We're Just Beginning

一段缕香

"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…”
4 H  {/ G4 B& t  D      “我们正在读一本书的第一章第一行，这本书的页数是无限的……”
: F8 `  {8 p9 }9 T3 sI 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.
* |$ X# J7 w% R0 k! I) h      我不知道是谁写的，可我很喜欢这句话，它提醒我们未来是由自己创造的。我们可以把神秘、不可知的未来塑造成我们想象中的任何模样，犹如雕刻家将未成形的石头刻成雕像。
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.
      我们每个人都像是农夫。洒下良种将有丰收，播下劣种或生满野草便将毁去收成。没有耕耘则会一无所获。
