23、e, “I havent time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street; hell fix them for you right away.” But Id had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman. “No,” I replied, “the other fellow cant do it w
24、ell.” “The other fellow” is one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait”without knowing much about mending shoes or making key. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair. The man saw I wouldnt g
25、ive in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron (围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week.” I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf. “See what I can do?” he said with pride, “Only thr
26、ee of us in Paris can do this kind of work.” When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, hi
27、s pride in his craft. These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things in any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is

31、re working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “We are going to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers volunteered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling the brothers that digging a hole all the way through
32、the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and interesting stones. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the scoffing（嘲笑） visitors. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we dont dig all the way through the eart
33、h, look what we found along the way!”Their goal was far too ambitious, but it did cause them to dig. And that is what a goal is for-to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen.

34、. Not every relationship will endure（长久持续）. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every endeavor(努力) will be completed. Not every dream will be realized. But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wond
