Look What You Find along the Way

Guidance for Reciting

Often,achieving what you set out to do is not the most important thing. A goal causes us to move in the direction we have chosen. If you have ever been discouraged because of failure,please read on.

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.

享受过程的乐趣

诵读导言

往往,圆满完成你所做的事情并不是最重要的。目标驱使我们朝着所选定的方向前进。如果你曾因失败沮丧过,请继续读下去。

不是每一个目标都会完全实现,也不是每一样工作都能够最终成功;不是每一种关系都能够持久,也不是每一丝希望都能够实现;不是每一次爱都能够天长地久;不是每一次努力都会硕果累累,也不是每一个梦想都能够实现。

但当你没有达到目标时,也许你可以说:“是的,但看看我途中所发现的东西!看看这些因为我尽力去做而走进我生活的美妙东西!”

生命正是在挖掘的过程中才具有活力。而且我相信到最后真正要紧的还是过程中的乐趣。
