他们继续前行，终于发现了一片绿洲。于是．他们决定洗个澡。结果，被打的那个人陷入了泥潭，眼看就要淹死了，幸好他的朋友救了他。
他苏醒后，就在一块石头上刻道：“今天，我最好的朋友救了我的命。”
打他耳光又救了他的那个朋友问道：“我打了你后，你在沙子上写字；现在你又在石头上刻字。这是为什么呢？”
朋友回答说：“受到伤害时，我们应该把它记在沙子上，这样，宽恕之风会将它抚平。受到恩惠时，我们应该把它刻在石头上，这样，没有什么能将它抹掉。”
我们应学会把伤害记在沙地上，把恩泽刻在石头上。
人们常说，找到一个特别的人只需一分钟，欣赏他需一小时，爱上他只需一天，而忘记他，却要用一生的时间。
把这句话送给那些让你永生难忘的人，让他们知道你永远不会忘记他们吧。
终生不忘。
人生之役
Man Is Like A Fruit Tree
埃尔默·霍姆斯·博布斯特/Elmer H. Bobst
Once， while taking my boat down the inland waterway to Florida， I decided to tie up at Georgetown， South Carolina， for the night and visit with an old friend. As we approached the Esso dock， I saw him through my binoculars1 standing there awaiting us. Tall and straight as an arrow he stood， facing a cold， penetrating wind—truly a picture of a sturdy man， even though in his eighties. Yes， the man was our elder statesman， Bernard Baruch.
He loaded us into his station wagon and We Were off to his famous Hobcaw Barony for dinner. We sat and talked in the great living room where many notables and statesmen， including Roosevelt and Churchill， have sat and taken their cues. In his eighty-second year， still a human dynamo2， Mr. Baruch talked not of the past but of present problems and the future， deploring our ignorance of history， economics and psychology. His only reference to the past was to tell me， with the wonderful sparkle in his eyes， that he was only able to get eight quail out of the ten shots the day before. What is the secret of this great man' s value to the world？ The answer is his insatiable desire to keep being productive.
