“Advice to Youth” (1882)
(an excerpt)
by Mark Twain
Being told I would be expected to talk here, ! inquired what sort of talk I ought 10 make. They
said it should be something suitable to youth-something didactic, instructive, or something in the
nature of good advice. Very well. I have a few things in my mi
id which I have often longed to say for
the instruction of the young: for it is in one’s tender early years that such things will best take root
and be most enduring and most valuable.

First, then, I will say to you my young friends — and I say it beseechingly, urgently
Always obey your parents, when they are present. This is the best policy in the long run,
because if you dom, they will make you. Most parents think they know better than you do, and you
can generally make more by humoring that superstition than you can by acting on your own better
Judgment
Be respectful to your superiors, if you have any, also to strangers, and sometimes to others. If
a person offend you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to
extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick. That will be sufficient. If you
shall find that he had not intended any offense, come out frankly and confess yourself in the wrong
when you struck him: acknowledge it like a man and say you didn't mean to. Yes, always avoid
violence: in this age of charity and kindliness, the time has gone by for such things. Leave dynamite
10 the low and unrefined.
Go to bed early, get up early — this is wise. Some authorities say get up with the sun; some
say get up with one thing, others with another, But a lark is really the best thing to get up with, It
gives you a splendid reputation with everybody to know that you get up with the lark: and if you get
the right kind of lark, and work at him right, you can easily train him to get up at half past nine, every
time — it’s no trick at all.
Now as to the matter of lying. You want to be very careful about lying: otherwise you are
nearly sure to get caught. Once caught, you can never again be in the eyes to the good and the pure,
what you were before.
There are many sorts of books; but good ones are the sort for the young to read. remember
that. They are a great, an inestimable, and unspeakable means of improvement. Therefore be careful
in your selection, my young friends; be very careful; confine yourselves exclusively to Robertson's
Sermons, Baxter's Saints’ Rest, The Innocents Abroad, and works of that kind,
But I have said enough. ! hope you will treasure up the instructions which I have given you,
and make them a guide to your feet and a light to your understanding. Build your character
thoughtfully and painstakingly upon these precepts, and by and by, when you have got it built, you
will be surprised and gratified to see how nicely and sharply it resembles everybody else’.

French engineer, architect, and entreprenei
Gustave Eiffel is known for the tower that
bears his name. Gustave created different structures that paved the way to his prominence. During his
life, he created many other impressive structures like churches, houses, and diverse works of
architecture.
Eiffel was born in Dijon, France, in 1832. Eiffel was extremely clever but not studious when it
came to school. Eventually, he found himself interested in the techniques of construction and studied
at the Ecole Centrale des Aris et Manufactures in Paris, where he graduated and earned his Master
of Science Degree in 1855.
Charles Nepven provided Eiffel’s first professional project. It was to build a railway bridge
to span the Garonne River in Bordeaux. He designed and constructed numerous other bridges over
the next few decades, including a 525-foot steel arch bridge in Oporto, Portugal, and a 540-foot
version of the same design in Truyere, France. This was considered as the highest bridge in the world,
at the time, crossing 400 feet over the stream. He pioneered the use of compressed air in the caissons
of his bridges.
In 1867, Eiffel showed his lov
of tall, arched structures
ith his other creations like the
Galerie des Machines for the Paris Exhibition, He also constructed the framework for the Statue of
Liberty,

Learning Different Languages
Learning different languages generates curiosity and cultural awareness. When people interact
with others from different countries, they tend to be curious and want to know more about other
people’s culture. They also want to create a bridge so that there will be no miscommunication or
misunderstanding among cultures.
Most misunderstandings among cultures transpires when messages are misconstrued. In order
10 solve this, a foreigner would enroll in a language center and take formal lessons. Then ke would
try 10 communicate again with the native speaker. When a foreigner mingles with native speakers, he
earns not only the others’ language but also the culture. He becomes enthralled in the new language
to the point that he would like to visit the native speaker's country.
Students, on the other hand, acquire languages as part of their school prerequisites, Teachers
help them learn the language by giving lectures on grammar, reading, speaking, listening, etc. Some
of these students would be curious enough to go online and search about that new language. They
then study its origin and history. Students sometimes become comfortable enough to learn the language
by themselves. This produces awareness that would help them comprehend the new language.
Knowledge of languages does not really mean just being able to speak fluently but rather
also means being able to inculcate information that would help people to converse better with others
from around the globe.

Nilatag ko na ang banig. Kasabay nun, inilapag ko na rin ang mga wnan. Sinindthan ko na
rin ang katol na magsisilbing tagataboy ng mga lamok mamaya. Inilabas ko na rin ang pamaypay na
gawa sa napulot kong karton,
Handa na ang lahat
“Nene, matulog na tayo.” tawag ko sa kapatid ko,
Nakaupo na naman siya sa may bintana. Tinatanaw ang mga ilaw sa labas.
“Ate...” sambit niya,
~-Isang salita lang galing sa mga labi ng isang musmos pero sapat na para maintindikan ko
ang nais niyang ipahiwatig.
“Alam ko.
jagbabakasakali akong maipaparating ko ang simpatya ko.
Bimuhat ko siya. Inihiga sa aming banig... At dali- dali kong hinipan ang kandila,
--Kadiliman. Sino nga bang makakaaninag sa dilim na bumabalot sa amin gayong
nagliliwanag ang kapaligian namin?
Pinikit ko ang aking mga mata.
-Katahimikan. Sa kabila ng mga ingay sa labas, sino kaya ang makakapansin sa katahimikang
bumabatot sa aming barong-barong?
“Ate...” -umalingawngaw ang boses ni Nene.
Minulat kong muli ang aking mga mata.
Niyakap niya ako. Ramdam ko ang pag- agos ng luka sa kanyang mga mata
Pinigitan ko yung akin. Kailangan magpakatatag ako,
‘Nene, alam ko...”
wala akong ibang masabi
Sabay naming pinakinggan ang tunog ng mga sasakyan sa labas, ang ingay at tawanan ng
mga tao, at ang pagkalam ng aming mga sikmura na animo'y musikang nakagawian na naming
pakinggan bago matulog --musikang tila humehele sa amin.
Bigla kong naisip sina inay at itay. Nasaan na kaya sila? Naririnig din kaya nila ang
musikang ito bago sila matulog? -Sana 00. Para maalala nita kami
Makalipas ang isang oras, nakatulog na si Nene. Naaninag ko ang mukha niya sa tulong ng
mga ilaw na sumisiwang mula sa labas.
-Mapayapa. Walang bahid ng lungkot at kagutwman... Ano kaya kung ganito na lang palagi?
Naisip ko, mas makabubuti siguro kung patulugin ko na lang siya... habambuhay.
‘Hindi na siya mahihirapan...” nanginginig kong bulong.
Kaya dinampot ko ang unan sa tabi ko.
At saka ko inisip kung paano ako magsisimula.
