　　My students often tell me that they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork．

　　My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president．” I usually carry on a bit is not an an acceptable explanation of not getting something done．

　　Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard．His answer to me was, ”That’s irrelevant(无关的)important is the quality of your work．” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker” dodge(决窍), and I have come to some conclusions－all relevant to the problem of how much time we have．

　　If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem：There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed．Then there is the problem of “work” during that time．But, as my professor suggested, It’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product, that’s important．

　　That led me to a new idea：the quality of the work．That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone office：”Donn’t work harder．Work smarter．” Ther is a lot of sense in that idea．

　　If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work．That means thinking of ways to get out of the same time than we might otherwise get．That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits．Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression” workhabits” should be read as “study habits．”

　　Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing．If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your students．

The Sapporo Snow Festival (Sapporo Yuki-matsuri) is a festival being held every year in Sapporo, Japan for over seven days in February. Presently, Odori Park, Susukino, and Tsudome are the main places of the festival. The 2013 Yuki-matsuri dates are February 5 to 11.

The festival is one of Japan’s largest and most typical winter events. In 2007 (58th Festival), about two million people visited Sapporo to see the hundreds of floating statues and ice sculptures at the Odori Park and Susukino sites, in central Sapporo, and at the Satoland site. The festival is thought to be a chance for promoting international relations. International Snow Sculpture Contest has been held at the Odori Park site since 1974, and 14 teams from various areas of the world participated in 2008.

The subject of the statues differs and often shows an event, famous building or person from the previous year. For example, in 2004, there were statues of Hideki Matsui, the famous baseball player who at that time played for the New York Yankees. A number of stages made out of snow are also constructed and some events including musical performances are held. At the Satoland site, visitors can enjoy long snow and ice slides as well as a huge maze（迷宫） made of snow. Visitors can also enjoy a variety of local foods from all over Hokkaido at the Odori Park and Satoland sites, such as fresh seafood, potatoes and corn, and fresh dairy products.

Every year the number of Statues displayed is around 400 in total. In 2007, ther were 307 statues created in the Odori Park site, 32 in the Satoland site and 100 in the Susukino site. The best place to view the creations is from the TV Tower at the Odori Park site. Most of the statues are lighted in the evening. The Sapporo Snow Festival Museum is placed in the Hitsujigaoka observation hill （羊之丘展望台）in Toyohira-ku, and displays historical materials and media of the festival.
