Life is our gift from god, our gift to god is how well we live our lives.

I would like to share the following story which I did in the story-telling session in my class with u guys. It's meaningful.


“美国人爱德华是一名登山家，登山既是他的职业，也是他的生命。10年间，他已成功地把世界几大高峰踩在脚下。然而，在向世界最高峰Mt. Everest挑战时，他爬上了6000米的高度，却因为心脏原因不得放弃登顶。


就在爱德华满怀失败的痛苦，准备回国的时候，他注意到了Mt. Everest脚下尼泊尔贫穷的乡村，那里连一所学校也没有，无学可上的孩子们睁着大眼睛看这那些来自世界各地的登山者，眼神好奇而空洞。看到这些孩子们，爱德华想，既然自己这辈子已经无缘登上Mt. Everest 的绝顶了，何不为山脚下的孩子们做点儿有意义的事呢？


从此以后，爱德华不断穿梭于欧美一些富裕国家，进行演讲并筹集资金，然后返回喜马拉雅山南麓的巴基斯坦、尼泊尔等国的偏僻地区，建起学校。十几年间，爱德华筹建的学校让成千上万的孩子受到了基础教育。


在一次采访中，爱德华说：“幸亏我当初没有登上Mt. Everest的绝顶，要不，我也不会把眼光放到脚下这些贫穷的孩子身上。把眼光放到低处，我才发现，成功原来也可以是另外一种样子。”

偶尔回头望一望或把目光稍微往低处放，你会发现其实失去也没什么了不起，反而会让你发现一直默默守在你身边、鼓励你的东西其实比失去的来得更好。
