If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on.
For often, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.
"What are you doing?" asked one of the visitors.
"We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!" one of the brothers volunteered excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible.
After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a wide assortment of insects. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the scoffing visitors.
Then he said quietly and confidently, "Even if we don't dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!"
Their goal was far too ambitious, but it did cause them to dig. And that is what a goal is for-to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen; in other words, to set us to digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every relationship will endure. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every endeavor will be completed. Not every dream will be realized.
But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, "Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!"
It is in the digging that life is lived. And I believe it is joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters.
如果你曾經由于失敗而喪失信心,那么請繼續讀下去.
一般來說,達到了自我設定的標準并不意味著有多么重要,我來給你解釋下,究竟為什么我會如此這般說呢.
在小房的后面,兩兄弟倆打算挖一個深坑.正當他們為此勞碌的時候,一對年長的二人站在一旁看著他們在那里忙來忙去.
來訪的二人說道:"你們在做什么呢?"
兄弟倆中,一位先開口了,他激動的說:"我們倆人打算挖一條打通地球的深洞."
年長的兩位仁兄開始嗤笑起來,他們告訴這兩個年輕人他們這樣的做法簡直是無稽之談.
過了一會后,年輕的小兄弟挖出了一鍬土來,上面滿是蜘蛛,爬蟲以及一大堆叫不出名堂的昆蟲.他把這鍬滿載著小生命的泥土倒在那兩位對此嘲笑的來人面前.
然后他靜靜地又滿帶著自信地說道:"就算我們所打算的沒有真正成功,看看我們忙活著一陣子有多少收獲!"
目標太遠大,但是我們的確因此而行動.而且正是這個目標,它引導著我們為自己選擇的道路而奮斗.換言之,讓我們為此而努力.
有了理想不可能完全都會實現.有了努力不可能就事事如意.天下無不散之宴席.懷揣期望不一定會有結果.情愛也不見得天長地久.不是有付出就會有收獲.不是有著夢想就會成真.
當你離實現自己的目標太渺茫時,你也許會說:"恩,我的確沒有成功,但是看看我一路下來都收獲了什么!看由于我堅持不懈的努力,我發現了多少以前從未知曉好東西啊!"
人活著,就需要為一些事情而努力.我意識到:其實有意義的地方并不是結果,而是我們為此而一路走來的身后相隨的腳印.
