Don’t Give Up!
There was this museum laid with beautiful marble tiles, with a huge marble statue displayed in the middle of the lobby. Many people came from all over the world just to admire this beautiful marble statue.
One night, the marble tiles started talking to the marble statue.
Marble tile: "Marble statue, it’s just not fair, it’s just not fair! why does everybody from all over the world come all the way here just to step on me while admiring you? Not fair!".
Marble statue: "My dear friend, marble tile. Do you still remember that we were actually from the same cave?"
Marble tile: "Yeah! That’s why I feel it is even more unfair. We were born from the same cave and yet we receive different treatment now. Not fair!" he cried again.
Marble statue: "Then, do you still remember the day when the designer tried to work on you, but you resisted the tools?"
Marble tile: "Yes, of course I remember. I hate that guy! How could he use those tools on me, it hurt so badly.".
Marble statue: "That’s right! He couldn’t work on you at all as you resisted being worked on."
Marble tile: "So???"
Marble statue: "When he decided to give up on you and start working on me instead, I knew at once that I would be something different after his efforts. I did not resist his tools, instead I bore all the painful tools he used on me.."
Marble tile: "Mmmmmm……."
Marble statue: "My friend, there is a price to everything in life. Since you decided to give up half way, you can’t blame anybody who steps on you now." ▲
石头兄弟
彭嵩嵩 编译
博物馆的地面上铺着漂亮的大理石地砖。展览大厅的中央陈列着一尊高大的大理石雕像。世界各地的人们络绎不绝地前来参观，争相一睹这精美绝伦的雕塑的风采。
一天晚上，地砖突然开口对石像说话了。地砖说：“石像，这太不公平了！为什么全世界的人们跑到这里来，脚踩在我的身上，嘴上却在夸奖你呢？不公平！我们出身于同一个石洞，可是如今受到的待遇却是如此的天差地别。”它大声地叫着。
石像说：“你还记得那一天吗？雕刻家想要来改变你，可是你却讨厌刻刀？”
地砖说：“我当然记得。我讨厌那个家伙！他怎么能在我身上动刀子呢？太疼了！”
石像说：“这就对了！你拒绝挨刀子，他只能放弃你，于是选中了我。我知道，经过他的改造我将焕然一新。我忍受着所有刻骨铭心的疼痛。兄弟，生活中的每一件事情都有它的代价。既然你当初决定半途放弃了，如今就不要再责怪别人踩在你的身上了。”▲
