Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. While they were working, a few older boys stopped by to watch. "What are you doing?" asked one of the visitors. "We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!" one of the brothers volunteered excitedly.

The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a wide variety of insects. 【2】Then he said quietly and confidently, "Even if we don't dig all the way through the earth, look at what we found along the way!"

_______【3】And that is what a goal is for to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to have us digging!

So when you fail to reach your aim, perhaps you can say, "Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something! "It is in the digging that life is lived. _____【5】

E. Let me explain.

F. Their goal was far too high, but it did cause them to dig.

G. He broke the jar into pieces.
