2. Damaging Research

A study by National Parent-Teacher Organization revealed that in the average American school, eighteen negatives are identified for every positive that is pointed out. The Wisconsin study revealed that when children enter the first grade, 80 percent of them feel pretty good themselves, but by the time they get to the sixth grade, only 10 percent of them have good self-images.

3. Education and Citizenship

An important aspect of education in the United States is the relationship between education and citizenship. Throughout its history this nation has emphasized public education as a means of transmitting democratic values, creating equality of opportunity, and preparing new generations of citizens to function in society. In addition, the schools have been expected to help shape society itself. During the 1950s, for example, efforts to combat racial segregation focused on the schools. Later, when the Soviet Union launched the first orbiting satellite, American schools and colleges came under intense pressure and were offered many incentives to improve their science and mathematics programs so that the nations would not fall behind the Soviet Union in scientific and technological capabilities.

Education is often viewed as a tool for solving social problems, especially social inequality. The schools, t is thought, can transform young people from vastly different backgrounds into competent, upwardly mobile adults. Yet these goals seem almost impossible to attain. In recent years, in fact, public education has been at the center of numerous controversies arising from the gap between the ideal and the reality. Part of the problem is that different groups in society have different have different expectations. Some feel that children should be taught basic job-related skills; still others believe education should not only prepare children to compete in society but also help them maintain their cultural identity (and, in the case of Hispanic children, their language). On the other hand, policymakers concerned with education emphasize the need to increase the level of student achievement and to improve parents in their children’s education.

Some reformers and critics have called attention to the need to link formal schooling with programs designed to address social problems. Sociologist Charles Moscos, for example, is a leader in the movement to expand programs like the Peace Corps, Vista, and Outward Bound into a system of voluntary national service. National service, as Moscos defines it, would entail “the full-time undertaking of public duties by young people whether as citizen soldiers or civilian servers-who are paid subsistence wages” and serve for at least one year. In return for this period of service, the volunteers would receive assistance in paying for college or other educational expenses.

Advocates of national service and school-to-work programs believe that education does not have to be confined to formal schooling. In devising strategies to provide opportunities for young people to serve their society, they emphasize the educational value of citizenship experiences gained outside the classroom. At this writing there is little indication that national service will become a new educational institution in the United States, although the concept is steadily gaining support among educators and social critics.

4. The Teacher’s Role

Given the undeniable importance of classroom experience, sociologists have done a considerable amount of research on what goes on in the classroom. Often they start from the premise that, along with the influence of peers, students’ experiences in the classroom are of central importance to their later development. One study examined the impact of a single first-grade teacher on her students’ subsequent adult status. The surprising results of this study have important implications. It is evident that good teachers can make a big difference in children’s lives, a fact that gives increased urgency to the need to improve the quality of primary-school teaching. The reforms carried out by educational leaders like James Comer suggest that when good teaching is combined with high levels of parental involvement the results can be even more dramatic.

Because the role of the teacher is to change the learner in some way, the teacher-student relationship is an important part of education. Sociologists have pointed out that this relationship is asymmetrical or unbalanced, with the teacher being in a position of authority and the student having little choice but to passively absorb the information provided by the teacher. In other words, in conventional classrooms there is little opportunity for the students to become actively involved in the learning process. On the other hand, students often develop strategies for undercutting the teacher’s authority: mentally withdrawing, interrupting, and the like. Hence, much current research assumes that students and teachers influence each other instead of assuming that the influence is always in a single direction.

5. Education Philosophy

For the past fifty years our schools have operated on the theories of John Dewey (1859-1953), an American educator and writer. Dewey believed hat the school’s job was to enhance the natural development of the growing child, rather than to pour information, for which the child had no context, into him or her. In the Dewey system, the child becomes the active agent in his own education, rather than a passive receptacle for facts.

Consequently, American schools are very enthusiastic about teaching “life skills” –logical thinking, analysis, creative problem--solving. The actual content of the lessons is secondary to the process, which is supposed to train the child to be able to handle whatever life may present, including all the unknowns of the future. Students and teachers both regard pure memorization as an uncreative and somewhat vulgar.

In addition to “life skills”, schools are assigned to solve the ever growing stoke of social problems. Racism, teenage pregnancy, alcoholism, drug use, reckless driving, and are just a few of the modern problems that have appeared on the school curriculum.

This all contributes to a high degree of social awareness in American youngsters.

6. Student Life

To the students, the most notable difference between elementary school and the higher levels is that in junior high they start “changing classes”. This means that rather than spending the day in one classroom, they switch classrooms to meet their different teachers. This gives them three or four minutes between classes in the hallways, where a great deal of the important social action of high school traditionally takes place. Students have lockers in these hallways, around which thy congregate.

Society in general does not take the business of studying very seriously. Schoolchildren have a great deal of free time, which they are encouraged to fill with extracurricular activities—sports, clubs, cheerleading, scouts—supposed to inculcate such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, ability to organize, etc. those who don’t become engaged in such activities or have afterschool jobs have plenty of opportunity to “hang out”, listen to teenager music, and watch television.

Compared to other nations, American students do not have much homework. Studies also show that American parents have lower expectations for their children’s success in school than other nationalities do. (Historically, there has not been much correlation between American school success and success in later life.) “He’s just not a scholar”, the American parents might say, content that their son is on the swim team and doesn’t take drugs. (Some of the young do choose to study hard, for reason of their own, such as determining that the road to riches lies through Harvard Business School.)

What American schools do effectively teach is the competitive method. In innumerable ways children are pitted against each other—whether in classroom discussion, spelling bees, reading groups, or tests. Every classroom is expected to produce a scattering of A’s and F’s (teachers often grade A=excellent; B=good; C=average; D=poor; and F=failed). A teacher who gives all A’s looks too soft—so students are aware that they are competing for the limited number of top marks.

Foreign students sometimes don’t understand that copying from other people’s papers or from books is considered wrong and taken seriously. Here, it is important to show that you have done your own work and are displaying your own knowledge. It is more important than helping your friends to pass, whom we think do not deserve to pass unless they can provide their own answers. Group effort goes against the competitive grain, and American students do not study together as many Asians do. Many Asians in this country consider their group study habits a large contributor to their school success.

7. Adult Education

After complaining about many aspects of American life, a 40-year-old woman from Hong Kong concluded, “But where else could someone my age go back to school and get a degree in social work? Here you can change your whole life, start a new business, do what you really want to do.”

So at least to this person, school requirements weren’t inhibiting. And to millions of others, adult education is the path to a new career, or if not to a new career, to a new outlook. Schools generally encourage the older person who wants to start anew, and besides regular classes, schedule evening classes in special programs. Today there are so many people of retirement age in college that it is no longer remarkable.

8. Moral Relativism in American

Improving American education requires not doing new things but doing (and remembering) some good old things. At the time of our nation’s founding, Thomas Jefferson listed the requirements for a sound education in the Report of the Commissioners for the University of Virginia. In this landmark statement on American education, Jefferson wrote of the importance of education and writing, and of reading history, and geography. But he also emphasized the need “to instruct the mass of our citizens in these, their rights, interests, and duties, as men and citizens.” Jefferson believed education should aim at the improvement of both one’s “morals” and “faculties”. That has been the dominant view of the aims of American education for over two centuries. But a number of changes, most of them unsound, have diverted schools from these great pursuits. And the story of the loss of the school’s original moral mission explains a great deal.

Starting in the early seventies, “values clarification” programs started turning up in schools all over America. According to this philosophy, the schools were not to take part in their time-honored task of transmitting sound moral values; rather, they were to allow the child to “clarify” his own values (which adults, including parents, had no “rights” to criticize). The “values clarification” movement didn’t clarify values; it clarified wants and desires. This form of moral relativism said, in effect, that no set of values was right or wrong; everybody had an equal right to his own values; and all values were subjective, relative, and personal. This destructive view took hold with a vengeance.

In 1985 The York Times published an article quoting New York area educators, in slavish devotion to this new view, proclaiming, “They deliberately avoid trying to tell students what is ethically right and wrong.” The article told of one counseling session involving fifteen high school juniors and seniors. In the course of that session a student concluded that a fellow student had been foolish to return one thousand dollars she found in a purse at school. According to the article, when the youngsters asked the counselor’s opinion, “He told them he believed the girl had done the right thing, but that, of course, he would not try to force his values on them. ‘If I come from the position of what is wrong,’ he explained, ‘then I’m not their counselor.’”

Once upon a time, a counselor offered counselor, and he knew that an adult does not form character in the young by taking a stance of neutrality toward questions of right and wrong or by merely offering “choices” or “options”.

In response to the belief that adults and educators should teach children sound morals, one can expect from some quarters indignant objections (I’ve heard one version of it expressed countless times over the years): “Who are you to say what’s important?” or “Whose standards and judgments do we use?”

