After years f bserving human nature,I have decided that tw qualities make the difference between men f great achievement and men f average perfrmance:curisity and discntent.I have never knwn an utstanding man wh lacked either.And I have never knwn an average man wh had bth.The tw belng tgether.
Tgether,these deep human urges(驱策力)cunt fr much mre than ambitin.Galile was nt merely ambitius when he drpped bjects f varying weights frm the Leaning Twer at Pisa and timed their fall t the grund.Like Galile,all the great names in histry were curius and asked in discntent,“Why?Why?Why?”
Frtunately,curisity and discntent dn't have t be learned.We are brn with them and need nly recapture them.
“The great man,” said Mencius(孟子),“is he wh des nt lse his child's heart.”Yet mst f us d lse it.We stp asking questins.We stp challenging custm.We just fllw the crwd.And the crwd desires nly the calm and restful average.It encurages us t ccupy ur wn little crner,t avid flish leaps int the dark,t be satisfied.
Mst f us meet new peple,and new ideas,with hesitatin.But nce having met and liked them,we think hw terrible it wuld have been,had we missed the chance.We will prbably have t frce urselves t waken ur curisity and discntent and keep them awake.
Hw shuld yu start?Mdestly,s as nt t becme discuraged.I think f ne friend wh culdn't arrange flwers t satisfy herself.She was curius abut hw the experts did it.Nw she is ne f the experts,writing bks n flwer arrangement.
One way t begin is t answer yur wn excuses.Yu haven't any special ability?Mst peple dn't;there are nly a few geniuses.Yu haven't any time?That's gd,because it's always the peple with n time wh get things dne.Harriet Stwe,mther f six,wrte parts f UncleTm'sCabin while cking.Yu're t ld?Remember that Thmas Cstain was 57 when he published his first nvel,and that Grandma Mses shwed her first pictures when she was 78.
Hwever yu start,remember there is n better time t start than right nw,fr yu'll never be mre alive than yu are at this mment.
