A successful man said, “Find a dream and do whatever it takes to make it come true.”
A young man didn’t know how to face his work. One day he was sitting in a park watching squirrels(松鼠) run in the trees. Suddenly, a squirrel jumped from one high tree to another. It seemed to for a branch(树枝) so far out of reach that the jump looked impossible. And sure enough, the squirrel . But it still landed safely on a branch several feet lower. Then it just climbed up a little higher and reached the branch it really .
An old man sitting near the young man said, “It’s . I have seen a lot of squirrels jump like that. A lot of them miss, but I have never seen one of them get hurt. I guess they have got to risk(冒险) it if they don' t want to spend their whole life one tree. ” Then the young man thought, "If a little squirrel is to take a chance, do I have less than a squirrel?"
At that moment he decided to take a risk he had been thinking about. And sure enough, he landed safely in a position he thought possible.
Shoot(飞奔) for the moon. you miss, you will land among the stars, and you will still end up higher and better than you are now. Since life is short and time goes by so fast, why not make it the best one possible?
