白领英语晨读-168 Be the Future 着眼于未来

Be the Future　

"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose page are infinite..."

I do not who wrote those words,but I allways likes them as a reminder¹ that the future van be anything

we want to take it.We can take the mysterious,hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine,just as a sculptor² 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 godd 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. I want the future to be better than the past ,I don't want it conaminated 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 libes. The past is gone and static .Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic . Eberything 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.