The correct response, it seems to me, is, is we ready to do away with standards and judgments? Is anyone going to argue seriously that a life of cheating and swindling is as worthy as a life of honest, hard work? Is anyone (with the exception of some literature professors at our elite universities) going to argue seriously the intellectual corollary, that a Marvel comic book is as good as Macbeth? Unless we are willing to embrace some pretty silly position, we’ve got to admit the need for moral and intellectual standards. The problem is that some people tend to regard anyone who would pronounce a definitive judgment as an unsophisticated Philistine or a closed-minded “elitist” trying to impose his view on everybody else.

The truth of the real world is that without standards and judgments, there can be no progress. Unless we are prepared to say irrational things—that nothing can be proven more valuable than anything else or that everything is equally worthless—we must ask the normative question. It may come, as a surprise to those who fell that to be “progressive” is to be value-neutral. But as Matthew Amold said, “the world is forwarded by having its attention fixed on the best things” and if the world can’t decide what the best things are, at least to some degree, then it follows that progress, and character, is in trouble. We shouldn’t be reluctant to declare that some things, some lives, books, ideas, and values are better than others. It is the responsibility of the schools to teach these better things.

At one time, we weren’t so reluctant to teach them. In the mid-nineteenth century, a diverse, widespread group of crusaders began to work for the public support of what was then called the “common school”, the forerunner of the public school. They were to be charged with the mission of school felt that the nation could fulfill its destiny only if every new generation was taught these values together in a common institution.

The leaders of the common school movement were mainly citizens who were prominent in their communities—businessmen, ministers, local civic and government officials. These people saw the schools as upholders of standards of individual morality and small incubators of civic and personal virtue; the founders of the public schools had faith that public education could teach good moral and civic character from a common ground of American values.

But in the past quarter century or so, some of the so-called experts became experts of value neutrality, and moral education was increasingly left in their hands. The commonsense view of parents and the publicthat schools should reinforce rather than undermine the values of home, family, and country, was increasingly rejected.

There are those today still that claim we are now too diverse a nation, that we consist of too many competing convictions and interests to instill common values. They are wrong. Of course we are a diverse people. We have always been a diverse people. And as Madison wrote in FederalistNo.10, the competing, balancing interests of a diverse people can help ensure the survival of liberty. But there are values that all American citizens share and that we should want all American students to know and to make their own: honesty, fairness, self-discipline, fidelity to task, friends, and family, personal responsibility, love of country, and belief in the principles of liberty, equality, and the freedom to practice one’s faith. The explicit teaching of these values is the legacy of the common schools, and it is a legacy to which we must return.

9. Schools Should Teach Values

People often said, “Yes, we should teach these values, but how do we teach them?” this question deserves a candid response, one that isn’t given often enough. It is by exposing our children to good character and inviting its imitation that we will transmit to them a moral foundation. This happens when teachers and principals, by their words and actions, embody sound convictions. As Oxford’s Mary Warnock has written, “You cannot teach morality without being committed to morality yourself; and you cannot be committed to morality yourself without holding that some things are right and others wrong.” The theologian Martin Buber wrote that the educator is distinguished from all other influences “by his will to take part in the stamping of character and by his consciousness that he represents in the eyes of the growing person a certain selection of what is, the selection of what is ‘right’, of what should be.” It is in this will, Buber says, in this clear standing for something, that the “vocation as an educator finds its fundamental expression.”

There is no escaping the fact that young people need as example principals and teachers who know the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, and who themselves exemplify high moral purpose.

As Education Secretary, I visited a class at Waterbury Elementary School in Waterbury, Vermont, and asked the students, “Is this a good school?” They answered, “Yes, this is a good school.” I asked them, “Why?” Among other things, one eight-year-old said, “The principal Mr. Riegel, makes good rules and everybody obeys them.” So I said, “Give me an example.” And another answered, “You can’t climb on the pipes in the bathroom. We don’t climb on the pipes and the principal doesn’t either.”

This example is probably too simple to please a lot of people who want to make the topic of moral education difficult, but there is something profound in the answer of those children, something education should pay more attention to. You can’t expect children to take messages about rules or morality seriously unless they see adults taking those rules seriously in their day-to-day affairs. Certain must be said, certain limits lay down, and certain examples set. There is no other way.

We should also do a better job at curriculum selection. The research shows that most “values education” exercises and separate courses in “moral reasoning” tend not to affect children’s behavior; if anything, they may leave children morally adrift. Where to turn? I believe our literature and our history are a rich quarry of moral literacy. We should mine that quarry. Children should have at their disposal a stock of examples illustrating what we believe to be right and wrong, good and bad—examples illustrating what are morally right and wrong can indeed be known and that there is a difference.

What kind of stories, historical events, and famous lives am I talking about? If we want our children to know about honesty, we should teach them about Abe Lincoln walking three miles to return six cents and conversely, about Aesop’s shepherd boy who cried wolf if we want them to know about courage, we should teach them about Joan of Arc, Horatius at the bridge, and Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. If we want them to know about persistence in the face of adversity, they should know about the voyages of Columbus and the character of Washington during the Civil War. And our youngest should be told about the Little Engine That Could. If we want them to know about respect for the law, they should understand why Socrates told Crito: “No, I must submit to the decree of Athens.” If we want our children to respect the rights of others, they should read the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the Gettysburg Address, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’ “Letter from Birmingham jail.” From the Bible they should know about Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi, Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers, Jonathan’s friendship with David, the Good Samaritan’s kindness toward a stranger, and David’s cleverness and courage in facing Goliath.

These are only a few of the hundreds of examples we can call on. And we need not get into issues like nuclear war, abortion, creationism, or euthanasia. This may come as a disappointment to some people, but the fact is that the formation of character in young people is educationally a task different from, and prior to, the discussion of the great, difficult controversies of the day. First things come first. We should teach values the same way we teach other things: one step at a time. We should not use the fact that there are many difficult and controversial moral questions as an argument against basic instruction in the subject.

After all, we do not argue against teaching physics because laser physics is difficult, against teaching American history because there are heated disputes about the Founders’ intent. Every field has its complexities and its controversies. And every field has its basics, its fundamentals. So they are too with forming character and achieving moral literacy. As any parent knows, teaching character is a difficult task. But it is a crucial task, because we want our children to be healthy, happy, and successful but decent, strong, and good. None of this happens automatically; there is no genetic transmission of virtue. It takes the conscious, committed efforts of adults. It takes careful attention.

10. College Pressures

Mainly I try to remind that the road ahead is a long one and that it will have more unexpected turns than they think. There will be plenty of time to change jobs, change careers, change whole attitudes and approaches. They don not want to hear such liberating news. They want a map—right now – that they can follow unswervingly to career security, financial security, Social Security and, presumably, a prepaid grave.

What I wish for all students is some release from the clammy grip of the future. I wish them a chance to savor each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a grim preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as instructive as victory and is not the end of the world.

My wish, of course, is na?ve. One of the national gods venerated in our media—the million-dollar athlete, the wealthy executive—and glorified in our praise of possessions. In the presence of such a potent state religion, the young are growing up old.

I see four kinds of pressure working on college students today: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. It is easy to look around for villains—to blame the colleges for charging too much money, the professors for assigning too much work, the parents for pushing their children too far, and the students for driving themselves too hard. But there are no villains: only victims.

“In the late 1960s.” one dean told me. “The typical question that I got from students was ‘Why is there so much suffering in the world’ or ‘how I can make a contribution?’ Today it’s ‘Do you think it would look better for getting into law school if I did a double major in history and political science, or just majored in one of them?’” many other deans confirmed this pattern. One said: “They are trying to find an edge—the intangible something that will look better on paper if two students are about equal.”

Note the emphasis on looking better. The transcript has become a sacred document, the passport to security. How one appears on paper is more important than how one appears in person. A is for Admirable and B is for Borderline, even though, in Yale’s official system of grading, A means “excellent” and B means “very good.” Today, looking very good is no longer good enough, especially for students who hope to go on to law school or medical school. They know that entrance into the better schools will be an entrance into the better law firms and better medical practices where they will make a lot of money. They also know that the odds are harsh. Yale Law School, for instance, matriculates 170students from an applicant pool of 3,700; Harvard enrolls 550 from a pool of 7,000.

It’s all very well for those of us who write letters of recommendation for our students to stress the qualities of humanity that will make them good lawyers or doctors. And it’s nice to think that admission officers are ready reading our letters and looking for the extra dimension of commitment or concern. Still, it would be hard for a student not to visualize these officers shuffling so many transcripts studded with As that they regard a B as positively shameful.

The pressure is almost as heavy on students who just want to graduate and get a job. Long gone are the days of the “gentleman’s C.” when students journeyed through college with a certain relaxation, sampling a wide variety of courses-music, art, philosophy, classics, anthropology, poetry, religion—that would send them out as liberally educated men and women. If I were an employer I would rather employ graduates who have this range and curiosity than those who narrowly pursued safe subjects and high grades. I know countless students whose inquiring minds exhilarate me. I like to hear the play of their ideas. I do not know if they are getting As or Cs, and I do not care. I also like them as people. The country needs them, and they will find satisfying jobs. I tell them to relax. They cannot.

