He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events. The last time I was there he introduced me by saying: “I want to tell you a story. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. 我有一个朋友叫蒙蒂•罗伯茨，他拥有一座养马场。他让我用他的房子作为举办筹集基金活动的地点。上次我在他那儿时，他跟我说：“我想给你讲一个故事。这要追溯到一个年轻人身上发生的故事，他是一位巡回驯马师的儿子，他的驯马师父亲从马厩到赛马场，从农庄到牧场，负责训练那里的马匹。结果，这个男孩的中学生涯就不断地被中断。当他成为一名高年级学生的时候，老师要求他写一篇文章，内容有关他长大后想成为什么人以及想做些什么。 “That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. “那天夜里，他写了长达七页的文章，描述了自己将来有一天能拥有一座养马场的目标。他极其详细地介绍了自己的这个梦想，甚至还画出了一幅200英亩牧场的示意图，在上面标出所有建筑、马厩和跑道的具体位置。然后他又画了一幅面积达4,000平方英尺的房屋平面图，这栋房子会坐落在200英亩的梦想牧场上。 “He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’ “他在这个项目上投入了很多心血，第二天，他把文章交给了老师。两天后，他收到了自己的文章。在第一页上，有一个大大的红色F，并带有一条批注：‘课后来见我。’ “The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive an F?’ The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources . Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees . There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’ “这个怀揣梦想的男孩课后去见那位老师，他问：‘为什么我得了一个F?’老师回答说：‘对于像你这样的小男孩来说，这是一个不切实际的梦想。你没钱。你出身于一个居无定所的家庭。你也没什么才智谋略。要拥有一座养马场需要很多钱。你得买地。你还得为原有的种畜付钱，之后，你将要支付大笔的种马费。你是永远也无法做到的。’随后，老师又补充道：‘如果你针对一个更为实际的目标重写这篇文章的话，我会重新考虑你的成绩的。’ “The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’ Finally, after a week, the 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/7c856404463610661ed9ad51f01dc281e53a5680.html
