I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.
　　The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.

After winning several archery contests,the young and rather boastful champion challenged a Zen master who was renowned for his skill as an archer.
　　The young man demonstrated remarkable technical proficiency when he hit a distant bull’s eye on his first try,and then split that arrow with his second shot.

“There,”he said to the old man, “see if you can match that!”
　　Undisturbed ,the master did not draw his bow,but rather motioned for the young archer to follow him up the mountain.

Curious about the old fellow’s `intentions,the champion followed him high into the mountain until they reached a deep chasm spanned by a rather flimsy and shaky log.
　　Calmly stepping out onto the middle of the unsteady and certainly perilous bridge ,the old maser picked a far away tree as a target,drew his bow,and fired a clean,direct hit.

“Now it is your turn,”he said as he gracefully stepped back onto the safe ground.Staring with terror into the seemingly bottomless and beckoning abyss,the young man could not force himself to step out onto the log,no less shoot at a target. “You have much skill with your bow,” the master said ,sensing his challenger’s predicament, “but you have little skill with the mind that lets loose the shot.”

Mistakes and errors are the disciplined true which we advance in life. Mistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes in the pursuit of their goals and aspirations, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes you must be willing to pay for them.

Mistakes can be enormously valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you deprive yourself of the opportunity to learn from them. When something goes wrong, it*s usually very easy to find someone else to blame, but what does that really accomplish?

Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they demand a cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the person who pays the price for that mistake.

When you make a mistake, the lastthing you want to do is run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much stronger.

When you make a mistake, don*t look back at it long. Remember the reason for it, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The present is still in your power. Take full advantage of your mistakes to achieve your goals and aspirations.

A Grain of Sand
　　To see a world in a grain of sand,
　　And a heaven in a wild fllower,
　　Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
　　And eternity in an hour.

Sweet day,so cool,so calm,so bright!
　　The bridal of the earth and sky-
　　The dew shall weep thy fall to-night;
　　For thou must die.

Sweet rose,whose hue angry and brave,
　　Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye,
　　Thy root is ever in its grave,
　　And thou must die.

Sweet spring,full of sweet days and roses,
　　A box where sweets compacted lie,
　　My music shows ye have your closes,
　　And all must die,
　　Only a sweet and virtuous soul,
　　Like season*d timber,never gives;
　　But though the whole world turn to coal,
　　Then chiefly lives.
