辜鸿铭10岁时就随他的义父——英人布朗踏上苏格兰的土地，被送到当地一所著名的中学，受极严格的英国文学训练。课余的时间，布朗就亲自教辜鸿铭学习德文。布朗的教法略异于西方的传统倒像是中国的私塾。他要求辜鸿铭随他一起背诵歌德的长诗《浮士德》。布朗告诉辜鸿铭：“在西方有神人，却极少有圣人。神人生而知之，圣人学而知之。西方只有歌德是文圣，毛奇是武圣。要想把德文学好，就必须背熟歌德的名著《浮士德》。”他总是比比划划地边表演边朗诵，要求辜鸿铭模仿着他的动作背诵始终说说笑笑，轻松有趣。辜鸿铭极想知道《浮士德》书里讲的是什么，但布朗坚持不肯逐字逐句地讲解。他说：“只求你读得熟，并不求你 听得懂。听懂再背，心就乱了，反倒背不熟了。等你把《浮士德》倒背如流之时我再讲给你听吧！”半年多的工夫辜鸿铭稀里胡涂地把一部《浮士德》大致背了下 来。

In the school teach him
it is far honourable to fail than to cheat...
Teach him to have faith in his own ideas,
even if everyone tells him they are wrong...
Teach him to be gentle with gentle people,
and tough with the tough.
Teach him,if you can,
the wonder of books...
But also give him quiet time to ponder
the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,
bees in the sun,
and the flowers on a green hillside.
Teach him to sel
A Letter to Me at 17
Dear Hilary,
Don't worry about being an outsider.You work so hard to be friends
with girls who don't want to be around you.But
don't
When things get tough,just remember that THIS
IS A NECESSARY CHAPTER IN YOUR LIFE THAT'S UNFOLDING EXACTLY AS IT
SHOULD.Someday you'll be living your dream but will still
hear 'no' - and you'll still have to work hard and constantly prove
yourself.But you can't let someone else's 'no' define you,and you
can't depend on one person or thing to make you happ
