我們要是熱愛生命，就不應該浪費時間。我們應該掌握時間。
使用時間的最好辦法就是好好計劃時間。 在制定學習計劃時，我們應該記住兩件事。
第一，應該現實一些，不要企圖干太多的事情。第二，好的計劃要靈活一點。

好多人說這孩子不明智，但他深信他的夢想一定會實現。他十四歲的時候就到哥本哈根去闖天下。
在那里他去找了戲劇界的人士，但沒人向他伸出援助之手。很快他就沒有多少錢了。
有幾個人給他點錢去買點吃的，買點衣服，但這孩子把大部分錢用來買書，去看戲。 English: Andersen put his own experience into his fairy tales which he told the children of his friends. Because he had the genius of telling stories, so he told the stories vividly and the children liked to listen to him. After his first book of fairy tales was published, it was liked by children and their parents. It was very successful. The tales were full of everyday truth. Then his second book of fairy tales came out, later the third one. Altogether he produced 37 books.

后來，悉尼想了很多。他認識到他閱讀能力太差，并下決心要好好學。
在此后的六個月當中，他拿出盡可能多的時間進行閱讀。 English: Sidney Poitier was a famous American black actor and director. When he was eighteen, he wanted to become an actor, so he went to see a director and told him his wish. The director asked him to read a part of a character on the stage. Because there were many words he did not know, Sidney didn't read well. The director didn't regard this young man as an actor and let him get off the stage. Later Sidney thought a lot of things. He realized that his reading was too poor and he was determined to study well. During the following six months, he spent as much time as possible reading.

He never went outside but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission. He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second as he walked. He stopped and went back to look into the store. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat. She looked up and asked, “Can I help you?” She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen before and wanted to kiss her right there. He said, “Uh。
Yeah。 Umm。
I would like to buy a CD.” He picked one out and gave her money for it. “Would you like me to wrap it for you?” she asked, smiling her cute smile again. He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. He took it and walked out of the store. He went home and from then on, he went to that store every day and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out and he really wanted to but he couldn't. His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her. So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store as usual. He bought a CD like he did every day and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn't looking, he left his phone number on the desk and ran out。 RRRRRING!!! One day the phone rang, and the mother picked it up and said, “Hello?” It was the girl!!!

She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet. She was face to face with piles and piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all these CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one. Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of *****. The mother picked it up and started to read it. It said: Hi。 I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn. The mother was deeply moved and opened another CD。
Again there was a piece of *****. It said: Hi。 I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn. Love is。
