Passage 3 Harvest from learning to repair cars

江蘇 許耀勻

Today,I attended a car-repairing class.When I had a first glimpse of the circuity map （電流圖）,I felt at a loss,for there were a great many strange and complicated elements staring at me silently.Fortunately,with my teacher's aid,I managed to distinguish the positive pole of batteries from the negative one and master the basic use of multimeter（萬用表）.

Nevertheless,what impressed me most was far more than the knowledge I obtained.It was a spirit called“STAY HUNGRY,STAY FOOLISH”.

As Steve Jobs puts it,everyone should be ready to learn,whatever he is.Despite the poor conditions in the basement,we listened to the teacher attentively and took notes carefully.There came our turn and we cooperated with each other for fear of making a tiny mistake.Only if everything was handled properly could we take a short break,which even moved our teacher.It was such a persistent spirit that contributed to our growth in full measure.

From my perspective,it doesn't really matter how much we've obtained since we must acknowledge that one day was too short to master a skill.However,the spirit of“STAY HUNGRY,STAY FOOLISH”should be memorized for the honor of the youth.
