Study Habit #1 - Go to your lectures.
学习习惯#1——去听讲座。
For the first 2 years of Oxford, I went to maybe 4 lectures out of hundreds available. I was arrogant, foolish, lazy, and severely disadvantaging myself.
在牛津的前两年，有数百场讲座，而我大概只去了4场。我很自负、愚蠢、懒惰，严重地害了自己。
In my third year, I went to almost every singlelecture available. Including those involving topics Iwas not personally involved or interested in.
大三时几乎每场讲座我都去，包括我涉及不到的或不感兴趣的话题。
My mind changed when I actually went to lectures.
去听讲座以后我的想法变了。
Firstly, lectures are FUN! Sure, some of them suck. But I found so many gems that influencedmy thinking. I found so many passionate, knowledgeable speakers who got me excitedabout the topic.
首先，讲座很有趣!当然有些讲座很差劲，但我发现了很多影响我思想的有价值的讲座，我发现了很多有激情有学识的演讲者，他们使我对那个话题都感兴趣了。

For my first year at Oxford, I barely said anything in tutorials. I didn’t volunteer in discussionsand, as a result, I didn’t understand much.

My understandings of different texts never matured or became complex. They stayed thesame. And they were often wrong.
我对不同文本的理解一直都不成熟，也不深刻，理解能力一如从前，也经常是错的。
Then, somewhere in the middle of my second year, I got over myself and offered more of myown opinions. I responded to others, asked thoughtful questions, and interacted way more.
后来大二期中的一段时间我开始超越自己，更多地提出自己的想法，响应其他人，问有深度的问题，和别人的互动也多了。
