Three years ago when I was still in the university, I also worke d at a restaurant.
An old man named Mr. Candido Filio was one of our regular c ustomers at the restaurant. He was one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever known.
Every Sunday the Philippine Star Newspaper had a special p age for word puzzles and among his peers (同龄
人), Mr. Filio held the record for solving all the puzzles in less than five minutes. He encouraged me to solve them too and f or months and months, I did my best to beat him but failed.
Then one Sunday, I did it! I was able to complete them before anyone else. Everyone cheered for me. He came up to me wi th a smile and said, “No one has ever beaten me before. You’re the first. I’ll have a prize for you tomorrow.”
The next day, he gave me a special Scrabble (拼字游
戏) set. I would have never been able to afford one like that b y myself. Then he said to me, “Kate, what do you think is man ’s final goal in life? Happiness, isn’t it? You are happy and tha t should be considered as a success. Many people spend a lif etime searching for that. Be thankful that you have found it.” I looked at him and knew that my life had changed, probably fo rever. He must have known that I always felt sad about not ha ving much money.
He encouraged me to learn the game and love words. And tru
e to his words, I was never able to beat him again.

We all love our children and we all know how competitive the world is these days. What’s it going to be like when our childr en leave school? Will they have the skills they need to stay ah ead of the competition?
All children need two basic skills to succeed. They must be ab
le to read and they must be able to write. And with so much in formation available to them these days, they must be able to r ead quickly and accurately. That’s why your children need to be able to speed-read.
It’s ironic (讽刺的) that at this time of space-
age technology, we’ve gone back to one of the earliest forms of mass communication—
the written word. The Internet has introduced a revival (重新流行) of writing, and if you can’t keep up, you’ll be left behind. Y ou certainly don’t want your children to be left behind.
You can help to make sure that your children are excellent wri ters—
you can help them to learn how to use their language. Better still, you can learn with them!
You and your children can spend time together in a worthwhil e pursuit (事业)—
learning how to write. Forget the theme parks, the computer g ames, the expensive movies and interesting sports. If you wa nt your children to have treasured memories of time spent wit h you, learn together.
For less than you would pay for tickets to a theme park, you c an invest in your children’s future—

Don’t stand by while your child is left further and further behin
