But if you kept on sowing the seeds of your dream, one day you would succeed. And after that others would comment you were lucky to be successful—when in fact you probably failed more often than you would like to count. But you were good at failing—you learned, you adapted, and then with your new knowledge you tried again. And again. And again. And one day success was yours.
I picked up the apple seed again—but instead of throwing it away I took an empty flower pot, poured some earth into it and planted the seed. Maybe one day it would grow into a proud tree. I’d never know if I didn’t try.
我意识到被我捧在掌心的是棵苹果树。这颗小小的种子蕴藏着长成一棵美丽大树的潜力——这棵大树在它的生命中又会结出成千上万个苹果。每个苹果里又有几颗种子,每颗种子又可以长成一棵新的苹果树,再结出许多苹果。但为什么世界上并没有到处都是苹果树呢?
因为在自然规律的作用下,只有几颗种子能生长起来。大部分种子根本不能生长,即便生长起来也会夭折。
于是,这让我联想到,人们的梦想又何尝不是如此。我们常会有不错的想法,但这些想法也只是昙花一现——我们对这些“幼苗”不以为意,根本不去保护它们。而后有一天我们疑惑梦想为何从未实现?
我把这颗苹果种子放在桌上,弯下腰观察这颗反着光的小小造物杰作。我想,如果有人一心想种苹果的话,要尝试多少次才能让种子发芽?这需要多少付出?