Nor can I blame them. They live in a brutal economy. Tuition, room, and board at most private colleges now come to at least $7,000, not counting books and fees. This might seem to suggest that the colleges are getting rich. But they are equally battered by inflation. Tuition covers only 60 percent of what it costs to educate a student, and ordinarily the remainder comes from what college receives in endowments, grants, and gifts. Now, the remainder keeps being swallowed by the cruel costs—higher every year—of just opening the doors. Heating oil is up. Insurance is up. Postage is up. Health-premium costs are up. Everything is up. Deficits are up. We are witnessing in American the creation of a brotherhood of paupers—colleges, parents, and students, joined by the common bond of debt.

Today it is not unusual for a student, even if he works part time at college and full time during the summer, to accrue $5,000 in loans after four years—loans that he must start to repay within one year after graduation. Exhorted at commencement to go forth into the world, he is already behind as he goes forth. How could he not feel under pressure throughout college to prepare for this day of reckoning? I have used “he,” incidentally, only for brevity. Women at Yale are under no less pressure to justify their expensive education to themselves, their parents, and society. In fact, they are probably under more pressure. For although they leave college superbly equipped to bring fresh leadership to traditionally male jobs, society has not yet caught up with this fact.

Along with economic pressure goes parental pressure. Inevitably, the two are deeply intertwined.

I see many students taking pre-medical courses with joyless tenacity. They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. It saddens me because I know tem in other corners of their life as cheerful people.

“Do you want to medical school?” I asked them.

“I guess so,” they say, without conviction, or “Not really.”

“Then why are you going?”

“Well, my parents want me to be a doctor. They are paying all this money and …”

Poor students, poor parents, they are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt. The parents mean will; they are trying to steer their sons and draughts toward a secure future. But the sons and daughter want to major in history or classics or philosophy—subjects with no “practical” value. Where’s the payoff on the humanities? It’s not easy to persuade such loving parents that the humanities do indeed pay off. The intellectual faculties developed by studying subjects like history and classics—an ability to synthesize and relate, to weigh cause and effect, to see events in perspective—are just the faculties that make creative leaders in business or almost any general field. Still, many fathers would rather put their money on courses that point toward specific profession—courses that are pre-law, pre-medical, pre-business, or, as I sometimes heard it put, “pre-rich.”

But the pressure on students is severe. They are truly torn. One part of them feels obliged to fulfill their parents’ expectations; after all, their parents are older and presumably wiser. Another part tells them that the expectations that are right for their parents are not right for them.

I know a student who wants to be an artist. She is very obviously an artist and will be a good one—she has already had several modest local exhibits. Meanwhile she is growing as a well-round person and taking humanistic subjects that will enrich the inner resources out of which her art will grow. But her father is strongly opposed. He thinks that an artist is a “dumb” thing to be. The student vacillates and tries to please everybody. She keeps up with her art somewhat furtively and takes some of the “dumb” courses her father wants her to take—at least they are dumb courses for her. She is a free spirit on a campus of tense students—no small achievement in it—and she deserves to follow her muse.

Peer pressure and self-induced pressure are also intertwined, and they begin almost at the beginning of freshman year.

“I had a freshman student I’ll call Linda,” one dean told me, “who came in and said she was under terrible pressure because her roommate, Barbara, was much brighter and studied all the time. I could not tell her that Barbara had come in two hours earlier to say the same thing about Linda.”

The story is almost funny—except that it is not. It is symptomatic of all the pressure put together. When every student thinks every other student is working harder and doing better, the only solution is to study harder still. I see students going off to the library every night after dinner and coming back when it closes at midnight. I wish they would sometimes forget about their peers and go to a movie. I hear the clacking of typewriters in the hours before dawn. I see the tension in their eyes when exams are approaching and papers are due: “Will I get everything done?”

Probably they won’t. They will get blocked. They will sleep. They will oversleep. They will bug out.

Part of the problem is that they are expected to do. A professor will assign five page papers. Several students will start writing ten page papers to impress him. Then more students will write ten page papers, and a few will raise the ante to fifteen. Pity the poor student who is still just doing the assignment.

“Once you have twenty or thirty percent of the student population deliberately overexerting,” one dean points out, “It’s bad for everybody. When a teacher gets more and more effort from his class, the student who is doing normal work can be perceived as not doing well. The tactic work, psychologically.”

Why cannot the professor just cut back and not accept longer papers? He can, and he probably will. But by then the term will be half over and the damage done. Grade fever is highly contagious and not easily reversed. Besides, the professor’s main concern is with his course. He knows his students only in relation to the course and does not know that they are also overexerting in their other courses. Nor is it really his business. He did not sign up for dealing with the student as a whole person and with all the emotional baggage the student brought along from home. That’s what deans, masters, chaplains, and psychiatrists are for.

To some extent this is nothing new: a certain number of professors have always been self-contained islands of scholarship and shyness, more comfortable with books than with people. But the new pauperism has widened the gap still further, for professors who actually like to spend time with students do not have as much time to spend. They are also overexerting. If they are young, they are busy trying to publish in order not to perish, hanging by their figure nails onto a shrinking profession.

If they are old and tenured, they are buried under the duties of administering departments—as departmental chairmen or members of committees—that have been thinned out by the budgetary axe.

Ultimately it will be the students’ own business to break the circles in which they are trapped. They are too young to be prisoners of their parents’ dreams and their classmates’ fears. They must be jolted into believing into themselves as unique men and women who have the power to shape their own future.

“Violence is being done to the undergraduate experience,” says Carlos Hortas. “College should be open-ended: at the end it should open many, many roads. Instead, students are choosing their goal in advance, and their choices narrow as they go along. It’s almost as if they think that the country has been codified in the type of jobs that exist-that they’ve got to fit into certain slots. Therefore, fit into the best paying slot.”

“They ought to take chances. Not taking chances will lead to life of colorless mediocrity. They’ll be comfortable. But something in the spirit will be missing.”

I have painted too drab a portrait of today’s students, making them seem a solemn lot. That is only half of their story; if they were so dreary I wouldn’t so thoroughly enjoy their company. The other half is that they are easy to like. They are quick to laugh and to offer friendship. They are not introverts. They are usually kind and are more considerate of one another than any student generation I have known.

Nor are they so obsessed with their studies that they avoid sports and extracurricular activities. On the contrary, they juggle their crowded hours to play on a variety of teams, perform with musical and dramatic groups, and write for campus publications. But this in turn is one more cause of anxiety. There are too many choices. Academically, they have 1,300 courses to select from; outside class they have to decide how much spare time they can spare and how to spend it.

This means that they engage in fewer extracurricular pursuits than their predecessors did. If they want to row on the crew and play in the symphony they will eliminate one; in the ‘60s they would have done both. They also tend to choose activities that are self-limiting. Drama, for instance, is flourishing in all twelve of Yale’s residential colleges, as it never has before. Students hurl themselves into these productions—as actors, directors, carpenters, and technicians—with a dedication to create the best possible play, knowing that the day will come when the run will end and they can get back to their studies.

They also cannot afford to be the willing slave of organizations like the Yale Daily News. Last spring at the one-hundredth anniversary banquet of that paper—who’s past chairmen include such once and future kings as Potter Stewart, Kingman Brewster, and William F. Buckley, Jr.—much was made of the fact that the editorial staff used to be small and totally committed and that “newsies” routinely worked fifty hours a week. In effect they belonged to a club; Newsies is how they defined themselves at Yale. Today’s students will one or two articles a week, when he can, and he defines himself as a student. I’ve never heard the word Newsie except at the banquet.

If I have described the modern undergraduate primarily as a driven creature who is largely ignoring the blithe spirit inside who keeps trying to come out and play, it’s because that’s where the crunch is, not only at Yale but throughout American education. It’s why I think we should all be worried about the values that are nurturing a generation so fearful of risk and so goal-obsessed at such an early age.

I tell students that there is no one “right” way to get ahead—that each of them is a different person, starting from a different point and bound for a different destination. I tell neither them that change is a tonic and that all the slots are not codified nor the frontiers closed. One of my ways of telling them is to invite men and women who have achieved success outside the academic world to come and talk informally with my students during the year. They are heads of companies or ad agencies, editors of magazines, politicians, public officials, television magnates, labor leaders, business executives, Broadway products, artists, writers, economists, photographers, scientists, historians—a mixed bag of achievers.

I asked them to say a few words about how they got started. The students assume that they started in their present profession and knew all along that it was what they wanted to do. Luckily for me, most of them got into their field by a circuitous route, to their surprise, after many detours. The students are startled. They can hardly conceive of a career that was not pre-planned. They can hardly imagine allowing the hand of God or chance to nudge them down some unforeseen trail.

