8.Summary
In today's reading, the author tells about his life in Boston and his various ideas. I most agree with the author's motto "To deal with something unhealthy,a person needs to be as health as possible."This is a trite observation,but a cold experience in my college told me that the body is really the most important thing for us. When we are sick, not only the body is uncomfortable but also all the tasks can not be carried out.Therefore, in order to be able to scale our heights of profession,we must take care of our bodies.
