June 12，Sunday
Today is Sunday．I didn't get up early as usually．In the morning after I finished my homework，I do some washing．Then I telephoned one of my classmate and invited him to see a film．
And unfortunately，when we got to the cinema at 3：00pm we found all the tickets had sold out．Then we went to our school and played the football．Later，we were about to go home while we saw our English teacher，Mr．Wang，came through the school gate．He told us we had made many progress in English this term．He also suggested that we read more and wrote more．We promised him that we would follow his advice．

18．"Why do we have to learn all this dumb stuff？"
Of all the complaints and questions I have heard from my students during my years in the classroom，this was the one most frequently asked．I would answer it by telling the following legend．
One night a group of nomads （游牧民） were preparing to retire for the evening when suddenly they were surrounded by a great light．They knew they were in the presence of a godly being．With great expectation，they awaited a heavenly message of great importance that they knew must be especially for them．
Finally，the voice spoke，"Gather as many pebbles （鹅卵石） as you can．Put them in your bags．Travel a day's journey and tomorrow night will find you glad and it will find you sad．"
The nomads shared their disappointment and anger with each other．They had expected the inspiration of a great universal truth that would enable them to create wealth，health and purpose for the world．But instead they were given a silly task that made no sense to them at all．However，the memory of the brilliance of their visitor caused each one to pick up a few pebbles and store them in their bags while voicing their displeasure．
They traveled a day's journey and that night while making camp，they reached into their bags and discovered every pebble they had gathered had become a diamond．They were glad they had diamonds．They were sad they had not gathered more pebbles．
It was an experience I had with a student，whom I shall call Alan，early in my teaching career that illustrated the truth of that legend to me．
When Alan was in the eighth grade，he majored in"trouble"with a minor in"suspensions （停学）"．He had studied how to be a bully and was getting his master's degree in"thievery"．
Every day I had my students memorize a quotation from a great thinker．As I called the roll （点名），I would begin a quotation．To be counted present，the student would be expected to finish the thought．
"Alice Adams-‘There is no failure except…'"
"‘In no longer trying．'I'm present，Mr．Schlatter．"
So，by the end of the year，my young pupils would have memorized 150great thoughts．
"People nowadays know the price of everything and the value of nothing．"
"No pains，no gains．"
"If you can conceive it，and believe it，you can achieve it．"
No one complained about this daily routine other than Alan-right up to the day he was expelled （开除） and I lost touch with him for five years．Then one day，he called．He was in a special program at one of the neighboring colleges and had just finished parole（假释）．
He told me that after being sent to juvenile hall （少管所） and finally being shipped off to the California Youth Authority for his wrong doings，he had become so disgusted with himself that he had taken a razor blade and cut his wrists．
He said，"You know what，Mr．Schlatter，as I lay there with my life running out of my body，I suddenly remembered that quote you made me write 20times one day．"There is no failure except in no longer trying．"Then it suddenly made sense to me．As long as I was alive，I wasn't a failure，but if I allowed myself to die，I would most certainly die a failure．So with my remaining strength，I called for help and started a new life．"
At the time he had heard the quotation，it was a pebble．When he needed guidance in a moment of crisis，it had become a diamond．And so it is to you，I say，gather all the pebbles you can，and you can count on a future filled with diamonds．
