Ang pag-aaral ay nagaganap maski sa labas ng silid-paaralan. Kadalasan, ito ay nababalot nang matagal na pag-iisip. Ang larawan sa itaas ay kuha isang maulang hapon ng Lunes, dalawang taon na ang nakakaraan. Wala namang bagyo, pero malakas ang ulan. Sa sobrang lakas ay bumaha na sa mga kalyeng-daanan. Pauwi na ang batang mag-aaral na nasa litrato, subalit siya ay natigilan. Siya ay natuksong huwag munang umuwi, at titigan nang matagal ang isang pirasong niyog na lumulutang sa tubig-baha. Gusto nya kayang iuwi ito? Gusto nya kayang gawing bola ito na puedeng sipa-sipain? Paano kaya kukunin ang niyog na hindi siya mababasa? Sayang, bagong laba at plantsa pa naman ang pantalon nya. Tiyak na magagalit si Nanay kung ito ay mapuputikan. Napakadaming tanong ang naglalaro sa isipan nya. Sa aking pakiwari, mahigit sa sampung minuto ang ginugol ng bata upang pag-aralan at pag-isipang mabuti kung ano ang gagawin niya para makuha ang niyog. Kinalaunan, nakakita siya ng kahoy at nakuha din niya ito. Isang palaisipan na nabigyang kasagutan ng malalim na pag-aaral at pag-iisip.Studying happens even outside the classroom. Often, it involves a lot of deep thought. The photo above was taken two years ago on one rainy late Monday afternoon. There was no typhoon warning, but it rained hard. The volume of rain that fell was enough to flood the streets. The young student was on his way home, but suddenly stopped when he saw a coconut floating in the flood waters. This incident tansformed him into a deep thinker. There were so many questions in his mind --- Did he want to bring the coconut home? Did he want to play with it like a kick-ball? How can he get it without getting wet and dirty? Oh, no! He could not get dirty now. His mother would surely be mad at him. Think! Think for the answer! Finally, he did came up with an answer. He took hold of a long wooden stick and pulled the coconut within his reach. Answers come to those who spend time thinking and studying.
L'étude se produit même en dehors de la salle de classe. Souvent, elle implique beaucoup de pensée profonde. La photo ci-dessus a été prise il y a à deux ans dessus un lundi après-midi en retard pluvieux. Il n'y avait aucun avertissement d'ouragan, mais il a plu dur. Le volume de pluie qui est tombé était assez pour inonder les rues. Le jeune étudiant était sur sa maison de manière, mais soudainement arrêté quand il a vu une noix de coco flotter dans les eaux d'inondation. Cet incident tansformed le dans un penseur profond. Il y avait tant de questions dans son esprit --- A-t-il voulu apporter la maison de noix de coco ? A-t-il voulu jouer avec elle aiment-il une boule de football ? Comment peut-il l'obtenir sans devenir humide et sale ? Ah, non ! Il ne pourrait pas devenir sale maintenant. Sa mère serait sûrement folle à lui. Pensez ! Pensez pour la réponse ! En conclusion, il a fait a proposé une réponse. Il s'est emparé d'un long bâton en bois et a tiré la noix de coco dans sa portée. Les réponses viennent à ceux qui passent le temps pensant et étudiant.
