"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pagesare infinite---"
I do not know who wrote those words,but I have always liked them as areminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.We can take themysterious,hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine,justlike 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 agood harvest.If our seed is poor and full of weeds,we reap a useless crop.If weplant nothing at all,we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past.I don't want it contaminatedby the mistakes and errors with which history is filled.We should all beconcerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder ofour lives.
The past is gone and we can do will change it.The future isbefore us and dynamic.Everything we do will effect it.Each day will brings withit new frontiers,in our homes and in our businesses,if we will only recognizethem.We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of humanendeavor.
“我们正在阅读一本页数无限的书的第一章的第一节……”
我不知道这段文字是谁写的，我一直很喜欢并用它们来提醒自己，那就是未来操之在我。我们可以掌握神秘而不可知的未来，从中创出我们所能想象的任何东西，一如雕刻家可以将未成型的石头刻出雕像一样。
我们每个人都是农夫，我们若种下好种子，就会有丰收，倘若种子长得不良且长满杂草，我们就会徒劳无获，如果我们什么也不种，就根本不会有什么收获。
我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中的错误所污染，我们应关心未来，因为往后的余生都要在未来中度过。
往昔已一去不复返而且是静止的，任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去，未来就在我们眼前而且是动态的。我们的所作所为都会影响未来，只要我们体会的出来，每天都可以发现新的知识领域伴随而生，可能是在家里，也可能是在我们的事业中，我们正处在人类所努力钻研的每个领域中进步的起点。

有一个小男孩和他的父亲走在山中。突然，孩子不小心跌倒了，痛得大叫了一声：“哎呀……”但是令他吃惊的是，他听到了一个声音从山中的某处传出来，重复着他的喊声：“哎呀……”他很好奇，大声喊道：“你是谁？”结果他得到的回答也是：“你是谁？”小男孩听了很生气，大声喊道：“胆小鬼！”结果他得到的回答也是：“胆小鬼！”他看着父亲问道：“到底是怎么回事？”父亲笑着说：“儿子，注意听。”父亲对着山大喊了一声：“我佩服你！”结果传回来的声音也是：“我佩服你！”父亲再一次大声地喊：“你是冠军！”那个声音也回答道：“你是冠军！”小孩子很惊讶，但是不明白其中的原因。
这时父亲解释说：“人们称这为‘回音’，但实际上这就是‘人生’。你说的每一句话，做的每一件事都会回应到你身上。我们的人生只不过是我们所作所为的反映。如果你要这个世界有更多的爱，那么你就要在你的心中创造更多的爱；如果你想让你的团队更优秀，那么先让你自己更优秀。这种关系对任何事情都是适用的，它适用于人生的方方面面。你给予人生的一切它都会回应给你。”
