Question

16．"We are reading the first page of a book whose pages are endless…"
    I do not know who wrote these words，but I have always liked them．Our life is just like the book．It tells us that the future can be anything we want to make it．We can take the bright，unknown，unclear future and carve （雕刻） out of it anything that we can imagine，just as a sculptor （雕刻师） carves a statue from a shapeless stone．
    We are all in the position of the farmer．If we plant a good seed （种子），we'll get a good harvest．If our seed is poor and full of grass，we'll get a bad harvest．If we plant nothing at all，we'll get nothing at all．
    I want the future to be better than the past．I don't want it to be unclear because of the mistakes which history is filled with．We should all care about the future because we will spend the rest of our lives there．
    The past is gone．Nothing we can do will change it．The future is before us．Everything we do will influence it．Each day brings with it new starts in our homes and in our business if we realize them．We are just at the beginning in every field of human effort．
