We Are Just Beginning
一切都只是刚刚开始

“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite...”
I do not know who wrote those words，but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.We can take the mysterious，hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine，just as a sculptor 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 good 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 contaminated 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 lives.The past is gone and static .Nothing we can do will change it.The future is before us and dynamic.Everything we do will affect it.Each day brings with it new frontiers，in our homes and in our business，if we will only recognize them.We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor .
“我们所读到的，不过是一部诗书的开篇部分，而书中所蕴涵的人生哲理却是无限的……”
我不知道这句话是谁说的，但它却时时提醒着我，未来是怎样的，全由自己来创造。我们可以把充满神秘且又无法掌控的未来世界按照自己的想像精心构思出来，就像雕刻家可以把毫无意境的石头雕塑成精美的雕像一样。
和农民一样，如果我们播下的是优良的种子，那么很快就会大获丰收。但如果我们种下的是劣质种子，且任杂草肆意生长，那么，我们的收成就会大大减少。而如果我们根本不去播种，那么我们将会颗粒无收。我希望未来会比现在更美好。我们不应该总是活在过去，让从前犯下的错误和留下的遗憾占据我们的记忆。我们应该多想想未来，因为正是它将陪伴我们度过余下来的漫漫人生。过去的一切就让它过去吧。因为我们根本无法改变过去的一切。充满青春气息的未来世界正在前方等待着我们。我们现在所做的一切都会影响到未来。每一天，我们都会站在新的起跑线上，无论是在生活中，还是在工作中，只要我们意识到这一点：我们要努力达到每一个人生的既定目标。而现在，一切都只是刚刚开始。
