I was rather foolish in saying that I did not like arithmetic and to learn figures when I did - I was not thinking quite what I was about. The sums can be done better, if I tried, than they are.

Even if I tried to fill up the stadium in Ramat Gan, I don't think I could.

I tried to learn the violin for a while.

When I did play, I tried to make the most of it.

I think I am more determined than ever in my future plans, and I have quite made up my mind that nothing must be suffered to interfere with them. I intend to make such arrangements in town as will secure me a couple of hours daily (with very few exceptions) for my studies.

I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it.