11. To Err Is Wrong

In the summer of 1979, Boston Red Sox first baseman Carl Yastrzemski became the fifteenth player in baseball history to reach the three thousand hit plateaus. This event drew a lot of media attention, and for about a week prior to the attainment of this goal, hundreds of reports covered Yaz’s every more. Finally, one reporter asked, “Hey Yaz, aren’t you afraid all of this attention will go to your head?” Yastrzemski replied, “I look at this way: in my career I’ve been up to bat over ten thousand times. That means I’ve been unsuccessful at the plate over seven thousand times. That fact alone keeps me from getting a swollen head.”?

Most people consider success and failure as opposites, but they are actually both products of the same process. As Yaz suggest, an activity that produces a hit may also produce a miss. It is the same with creative thinking; the same energy that generates good creative ideas also produces errors.

Many people, however, are not comfortable with errors. Our educational system, based on “the right answer” belief, cultivates our thinking in another, more conservative way. From an early age, we are taught that right answers are good and incorrect answers are bad. This value is deeply embedded in the incentive system used in most schools:

Right over 90% of the time = “A”

Right over 80% of the time = “B~”

Right over 70% of the time = “C~” Right over 60% of the time = “D~” Less than 60% correct, you fail.

From this we learn to be right as often as possible and to keep our mistakes to a minimum. We learn, in other words, that “to err is wrong.

Playing It Safe

With this kind of attitude, you aren’t going to be taking too many chances. If you learn that failing even a litter penalizes you (e.g., being wrong only 15% of the time garners you only a “B” performance), you learn not to make mistakes. And more important, you learn not to put yourself to situation where you might fall. This leads to conservative thought pattern designed to avoid the stigma our society puts on “failure”.

I have a friend who recently graduated from college with a Master’s degree in Journalism. For the last six month, she has been trying to find a job, but to no avail. I talked with her about situation, and realized that her problem is that she doesn’t know how to fail. She went through eighteen years of schooling to try any approaches where she might fail. She has been conditioned to believe that failure is bad in and of itself, rather than a potential stepping-stone to new ideas.

Look around. How many middle managers, housewives, administrators, teachers, and other people do you see who are to try anything new because of this failure? Most of us have learned not to make mistakes in public. As a result, we remove ourselves from many learning experience except for those occurring in the most private of circumstances.

Different Logic

From a practical point of view, “to err is wrong” makes sense. Our survival in the everyday world requires us to perform thousand of small tasks without failure. Think about it: you wouldn’t last very long if you were to step out in front of traffic or stick your hand a pot of boiling water. In addition, engineers whose bridges collapse, stock brokers who lose money for their clients, and copywriters whose ad campaigns decrease sales won’t keep their jobs very long.

Nevertheless, too great an adherence to the belief “to err is wrong” can greatly undermine your attempts to generate new ideas. If you are more concerned with producing right answers than generating original ideas, you’ll probably make uncritical use of the rules, formulae, and procedures used to obtain these right answers. By doing this, you’ll by-pass the germinal phase of the creative process, and thus spend litter time testing assumptions, challenging the rules, asking what-if questions, or just playing around with the problem. All of these techniques will produce some incorrect answers, but in the germinal phase errors are viewed as a necessary by-product of creative thinking. As Yaz would put it, “if you want the hits, be prepared for the misses.” That’s the way the game of life goes.

Errors as Stepping Stones

Whenever an error pops up, the usual response is “Jeez, another screw up, what went wrong this time?” the creative thinker, on the other hand, will realize the potential value of errors, and perhaps say something like, “Would you look at that! Where can it lead our thinking?” and then he or she will go on to use the error as a stepping stone to a new idea. As a matter of fact, the whole history of discovery is filed with people who used erroneous assumptions and failed ideas as stepping-stones to new ideas. Columbus thought he was finding a shorter route to India. Johannes Kepler stumbled on to the idea of interplanetary gravity because of assumptions that were right for the wrong reasons. And, Thomas Edison knew 1800 ways not to build a light bulb.

The following story about the automotive genius Charles Kettering exemplifies the spirit of working through erroneous assumptions to good ideas. In 1912, when the automobile industry was just beginning to grow, Kettering was interested in improving gasoline engine efficiency. The problem he faced was“knockthe phenomenon in which gasoline takes too long to burn in the cylinder-thereby reducing efficiency.

Kettering began searching for ways to eliminate the “knock.” He thought to him, “How can I get the gasoline to combust in the cylinder at an earlier time?” the key concept here is “early”. Searching for analogous situations, he looked around for models of “things that happen early.” He thought of historical models, physical models, and biological models. Finally, he remembered a particular plant, the trailing arbutus, which “happens early,” i.e., it blooms in the snow (“earlier” than other plants). One of this plant’s chief characteristics is its’ red leaves, which help the plant retain light at certain wavelengths. Kettering figured that it must be the red color, which made the trailing arbutus bloom earlier.

Now came the critical step in Kettering’s chain of thought. He asked himself, “How can I make the gasoline red?” perhaps I’ll put red dye in the gasoline—maybe that’ll make it combust earlier.” He looked around his workshop, and found that he didn’t have any red dye. But he did happen to have some iodine—perhaps that would do. He added the iodine to the gasoline and, lo and behold, the engine didn’t “knock”.

导语：人的一生能有一个懂你的人，无论是男是女，那就是你人生最大的幸福!下面小编为大家提供一些关于人生感悟的美文，请大家仔细阅读!

【懂你的人， 一生难求】

人的一生能有一个懂你的人，无论是男是女，那就是你人生最大的幸福!这个人不一定十全十美，或许没有年龄的界限;但他能读懂你，能走进你心灵深处，能看到你心里的一切;你在他面前就是个透明体，他知道你在想什么，知道你喜欢什么，爱什么，知道你需要什么;他让你感到非常亲近，和他在一起你会感到轻松快乐。没有顾虑，和他在一起你会感到很安全，于是你就认为他是十全十美的，因为他懂你，就是因为他懂你，在乎你。

当你遇到挫折时，他不会说一句伤害你的话。他会非常心疼的安慰你!告诉你发生的一切都不算什么，告诉你，你行的，于是你学会了坚强，勇敢的走出逆境。

当你心情不好时，他会耐心的安慰你，用尽幽默的语言你开心!让你高兴!当你难得见面的时候，他会给你发信息，打电话，不会让你寂寞，告诉你注意身体!注意安全!给你发幽默的信息，逗你高兴!祝福时刻跟随着你，让你感觉不到距离的遥远，让心灵彼此相通。

懂你的人，是理解你的人，是体谅你的人，对你有爱心的人。

一生能遇到一个懂你的人，很难，这也需要缘分，但要是遇到了，彼此一定要珍惜!最懂你的人，他的心总是会一直的在你身边，默默地牵挂和守护着你，尽力不让你受一点点的委屈，懂你的人对你的爱是默默的爱!是发自肺腑的真爱!真正懂你的人，不会说许多欺骗你的漂亮话，却会做许多关心和关爱你的事。只有一个真正懂你的人，才会和你尽情分享你们开心的时光和爱的快乐!

珍惜那个懂你的人

【有些话，藏在心里;有些痛，无声的忘记!】

慢慢地都淡了;渐渐地都忘了。世上事就是这样，好多熟悉的人，你不去呵护，慢慢就淡了，许多熟悉的事，你不去回味，渐渐就忘了。岁月的风，不仅能吹淡你我心中的情，也能冷却你我的心;时光的手，不仅能模糊你眼中的我，也能淡忘我心中的你。有些人注定成为故人，有些路注定要一个人走。一些人，一些事，闯进生活，得到了，失去的，昨天的悲伤，今天的快乐，喜怒哀乐都要记得。当一切都变成回忆，在我们记忆中又会留下什么?再熟悉的路，你不行走，也有陌生的感受…这就是人生。关键一刻，有人牵着，去哪里都可以;有人回应着，说什么也可以;无须匆忙，该来的总会来。没有谁能一手遮天，可以属于自己的，不要轻易放手;不该属于自己的，要学会舍得放开。死拽着别人的，不去追求自己的，是一种莫大悲哀。有些话，适合藏在心里，有些痛苦，适合无声无息的忘记，有些回忆，只适合偶尔拿出来回味。很多事情，当经历过，自己知道就好，很多改变，不需要说出来的，自己明白就好。所有的日子，都会到来，所有的日子，又都会过去，一切仿佛发生了，又仿佛一切没有发生。我们最孤独的，不是缺少知己，一直以为幸福在远方，在可以追逐的未来。后来才发现，那些拥抱过的人、握过的手、唱过的歌、流过的泪、爱过的人、所谓曾经，就是幸福。人生，既要淡，又要有味。不管过去发生过什么，我没办法改变周围的客观存在，但我可以改变自己的心态。因为真正属于自己的快乐或忧伤，是由自己创造的，而不是其他客观存在影响的。所以，我的世界掌握在自己的手中。人生岁月里，他们给过温暖，给过爱意，不在乎，会失去。太在乎，又会受伤。如果没有十足的把握，试着将一个人，铭记心上。如果没有肯定的缘份，试着将一段爱，藏在心底。有些人离开就是离开了，渐渐地，要替别人着想，但为自己而活。最好的东西，往往是意料之外，偶然得来的。世界上最痛苦的事就是笑脸相迎你最讨厌的人。与其在别人的生活里跑龙套，不如精彩做自己。

心小了，小事就大了;心大了，大事都小了。只有随着自己的心，做最真实的自己，才是最好的。尘世间惺惺相惜。过去的，都让他随风消逝，未来的，都让他自然而然。现在的都让他珍惜拥有。如此这般，只有懂得珍惜，才配得上拥有。只有做到宁静致远，才能看破心结。只有知足感恩，才能笑对人生。有些事，我总是弄不懂;有些人，我总是猜不透;有些道，我总是悟不尽;有些理，我总是想不通;有些坎，我们总是跨不过;有些伤，我总是治不好;有些天，我总是睡不着;有些地，我们总是去不了;有些情，我总是说不出;有些爱，我总是得不到。哎!看透嘞，烦了，与其为失去的哭泣，不如为留在身边的一切微笑。不能把自己看得太重，委屈了，无奈了，想哭了!!!

