　　A young man in Japan wanted to be a great artist．He thought that he must study with the best teacher who lived many miles away．After traveling for several days, he arrived at the school and then visited the teacher．“What do you wish to learn from me? ” the teacher asked．

　　“I want you to teach me your art and help me become one of the best artists in the country, ” the young man replied．“How long must I study? ”

　　“Ten years at least．” The teacher answered．

　　The guy thought, “Ten years is a lot of time．I don't have that much time．”

　　So he asked the teacher, “What if I study twice as hard as everyone else does? How long would it take then? ”

　　“Then it would take twenty years, ” replied the teacher．

　　The guy thought, “That's even longer! I don't want to spend twenty years learning something．Certainly if I try really hard I could learn it much quicker．”

　　So the student asked again, “What if I practice day and night with all my effort? How long would it take? ”

　　“Thirty years, ” the teacher answered．The young student wondered why the teacher kept telling him that it would take longer．

　　He asked the teacher, “Why is it that each time I said I would work harder, you told me that it would take longer? ”

　　“The answer is simple．With one eye looking at your destination(目的地), there is only one eye left with which to find the way, ” the teacher said．

　　Any endeavor(尝试)takes effort, but it also takes patience．If we have one without the other, we get off balance(平衡)．With only effort, we try and try but get frustrated(失落的)when we do not see results as fast as we would like, or we get tired very quickly．With only patience and no effort, we never really put our full attention to a task．This is as true with school work．

Communication

　　You speak, write a letter, make a telephone call．Your words carry a message．People communicate(交流)with words．Do you think you can communicate without words?A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly．Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad．

　　When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions．You shake your head, and people know you are saying“No”．You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”．Other things can also carry messages．For example, a sign(招牌，标志)at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take．A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library．Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out．Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time?People can communicate in many other ways．An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things．Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas．Books, magazines, TV and radios and films all help us to communicate with each other．They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about．
