第13章 破茧成蝶(12)

Now why reading and not watching TV?[B]Just like that to develop other aspects of our life,we have to take help of reading.You have innumerabIe number of books in this world which will answer all your"How to"questions.Once you read a book,you just don't run your eyes through the lines,but even your mind decodes it and explains it to you.The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas.[C]The same seed if used many times,can help you link and relate a lot of things,of which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!I have been told of an African phrase describing a good cook as"who has broken many pots."If you've spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots,probably you know a fair amount about cooking.This is nothing but creativity.More the number of books you read,your mind will open up like never before.

生活中,或许我们自己完成的事情不是那么惹人注意,甚至当我们竭尽全力,效果也不会显着。但当我们信赖一种力量时,结局却会演变成美好。所以,当我们准备伟大作品的时候,要仔细地侧耳倾听,也许就会听到大师的声音,在我们耳边轻声说道:“别停下,请继续!”

[A]Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano,a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert.After they were seated,the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisIe to greet her.

Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall,the little boy rose and eventually explored his way through a door marked"NO ADMITTANCE". When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin,the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.Suddenly,the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage.[B]In horror,the mother saw her little boy sitting at the key-board,innocently picking out Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star.

At that moment,the great piano master made his entrance,quickly moved to the piano,and whispered in the boy's ear,"Don't quit. Keep playing."

Then leaning over,Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a running obbligato.[C]Together,the old master and the young novice transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience.The audience was mesmerized.

That's the way it is in life. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy.We try our best,but the results aren't exactly graceful flowing music.But when we trust in the hands of a Greater Power,our life's work truly can be beautiful.

Next time you set out to accomplish great feats,listen carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master,whispering in your ear,"Don't quit.Keep playing."

[A]People often drop into a gIoomy life and are unable to extricate themselves.

There once was a poor and frustrated salesman complaining every day that there was no platform for him to display his ability and the fate was often pulling his legs.

At Christmas Eve,every family decorated their houses with lanterns and streamers and it was very festive everywhere. But he was alone sitting in a bench in a park and recalling the past.It was on the same day last year when he was also alone drinking his Christmas day away,without new clothes,new shoes,let alone a new car and a new house.

"Damn!I have to spend this Christmas day with these old shoes again."he signed and began to take off the old shoes. Suddenly,he glanced a young man in a wheel chair passing by him with his hands arduousIy pushing the wheel forward.[B]It dawned on him that he was so lucky to have shoes to wear while that man did not even have the chance.Afterwards,the sales man did anything with a calm mood and cherished every opportunity to improve himself.He worked hard and tried his best to make a progress every day.Several years later,he eventually changed his life totally and became a millionaire.
