An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musician_________________________________
There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young.I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art.I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed.Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture my talent and the talents of other students in our school._____________________________
Yes.We’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs.Young people haven’t been able to equate romance and talent with music.For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good.How they sound is secondary.Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald — those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’t make it in today’s music industry, and that’s a shame.We need to teach young people about the alternatives.______________________________
Around the world people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like the cadence of their language.I’d call it folk music.When I’m away from home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what’s on the radio._______________________________
The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming.Even the pop music that’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, which underscore funk.As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over.Any music that doesn’t have a development section just isn’t interesting to me._________________________________
The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it.Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don’t cover it unless it’s a big name.New jazz musicians don’t get much of break.A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis.That’s a shame.What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal.They’re getting all these instruments out to needy kids.It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.
In an online class, developing healthy patterns of communication with professors is very important.(1) While I have only listed two of each, there are obviously many other situations that can arise. Students should be able to extend the logic(逻辑)of each to their particular circumstance.
Do's
• (2) Questions about subject content are generally welcomed. Before asking questions about the course design, read the syllabus(教学大纲)and learning management system information to be sure the answer isn't hiding in plain sight.
• Participate in discussion forums(论坛), blogs and other open﹣ended forums for dialogue.(3) Be sure to stay on topic and not offer irrelevant information. Make a point, and make it safe for others to do the same.
Don'ts
• Don't share personal information or stories. Professors are not trained nurses, financial aid experts or your best friends. If you are in need of a deadline extension, simply explain the situation to the professor.(4)
• Don't openly express annoyance at a professor or class. (5) When a student attacks a professor on the social media, the language used actually says more about the student. If there is truly a concern about a professor's professionalism or ability, be sure to use online course evaluations to calmly offer your comments.

Five Things Nobody Told Me about College
As I type this,I am in my university dorm room.A year ago,when I was awaiting to hear the results of my college applications,I often went to websites for some type of insider look on what college would be like.However,there's only so much that prep books,websites,and older friends can teach.Here are the top 5things nobody told me about college:
(61)
Nobody entering a university knows exactly what they want to study.If they tell you otherwise,they're lying and will probably change what they want to purse within the first quarter of attendance.During my first quarter at University of California,Riverside (UCR),I thought that I wanted to study Political Science with its focus on International Affairs,so that's what I applied for.However,once I worked with statewide and local government,I realized that a better fit for me would be Public Policy,and now I am in the process of changing my area.
(62)
In college,there are so many good chances for you to meet your expectations.However,there is a very important difference between wanting to do something and applying for something.In order for you to take advantage of the conferences,research,internships(实习),and fellowships that your university offers,apply!Step into your academic advisor's office,introduce yourself,and begin making the valuable connections that are necessary to help during the rest of your college career.Great things happen when you step out of your comfort zone,and you would be surprised on how many chances exist if you just ask.
(63)
College is where you meet your birdesmaids,neighbors,and potential bosses.The relationships you develop now will probably be linked to the ones you value later,so he wise about the people who you invest yourself in.You are only one person,and you do not have time to waste on people who would rather cause drama or mess up with your purpose.Surround yourself with uplifting individuals who challenge you to be better while loving you for who you are,and be patient to the people who are the complete opposite of that description.
(64)
As a first﹣year,I was afraid to make any noise towards campus issues that I noticed.It was not until I became involved in student government that I gained the confidence to handle projects that I created with the help of ASUCR Office of the President.During my first quarter,I spoke directly to the Chancellor(校长),asking him for support towards my initiavives(提议),met with the Vive Chancellors,and coorerated with my teaching assistances to begin my undergraduate research protect.Nothing good will happen when you are silent.
(65)
At my high school,there were about only four active club and organizations that students could be a part of.Imagine my surprise when I stepped foot onto UCR's capus,where over 400organizations exist,ranging from political organizations to karate club.You are not paying all or your tuition(学费)to merely go to class,study,pass tests and graduate.Make something worthy out of your experience.Create that you will want to tell your grandchildren one day.It all begins here,by signing up to join an organization.

FIVE WAYS TO KILL YOUR DREAMS
I dedicated the past two years to understanding how people achieve their dreams. When we think about the dreams we have, and the footprint we want to leave in the universe, it is striking to see how big of an overlap there is between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen. So I'm here to talk to you today about five ways how not to follow your dreams.______
You know the story, right? The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money. You know, the story may seem real, but I bet it's incomplete. If you go investigate further, the guy has done 30 apps before and he has done a master's on the topic, a Ph.D. He has been working on the topic for 20 years. This is really interesting. I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success. I come from a humble family, and two weeks before the deadline to apply to MIT, I started the application process. And, voila! I got in. People may think it's an overnight success, but that only worked because for the 17 years prior to that, I took life and education seriously. Your overnight success story is always a result of everything you've done in your life through that moment.______
Constantly, people want to help out, right? All sorts of people: your family, your friends, your business partners, they all have opinions on which path you should take: "And let me tell you, go through this pipe." But whenever you go inside, there are other ways you have to pick as well. And you need to make those decisions yourself. No one else has the perfect answers for your life. And you need to keep picking those decisions, right? The pipes are infinite and you're going to bump your head, and it's a part of the process.______
So when your life is going great, you have put together a great team, and you have growing revenue, and everything is set — time to settle. When I launched my first book, I worked really, really hard to distribute it everywhere in Brazil. With that, over three million people downloaded it, over 50,000 people bought physical copies. When I wrote a sequel, some impact was guaranteed. Even if I did little, sales would be okay. But okay is never okay. When you're growing towards a peak, you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak. Maybe if I did little, a couple hundred thousand people would read it, and that's great already. But if I work harder than ever, I can bring this number up to millions. That's why I decided, with my new book, to go to every single state of Brazil. And I can already see a higher peak. There's no time to settle down.______
I constantly see people saying, "Yes, I had this great idea, but no investor had the vision to invest." "Oh, I created this great product, but the market is so bad, the sales didn't go well." Or, "I can't find good talent; my team is so below expectations." If you have dreams, it's your responsibility to make them happen. Yes, it may be hard to find talent. Yes, the market may be bad. But if no one invested in your idea, if no one bought your product, for sure, there is something there that is your fault. Definitely. You need to get your dreams and make them happen. And no one achieved their goals alone. But if you didn't make them happen, it's your fault and no one else's. Be responsible for your dreams._____
Once I saw an ad, and it was a lot of friends, they were going up a mountain, it was a very high mountain, and it was a lot of work. You could see that they were sweating and this was tough. And they were going up, and they finally made it to the peak. Of course, they decided to celebrate, right? I'm going to celebrate, so, "Yes! We made it, we're at the top!" Two seconds later, one looks at the other and says, "Okay, let's go down." Life is never about the goals themselves. Life is about the journey. Yes, you should enjoy the goals themselves, but people think that you have dreams, and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams, it's a magical place where happiness will be all around. But achieving a dream is a momentary sensation, and your life is not. The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of your journey. That's the best way.
