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

I do not know who wrote these words,but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.We can ta ke the 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,w e 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 contam inated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled.We shoul d 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 f uture is before us and dynamic.Everything we do will affect it.Each da y brings with it new frontiers,in our homes and in our businesses,if w e will only recognize them.We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.

“我们正在阅读一本书的首章首节,这本书的页数没有止境经经。”

虽不知道这段文字出自经手,但我一直把它作为我的座右铭,它警醒着我——未来掌控在自己手中。我们可以把神秘莫测的未来想象成任何模样,如同雕刻家可以把不规则的石头刻成任何雕像一样。

人人都是农夫,撒播优良的种子,我们就会获得丰收;反之,种子劣质,地里杂草丛生,收成自然不好。没有耕耘,就没有收获。

我希望未来比昨天更美好,我不愿那些充斥于历史的过失与错误把未来玷污。我们将在未来中度过余生,所以,我们都应关注未来。

对于寂然不动、已消逝的往昔,我们无能为力,但未来就在我们眼前,生机勃勃,我们可以通过自己的行为去构筑它。如果我们独具慧眼,那么,不论在生活中,还是事业上,我们每天都会有新发现。在人类的各个探索领域,一切才刚刚开始。
