第三十九天：WORK WHILE YOU WORK, PLAY WHILE YOU PLAY 工作时工作，游玩时游玩

Both work and play are necessary to us; the former gives us knowledge while the latter (gives) rest. An English proverb is well said: “Work while you work play while you play.” It makes our life pleasant, efficient and successful.Work is one thing and play is another. It is of course not good to work all day long. However, it is also not good to play all day long. While you work, you should work in earnest. Then while you play, you will feel more relaxed and pleasant. That goes without saying.

工作和游玩两者对我们都是必须的，前者给我们知识，后者给我们休息。英谚说得好“工作时工作，游玩时游玩”。它使我们的生活愉快，有效率以及成功。工作是一回事，游玩又是另一回事。整日工作自然不好。然而，整天游玩也是不好。当你工作时，你应认真工作。那末当你游玩时，你会觉得比较轻松愉快。那是不需说的。

第四十天：MY FAVORITE PASTIME 我心爱的消遣

It goes without saying that work without rest will do harm to health. In other words, we had better take sufficient recreation to relax after work.There is no doubt that there are a number of amusements, such as playing ball games, collecting stamps, fishing, gardening, skating and so on. From hxw.red.

As for (to) me, I take great delight in gardening. Whenever I am at leisure, I am accustomed to growing flowers. I regard them as my most agreeable companion.

不需说，工作而不休息会对健康有害的。换句话说，我们最好工作后，从事分的消遣来轻松一下。无疑的，消遣的种类很多，诸如打球，集邮，钓鱼，园艺，溜冰等等。

就我而言，我大大喜欢园艺。每当我有闲暇的时候，我习惯于种花。我把它们看作是我最称心如意的伴侣。

第四十一天：FACTORS OF SUCCESS 成功要素

I would rather suffer hardships than fail. In other words, to achieve success is my only desire. We all know that there are many factors of success. Now let me write down the most important ones in the following.

Diligence—Foolish as a person is, he can succeed in his work if he works hard. That does not admit of any doubt.

Perseverance—When you fail, don’t lose heart. Keep on working until you accomplish your aim.

Honesty—If you tell lies or does not keep your words, no one will rely on you. I would rather be scolded than cheat (others).

我宁愿受苦难不愿失败。换句话说，获致成功是我唯一的愿望。我们大家知道成功要素很多。现在让我们把它们最重要的写在下面。

勤勉――一个人虽然不大聪明，但是他地能做成他的工作，如果他苦干的话。那是不容置疑的。

毅力――当你失败的时候，不要灰心。要继续工作，直到你达到目的为止。

诚实――如果你说谎或不守信，没有人会信赖你。我宁愿挨骂不愿欺骗人。

第四十一天：MY AIM 我的志向

Whatever a man’s status is (may be), he must have an aim. If not, he can hardly stand on his own two feet in the world. That stands to reason.However important fame and wealth may be, we must not let them become our object in life. We should aim at doing something useful to the society.If my aim can come true, I hope (wish) to be a teacher. However, teaching is by no means an easy thing. I must apply myself closely to my studies so as to be able to cope with my duties (as a teacher).
