Between the preparation and the work,the apprenticeship (学徒期) and the actual dealing with a task or an art,there comes,in the experience of many young men,a period of uncertainty and wandering which is often misunderstood and counted as time wasted. 1       It is natural for courageous youth to know what is in life,what it means,and what it holds for its children. Behind every real worker in the world is a real man,and a man has a right to know the conditions under which he must live,and the choices of knowledge,power,and activity which are offered him. 2       It is the experience of traveling from knowledge to knowledge and from occupation to occupation.

The forces which go to the making of a powerful man can rarely be adjusted and blended without some disturbance of relations and conditions. This disturbance is sometimes injurious,because it affects the moral foundations upon which character rests. 3       The birth of the imagination and of the passions,the perception of the richness of life,and the consciousness of the possession of the power to master and use that wealth,create a critical moment in the history of youth. 4       Agitation and ferment of soul are inevitable in that wonderful moment. There are times when agitation is as normal as selfcontrol at less critical times. 5       And that in its ferment and uncertainty youth is often guided to and finally prepared for its task.

   A. It is considered richer in possibilities of all kinds than that comes at any later period.

   B. However,the wasted time will never be found back.

Several days ago,something happened taught me a lot. My brother accompanied me to the supermarket. We planned to buy some daily necessities. When we stood in front of the counter with the basket full of that we need,it was then that I realized I forgot to take the money which was left over on my bed. Finally,we had to walk home disappointing.

I felt sorry about it. And my brother comforted me,saying, "It doesn't matter. It seems to be a bad thing,but actually it can be a beneficial thing. It can make you to realize that we should get good prepared before we do everything."
