“Never regard study as a 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.”
-Albert Einstein

That his understanding and experience of study is a hard won right, not of natural right or duty (my duty is my right and my right is my duty), but an opportunity that when and if it expires, shall take man down to the pit of barbarity.

In my understanding, the main point is that learning, and broadening one's horizons should be a joy! A priviledge that is not taken for granted, but celebrated, and then given back to the world. :)

People study and test not because they are forced to, but because they think others can benefit from it, and it gives them pleasure to do so.

In this case, the other answerers probably sum it better than I could.
I agree with them.
