Who is setting your standards for you ?
A true story has it that one elder man
36 to jog around the local high school football field. As he huffed and puffed(气喘吁吁) along, the team was
37 . The players soon started running sprints up and down the field. The man told himself “I will
38 keep running until they quit.”
So he ran. And they ran. And he ran some more. And they kept running. And he kept running until he
39 finally run no more. He stopped in
40 . One of the players, equally out of breath, approached him and said in a crying voice, “Boy, I am so glad that you finally stopped.
41 told us we had to keep running
42 the old guy who was jogging !” He was watching them. They were watching him. He was letting them set his
43 , on the contrary, they allow him to set
44 .
My question is this: Are you keeping
45 with somebody else in your daily life? Are you
46 people to set your standards for you? What about your standards, or
47 , for moral behavior or even your way of building up your own characteristics ? Or guidelines for what kind of life
48 you want? Negative or positive? Do you keep pace with those
49 you, or do you decided yourself just
50 you will live your life? The true is that only you are
51 to determine what your standards will be.
Set your standards too low, and you will know only
52 . But set high standards and you can live an immeasurably full and
53 life. For only when you
54 the best that is within yourself, will you experience great living. Just as an old saying goes: “Think big
55 , and win big success.”
