"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite……"
"我们正在读一本书的第一章第一节,这本书很厚很厚……"
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.
我不知道此言出于何处,可我很喜欢,它警示我们：未来由我们自己打造.未来神秘莫测,我们可以发挥想象,塑造自己的将来,犹如雕刻家运用他的想象力将未成形的石头雕刻成像.我们就像是农夫,撒下良种就会丰收,播下劣种或让农田杂草丛生便会徒劳无获.没有耕耘就没有收获.
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.
我希望未来比过去更精彩,希望未来不要沾染历史的错误与过失.我们都应举目向前,因为我们要用余生书写未来.
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 only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.
往昔已逝,静如止水,我们无法去改变；而前方的未来正生机勃勃,我们所做的每一件事都将会影响着它.只要我们认识到这些,无论是在家中还是在工作上,每天我们的面前都会有新天地.在人类致力开拓的每一片领域上,一切才刚刚开始.
