Here is an interview with a painter. Read and choose the best.
Reporter: Mr. Shum, you were one of Taiwan’s most outstanding youths last year. Why was that?
Mr. Shum: Well, I can tell you that there are two reasons. First, I am a painter. Second, and more important reason is I am handicapped﹙残疾的﹚. I have no arms and only one leg.
Reporter: Well, how do you paint then if you’ve got no arms? Do you use your foot?
Mr. Shum: Hah! For some handicapped people, it’s true and they are able to use their feet. No, I use my mouth. I put my paintbrush or my crayons or pencils or whatever I am using in my mouth. I hold it firmly in my teeth and paint or draw like that. It was a little strange for me at first, but it quickly became very easy.
Reporter: I know you feel that you are first a painter and only secondly that you are a disabled person, but can we talk first about your handicap?
Mr. Shum: Well, in fact I think of myself firstly as a person, secondly as a painter and thirdly as someone with a physical handicap. Can I say that I am not happy with the word “handicapped”? I am a popular painter because my paintings are good, not because they were painted by a handicapped person. “handicapped” means you can’t do anything. It is difficult for me to do some things like getting dressed.
Reporter: Were you born with your handicap?
Mr. Shum: No. An accident happened to me when I was 15 years old. After that I became depressed﹙沮丧﹚and even tried to end my life, but my mother was always there for me.

Long ago, there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well-known for his wide knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn things from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.
One day a student asked him, “My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself had many more questions about things than we did? On the contrary, we students have far more than you.”
With a smile, the teacher drew two circles—one as a big wheel, the other smaller.
“Of course, I’ve learned much more. But a teacher does not necessarily have fewer questions than his students. Now look at these two circles. Within the big one is my knowledge of things, and within the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, the line that marks out the circle is longer. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that’s why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn, the more questions you have. You never learn enough, you know.”
