    John is a very strong man. He gets a job of cutting(砍) trees in a forest. His boss gives him an axe and showed him the area where he should work.

    The first day, John cuts down 18 trees. "Good," the boss says, "keep it up!" happily, John  tries harder the next day, but he only cuts down 15 trees. The third day he tries even harder, but he can only cut down 10 trees. Day after day he cuts down fewer and fewer trees.

    "I must be losing my strength(力气)," John thinks. He goes to the boss to say sorry and says that he can not know what is going on. "When is the last time you sharpen(锋利) your axe?"  the boss asks. "I'm busy cutting trees, so I have no time to do it. "

    The moral of this story: While John is working hard, he doesn't work “smart”. He doesn't think about the best way to do his job.

    One day, Mr. Smith is going to take a train to his home town. When the train starts, one of his shoes falls (落下)on to the ground. The train is running faster and faster and he can't pick it up. Then he quickly takes off the other one and throws it on the ground near the fallen shoe. A little boy on the train asks him." Why do you do that?" "I've already(已经)lost one shoe. "Mr. Smith answers, "If a man picks them up, he may get a pair of shoes."

    Those days when you go on vacation, you spend most of your money just getting there. Travel is expensive, but don't stay home only because you are short of money! Here is some advice:

    Travel during off season if possible. Flights and hotels are much cheaper when tourism is low.

    Choose a hotel that's a little farther from popular attractions. If you're staying several days, check out prices on vacation homes-- they can end up being cheaper than a hotel.

    Take public traffic, such as buses or subway, instead of taking a taxi.

    Plan your meals, and cat like locals. Don't waste money at expensive hotel restaurants or fast- food chains. Depending on where you stay, it may be cheaper to make food on your own.

    Check online for special discount (折扣)—if you're a student, the old or the parents traveling with children, you could get discounts! A little research could save you a lot of money.

    Whether you're backpacking alone or going on a family vacation, your trip doesn't have to cost a lot of money. The key is to plan ahead and write down what you spend. Then put the money you save toward your next trip!