以前总认为坚持会让我们变强大，但是长大后才发现，让我们强大的，是放下。真正的朋友就是，当你蒙蔽了所有人的眼睛，也能看穿你真实的样子和心底的痛楚。不乱于心，不困于情。不畏将来，不念过往。如此，安好。最先原谅的人最坚强;最先道歉的人最勇敢;最先释怀的人最幸福。人的一生需要走走、停停、看看、想想，没有反思的人生，只是一次没有意义的旅行，来了也白来。我们从地狱到天堂路过人间，不要太在乎结果，老天自有安排，好好享受过程吧!不要总是估量自己在别人心中的地位，去走自己的路，去做最好的自己。

每个人的心里都潜藏着一条悲伤的河流。你有你的疼痛，我有我的艰辛，并非不懂，只是不愿一遍又一遍的去揭自己的伤疤!

生命中，总有些人，安然而来，静静守候，不离不弃;也有些人，浓烈如酒，疯狂似醉，却是醒来无处觅，来去都如风，梦过无痕。缘深缘浅，如此这般：无数的相遇，无数的别离，伤感良多，或许不舍，或许期待，或许无奈，终得悟，不如守拙以清心，淡然而浅笑。看花开花落、云卷云舒、缘来缘去。

这个世界，对你微笑的人很多。而真心包容你的，太少。试着做个个性坚强的人!

Last week I saw a young man giving up his seat to a woman with a baby in her arms on a bus. To my great surprise, the woman did not thank the young man; on the contrary, she glared at him coldly, which made him embarrassed.

This incident set me thinking. If everyone acted like that woman, who would like to help others? And what would our society be like?

If anyone gives you a hand, you should express your sincere gratitude to him or her. Only in this way will everyone be ready to help others and feel satisfied with it.

【参考译文】

上周，我在公共汽车上看到一个年轻人给一个怀抱婴儿的妇女让座。让我感到奇怪的是，这位妇女没有感谢这位年轻人，反而用冷淡的目光盯着他，使他感到困窘。

这事令我深思。如果每个人都像那个妇女那样，谁还愿意帮助别人?我们这个社会将会变成什么样子?

如果有人帮了你，你应表示衷心感谢。只有这样，大家才会愿意帮助别人，并从中得到满足。

英文写作是一种综合能力训练，临阵磨枪是不能取得好成绩的，也是不可取的，应该重视平时的英语作文训练。下面是小编帮大家整理的英语写作教学方法，希望大家喜欢。

高考英语作文占25分，有着不可忽视的比重，它足可以说明写作教学在高中英语教学中占有相当重要的位置。然而高考现状却不乐观，部分学生由于平时缺乏足够的训练，所以对英语写作要么感到无从下手，充满畏难情绪，胡乱写些英语单词或不着边际的句子充当字数，权作心理慰藉；要么用词不当，构句无章，错误频出，行文不流畅，表达不地道，无写作质量可言。如何提高学生的写作水平和促进写作教学呢？笔者认为应注意下列几个问题：

一、注重写作教学的基本训练阶段

语言教学最高层次是应用。英语属于结构语言，它有自己的基本句型、固定搭配、固定短语等，这些都是不可变的，要想在写作中用上它们，用好它们，必须加强这方面的基本训练。首先，加强五种基本句型结构教学。几乎所有的英语句型都是五种句型的扩大、延伸或变化，因此训练学生“写”就要抓住五种基本句型的训练，让他们把这五种基本句型记牢，不断运用。五种基本句型是：

(1)S＋V；

(2)S＋V＋O；

(3)S＋V＋O＋O；

(4)S＋V＋P；

(5)S＋V＋O＋C。

五种基本句型虽然能表达一定的意思，但无法比较自由地表达思想，因此还必须对学生进一步进行扩句训练，在课堂上充分发挥学生的想像力，进行扩句练习。其次，加强句型教学，要对一些句子进行分析，增强他们利用各种句子进行一意多种表达的训练。再次，充分利用新教材中“巩固语言的练习，”对学生进行基本语感的训练。

二、注重写作训练的多样化

听、说、读、写四种技能是相互依赖的，说的能力有赖于听的能力，进而有助于写作。听是理解和吸收口头信息的手段。听和读是输入，只有达到足够的输入量，才能保证学生具有较好的说和写的输出能力。因此，在日常的教学中要注重写作训练的多样化。

首先，在Dialogue的教学中，除了听录音、对话、表演和编写相似的对话外，还要求学生把对话改写成一段短文，这样就要求学生在变成短文的过程中，注意时态、语态、人称和前后的逻辑关系，从而为写作打下基础。

其次，在Reading教学中，回答问题时要求学生必须用自己的语言，且人称、时态要做相应的变化，这样既能搞懂本意，又能用同义句表达，提高了表达能力。还要让学生用课文中的词组进行复述，学生复述课文不是件容易的事，既要把握课文中的重点，逻辑关系，又要用自己的语言把主要内容表达出来。这样既锻炼了他们组织篇章结构、句子与句子之间逻辑关系的能力，又提高了语言的精炼度，使自己的写作能力有了很快地提高。

再次，在“Listening”教学中，除了让学生听懂做完听力练习之外，还让他们把练习作为guide进行复述听力材料，有时还让他们写在作文本上。

三、注重写作训练的规范化

高中起始阶段的写作训练，培养学生的写作模式是非常重要的。我按教师用书上说明的写作步骤，即：①构思(讨论题目)；②写提纲(理顺思想的逻辑关系)；③起草(打草稿)；④校订(检查错误，重新安排内容)；⑤修改(定稿)。对学生进行写作模式的训练。这样看起来比较麻烦，但避免了反复，养成了好的写作习惯。再就是书写和文体格式要规范。严格要求学生正确、端正、熟练地书写字母、单词和句子，注意大小写和标点符号，养成良好的书写习惯。。同时对各种文体特点、格式要讲清楚，使学生熟悉规范的书面表达形式，用正确的标准评析和规范自己的书面表达。

四、注重教师的指导作用

教师批改是写作教学的有机组成部分，批改过程中，教师的指导作用就在于肯定学生的成绩，指出错误，给学生以恰当的评价。但在批改过程中，如果抓住学生的错误不放，有错必纠，改到最后，就变成了教师自己的作品；如果对错误视而不见，写得再多也收效甚微。我根据教学实践，对于新教材中的“有指导的写”的写作训练，规定学生限时写完，同桌、前后桌互相批改，重新行文，再上交。这样批改起来就非常轻松，而且典型错误，很容易找出，有利于讲评。对于新教材中的“自由写作”训练，我指导学生弄清主题，抓住要点，组词造句，安排好顺序，过渡到段落形成短文，多用熟悉的单词和句型，多用五种基本句型表达。然后让学生共同研究，互相评论写好的草稿，以便最后写出修改的稿子来，这就有助于减轻教师修改作业的负担，也有利于学生写作水平的提高。

总之，英文写作是一个学生综合能力的书面体现，是一个长期复杂的训练过程。因此，培养学生的写作能力不能一蹴而就，而要在平时从学生的实际水平出发，有目的、有计划、有要求、有检查、有反馈地进行，由易到难，循序渐进。只有这样，到高考时才能做到厚积薄发、思如泉涌、下笔如有神。

在整一张语文卷当中，作文占的比例分数是最高的，下面是小编为大家整理的高考满分作文的写作方法，希望能帮到您！

第一：全

全即文章的结合呼应，给人完整感。阅卷人的心理，对文章的开头、中间、结尾很看重，特别是结尾的结构呼应或者主题升华的语言等等。

第二：亮

亮就是试卷上的亮点。亮点是多方面的，字迹端正、卷面整洁是其中第一要着。文章无错别字，没有明显的病句，没有明显的涂改痕迹，行款漂亮等等，都会让阅卷老师一翻到试卷就精神大振，产生好感，不忍心打低分。

