03经典背诵

Starting Point起点

"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite..."

I do not know who wrote those words,but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.We can takethe mysterious,hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine,just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.

We are all in the position of the farmer.If we plant a good seed,we reap a good harvest.If our seed is poor and full of weeds,we reap a useless crop.If we plant nothing at all,we harvest nothing at all.

I want the future to be better than the past.I don't want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled.We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.

The past is gone and static.Nothing we can do will change it.The future is before us and dynamic.Everything we do will affect it.Each day brings with it new frontiers,in our homes and in our business,if we only recognize them.We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.

“我们正在阅读一本页数无限的书的第一章的第一节……”

我不知道这段文字是谁写的,但我一直很喜欢,并用它们来提醒自己,那就是未来操纵在我手中。我们可以掌握神秘而不可知的未来,从中创造出我们所能想象的任 何东西,一如雕刻家可以将未成型的石头刻出雕像一样。

我们每个人都是农夫。我们若种下好种子,就会有丰收。倘若种子不良或都是杂草,我们就会徒劳无获。如果我们什么也不种,就根本不会有什么收获。

我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中的错误所污染。我们应关心未来,因为往后的余生都要在未来中

度过。

过去已过去,而且静止不动。任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去。未来就在我们眼前而且动态的。我们的所作所为都会影响未来。只要我们体会的出来,每天都有新 的领域伴随而生,可能是在家里,也可能是我们的事业中。我们正处在人类努力的每个领域中进步的

起点。
