A Little at a Time
Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practice I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.
"Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?"
"'I try to."
"Well, do not," he exclaimed." When you grow up, time won't come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between chores. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life."
Years later when I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but recitations, theme-reading, and meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I recalled what my piano teacher said to me.
During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied(空闲的), I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had written quite a lot. Later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal(零碎的) method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, every day there were idle (空闲的)moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano-playing again, finding that the small interval of the day provided enough time for both writing and piano practice.

January12 Friday Sunny
Today I read a very good essay. It is about how the author realized her dream as a writer even though she was a busy fulltime teacher. She managed it by making good use of every idle minute.
After reading it, I was shocked and at the same time I felt sorry for myself. I am a middle school student. I have always been complaining about the lack of time: there is not enough time for me to memorize so many English words so I take it for granted that I should be poor in English; I don't have the time to help with the housework; I seldom have any time for sports...
I've come to understand where my problem is. From now on, I will learn to manage well my time. First I will make good plans and preparations beforehand so that I can concentrate on my task and make good use of every minute. In this way, I am sure I will have enough time for my study, sports, let alone helping with the housework. Remember: make every minute count.

Liu Feng Blog My 18th Birthday 2010- 4-14 9:29:2 |
Today is my 18th birthday, which means that from now on, I am an adult, so it is very fresh to me. I can not forget the happiness and love that my family and friends have given me. To show their love and affection, they held a great ceremony for me at home, and also sent me many kinds of presents, which have left me with great memories. However, the most unforgettable thing is : a small gift from my English teacher, Jesse. This morning, after class, Jesse approached me and said “Happy Birthday and here is a card for you”. After thanking him, I carefully opened it: “Dear Liu Feng, I sincerely hope the 18th birthday will bring you great happiness all through your life. I have been with you for almost one year, and I find you are a good boy. You are working hard and doing fine in your study, and also I’d like you to have a little change in yourself. Since last month, when you failed in the exam, you have become shy and passive, you seem to have closed your world from others and hesitate to be together with them, which I think is not good for you. To adapt yourself to your future college and social life, find yourself an active life! Yours, Jesse” Reading this, I was moved to tears… |
