Randy locked himself in the bathroom，while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks，although they were before their very
13、 eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.By ten oclock，things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his tal
14、ent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. Randy，thankfully，appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.

18、hoolwork. My reply is often a brief You have as much time as the president. I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that not enough time is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done. Once in graduate school, I tried to prove
19、 to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, Thats irrelevant (无关的). Whats important is the quality of your work. Since then I have had time to think carefully about the hard worker dodge (诀窍), and I have come to some conclusions- all relevant to the problem of h
20、ow much time we have. If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of time, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of work during that time. But, as my professor suggested, its not how hard one works but the quality of the p
21、roduct thats important. That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someones office: Dont work harder.
