两个小和尚的故事

    两个小和尚分别住在相邻两座山上的庙里,他们每天都会在同一时间下山到溪边挑水,不知不觉中,时间过了五年。

    突然有一天,左边山上的和尚没有下山挑水,右边山上的和尚心想:他大概睡过头了。谁知第二天、第三天,还是没见到他下山挑水。一个月过去了,左边山上的和尚仍然不见踪影。右边山上的和尚终于按捺不住,他决定去看看到底发生了什么事。

    等他来到左边山上的庙里,不禁大吃一惊,因为他的朋友竟在练习太极拳,而且精神特别好,一点也不像一个月没喝水的人。右边山上的和尚正在纳闷,练拳的和尚指着一口井笑着说:“这五年来,我每天练完功后,都会抽空儿挖这口井。________事情再多再忙,我________会坚持挖一点儿。一个月前井里终于冒出了清水,我也就不必再下山挑水了,可以腾出更多的时间,练习我喜欢的太极拳了。”右边山上的和尚听到这里,不住地点头。看来,他似乎明白了其中的道理。

        When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn't a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.   

    He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn't you ever wonder what you're really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”   

    I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.  

    I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That's just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”   

    Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I've never had a better piece of advice.
