儿子说，妈妈你一定要写“转载”呀，否则人家会告你的。

哈哈哈哈哈哈，看他担心的样子，真可爱。

有人曾经说过:“生活就是一项DIY的工程。” 你今天的态度与选择，决定了你明天会住在什么样的“房子”里。

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. His employer was sorry to hear this and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work.

When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to inspect the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said,"This is your house...my gift to you."

The carpenter was shocked! What a shame ! If he had known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.

So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we start to know we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we would do it much differently.

Our attitude and the choices we made today help build the "house" we will live in tomorrow. Therefore, build wisely!