第三：显

由于时间关系，高考阅卷老师不能细细揣摩文章，也不能明晓考生的作文功底，考生要特别讲究一个“显”字。

首先，文章的主旨要明了，平时作文，有学生喜欢写些含蓄的文字，以求文学的含蓄美，也得到了老师的青睐，甚至发表了不少的文章，但是高考场上不能这样做，太含蓄了，就会使文章走进隐讳的死胡同，短时间内难以让人读懂，就很容易被阅卷老师误认为离题打入冷宫。

其次，文章的分论点最好用分段的方式明确摆出，开头、中间、结尾都要顾及体现自己中心思想的语句，最明显的方法就是把它们放在段首，好让阅卷者一目了然。

第四：虚

虚就是虚构。高考作文能写实固然好，但由于我们长期处在学校——家庭两点一线的生活方式，很难发现生活中真实动人的故事。高考作文要求有创新，必然把原本平淡无奇的事情编得生动曲折。

第五：简

简即简笔勾勒。高考的一般议论文也好，一般记叙文也好，最好需要多种材料的荟萃，这样信息量大，以符合“内容充实”的要求，因而不欢迎一些时间、地点、人物、发生、发展、高潮、结局俱在的材料啰嗦记叙。

如果在高考作文的时候，能够很好的把握上面五个字，那高考作文将有可能获得满分。

【示例一】

①From the picture (graph, chart, table , pie, bar), we know that ________(图表内容总概括). ②On the one hand, the left/first picture tells us that ________(情况一，图一/表一的内容). ③On the other hand, (the right/second)picture informs us that ________( 情况二，图二/表二的内容).④It can easily be seen that ________(揭示图画/表寓意).

【示例二】

①As is vividly shown/described/depicted in the cartoon/picture, ________(图表内容总概括).②In the first picture, ________(描述图/表一内容，如果是一个表，则可左或上半部分).③As is shown in the second drawing/picture, ________(描述图/表二内容，如果是一个表，则右或下半部分).④It is safe to draw the conclusion that ________(提示寓意，或主题句，回应主题但不是主题句的重复).

假设你是李华，你的英国网友Peter希望了解一下我国高考英语试卷（NMET）中的“短

文改错”（Error Correction）题型的情况。请你写一封回复邮件。并特别强调自己某一次因为没有严格按照要求答题被扣掉了本可得到的7分。

注意：1．词数100左右

2．内容请参照本卷该大题内容。

3．生词：（打）勾：tick 分：point 逻辑（的）：logic

Hi, Peter:

Thanks for your e-mail. Here I’m going to tell you what you asked about.

Error Correction, as the 1st section of Written Part of NMET, mainly tests the mastery of the use of words and grammar of English. The understanding of the given text is course important to the performance.

There are 10 numbered lines, each of which may have one mistake. You have to decide firstly whether there is a mistake or not. If not, put a tick in the numbered blank. If there is a mistake, you may have to add a word, cross out a word, or change word. You have to find out the mistakes in the use of words and/or grammar. Sometimes there may be a logic problem, which would be the most difficult.

Last time I got 7 points less than expected. Why? I didn’t put the answers strictly following the rule, although I did know how to do it.

Anything still unclear? Just write to me.

嗨，彼得：

谢谢你的邮件。在这里我要告诉你，你问。

误差校正，作为高考英语笔试部分第一部分，主要测试词汇和语法的掌握英语的使用。对文本的理解是很重要的。

一共有10株，其中可能有一个错误。首先你要确定是否有错误。如果没有，空格的空白。如果有一个错误，你可以添加一个词，划掉一个字，或改变的话。你要找到的词语或语法错误使用。有时可能会有一个逻辑问题，这将是最困难的。

上次我得了7分，比预期的少。为什么？我没有把答案的严格规则，虽然我不知道如何去做。

还不清楚什么呢？就给我写信。

人生是扬帆起航的船支，行驶在茫茫的大海上。那看似平静的海面下，等待着我们的，也可能是惊涛骇浪。生活的道路上充满荆棘，我们常常被刺得遍体鳞伤。与其顶着困难继续艰难地前行，不如偶尔停下来，欣赏沿途的美丽风光。

当清晨的第一缕光亮划破天际;当傍晚皎洁的月亮高高悬起，疲于赶路的你，会注意到吗?朋友，长途跋涉中，何不偶尔停下来呢?停下来，抛开沉重的包袱，躺在洒满月光的草地上，在虫鸣鸟叫中，感受这生命的乐章，享受春风的爱抚;停下来，仔细品味露珠的味道，欣赏那初升的太阳，沉醉其中，多么美好!享受后启程，步伐是否会更加有力?

当你在追逐梦想时，当你在海中扬起风帆时。大山将你阻挡，狂澜将你推倒。当你一次次被命运击溃，灰心丧气时。朋友，何不偶尔停下来呢?停下来，擦干眼中的泪水，接受自然的洗礼，净化你的心灵;停下来，调整好心态，勇敢地站起来;停下来，寄情于山水之间，释放自己的灵魂，倾听溪流的快乐。偶尔抬起头，是否可以发现，天空更加宽阔，阳光更加灿烂?

当你再次站在人生的十字路口前，被迫做出艰难的抉择。面对命运的威胁，你是否动摇过，是否迷茫过。面对残酷的现实，你是否哭泣过，是否想过放手?朋友，何不偶尔停下来呢?停下来，回首自己留下的足迹。再回过头来，是否发现自己已不再迷茫，在心中，多了一份坦然与轻松?偶尔停下来，是一种享受，是一种需要，是一种智慧，是一种对待人生的态度，是茫茫人生道路上的指路标。偶尔停下来，拍一拍身上的泥土，倒一倒鞋中的沙粒，望望天，看看云，用轻松的心态去迎接属于你的美丽人生!

典型论据

丁肇中谈“浪费”——时间是最浪费不起的

著名科学家丁肇中说：“看电影是金钱和时间上的浪费，尤其是时间，那是最浪费不起的。”丁肇中读起书来非常专心，夏天里甚至隆隆的雷声大作时，他都听不见，可说是雷打不动。如果遇到疑难问题，他决不中途退缩，要么查阅参考书籍，要么向老师和同学请教。不找到正确的答案，不弄个水落石出决不罢休，所以，他的时间总不够用。在实验室工作时，往往每天只睡两三个小时，甚至通宵达旦。为了搞科研，他需要和世界各地的研究机构联系，他乘飞机是“买月票”。一般人乘飞机不能睡觉，他正相反，乘飞机是最好的休息，常常见他下了飞机，眼睛里挂着血丝就直奔实验室……

马哈蒂尔讨厌做多余的事——绝不浪费时间

马来西亚前总理马哈蒂尔是个很重效率的人，他接受记者采访从来都是设计好一定时间就能完成的内容，绝不拖泥带水。采访中绝对没有多余的动作和话语，一到时间立即送客。他也最讨厌做一些占用工作时间的无用的事情。有一次，马哈蒂尔出访某个国家，由于访问极其成功，在回国的飞机上随从们悄悄准备了一场盛大的聚会，以示庆贺。本想给马哈蒂尔一个惊喜，没想到他知道后大发雷霆，认为这不仅浪费钱还浪费时间。马来西亚一位作家在一本名为《马哈蒂尔的另一面》的书中披露：马哈蒂尔最讨厌的 3 件事是理发、剪指甲和上厕所，因为在做这 3 件事时，无法同时做其他事情。

钱学森先当院长后当副院长——时间比职务珍贵

在钱学森的履历介绍上常有“任国防部五院副院长、院长”的字样，可实际上钱学森是先当院长，后当副院长。当年 45 岁的钱院长虽然精力充沛，但他既要为中国的导弹事业举办“扫盲班”，又要带领大家进行技术攻关，还要为研究院一大家人的柴米油盐操心。有时研究院的报告和幼儿园的报告会一同等待他批示。这些行政事务占用了他很多时问，为此他给聂帅写信，要求“退”下来改正为副，专心致力于科学研究和技术攻关，上级同意了他的要求。

巴尔扎克惜时如金——创作要争分夺秒

巴尔扎克是位多产的作家，他的时间是一分一秒也不空过的。一次，巴尔扎克太累了，对一个朋友说：“我睡一会儿，你 1 小时后叫醒我。” 1 个小时过去了，朋友实在不忍心叫醒他。巴尔扎克醒来后，发现超过了 1 小时，几乎是暴跳如雷地对朋友说：“你为什么不叫醒我，耽误了我多少时间啊 ! ”他平时每天写作十六七个小时，把自己关在房里，一日三餐由仆人从特定的窗口放进去。 1850 年， 51 岁的巴尔扎克自我感觉心脏病要大发作了。他问医生还能活多久，半年，还是 6 星期 ? 医生都用摇头来回答。巴尔扎克着急地说：“至少 6 天总可以了吧 ? 我还可以写个提纲，还可以把已经出版的 50 卷校订一下。”

