问题详情:
There were once two brothers who lived on the 80th level. On coming home one day, they realized that the lift wasn’t working and that the only choice was the stairway.
By the time they reached the 20th floor, they were breathing quickly and tired, so they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day. When they struggled to the 40th floor, the younger brother started to complain and both of them began to quarrel all the way to the 60th floor. They then realized that they had only 20 more floors to climb, and decided to stop quarreling and continued climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and arrived home at last. Both of them stood calmly in front of the door. After a short rest, they suddenly realized that the key was in their bags which were left on the 20th floor.
This story is a reflection of our lives. Many of us live under the high expectations of our parents, teachers, and friends. We seldom get to the things we really like and love and we are under so much pressure and stress that by the age of 20, we get tired and decide to lighten the load.
Being free of the pressure and stress, we work enthusiastically and have high hopes. But by the time we’re 40 years old, we start to lose our dreams. We begin to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining any more and we began to walk the final stage in peace and calmness. We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us. Only to realize that we could not rest in peace because we still have unrealized dream — a dream we gave up 60 years ago.
