Rowan was born on 6 January,1955.He grew up on a farm with his parents and three older brothers.His father was very strict and did not believe in the value of television. Rowan had a very successful academic career.At the age of 13，he was awarded a scholarship to a boarding school.Later，he studied at Newcastle University，where he attained the highest marks in his year.At Oxford，he obtained his master’s degree in electrical engineering.This may explain why he loves fast cars，of which he has many. When Rowan was young，he had a stutter and to make his speech clearer，he began to speak very carefully.This may be why some of his characters have unusual ways of speaking. As early as primary school，Rowan had already shown a talent for acting，but it was only later at university that he decided to become an actor.A key event occurred one day in 1976 when he was playing around and pulling a face in the mirror.“I discovered my face，” he said later.

One of the villagers was curious to know what his secret was：How could he be always so kind and helpful? How is it that he held no grudge towards anyone and was always happy? Once，upon meeting him in the street，the villager asked him，“Most people are selfish and unsatisfied.They do not smile as often as you do；neither are they as helpful or kind as you are.How do you explain it？” “When you make peace with yourself，then you can be in peace with the rest of the world.If you can recognize the spirit in yourself，you can recognize the spirit in everyone，and then you find it natural to be kind and well disposed to all.If your thoughts are under your control，you become strong and firm.” “But a lot of work is necessary.The work is difficult and endless.There are many walls that need to be climbed.It is not an easy task，” lamented the villager. “Do not think about the difficulties，otherwise that’s what you will see and experience.Just quieten your feelings and thoughts and try to stay in this peace.All the abilities and powers will awaken spontaneously.” “Is that all？” asked the villager. “Try to watch your thoughts and see how they come and go.Stay in the quietness that arises.The moments of peace will be brief at first，but in time they will get longer.This peace is also strength，power，kindness，and love.” “I will try to remember your words，” said the villager.“There is another thing that I am curious about.You do not seem to be influenced by the environment.You have a kind word to everyone and are helpful.Yet people do not exploit your goodness，and they treat you well.” “Goodness and being kind do not necessarily point to weakness.When you are good，you can also be strong.People sense your strength and do not impose on you.You then act from strength and not from weakness.Goodness can also go with power and strength；it is not a sign of weakness as some people think.” “Thank you very much for your advice，” said the villager and he went away，happy and satisfied. 1.Why did the villager come to visit the man?
