Lesson45 A clear conscience
The whole village soon learnt that a large sum of money had been lost. Sam Benton, the local butcher, had lost his wallet while taking his savings to the post-office. Sam was sure that the wallet must have been found by one of the villagers, but it was not returned to him. Three months passed, and then one morning, Sam found his wallet outside his front door. It had been wrapped up in newspaper and it contained half the money he had lost, together with a note which said: 'A thief, yes, 'but only 5o per cent a thief!' Two months later, some more money was sent to Sam with another note:' Only 25 per cent a thief now!' In time, all Sam's money was paid back in this way. The last note said:' I am 100 per cent honest now!'

练习感悟:周三,每天都练习英语,不知道自己的进步有多少,还是看不到,等待半年后的考试,然后每年给自己两次考量的机会,能力有多大就做多大的事情。这个冬天不再偷懒,不再懒癌发作,为自己以前浪费的每一个冬天而羞愧,每一个早起的日子都值得尊敬,所有的付出和努力都不会白费。只希望自己不要虚度光阴。哪怕只是往优秀的路上前进一点点,都好过浪费大好的时间。越浪费越平庸。
