Firewood was passing -- that was how I saw it. It was only that one day I happened to be walking behind them, and the curious up-and-down motion of a load of wood drew my attention to the human being beneath it.

Lesson11. The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy.It is no easy job to educate a people who have been told over centuries that they were inferior and of no importance to see that they are humans, the same as any other people.2. Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery.If you break the mental shackles imposed on you by white supremacists, if you really respect yourself, thinking that you are a Man, equal to anyone else, you will be able to take part in the struggle against racial discrimination.3. The Negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink of assertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation.The liberation of mind can only be achieved by the Negro himself/herself. Only when he/she is fully convinced that he/she is a Man/Woman and is not inferior to anyone else, can he/she throw off the manacles of self-abnegation and become free.4. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.Power in the best form of function is the carrying out of the demands of justice with love and justice in the best form of function is the overcoming of everything standing in the way of love with power.5. At that time economic status was considered the measure of the individual’s ability and talents.At that time, the way to evaluate how capable and resourceful a person was to see how much money he had made (or how wealthy he was).6. …the absence of worldly goods indicated a want of industrious habits and moral fiber.A person was poor because he was lazy and not hard-working and lacked a sense of right and wrong.7. It is not the work of slaves driven to their tasks either by the task, by the taskmaster, or by animal necessity.This kind of work cannot be done by slaves who work because the work has to be done, because they are forced to work by slave-drivers or because they need to work in order to be fed and clothed.8. …when the unjust measurement of human worth on the scale of dollars is eliminated.…when the unfair practice of judhing human calue by the amount of money a person has irs done away with.9. He who hates does not know God, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality.Those who harbor hate in their hearts cannot grasp the teachings of God. Only those who have love can enjoy the ultimate happiness in Heaven.10. Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have a high blood pressure ofcreeds and an anemia of deeds.Let us be dissatisfied until America no longer only talk about racial equality but is unwilling or reluctant to take action to end such evil practice as racial discrimination.

But at the same time I felt good, relieved, because those nasty things had been suppressed in my heart for some time and they had got out at last. 5.

The lid to the piano was closed, shutting out the dust, my misery, and her dreams.When the lid to the piano was closed, it shut out the dust and also put an end to my misery.Lesson 31. Yet globali zation… ―is a reality, not a choice‖.Yet globalization is not something that you can accept or reject, it is already a matter of life which you will encounter and have to respond to every day.2. Popular factions sprout to exploit nationalist anxieties.Political groups with broad support have come into being to take advantage of existing worries and uneasiness among the people about foreign ―cultural assault‖. 3. …where xenophobia and economic ambition have often struggled for the upper hand……in China, the two trends of closed—door and open—door policies have long been struggling for dominance.4. Those people out there should continue to live in a museum while we will have showers that work.The Chinese people should continue to live a backward life while we live comfortably with all modern conveniences.5. Westernization… is a phenomenon shot with inconsistencies and populated by verystrange bedfellows.…westernization is a concept full of self—contradiction and held by people of very different backgrounds or views.6. You don’t have to be cool to do it; you just have to have the eye.In trying to find out what will be the future trend, you do not need to be fashionable yourself. All you need is awareness, that is to say, you need to be on the alert, to be observant.7.

In the first two weeks of business the Gucci Store took in a surprising ＄100,000. The Gucci store did not expect that in the first two weeks of its opening in Shanghai business could be so good.9. Early on I realized that I was going to need some type of compass to guide me through the wilds of global culture.From the very beginning I know I need some theory as guideline to help me in my study of global cultures as globalization, to guide me through such a variety of cultural phenomena.10. The penitence may have been Jewish, but the aspiration was universal.The way of showing repentance might be peculiar to the Jews, but the strong desire of gaining forgiveness from God is common, shared by all.Lesson 41. Pianos and models, Paris, Vienna and Berlin, masters and mistresses, are not needed by a writer.If you want to be musician or painter, you must own a piano or hire models, and you have to visit or even live in culture centers like Paris, Vienna and Berlin. And also you have to be taught by masters and mistresses. However, if you want to be a writer, you don’t ne ed all this.2. She would have plucked the heart out of my writing.Those conventional attitudes would have taken away the most important part of my writing, the essence of my writing.3. Thus, whenever I felt the shadow of her wing or the radiance of her halo upon my page, I took up the inkpot and flung it at her.Thus, whenever I felt the influence of the Victorian attitudes on my writing, I fought back with all my power.4. For though men sensibly allow themselves great freedom in theses respects, I doubt that they realize or can control the extreme severity with which they condemn such freedom in women. It was a sensible thing for men to given themselves great freedom to talk about the body and their passions. But if women want to have the same freedom, men condemn such freedom in women. And I do not believe that they realize how severely they condemn such freedom in women, nor do I believe that they can control their extremely sever condemnation of such freedom in women.5. Indeed it will be a long time still, I think, before a woman can sit down to write abook without finding a phantom to be slain, a rock to be dasher against.It will take a long time for women to rid themselves of false values and attitudes and to overcome the obstacle to telling the truth about their body and passions.6. Even when the path is nominally open—when there is nothing to prevent a woman from being a doctor, a lawyer, a civil servant—there are many phantoms and obstacles, as I believe looming in her way.Even when the path is open to women in name only, when outwardly there is nothing to prevent a woman from being a doctor, a lawyer, a civil servant, inwardly there are still false ideas and obstacles impeding a woman’s progress.7.

(The optimists figure) Those who are optimistic think that as time goes on, they will someday get the signal sent out by an alien civilization.4. (That’s what we need) Originally, we regard our w orld as the only one in the universe which is inhabited by intelligent humans, but we need to change our view and regard this world as one of many in the universe.5. (True believers and skeptics) Neither those who genuinely believe that space aliens are lurking in our midst nor those who firmly reject such an idea are likely to change their views and join the other side.6. (The alien is a Hollywood) The alien is a character used too much in Hollywood films so it has become hackneyed but the idea of extraterrestrial life was not first brought up by Hollywood.7. (…the absence of detectable) …the fact that no life had been detected on Mars was a terrible blow to exobiology which did not recover from the blow in the following twenty years.8. (Everyone realized the historical) Everyone knew that if what appeared to be microfossils were confirmed to be such, then the discovery would be of historic significance; but if they proved to be something else, the adverse effect that followed would be equally dramatic.9. (…if you rewound the tape) …if the evolution on Earth were to take place a second time, a human being who is genetically similar to us would be the result of such evolution.10. (So before we worry about) Since there is no much work we need to do here in this world, let us first concentrate on doing some solid research and drop discussions about drafting messages to another civilization out there.Lesson 11.
