I certainly got my mind stretched! I think my mind was shrinking.

Keep the old gray matter from getting stagnant! Acrobatics troupe. Plat-spinning.

The movement really takes my breath away. Lion dance.

I was in raptures every minute of it. It was full of thrills. Each boy and girl takes pride in learning the newest dances. Get hold of tickets. Do this one way or another. (whatever)

He crams a thousand activities into what he calls “just a second.” The busier the better-that’s R.R. ‘s motto. He tries to beat the clock. The alarm buzzes; he jumps up, washes quickly, snatches a piece of toast, gulps down a cup of coffee, and crams for his classes.

He uses these three fleeting minutes to proofread his homework.

Send greeting cards and get-well cards for special occasions.

Sometimes I wonder if R.R. ever tries to slow down his pace. He says that he would like to stop the world and get off but that he doesn’t have time. I don’t know if that is true…only time will tell.

The importance of punctuality.

Promptness is important in American business, academic, and social settings.
