What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
木匠顿时感到很震惊。多可惜啊!如果他知道是在为自己修建这所房子的话,他会完全以另一种态度来对待。而现在他不得不住在这座自己胡乱修建的房子里了。
So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently.[/en
这个故事也映射了我们的生活状况。我们并没有用心经营自己的生活,总是抱怨而缺少实际行动,并没有全力以赴做到最好。最重要的一点是,我们没有为自己的工作付出百分之百的努力。然后,当我们回过头看为自己创造的生活条件时我们震惊了,和木匠一样我们后悔了,要是知道我们是在为自己的生活打拼,我们可能就会用一种完全不同的态度来对待了。
Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and withdignity. The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project."
