Creative
Applying for my first job，I realized I had to be creative in listing my few d about additional schooling and training，I answered truthfully that I had spent three years in computer programming classes. I got the job.
I had neglected to mention that I took the same course for three years before I passed.
創造性
在一次求職時，我意識到在列舉我所具備的為數不多的條件時，得有點創造性。當問及我是否受過其他的倍訓時，我老實地回答說我花了三年時間學計算機程式設計課。我得到了那份工作。
我沒有提到那門功課我重複學了三年才考及格。
Prepare Yourself
A story around campus has it that a student once sent a telegram to his parents reading:"Mo-flunked all courses. Kicked out of are Pop."
Two days later he received a response:"Pop prepared. Prepare yourself.”
自己做好準備
校園裡流傳著這樣的故事:一個學生一次給父母拍了一份電報，上面寫著:“媽媽—我所有功課都不及格，被學校開除了。讓爸爸做好準備。”
兩天以後，他收到了回電:“爸爸已準備好。你自己做好準備吧!”

教授趣事
理查德·艾倫非常健忘，以至於有時候他會忘記自己在說什麼，因此他的妻子不得不經常提醒他去赴約，去上課—甚至去吃飯。可是作為一名知名大學的教授，艾倫的健忘症卻經常讓他很難堪。但這並不像一些吹毛求疵的人說的那樣是因為他並不聰明，他只不過非常、非常健忘。
在一個炎熱的夏日，艾倫教授打算帶上他的孩子們到海灘去。去海邊小鎮大約得坐三個小時的火車。為了讓這次旅行更有趣，他一直沒告訴孩子小鎮的名字。不幸得很，當艾倫到達火車站的時候，這個可憐的'健忘的人把目的地忘得一乾二淨了。不過幸虧他的一個朋友恰好在火車站，於是他幫助艾倫照顧孩子們，而艾倫則回家問問他到底要去哪兒。
教授的妻子見他這麼快就回來了，感到非常吃驚，但當她知道事情始末的時候卻被逗樂了。她信不過丈夫的記憶力，於是就把小鎮的名字寫在一張紙上。當解決完問題之後，她滿意地目送丈夫又一次離去。但是十分鐘之後他又回到了門外，她大吃一驚。現在又怎麼了?原來是教授忘了他把孩引門留在哪兒了。
