“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 take 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, 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 will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor |

Another Door When I come across a good essay in reading newpapers，I am often inclined to cut and keep it． But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the opposite side is as much interesting． It may be a discussion of the way to keep in good health，or advice about how to behave and conduct oneself in society．If I cut the front essay，the opposite side one is bound to suffer damage，leaving out half of it or keeping the text without the subject．As a result，the scissors would stay before they start，or halfway done when I find out the regretful consequence that inevitably causes my repentance． Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both deserving your attention．You can only take up one of them，the other has to wait or be given up．But you know the future is unpredictable——the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left behind．Thus you are caught in a fix and feel sad．How come that nice opportunities and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once．It may happen that your life changes dramatically on your preference of one alternative to the other． In fact that is what life is like：we are often faced with the two opposite aspects of a thing which are both desirable like newspaper cutting．It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only after we are engaged in another．The former may be more imporant than the latter and give rise to a divided mind．I still remember a philosopher’s remarks “When one door shuts，another opens in life．” So a casual or passive choice may not be a bad one．Whatever we do in our lifetime， wherever life's storm tosses us，there must be something we can achieve，some shore we can land，that opens up new vistas to us．Don’t forget God always keeps an alternative door open for every one． While the front door is closed， there must be another open for you. |
