我起初也以為這個故事告訴我們,
人孑然一身來到這世界,
又孑然一身的離開這個世界, 到頭來還不是白忙一場!!!
呵, 這個講故事的人卻說, 看問題要看重點.
這個故事跟人生一樣, 重點是在中間的部份:
你看, 狐狸在葡萄園內吃得多麼快樂啊!!
"即使生命是一場空, 也要空得很充實;
縱然人生是白忙一場, 也要忙得很快樂."

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a
trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how
poor people can be. They spent a couple of days and nights on the
farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son,
"How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad." "Did you
see how poor
people can be?" the father asked. "Oh Yeah" said the son. "So
what
did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered, "I saw that we have one dog and they had
four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and
they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our
garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the
front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have
fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but
they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have
walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to
protect them."
With this the boy's father was speechless. Then his son
added, "Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are."

A well-known speaker started off
his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who
would like
this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one
of you but first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar
bill up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in
the air.
"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped
it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He
picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what
I did to the money, you still wanted it because
it did not decrease in value.
It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled,and
ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come
our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened
or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
You are special - Don't ever forget it! "Never let yesterday's disappointments
overshadow tomorrow's dreams"
