第二节 读写任务

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.

We were driving in the right lane while, all of sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking

space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on my brakes, skidded. and missed the other

car’s back end through just inches! The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big

accident, turned his head angrily and started yelling bad word at us. 

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.  I mean, he was friendly. So I said, “Why

do you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital!” And this was that my

taxi driver told me, which I call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”.

Many people are as garbage trucks and they run around full of garbage, full of frustration , full

of anger, and full of disappointment. Their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump（倾倒）it.

And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it

personal. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You’ll be happy at what you do.
