I remember as a small child people would often ask me, "What are you going to be when you grow up?"
Well, it being a cowboy or some super hero. Later it was a fireman, a policeman, a lawyer... As I grew older my dreams for the future . When, at last, I was in college, I had my set on becoming a preacher (

I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his .

A week later, l was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He to be expecting me. “If I gave you the As you , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”
I stared at him, that his analysis and strategy (策略) were correct. I had worked my head , as I had never done before.
I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.
