My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as t
24、he 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 to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard.
25、 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 releva nt to the problem of how much time we have. If you analyze the matter, you
26、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 product thats important. That led me to a new idea
27、: 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. Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea. If you cant get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That m
28、eans thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”. Then, as a smart student, you will seek to imp