富兰克林的时间表——时间是组成生命的材料

人们问富兰克林：“你怎么能做那么多的事呢 ? ”“您看看我的时间表就知道了。”他的作息时间表是什么样子呢 ?5 点起床，规划一天事务，并自问：“我这一天要做些什么事 ? ”上午 8 点至 11 点，下午 2 点至 5 点，工作;中午 12 点至 1 点，阅读，吃午饭;晚 6 点至 9 点，用晚饭、谈话、娱乐、考查一天的工作，并自问：“我今天做了什么事 ? ”

朋友劝富兰克林说：“天天如此，是不是过于……”“你热爱生命吗 ? ”富兰克林摆摆手，打断朋友的话，“那么别浪费时间，因为时间是组成生命的材料。”

“我没有工夫去看戏”——科学研究要争分夺秒

爱因斯坦从不无端浪费时间。无论在他年轻的时候，还是在他年老的时候，他都十分珍惜时间，把精力集中在对自然奥秘的探索上。

有一次，几个物理学家想让爱因斯坦休息一会儿，约他去看戏。爱因斯坦头也没抬，冷冷地说：“我没有工夫去看戏。”朋友们苦苦相劝，爱因斯坦语重心长地说：“等你们活到 60 岁的时候，就会珍惜由你们支配的每一个钟头。”

当他病重的时候，他的学生问他要什么。他低声说：“我现在只希望还有几个小时的时间，让我能够把一些稿子整理好。”

一天多赚 4 小时——只争朝夕

毛泽东日理万机，还要抽时间读书，时间对他来说真是有如金子般可贵。他对合理使用时间有自己的一套办法，用他的话说就是“一天多赚 4 个小时”。毛泽东的一天是以 28 小时为周期的，比如说，今天半夜 12 点睡，早晨 5 点起床，那么第二天就会在凌晨三四点睡，早晨八九点起床，第三天又会拖到早晨七八点睡，中午 12 点起床。这样，毛泽东就形成了自己独特的一天——比大自然的一天多 4 小时。

爱迪生幼年密友奇约恩有一次特地从乡下赶来探望他。到了爱迪生实验室门口，他请看门人通报，看门人答道：“主人此刻有要事在身，不便通报，请到会客室等一等 ! ”进了会客室，只见已有一位女客坐在沙发里埋头看书。过了半个小时，奇约恩烦躁地问看门人：“可以通报了吧 ? ”看门人道：“对不起，请再等片刻。”这时，那位女客看了看手表，站起身来，低声与看门人嘀咕了几句，没精打采地走了。又过了一刻钟，奇约恩气呼呼地对看门人嚷道：“嗯，到底会不会 ?! 你不要小看我这个乡下人，我……”话没说完，看门人问道：“你知道刚才的女客人是谁吗 ? ”奇约恩说：“我远道赶到这里，谁管你们的男客女客 ! ”看门人微微一笑，说：“跟你实说了吧，她是我们主人的太太 ! 今天有事商议已足足等了 3 个小时，主人今天工作没有完毕，她只得先回家去啦。”原来，爱迪生每天早晨走进实验室以后，往往忘记了一切。工作没有完毕，概不会客，即使夫人要见，也只得“打回票”。

鲁迅惜时如金——时间是挤出来的

文坛巨匠鲁迅先生很爱惜时间。他一生撰写和翻译了 640 万字，平均每天写 2000 字，为无产阶级文化宝库留下了极其丰富的遗产。

许广平在回忆鲁迅时说：“他常常一点一滴地积累时间学习。成天东家玩玩，西家坐坐，说长道短，是他最怕的。如果有朋友在他工作的时候来谈天了，就是最要好的朋友，他也会毫不客气地说：唉，你又来了，没有别的事好做吗 ? ”

鲁迅把时间当作生命。他说：“节省时间，也就是使一个人的有限生命，更为有效，而也即等于延长了人的生命。”正像他所说的，他把别人喝咖啡的时间都用在了工作上。他是用跑步的速度度过了自己的一生。鲁迅在逝世前不久，还在病床上写作。他有一句名言：节省时间，也就使一个人的有限生命更加有效，而也即延长了人的生命。

司马光的“警枕”——学习要抓紧一切时间

司马光爱读书，总是抓紧一切时间学习，在他的书房中，除了卧具和图书，还有一个奇特的枕头。这个枕头用圆木做成，光滑浑圆，是司马光为了约束自己不至于睡得太久而做的。当他睡得太熟或太久时，一翻身，枕头就会滚动，这样他就会被惊醒，赶紧又起来继续看书。为此他还给这个枕头起名叫“警枕”，以警醒自己节约时间，刻苦学习。

歌德以时间为财产——“时间是宝贵的财富”

德国诗人、剧作家、思想家歌德，一生的作品很多，早期有剧本《葛冯·伯利欣根》、书信体小说《少年维特之烦恼》等，重要诗剧有《浮士德》。歌德一生孜孜不倦地努力写作，非常珍惜时间，他在一首诗里写道：

我的产业是多么美，

多么广，多么宽 !

时间是我的财产，

我的田地是时间。

歌德的话是很有见地的。因为时间就是生命，就是事业，只有珍惜时间，才能延长生命，才能取得事业的成功。

“合理的方式”——为节约时间，不惜“毁容”

维克多·雨果是 19 世纪法国著名作家。有一回，他为了创作一部新作品，便紧张地投入了工作中。可是，外面不断有人来邀他去赴宴，出于礼节，他不得不去，为此浪费了好多时间。最后，他想出了一个绝妙的办法，把自己的头发剪去一半，又把胡子剪掉，再把剪子扔到窗外。这样，他就不好出去会客，不得不留在家里。于是他专心致志地埋头创作，把又一部巨著奉献给人们。他把这种办法称之为“合理的方式”。

“为什么要明天”——今天的事今天做

柯罗是法国画家，他是使法国风景画从传统的历史风景画过渡到现实主义风景画的代表人物。曾经三次旅游意大利，遍游法国，深入大自然，创作了一批简练、淳朴、继承传统又出新意的风景画和人物画。

有一天，一位青年画家来到柯罗家里，把自己的作品拿出来给柯罗看。柯罗指出了对方作品中几处他觉得不满意的地方，青年画家很感动，连忙表示：“谢谢您，明天我全部修改。”柯罗激动地问道：“为什么要明天 ? 您想明天才改吗 ? 要是您今天就死了呢 ? ”

徐特立守时不违——惜时就要守时

徐特立的时间观念很强，他珍惜自己的时间，也珍惜别人的时间。开会必准时到达;与人约会，必按时赴约，如有改变，必定先通知。他说：“如果迟到一分钟，有 60 人参加的会就要浪费别人一点钟;有 600 人参加的会就要浪费别人 10 点钟，人数越多，浪费越大。这是不可容忍的错误。鲁迅先生不是说过吗 ? 浪费别人的时间，等于谋财害命 ! ”

徐特立一生最善于挤时间读书，日间工作繁忙，就挤晚上的睡眠时间。他这种孜孜不倦、认真看书学习的精神，一直坚持到晚年而没有懈怠。

富兰克林卖书——时间就是金钱

著名的物理学家和政治学家富兰克林在自己的实验室旁开了一间书店。一天，一位青年人走进这家书店，挑中了一本价值一美元的书。他和店员为这本书的价格问题发生了争执，店员只好从实验室里请来了富兰克林。下面是两人的对话：

“你把书拿走吧，我不要你的钱。我宁愿倒找你一美元，而不愿放下我忙碌的工作。”

“先生，你弄错了，我只不过想便宜一点。”

“那好吧，这本书现在卖两美元。”

“什么 ? 你刚才不是说不要钱吗 ? ”

“我现在能出的价钱是三美元。”说完，富兰克林转身回到了自己的实验室。

青年人默默掏出三美元，买下了这本书。他认为花这三美元是值得的，因为他懂得了一个令人终生受益的道理：时间就是金钱。

拿破仑吃饭不等人——守时珍惜别人的时间

拿破仑是一个时间观念很强的人，他最痛恨不守时的行为。有一次他请几位将军吃饭，时间到了那几位将军还没来。拿破仑焦急地在饭桌边踱了几个来回，就自己一个人坐下大吃起来。等那些将军到来之时，他已经吃完了，吩咐佣人收拾餐具。并对将军们说：“诸位，聚餐时间已过，现在咱们开始研究事情吧 ! ”那几个将军坐也不是，站也不是，尴尬得想钻到地缝里去。从此，只要是赴拿破仑的约，就再也没人敢迟到了。

