1 Determined to make it on his own, Bush did not tell his father that he was applying to Harvard Business School. 2 The "West Point of Capitalism" was not inundated with applicants in the anti-business early 70s', so Bush got in, despite mediocre grades that kept him out of his first choice of grade schools, the University of Texas Law School. Bush posed as a redneck rebel at Harvard, wearing his National Guard flight jacket and cowboy boots and chewing tobacco as he sat at the back of the class, spitting into a paper cup. 3 But he showed early signs of the self-discipline that would become more characteristic as time went on. He kept up with the grueling casework, particularly in a course called Human Organization and Behavior. Here were formal lessons in organizing and managing people that Bush had only intuited as an Andover cheerleader. He developed his basic approach to leadership at Harvard's training ground for future CEOs. The essence was to think Big Picture, don't get caught in the details, delegate and decide. 4 Bush whizzes through briefing books today, preferring to listen rather than read, but his friends say he has an ability to cut to the chase. If Bush seems less substantive than a Bill Clinton—or an A1 Gore—he can blame a Harvard education.
5 Bush hardly mentions Harvard today. He loathed what he saw as the university's liberal, intellectually pretentious atmosphere. On weekends at the home of his aunt Nancy Ellis, who lived in Boston, Bush railed against the "smugness" of Cambridge. He pined to get back to Texas. While Bush's classmates headed for Wall Street, Bush went to look for a job in the oil Patch, again following his father whose portrait hangs in Midland's Petroleum Hall of Fame.1.

Love on campus is no more a rarely seen phenomenon nowadays. Most of the college students are having or once had loving experience in their campus life. Is it appropriate to have a campus love while putting the study aside? Or is it an indispensable part of college life? What is your opinion?
Love on Campus
Life in college is drastically different from that in high school. More free time and fewer classes lead to popularity of finding boyfriends or girlfriends. Campus love is somewhat a pre-performance for seeking for one's spouse and marriage. I maintain the opinion that there are varieties of love on campus and each has its distinctive characteristics.
To begin with, the first type places emphasis on the process of love itself instead of the result. Most students of this type only want to experience the unique feeling between two young hearts when they fall in love. Actually, such kind of love is prevailing to some extent, through which, they would get to know each other better and establish a stable relationship. There is a Chinese saying that we are just to acquire an experience of love but not an ever-lasting marriage. College students are around 20 years old and it is still too distant for them to get acquired what is the real concept of marriage itself.
The second type is focused on studying rather than spending time wandering on campus. Such students have already realized the importance of study while they still have boyfriends or girlfriends in their spare time. They well balance the relation between love and study and achieve in both aspects at length. I really appreciate this type of campus love which is sensible and calm.
The last type is quite open-minded boys and girls who lack moral ethics while they fall in love with each other. As the advancement of modem times and foreign cultures, many students have walked away from the traditional virtues in love and finally leave a negative effect on campus. They often turn a deaf ear to suggestions from parents and teachers and indulge in their own private domain.
Campus love is a two-edged sword which brings benefit and harm as well. It all depends on how you regulate it. The brilliant student is the one who can put study first. Generally speaking, campus love is immature in some way in prime age, when one has to be equipped with knowledge and thoughts.
