题目内容
10.We were extremely poor.We had no house,no food.We had nothing.My parents had many problems.My family was always on the edge of violence.It was unbelievably stressful.There wasn't a moment to relax during my entire childhood.I wanted to be an artist when I was about six.But my family was so poor that I got knocked off track by the working-class educational system and the environment I was living in.I became a street gang member,causing trouble and fighting against other groups.
Being a teenager with vivid imagination,a strong sense of adventure and some degree of courage,it was attractive to steal cars,drive them away,and get chased by the police.
If I had nothing to do,I would go to evening school to learn painting.I tried to enter one of those art schools,but I was rejected by 11schools when they heard I had been a street gang member.When I was not accepted,I cried a lot.
When I was finally accepted by Croydon College of Art,I felt I was in heaven.I felt that my life had been saved.I worked with great stress that other students found scary,and it scared me too.Unlike other students I could also feel a kind of happiness to do my best to realize my dream.
I went through a long period in my life where my art was not accepted.The only time I almost considered giving up was one morning,about 3a.m.I had an exhibition in New York.I could sell none of my works.I could not afford to live.I was so defeated.I thought maybe I should go somewhere in the middle of America and find a new job,have a car and a house with a garage.That lasted about an hour,but it was such a stressful experience.
Now I'm famous,and I got a lot of my works sold at a pretty high price.I think before one is famous,one has to be infamous,and before one is accepted,one has to be rejected.Painting doesn't explain itself.Painting is not an explanation.Painting doesn't try to teach.Painting is a body of experiences.Painting is called a hard business.One has to have firm beliefs.And I do.One has to have courage to be an artist because one has got to put up with all the insults one has to suffer as an artist.So one has to persist,in other words,to have a little hope.

To make learning fun,you need to see learning as an exploration,not a chore (杂事).Don't just force yourself to learn things because they're important or necessary.Instead,learn things you need to learn and you love to learn.Follow your heart,as well as your sense of duty.Even when you're learning the things you have to,seek to go beyond what you're being asked to learn.Look at the history,case studies,different applications,etc.,to make your learning experience much more colorful.
Doing reading as much as you can is also helpful.So make friends with local new and used book sellers.Through reading you'll never stop learning.Wise people read lots of books all the time; it's as simple as that.And reading will help you know the discoveries and mistakes of others so that you don't have to learn things the hard way.So remember that books,newspapers,and magazines are all reading,and as are websites,reviews and other online sources of information.
Asking the right questions can be more important than having the answers.So be sure to listen closely and understand the response.Sometimes a response is difficult to understand.Feel free to take notes,ask more questions and break down the response into smaller components (成分) to make sense of it.You can keep a diary or notebook to record what you learn and what questions you still have.Questions can teach as much as,or more than,answers.
To be a lifelong learner,often evaluate (评估) and apply what you learn.Does it make sense?Is it true?Try to answer these questions and make good evaluation about what you're learning.In addition,applying what you learn is the best way to test it and it'll help you learn it more completely and keep it longer.
