He once worked as an art salesman and later became a preacher. It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist.Careers are always open to change.

The following will help you become healthier and keep perfect shape.Eat properly. A healthy diet（饮食）is very important for everybody. Breakfast is the most important meal in a day. Doctors suggest that students breakfast should include fruit, eggs, milk, rice or noodles, because these can offer them the energy they need, help them listen carefully in class and keep them healthy. Eat enough for lunch and little for supper. But remember that too much sugar is bad for your teeth and blood. You shouldnt have too many sweet snacks and desserts(甜点) in your diet, even though such food tastes delicious.Keep off germs(病菌). You need to have daily tooth cleaning. It reduces the number of germs which will spread diseases. Germs in the mouth are likely to enter the blood and cause illness, even heart disease. Even if youre not sick, always remember to cough or sneeze（打喷嚏）into your arms instead of your hands because hands can spread germs to others when you touch something else. Besides, washing hands is necessary after going to the toilet or before having a meal. And youd better rub both hands while washing them.Exercise regularly(有规律地). Regular exercise can improve your moods and balance. Whats more, its good for bones. There are many forms of exercise such as walking or running for about 30 minutes a day playing ball games twice or three times a week, swimming or dancing often. You can choose your favorite to practise regularly. You will not only feel energetic but also think better after doing exercise.Stay connected. Talking with friends regularly is the key
