早安心语
Life is the most clear footprints，often printed on the muddy road.
人生最清晰的脚印，往往印在最泥泞的路上。
A young man presented himself to the local expert on gems and said he wanted to become a gemologist.
The expert brushed him off because he feared that the youth would not have the patience to learn.The young man pleaded for a chance.
Finally the expert consented and told the youth，“Be here tomorrow.”
The next morning the expert put a jade stone in the boy's hand and told him to hold it.The expert then went about his work，cutting，weighing，and setting gems.The boy sat quietly and waited.
The following morning the expert again placed the jade stone in the youth's hand and told him to hold it.On the third，forth，and fifth day the expert repeated the exercise and the instructions.
On the sixth day the youth held the jade stone，but could no longer stand the silence.
“Master，”he asked，“when am I going to learn something？”
“You'll learn，”the expert replied and went about his business.
Several more days went by and the youth's frustration increased.One morning as the expert approached and beckoned for him to hold out his hand，he was about to blurt out that he could go on no longer.But as the expert placed the stone in the youth's hand，the young man exclaimed without looking at his hand，“This is not the same jade stone！”“You have begun to learn，”said the expert.

一个年轻人到当地一位研究宝石的专家那里，说他想成为一位宝石专家。专家没有同意，因为他担心年轻人没有耐心学习。年轻人恳求他给自己一次机会。最后，专家总算表示同意，告诉年轻人说：“明天到这里来。”
第二天上午，专家在男孩手里放了一块玉石，告诉他握好。随后，专家继续工作，切削，称重，摆放宝石。男孩静静地坐在那里等待。
第二天上午，专家同样在男孩手里放了一块玉石，告诉他握好。第三天、第四天、第五天，专家都重复这个动作和指令。
第六天，男孩还握着玉石，但无法再忍受那种沉默。“师傅，”他问道，“我什么时候开始学习东西？”
“你会学到的。”专家一边回答一边忙活。
又好几天过去了，年轻人越来越沮丧。一天上午，专家走近前来，让他伸出手，他正打算脱口说出他不能再继续下去了。但当专家把玉石放在年轻人手里时，年轻人看都没看，就大声叫道：“这不是原来那块玉石！”
“你已经开始学习了。”专家说。
