not even have a trade.
The process of learning is a nonstop orgy of wonderment.
I don't think Brian Cox does 'The Wonders of the Solar System' because he believes the world would be a better place if people understood about the rings of Saturn; I just think he finds physics extremely interesting. It brings him joy, and he wants to spread the love. I feel the same about economics.
The joy of learning is as indispensable in study as breathing is in running.
Pleasure must be found in study.