凡尔纳从不放弃时间——成功的秘密就是惜时

凡尔纳是法国著名的科幻小说家。他每天 5 点起床，除了用餐和很短时间的休息外，一直伏案写作，直到晚上 8 点。他的妻子关切地说：“你写的书已经不少了，为什么还抓得这么紧呢 ? ”凡尔纳回答说：“你记得莎士比亚的名言吗 ? 放弃时间的人，时间也会放弃他。哪能不抓紧呢!”凡尔纳一生写了 66 部长篇小说和一些短篇小说集，还有几个剧本和其他著作，共七八百万字。对如此丰硕的成果，有人悄悄地问他的妻子，其中的秘密是什么 ? 凡尔纳的妻子坦然地说：“秘密吗 ? 就是他从不放弃时间。”

哲理材料

涸辙之鲋

庄周去向监河侯借粮，监河侯说：“可以啊，但要等年终租税收上来后，那时我可以借你 300 斤。”庄周很气愤，便说：“昨天在路上我碰见了一条鲫鱼，求我给它一瓢水活命，我答应它说我可以到南方去把西江的水引来救它。鲫鱼生气地说：我离开相依为命的水已经快要死掉了，现在只要一瓢水就可以救活我，而你却要去千里之外引西江的水，等你回来之后，干脆到鱼铺去找我好了。”

时间银行

假设有一家银行，每天在你的账户里存入 86400 元，限令你必须在当天把这笔钱用完，没有用完的第二天就自动注销，你会怎么办?事实上真有这样的一家银行——它的名字叫时间，它每天给你 86400 秒。

珍惜时间的科学家

一天，几个物理学家开车去爱因斯坦的家，想请他去看一出新戏。但爱因斯坦正在书房认真地写科学论文。

“亲爱的博士，请你休息一下，和我们去看戏吧!”物理学家们恳求说。“我没工夫看戏。”爱因斯坦冷冷地说，头也没有抬。

“博士，我们有车送你，花不了你多少时间。”

“行了，不用劝我。”爱因斯坦抬头看几位物理学家，语重心长地说，“等你们活到 60 岁，就会感到时间的珍贵了。”

物理学家们惭愧地低着头，悄悄地退出爱因斯坦的书房。

爱因斯坦十分珍惜时间，把时间都花在对自然奥秘的探索上面了。

一天，下着毛毛细雨，爱因斯坦头戴宽边帽，在一座桥的桥头来回踱步。他手里拿笔，时而凝神思索，时而在纸片上写些什么。对于细雨，他似乎毫无感觉。

“你好，博士!”一位路过的朋友奇怪地问，“你在这干什么?”

“我在应约一位学生，但他至今未来。”

“那你不可惜你的时间?”朋友知博士惜时如金，惊讶地问。

“啊，不，不!我非常有意义地度过了这段时间。”爱因斯坦摇头说，“在这段时间里，我思考并解答了一个有趣的问题。”说完，他把手里的纸片小心地叠好，放入袋里……

做惜时如金的人

你可能没有比尔·盖茨那般富有，但有一样东西你和别人拥有的一样多，那就是时间。时间对于每一个人来说，都是异常公平的，不论富人或穷人，男人或女人，聪明或不聪明的，摆在你面前的时间，每天都是24小时，总统和乞丐的生命都是同一单位。

爱因斯坦曾组织过享有盛名的“奥林比亚科学院”，每晚例会，他总是愿意同与会者手棒茶杯，开怀畅饮，边喝茶，边谈话。爱因斯坦就是利用这种闲暇时间，交流自己的思想，把这些看似更平常的时间利用起来。后来他的某些理想主张，他的各种科学创见，在很大程度上产生于这种饮茶的时间里。

爱因斯坦并没有因为这是闲暇时间而休息，而是在休闲时工作，这是很好的结合。现在，茶杯和茶壶已渐渐地成为英国剑桥大学的一项“独特设备”，以纪念爱因斯坦利用闲暇时间的创举。

创新论证

时间的成本

日本太阳公司为提高开会效率，实行开会分析成本制度。每次开会时，总是把一个醒目的会议成本分配表贴在黑板上。

成本的算法是：会议成本 = 每小时平均工资的 3 倍× 2 ×开会人数×会议时间 ( 小时 ) 。公式中平均工资之所以乘以 3 ，是因为劳动产值高于平均工资;乘以 2 是因为参加会议要中断经常性工作，损失要以 2 倍来计算。因此，参加会议的人越多，成本越高。有了成本分析，大家开会态度就会慎重，会议效果也十分明显。

如何节约时间，以最大限度地提高企业工作效率并节约成本是摆在各企业管理者面前的一个不容忽视的问题，很多企业，特别是国企，时常会把时间和精力浪费在无休止、无意义的会议上。

我们这里倒不是说企业不开会更好。会议是企业解决问题、部署工作的必要环节，可如果把更多的时间花在喊口号上，职工们还有时间去做自己的工作吗?

会是要开的，一周开一次例会就差不多了，而且在开会时，要落实到具体的问题上。如果开一次会只是为了在会议室打一阵子瞌睡，喝两杯茶，这只能说明这次会议只是走了一下形式而已。

聪明的老板是不愿看到这一群走马观花的下属的。这就要求公司培养高素质的员工，让他们设身处地地为公司着想，珍惜每一分钟，哪怕是开会的那几十分钟。即使没有人发言，只要他在认真地听，已说明他是个认真干事的人了。

“一日之计在于夜”

人们常说：“一日之计在于晨”，这话有其固有的含义。但如把“一日之计”的“计”，看作是“筹划”、“思考”的意思，则可对这话另作一番议论。对于我们这批莘莘学子来说，早晨只是又一个新的学习跋涉的起点，我们都必须在这时养足精神，然后再去接受更多意料不到的挑战。我们根本来不及多想这一天如何过。

相反，到了晚上，我们不仅有时间总结一天的收获，细细地咀嚼一天的生活，将白天的学习内容作一番深入探讨;还可以有足够的时间打算一下，未来的明天如何过。

因此，据我一点不成熟的思考，一日之计在于“夜”。

等到黑夜完全降临，你会发现，你好像已成为万物的主宰。黑色夜幕就如熟识的黑板，你的大脑就像粉笔，在上面不断画过，如行云流水一般。你仿佛清晰地看到了蕴藏在心底的一切，符号、数字、文字与图形……

这时候的你，灵感也会特别丰富，白天搁置多时的问题现在都可以在弹指间迎刃而解。或许你会自嘲地说：“白天我难道是傻瓜 ? ”不，那只是因为黑夜赋予了你更多的灵感。夜里看上去整个世界都黑洞洞的，感到宇宙的浩瀚与自我的渺小，于是，心神也如黑夜一般开阔与无尽，灵感的激流于一瞬间喷发而出，经久不息。难道你没有看到，李白、苏轼、鲁迅、朱自清，乃至世界各国的作家们，都喜在灯下疾书吗 ?

“今日事，今日毕”，待到完成了今天的内容，就该稍稍考虑“明日事，如何为。 ”头脑经过了夜的洗礼，已渐趋清灵，作出明日的计划不仅正确，而且有条理。若“明日事”待“明日思”，不仅糊涂，而且由于仓促而欠缺条理。那么，为何不重新考虑一下“明日事，今日算” ?

夜是黑暗的，但黑夜中的一切并不一定都是黑暗。在黑夜中，我们这批学子的头脑便是闪亮的光明所在，因为在这“一日之计”中溶入了我们日复一日的希望。黑夜赋予我们黑色的眼睛，而我们注定要用它在黑夜中摸索出自己的生活。

惜时也要注意休息

我们应该珍惜时间，但惜时也应该注意休息。人的身体都有一定的承受能力，超过这个承受力，人的学习、工作的效率会下降，而且还会伤及自己的身体。因此我们提惜时，但同时要注意适当的休息，只有休息好了，人的学习、工作的效率才会提高，才能真正做到惜时。

时间等于质量

苏联历史学家雷巴科夫曾说：“时间是个常数，但对勤奋者来说，是个变数。用分来计算时间的人，比用时来计算时间的人，时间多五十九倍。”文学巨匠鲁迅先生就是把别人喝咖啡的时间用在写作上，所以有那么多的作品，而且大都是千古绝唱，给人以永恒的启迪。他曾说：“时间，就像海绵里的水，只要愿挤，总还是有的。”这就告诉我们要想不成为时间的奴仆，就要拿出信心和勇气，做时间的主人，与生命争时间，使有限的生命在事业和创造中得到永生。高尔基说：“当一个人同妨碍他生命的事物进行斗争时，生活便会比什么都更加充实，更有意义。在斗争中，苦闷无聊的时刻便会不知不觉地飞逝而去。”因此，时间不在它的长短，而在于质量。

It is a great pleasure to extend my sincere gratitude to you for your hospitality and consideration while I pursue my bachelors degree at University of California.

Without your help, I would not have graduated with honors and found a satisfactory job back here in China. I know I can never repay you for everything you have done for me in the past four years, but you can be sure that I

Best regards.
