So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his hometown. “There ' s so much to learn, ” he ' d say.“Though we' re born stupid, only the stupid remainthat way. ” He decided that none of his children would be refused an education.Therefore, Stanley in sisted that we should lear n at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, we' d still do that . And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we learned. We would talk about the news of the day. Sometimes the news was unimportant, but it was always take n seriously. Stanley would liste n carefully and discuss it with us. Then came the moment— the time to share the day ' s new learning."Felice, ” he ' d say, “tell me what you learned today. ”“ I lear ned that the populati on of Denmark is .... ”Sile nee.Stanley was thinking about what was said.“The population of Denmark. Hmm. Well …” he ' dsay. r “Get the map let ' s see where Denmark is. ” And the whole family went on a search for Denmark.This same experienee was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear un dersta nding of at least half a doze n such facts.As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharingexperiences and joining in one another' s education. And by lookingat us, liste ning to us, respect ing what we lear ned, confirming our value, Stanley was surely our most in flue ntial teacher.Later during mytraining as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting( 传授)what Stanley knew all along — the value of continual learning. His skills have served me well all my life. Not a sin gle day has bee n wasted, though I can n ever tell whe n knowing the populatio n of Denmark might prove useful.34.

I' m talking aboutthinking it out for yourself, "What makes you happy? ”You have to think outside the box. That 's what I believe, after all. What's the point oft break the law,but break the rules.I remember that after I had fini shed with my bodybuild ing career I wan ted to act. I wan tedto be a star in films.

That shows you should trust yourselfno matter what anyone else thin ks.On that movie, the director said, “If we didn ' t have Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one. ” Then when I did The Terminator （终结者）,I said, “I ' ll be back…” One of the famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy acce nt （腔调）.It just shows that you should n everlisten to those who say you can ' t do something.Don' t be afraid to fail. In everything that I have tried, I ' ve always been willing to fail.Don' t be afraid of making decisions. You can ' t be paralyzed（吓倒）with the fear of failure oryou will n ever push yourself.
