享受过程的乐趣
荷叶/译
如果你曾因失败而泄气，请向下读。
因为，通常情况下，实现你着手要做的事情并不重要。让我解释一下原因。
两兄弟决定在房后挖一深坑。当他们挖时，几个大男孩停下来观看。
“你们在干什么？”一个参观者问。
“我们打算挖一个坑，把地球挖穿。”兄弟中的一个兴高采烈地抢着说。
大男孩开始大笑，告诉小一点的男孩挖穿地球是不可能的。
沉默了很长时间，一个挖掘者捡起一个罐子，里面装满了蜘蛛，蚯蚓和各种各样的昆虫。他打开盖子，让嘲笑他们的参观者看里面精彩的内容。
然后，他平静但自信地说：“即使我们不能把地球挖穿，瞧，我们一路上找到了什么。”
也许他们的目标太耗时费力，但该目标确实导致他们挖掘不止。那正是目标的意义所在——导致我们朝着所选择的方向前进。换言之，使我们开始挖掘不止。
并非所有的目标都能完全实现，并非所有的工作都能顺利结束，并非所有的关系都能持久存在，并非所有的希望都能顺利发生，并非所有的爱情都能天长地久，并非所有的努力都能圆满完成，并非所有的梦想都能成真。
当你没能实现目标时，你也许会说：“是的，但瞧瞧我沿途发现了什么！瞧瞧因为努力做一件事情而进入我生活的这些精彩！”
生活在不停地挖掘中度过。我认为最终，真正重要的是沿途的快乐。

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 awide 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. |
