第三课 我们正在起跑点
"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite..."
“我们正在阅读一本页数无限的书的第一章第一节……”
I do not know who wrote these words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.
我不晓得那段文字是谁写的，但我不断很喜好用那段文字来提醒本身，那就是“将来在我之手”。
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.
我们能够掌握神异而不成知的未来，从中创始出我们所能想像的任何工具，一如雕琢家可将未成形的石头刻出雕像一样。
We are all in the position of the farmer.
我们个个都像是农人。
If we we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest.
我们若种下好种子，就会有丰收。
If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop.
假若种子不良且长满杂草，我们就会白搭无获。
If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
假设我们什么也不种，就底子不会有任何收获。
I want the future to be better than the past.
