Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys 1 to watch.
"What are you doing? "asked one of the2.
"We plan to dig a hole all the way through Earth!" one of the brothers answered3.
The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all through Earth was4.
After a long silence, one of the diggers5 a jar full of spiders, worms and a wide types of insects. He removed the lid （盖子）and6 the wonderful things to the visitors.
Then he said quietly and7, "Even if we don't dig all the way through Earth, look at what we've found along the way!"
Their goal was far too ambitious （有雄心的）, but it did cause them8. And that is what a goal is9 to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen.
But not every goal will be fully10. Not every job will end11. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every12 will be realized.
But13 you fall short of aim（达不到目标）, perhaps you can say, "Yes, but look at what I've found along the way! Look at the14 things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!"
It is in the digging that15 is lived. And I believe it is joy in the journey, and in the end that truly matters.
