The benefits of keeping a journal (日志)

If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. 【1】 Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.

◆ It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 【2】But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.

◆ It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. 【3】 You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.

◆ 【4】After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.

◆ It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. 【5】 In the end, you will expand your ideas.

A. I often experienced that myself.

B. It trains you to express your thoughts.

C. It allows you to see your progress over time.

D. Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.

E. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.

F. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it.

G. Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

If you need to，use the English subtitles

My mom has eyes in the back of her head．She also taught me from an early age to be suspicious of strange men, especially when they give you presents．One day, a “nice man” bearing flowers managed to steal 20 euros from her purse, while she was holding it in her hands．“He said he was collecting for a church charity so I pulled out a euro,” she explains, “He said ‘no, no, that’s too much’ and offered to look in my purse to find a smaller coin．He must have slid out that 20 euro note at the same time．I did not even notice until an hour later．I felt so stupid.”

According to neuroscientists, the key requirement for a successful pickpocket is not having nifty (熟练的) fingers, it’s having a working knowledge of the loopholes (漏洞) in our brain．The most important of these loopholes is the fact that our brains are not set up to multi-task．Most of the time that is a good thing — it allows us to filter (过滤) out all but the most important features of the world around us．But a good trickster can use it to against you．This kind of trick involves capturing all of somebody’s attention with other movements．Street pickpockets often use this effect to their advantage by manufacturing a situation that can not help but overload your attention system．Other strategies are more psychological．Pickpockets tend to hang out a “beware of pickpockets” signs, because the first thing people do when they read it is check they still have their valuables, helpfully giving away where they are．And in my mom’s case, the thief’s best trick was not coming across like a pickpocket．“He was a very nice guy and very confident．Not someone that would cause you to suspect,” she says．Apollo Robbins, a stage pickpocket, said smart move, like moving your hand in an arc (弧) motion rather than a straight line, is another popular strategy employed by tricksters．

Boys and girls! I’d like to share my swimming experience with you. My swimming experience is extreme interesting. There was a time when I swim like a rock. This went on till one day when I was fishing with a friend of mine at the pond. I slipped into it. Had my friend not come to my rescue, I would have drowned. Since then, I had come to know the important of learning to swim. I didn’t attend at any training class but learned it all by myself. Strange to say, I have no difficult swimming at all now. Though the way I swim looks awkward (笨拙的), at least it can keep me floating. Think of this, I feel quite satisfying.

Yours,

Zhang Ming
