So, the world became his school.With great interest, he read everything he could, listened to the town elders andlearned about the world beyond his hometown.“There’s so much to learn,” he’d say.“Though we’re born stupid,only the stupid remain that way.” He decided that none of his children would be refused an education.Therefore, Stanley insisted that we should learn at least one new thing each day.Though, as children,we thought this was crazy, w e’d still do that . And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we learned. We would talk about the news of theday. Sometimes the news was unimportant,but it was always taken seriously.Stanley would listen 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 learned that the population of Denmark is ....”Silence.Stanley was thinking about what was said.“The population of Denmark. Hmm.Well ⋯” he ’d say.“Get the map ,let ’s see where Denmark is.” And the whole family went on a search for Denmark.This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinnerended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children,we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and joining in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting what we learned,confirming our value, Stanley was surely our most influential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the mostfamous educators. They were imparting(授) what Stanley knew all along — the value of continual learning.His skills have served me well all my life.Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Denmark might prove useful.34.

I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.Deep, deep down as k myself,“Who do you want to be?” Not what, but who. I’m talking about thinking it out for yourself,“What makes you happy?”You have to think outside the box. That the point of being on this Earth if all’s what I believe, after all. What’s you want to be is be killed and avoid trouble?We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Don’t break the law, but break the rules.I remember that after I had finished with my bodybuilding career I wanted toact. I wanted to be a star in films. Everyone had the same thought that I couldn ’t be done. They said,“Look at this body, you have this huge monstrous( 巨大的 )body, you’re overly developed. ”They thought I wouldn’t f it into movies. But I didn ’t listen to them. Those were their rules. I was completely certain that I could doit.Then I got my big break （重要机）in Conanthe Barbarian . That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.On that movie, the director said,“If we didn ’t have Schwarzenegger,we would have to build one.” Then when I did The Terminator (者), I said,“I’ll beback⋯” One of the famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy accent（声调） . It just shows that you should never listen to those who say you can’tdo 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 or you will never push yourself. You can push becauseyou believe in yourself and your imagination.
