His answer to me was, “That's irrelevant(无关紧要的). __7__ is important is the __8__ of your work.” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the trick(诀窍) of “__9__”， and I have come to some __10__ — all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.‎ ‎ If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, __11__， the matter of “time”， which we can think of __12__. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it's not how hard one works __13__ the quality of the product that's important.‎ ‎ That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That __14__ is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone's office : “Don't work harder. __15__.” There is a lot of sense in that idea.‎ ‎ If you can't get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of __16__ time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”， the expression “work habits” should be read as “__17__ habits”．‎ ‎ Then, as a smart student, you will __18__ those skills that you use in study, __19__ reading and writing.
