When I was ten, my mother worked all day so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.

One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, put on his shoes, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour late, I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my back and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn`t afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother to Wait right here. A man heard it and stopped me just before I walked off. He asked me, ”You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?” I did not know how to answer that question. He continued,: It is OK if you can`t find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother.” Then he sent us to mum`s workplace by taxi.

I have depended on the kindness of many strangers in my whole life. I feel regretful that I cannot find them and say thank you. I don’t even remember what the man`s face looked like, but he taught me a lesson—people are more important than things.

The same life day by day is like eating white rice every day for your brain(大脑). Playing games with your mind(头脑) keeps your brains quick, and make your memory and powers of reasoning much better. Try the following fun and free activities to stimulate your brain.

Use the opposite hand: If you are right-handed, become a lefty. Changing the hand you usually use can get your brain thinking in a different way.

Talk to yourself: Pick one hour a day to discuss something with yourself. Describe what you see, what you are doing, or what you are going to do. Talking while thinking is a great brain booster(助推器).

Write down your dream: You can write out your wishes and goals(目标) and they can call your attention. Keep a pen and paper next to your bed. You can record your sleeping dreams with them. It is a fun way to get your brain thinking. Along with increasing memory, trying to unlock the secret behind your sleeping brain is one way to get to know yourself better.

Walk on: Just like the body, your brain needs exercise, too. Walking can increase blood circulation(血液循环), which encourages blood vessels(血管) in your brain grow, raise energy production and throw away the waste. So walk anywhere at anywhere at anytime if possible.
