Be True to Yourself

I first started playing the piano when I was three. My parents are musicians by profession, so they were both very encouraging. It was their dream, I think, to raise a child who could one day become a world - class pianist. So they hired an expensive tutor to teach me, and I practiced every day, sometimes for five or six hours at a time. Despite the long hours and the frustration, I did enjoy it, especially at first, and I was good. According to my parents and my tutor, I was really outstanding, and I was on the road to becoming a professional musician, just like my mother and father.

The trouble was, my heart really wasn't in it. My real passion was for something quite different—mathematics. Numbers, formulas, equations—these were the things that really sparked my imagination. I found more beauty in a mathematical equation, I told my parents, than in a piano concert. So when I went to college, I chose to major in mathematics, not music. Then I got a job working with numbers every day. My parents couldn't understand, and even now I don't think they've really forgiven me. They said I wasted a special gift. But I still believe what I did was right, for me.

A loud noise suddenly hurts your ears while you enjoy a movie in the cinema. A stranger makes you jump as he shouts at his friend on the other side of the city. Mobile phones are everywhere and sometimes they can be very annoying. Although they are a necessity of modern life, it is common to hear people complain about mobile phones.

Most public places have mobile phone rules. So try to keep your phone ringer as low as possible or put it on vibrate mode(震动模式)A good time to leave your phone at home would be at school or when visiting a hospital.

If you need to make or take a call while in a meeting or at a restaurant or a theater, leave the room. If you are expecting a call, get a seat near the door to minimize the interruption(减少干扰). It is polite to inform others at the beginning that you are expecting an important call. When you get a call and you are with friends, keep the call short and speak quietly. A good way to make sure that people don' t interrupt you and others is to tell your friends when it' s a good time to call.
