20.Darno Setiadi is one of the top ten thousand richest men in Indonesia.Mr.Setiadi runs his own business,importing machinery from Europe and selling it all over the country.He employs over three hundred people and lives in a very large house in Jakarta,the capital city.However,as he will tell you,he had to travel down a long,hard road to get to where he is today."I built this business up from nothing through my own hard work,"said Darno."I come from a poor family and have thirteen brothers and sisters.My dad died when I was fourteen and I had to go out to work to try to support the rest of my family.To begin with,I sold ice cream in the street; then I got a job selling cloth door-to-door.After that,I started traveling all over the island selling things to people and slowly I started getting ideas about what kind of products the different markets wanted.
"When I was twenty-one,I left my wife and two children at home and moved to Jakarta to set up my own business,selling all kinds of machines,but,particularly propellers (螺旋桨) for boats.There are over thirteen thousand islands in Indonesia,so there's a huge market for that kind of thing.Luckily for me,some friends helped me get import licenses.Business was increasing and I could finally afford to bring my family over to join me.
"The only real problem I have now is who's going to take control of the business when I retire.I'd like my son to run it,but he's not really strong enough to do it!I think perhaps his childhood was too easy,and that has made him a bit too soft to do work like this!"

There are several goals we aim to reach in our undergraduate program.
The most obvious one is to give knowledge-fairly (52)A knowledge in one field and a more general knowledge of a variety of other subject areas which you may choose according to your interest.But if acquiring knowledge is a self-evident part of a college education,it is (53)B the most important.Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your (54)A for many years,and some of those that do will even be proved (55)C by new knowledge.
(56)A,we can instill(灌输) certain attitudes of mind-a willingness to accept uncertainty,and the lack of definite truths; independence of mind,and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts sometimes lead to.
In addition to these (57)D qualities,a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of (58)D time.Some of this capacity can be stimulated in the classroom-in courses in the humanities and the arts.Yet,at least as much (59)B will occur outside the lecture hall-on athletic fields,in music rooms,student theaters,concert halls,and so forth.
These are some of the (60)B of a liberal college education as I see them.I cannot resist concluding with a few private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard.
To begin with,I hope that we will think (61)A about what we want to accomplish here.It would be (62)C for you to set your sights on some limited goal,such as getting good grades or merely getting into one or another graduate school.
Second,I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here.There are many problems waiting for your help,and many people who could (63)B your efforts.
My final bit of advice.Whatever else we do,let us remember not to take ourselves too seriously.However great our problems may seem,however urgent our complaints,they are overshadowed(黯然失色) by the (64)Cof countless other people on our planet.
