Recently, I was running a race and thought it was over. The finish line was within sight, so I started my final sprint. As I cornered the last bend in the road, the finish line was not where I believed it to be. In fact, it was still a good half mile down the road. Since I had misjudged the end of the race, I had expended all of my energy and could only coast the remaining distance to the finish line.
最近,我參加了一次賽跑,參加完我就以為是結束了。終點線就在眼前,我開始了最后的沖刺。然而當我轉過最后一個彎,我堅信一定會在那里的終點線卻不在。事實上,它還在半英里之外。由于我對賽跑終點的錯誤判斷,我耗盡了全部的體力而且只能慢慢跑完剩余的路程。
This analogy holds truth for many things in life. Don’t misjudge the finish line in your race.
生活中其他事情也是類似的。不要在賽跑中錯誤估計終點線。
