Lesson88 Trapped in a mine
Six men have been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours. If they are not brought to the surface soon they may lose their lives. However, rescue operations are proving difficult. If explosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof of the mine to collapse. Rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine. They intend to bring the men up in a special capsule. If there had not been a hard layer of rock beneath the soil, they would have completed the job in a few hours. As it is, they have been drilling for sixteen hours and they still have a long way to go. Meanwhile, a microphone, which was lowered into the mine two hours ago, has enabled the men to keep in touch with the closest relatives. Though they are running out of food and drink, the men are cheerful and confident that they will soon get out. They have been told that rescue operations are progressing smoothly. If they knew how difficult it was to drill through the hard rock, they would lose heart.

练习感悟：
总结一下近期的行动感悟，行动需要慢慢来，在有很多事情想做的情况下更应该注意。现在我给自己安排的任务有：笔译训练、朗读训练、每天读书一小时、学习写作，一天下来的确是做了不少事情，但效率怎样自己知道。除了放在前面做的任务，可以保证精力充沛、全神贯注的去投入，越到后面的任务越觉得犯困，精力没办法聚集，效率低到不想讲什么，因此学了那么多，实际上能吸收的不多。把读书放在早上，我可以带着比较好的思考能力，读完20多页书然后进行整理；但是放在后面读，一小时看下来打瞌睡就有二十多分钟，看到新的有深度的名词理解起来比较缓慢，一小时下来看了七八页纸。就如S说的那句话一样，欲望需要适可而止。在把一件事情做好的方面，做到永无止境。先做好一件事，稳定了再挂载别的事。
一句话，就是干。
