1 A college diploma does not mean you are educated. Quite the contrary, it means that you have been opened up to a perpetual state of ignorance and thus a lifelong hunger for more ----more ideas, more knowledge, more good thoughts, more challenges, more of everything.

2 Queues are a grim reality of city life. While there seems to be no consensus on the city’s worst line, the ones mentioned most often in talks here and there were lunchtime lines at banks and post offices and, among younger people, movie lines and college-registration lines.

In any line the fundamental rule is first come, first served, or what social scientists call “distributive justice”.

3 Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations. Others say that the opposite is true：that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourages international brotherhood.

Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. In the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.

4 It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human beings are divided into two classes：first, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure；and secondly, those whose work and pleasure are one. Of these the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms. But Fortune’s favoured children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation. Yet to both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.

5 This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men, who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for younger women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the burdened.

If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all, however, it seems imperative, not only that communications in transport should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite.

6 Numerous studies indicate that inactivity may also have detrimental effects on mind and body alike. Cognitive scientists recognize that mind is body, and body is mind. The most beneficial forms of exercise, scientists point out, engage both.
