17 but then i developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. if im away from my computer, i usually write it down on a piece of paper that i bring wherever i go. i will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer. it helps you review all the lessons (教训) youve learned. by reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons youve learned and the ideas youve gotten. 18 you can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward. 19 after keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far youve gone. things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. the raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today. it helps you expand (扩展) your ideas. when you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. 20 at the end, you will expand your ideas.a. i often experienced that myself.b. it trains you to express your thoughts.c. it allows you to see your progress over time.d. just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.e. thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.f. and to be honest, i cant imagine what my life would be like without it.g. then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.第二部分 完形填空are you happy?
