Could you be a genius like Einstein?A genius needs to learn and think．Reading is a good idea, but it is not enough．Einstein's advice is to use your brain more．Here are some tips：
#Ask．When you look at new things, ask why they are new or different．Ask questions．Ask yourself and ask others．Keep thinking until you find the answer．
#Draw．Einstein thought in pictures．Sometimes, it helps to draw problems and ideas．
#Read．Try to read new things．Read books from different parts of the library．After you read, think about the ideas you have learned．Are they different from what you thought?
#Relax．Many ideas come when you are relaxed．Take some time to relax yourself in the ways like taking a walk in a park, going to a concert or a museum．
#Write．Keep a diary．Write down your questions and ideas．Write down new ideas after you read．
#Share．Einstein used to talk to his friends and explain his ideas．Sometimes, a friend can help you find the answer to a problem．
#Be brave．Do not let other people say your ideas are silly．Explain yourself．Let other people explain why they think you are wrong．Then decide．

I didn't think the passion(激情)was important for my life until that day．
One day I went out with my mum．I was bored．Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye．It was a man wearing old clothes．He was homeless．That didn't interest me, for I had seen many like him before．
But in some way he was different．This man was not sad to sit there．He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music．The radio seemed to be the most important thing．
“Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought he's homeless?” I asked．
“He bought it,” she answered．I was still puzzled．
“But if he's homeless, why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn't need．”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren't the most important things．We need happiness, too．”
