An old carpenter(工匠)was ready to retire(退休).His boss was     to see the good worker leave. He asked the carpenter if he could build just one more     . The carpenter said yes, but his mind was not on his work any more. He used poor materials and     worked on the house. When the carpenter finished his work, the boss     the front-door key to him and said, "This is your house. It's a     for you."

What a surprise! If he had known he was     his own house, he would have done it differently. Now he had to live in the house he poorly built.

So it is with us. Sometimes we build our     carelessly. At important points we do not try our best. Then with a shame we look at the things we did. We find that we are living in the house we have poorly built     we don't have a chance(机会)to make it all over again.

Think of    as the carpenter. Think about your life. Build it carefully and wisely. It is the only life you will ever build because life is a do-it-yourself project.

Your life today is the    of  your attitudes(态度)and choices(选择)you made in the past. Your life tomorrow will be that of your attitude and choices you make today.
