How successful leaders spent their teenage years
I don’t think I have ever before been compared with Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc. 1. But for what it is worth, I’ll give you some traits that I think are common among most of these people.
Reading
Read a wide variety of books and articles that stretch your imagination. Don’t just read easy books (like Harry Potter). 2.Those difficult texts can really stretch your mind.
Because most of the people mentioned grew up in a different era, they spent a big portion of their time just reading the encyclopedia (百科全书). Many of them would eventually read every encyclopedia volume letter. These people had a strong need to learn new things.
Play-acting
At an early age, most of these people spent more time play-acting than others. Very few of these people spent their time playing organized sports---they instead were in their bedroom, backyard, or nearby park playing by themselves. 3.
Experimenting
It is amazing how many successful people lit things on fire, blew things up, caught and studied bugs, built bird nests, and more. 4. And they were the ones in charge of the experiment.
Creating vs. Consuming (消费)
Watching wonderful movies, listening to music, etc. are all great ways to spend time. 5.
Most of these successful people spent a large percentage of their time creating. They were building things, starting things, etc. This is really important.
A. Read things that challenge your thought.
B. Today it is harder to spend time creating.
C. They were letting their imagination run wild.
D. They were building, creating, viewing, and observing.
E. But they are passive --- these are consuming functions.
F. Most of these people had parents that asked them to read less.
G. I am nowhere near as successful as most of the people on this list.
Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test---unless the person cheats again.
People lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and may be at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a good reason for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before the day and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with you parents about how to balance swimming and school.
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.

China is known as a state of manners and ceremony (礼节). Many proverbs have been passed down from generation to generation eg. “Polite behavior costs nothing” or “Showing respect demands reciprocity (相互)” and so on. For instance, there is an interesting short story. Once upon a time, a man went on a long tour to visit his friend with a swan as a gift. But it escaped from the cage on the way. Though he tried hard, he got hold of nothing but a feather (羽毛). Instead of returning home, he continued his journey with the swan feather. When his friend received this unexpected gift, he was deeply moved. And the saying “The gift is nothing much, but it’s the thought that counts” was spread far and wide.
Chinese used to cup one hand in the other before the chest as a greeting. This tradition has a history of more than 2, 000 years and nowadays it is seldom used except in the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular on some formal occasions. Bowing, as to show respect to the higher level, is often used by the lower like subordinates (下级), students, and attendants. But at present Chinese youngsters prefer to simply nod as a greeting. To some degree this development shows the ever-increasing paces of modern life.
It is common social practice to introduce the junior to the senior, or the familiar to the unfamiliar. When you start a talk with a stranger, the topics such as weather, food, or hobbies may be good choices to break the ice. For a man, a chat about current affairs, sports, stock market or his job can usually go on smoothly. Similar to Western customs, you should be careful to ask a woman private questions. However, relaxing talks about her job or family life will never put you into danger. She is usually glad to offer you some advice on how to cook Chinese food or get used to local life. Things will be quite different when you’ve gotten to know them. Though Chinese are said to be implicit (含蓄的), they are actually humorous enough to be pleased about the jokes of Americans.
