人生是一场运动,是一段坚定不移、永 不停歇地朝一个未知目标努力的过程。
Wherever you are, and whoever you may be, there is one way that you and I are the same at this moment, and at every oth- er time. We are not at rest. We are on a journey. Our life is a movement, non- stop progress towards an unseen goal. We are gaining or losing something every day. Even when we seem to be in the same place and our characters seem the same,we are changing. That is because even themovement of time is a change. It is not the same thing to have an empty field in Janu- ary and in July. The season makes the dif- ference. The things that are childlike in a child are childish in a man.
Everything we do is a step in one direction or another. Even a failure is something. It sets us forward or backward. Something bad is just as real as something good. Even saying no is to accept the other choice.
Are you closer to the place you are going today than you were yesterday? You must be a little closer to one place or another. Ever since your ship was first put upon thesea of life, you have never been still for asingle moment. The sea is too deep. You cannot stop even if you try.
