Long time ago, there lived a young boy with his family in a small village.Because there was little water in the village, the boy woke up early every morning, carried his pot and headed for the river in order to get water.

On his way back from the river, he always met some old men who expected to drink water.This happened almost every time.He always gave them water though he would be punished by his stepmother.

One day, he couldn't stand the punishment from his stepmother, so he decided never to give anyone water.But on his way back home, he met a strange-looking man who was very thirsty.The strange man lay by the road and he was badly hurt.The boy remembered his vow (誓言), but he thought for a moment and then gave the strange man some water.When he got home, his stepmother noticed the half-filled pot, and again punished him.

A few days later, there was a knock on the door.It was a mailman.He came from the town with a letter for the boy.The letter contained a thank-you note with some money for the young boy.The writer of the letter said that he was very thankful for the boy's kindness.

Where there is love, there is life.Your everyday good deeds are never useless for they will return to you when you are not expecting it.

Have you ever heard that “Success is a journey, not a destination(终点)"? As a man aged 30, I believe it's true. It is, in fact, my law of life. In my eyes, what matters is not necessarily where you are in the end, but what you achieve while you are trying along the way. It means that no matter what it is, as long as you try, you can never fail. It means you can learn from your mistakes and continue on the next journey a little more wisely.

I think St. Louis Rams, a professional American football team in Missouri, as a whole shared my law of life. They played every game with their full potential(潜能)instead of letting a few winning games got to their heads. They had the goal of playing in every Super Bowl, a football game played in the US each year on the first Sunday in February. Even though they lost some games, they didn't give up.

It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability to be on top in the end, or to win the game. What matters is that you worked hard the whole time. You should understand that success is a non-ending journey. Everyone should realize that someone will win and someone will lose. But what's important is that both sides need to try their best. After all, it's not who wins or loses, but how well you play the game and you should remember this in your own life.
