An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn"t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don"t you want the fish? "
The child replied," I want the fishing rod(竿)in your hands. "
The old man asked," Why do you want the rod?"
"It doesn"t take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won"t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.
I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn"t know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It"s useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.
Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.

【主旨大意】有一位老人在河边钓鱼,不一会就钓了一篮子,旁边的小孩很聪明,所以这个老人就想把钓到的鱼都给她,但是她拒绝了。老人很奇怪,问为什么。她说她想要鱼竿,那样的话,就不会担心没有鱼吃了。那个孩子真的聪明吗?不!如果只要鱼竿而不懂得钓鱼的技术,也是没有用的。同样,在我们生活中也有很多像故事中的小孩一样只有“鱼竿”而不懂技术的人啊!

For many years I had a good life. My illness was reasonably (适度的) under control, I had a nice relationship with my husband, I did work, I didn"t hate. It was, as I said, a good life.
But there"s a saying that the good is the enemy of the best. I finally realized this one day, and began making my best life. I changed doctors and tried a new way that could relieve(减轻) my symptoms (症状) , rather than just making them easier to deal with. I started talking more with my husband and listening to what he had to say. And I quit(辞掉) my job and started working for myself.
I have the best life I"ve ever had. I"d call it great. It is possible there"s a better life for me, which would then be my "best life" , but for now I don"t think so. I"ve started a business I love. My husband and kids are wonderful. I have a good friend and I"m close to my older sister who lives in town. Could it get better? I suppose so. But for me I think this is the best life I can have right now.
Think more about your life. Where are you living? Are you in a job you just don"t mind? What makes your life "good" ? Why isn"t it great? What"s the enemy of the best and what can you do about it?
Enjoy your best life. We"re only here for a short while, and we all need to have the best possible time we can. It"s like going to Disney World. If you spend too much time standing in line waiting for the ride, pretty soon your time"s up. Get out of the "good" line and have your best life.

小题4: What"s the enemy of the best?

Once a circle missed a wedge(楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly.  It admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with grasses. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. It put the found piece into itself and began to roll. Now it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or to talk to the grasses. When it rolled so quickly, it realized how different the world seemed. Then it stopped, left the found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
The lesson of the story , I suggested, was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything isn’t in some ways a whole man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn(渴望), to hope, to come true the dream of something better.
