A Carpenter’s Story

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire (退休). He told his boss of his plan to l   1    the house-building business to live a more pleasant life with his wife and family.

The boss was sorry to see his skillful worker go. He asked if he could build just one m   2    house as a personal favor. The carpenter s   3    yes, but over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He used shoddy workmanship (粗糙手艺) and low-quality materials. It was an unlucky way to e   4    his perfect career (职业).

When the carpenter finished his work, his boss came to inspect the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter, “This is your house... my g   5    to you.”

The carpenter was shocked!

What a s   6   ! If I had only known he wanted me to build my own house, I would have done it all d    7     …” The carpenter thought.

So it is w   8    us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock we understand we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it again, we would not do it in the same way.

But, you cannot go back. Someone o   9    said, “Life is a do-it-yourself project.” Your attitude (态度) and your c     10      today help build the “house” you will live in tomorrow. Therefore, build wisely!
