Miss the spring錯過春季的生機

There was a man.He had four sons.He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things to go and look at a pear tree that was far away.

The first son went in the winter ,the second in the spring the third in summer ,the youngest son in fall. when they had all gone and come back ,he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly ,bent and weak .the second son said no-it was covered with green buds and full of promise. the third son said it was laden with blossoms and they smelt so sweet and looked so besutiful.the last son disgreed with all of them ,he said it was ripe and droop with fruit ,full of life and fulfilmen.

The man then said to his sons that they were all right,because they each had seen but only one season in the tree's life.he told them that they cannot judge a tree or a person,by only one season,and that the essence of who they are--the pleasure, the joy and love that come from that life --can only be measured at the end , when all the seasons are up .

 if you give up when it is winter ,you will miss the promise of your spring,the beauty of your summer ,the fulfilment of your fall .don' let the pain of one season destory the joy of all the rest.

從前，一個父親有4個兒子。他希望兒子們能學(xué)會凡事勿匆下結(jié)論，于是輪番派遣他們到很遠的地方去尋一棵梨樹。


 大兒子是冬天去的，二兒子春天啟程，老三去時已是炎熱的夏季，老么于金秋時節(jié)踏上了征程。


 待他們?nèi)�都尋樹歸來以后，父親把他們叫到一起，聽他們各自描述自己的所見。


 大兒子數(shù)落說大樹枝彎干斜，很難看。二兒子連忙否認，說樹上發(fā)滿嫩綠的新芽，生機盎然。


 老三不同意了，樹上明明開滿鮮花，吐露芬芳，漂亮極了。


 他們的說法實在讓老么啞然，枝頭上墜滿的難道不是累累果實，在彰顯生機與收獲嗎？


 父親解釋說，兒子們的說法都沒錯，因為他們看到的是大樹一年四個季節(jié)里的不同情景。


 他告訴兒子們說，不能以一季來判斷樹，更不能以一時來判斷人，因為人之本質(zhì)——源自他們喜、樂、愛的根本——只有在其生之了結(jié)時，才可蓋棺論定。


 倘若你在冬季就已放棄，那無疑會錯過春季的生機、夏季的美麗和秋季的收益。勿為一季的痛苦而破壞了所有的歡樂。
