your

time

carefully.

Make

a

list

of

your

weekly

tasks.

Then

make

a

schedule

or

chart

of

your

time.

Fill

in

committed

time

such

as

eating,

sleeping,

meetings,

classes,

etc.

Then

decide

on

good,

regular

times

for

studying.

Be

sure

to

set

aside

enough

time

to

complete

your

normal

reading

and

work

assignments.

Of

course,

studying

shouldn't

occupy

all

of

the

free

time

on

the

schedule.

It's

important

to

set

aside

time

for

relaxation,

hobbies,

and

entertainment

as

well.

This

weekly

schedule

may

not

solve

all

of

your

problems,

but

it

will

make

you

more

aware

of

how

you

spend

your

time.

Furthermore,

it

will

enable

you

to

plan

your

activities

so

that

you

have

adequate

time

for

both

work

and

play.2The

years

passed.

He

gave

up

flying

and

began

sailing.

He

enjoyed

it

greatly.

Chichester

was

already

58

years

old

when

he

won

the

first

solo

transatlantic

sailing

race.

His

old

dream

of

going

round

the

world

came

back,

but

this

time

he

would

sail.

His

friends

and

doctors

did

not

think

he

could

do

it,

as

he

had

lung

cancer.

But

Chichester

was

determined

to

carry

out

his

plan.

In

August,

1963,

at

the

age

of

nearly

sixty-five,

an

age

when

many

men

retire,

he

began

the

greatest

voyage

of

his

life.

Soon,

he

was

away

in

this

new

16-metre

boat,

Gipsy

Moth.The

old

lady

was

eight

today.

She

had

put

on

her

best

dress.

Perhaps--perhaps

Myra

might

come.

After

all,

eighty

was

a

special

birthday,

another

decade

lined

or

endured

just

as

you

chose

to

look

at

it.

Even

if

Myra

did

not

come,

she

would

send

a

present.

The

old

lady

was

sure

of

that.

Two

spots

of

colour

brightened

her

cheeks.

She

was

excited--like

a

child.

She

would

enjoy

her

day.

Let

us

take

a

serious,

reasonable

look

at

what

the

results

be

if

such

a

proposal

were

accepted.

Families

might

use

the

time

for

a

real

family

hour.

Without

the

distraction

of

TV,

they

might

sit

around

together

after

dinner

and

actually

talk

to

one

another.

It

is

well

known

that

many

of

our

problems

--

everything,

in

fact,

from

the

generation

gap

to

the

high

divorce

rate

to

some

forms

of

mental

illness

--

are

caused

at

least

in

part

by

failure

to

communicate.

We

do

not

tell

each

other

what

is

disturbing

us.

The

result

is

emotional

difficulty

of

one

kind

or

another.

By

using

the

quiet

family

hour

to

discuss

our

problems,

we

might

get

to

know

each

other

better,

and

to

like

each

other

better5The

next

morning

my

sisters

and

I

woke

up

at

six.

Then

we

raced

downstairs

to

the

fireplace.

And

there

they

were,

the

gifts,

all

sorts

of

wonderful

things,

mixed-up

piles

of

presents.

Only

my

stocking

was

empty;

it

hung

limp;

not

a

thing

in

it;

and

under

and

around

it

--

nothing.

My

sisters

had

knelt

down,

each

by

her

pile

of

gifts;

they

were

crying

with

delight,

till

they

looked

up

and

saw

me

standing

there

looking

so

miserable.

They

came

over

to

me

and

felt

my

stocking:

nothing.6After

graduation

I

returned

home

to

my

small

town

in

Indiana.

I

didn't

have

a

job

yet.

Mr.

Hobbs,

a

friend

of

my

father's,

owned

a

small

shirt

factory

in

town.

Within

the

past

five

years

it

had

grown

from

twenty

to

eighty

workers.

Mr.

Hobbs

was

worried

that

his

plant

was

getting

too

big

and

inefficient,

so

he

asked

me

to

come

in

on

a

short-term

basis

as

a

consultant.7All

the

time

it

was

quite

evident

that

he

sincerely

believed

that

he

might

eventually

buy

one

of

these

puddings,

and

I

am

positive

that

he

did

not

for

a

moment

feel

that

he

was

in

any

way

cheating

the

store.

Poor

old

chap!

Probably

he

had

come

down

in

the

world

and

this

sampling

was

all

that

was

left

him

from

the

time

when

he

could

afford

to

come

and

select

his

favorite

pudding.8Now

suddenly

she

began

to

sob,

holding

herself

in

as

if

weeping

were

a

disgrace.

Homer

wanted

to

get

up

and

run,

but

he

knew

he

would

stay.

He

even

thought

he

might

stay

the

rest

of

his

life.

He

just

didn't

know

what

else

to

do

to

try

to

make

the

woman

less

unhappy,

and

if

she

had

asked

him

to

take

the

place

of

her

son,

he

would

not

have

been

able

to

refuse,

because

he

would

not

have

known

how.

He

got

to

his

feet,

as

if

by

standing

he

meant

to

begin

correcting

what

could

not

be

corrected

and

then

he

knew

the

foolishness

of

this

intention

and

became

more

awkward

than

ever.

In

his

heart

he

was

saying

over

and

over

again,

"What

can

I

do

What

the

hell

can

I

do

I'm

only

the

messenger."

9Scientists

hope

that

if

we

can

discover

how

the

brain

works,

the

better

use

we

will

be

able

to

put

it

to.

For

example,

how

do

we

learn

language?

Man

differs

most

from

all

the

other

animals

in

his

ability

to

learn

and

use

language

but

we

still

do

not

know

exactly

how

this

is

dine.

Some

children

learn

to

speak

and

read

and

write

when

they

are

very

young

compared

to

average

children.

But

scientists

are

not

sure

why

this

happens.

They

are

trying

to

find

out

whether

there

is

something

about

the

way

we

teach

language

to

children

which

in

fact

prevents

children

from

learning

sooner.10Then

Brunswick

was

10

miles,

and

then

five.

Then,

suddenly,

all

of

the

young

people

were

up

out

of

their

seats,

screaming

and

shouting

and

crying,

doing

small

dances

of

joy.

All

except

VingoVingo

there

stunned,
