Who is setting your standards (標準) for you?
A true story has it that Mr. Miller, who was 70 years old, decided to 1 around the local high school
football field. As he ran along, a group of football players were in 2 .
The players soon started sprinting (速跑) up and down the 3 . Mr.Miller told himself, "I'll just keep
running until they 4 ." So he ran. And they ran. He ran some more. And they 5 running too. He
kept running until he could finally run no more. Mr.Miller stopped. One of the 6 , equally tired, came up
to him and said, "Well, I'm glad you 7 stopped. Our coach (教練) told us we had to keep running 8
you were running!"
Mr.Miller was watching them and they were 9 him, too. He was letting them 10 his standards.
And the same time they 11 him to set theirs.
After telling the story, some questions occur in my mind:Are you keeping 12 with somebody else?
Are you allowing other people to set your standards 13 you? Do you keep pace with those around you,
or do you 14 yourself just how you will 15 your life? You should know that it is you who must be
16 to determine what your standards will be. Set your standards too 17 , and you'll feel bored. Set
high standards 18 you can llive a 19 life. For only when you reach for the best that is within yourself,
will you 20 a wonderful life. |
