Question

One day while sitting in the boat fishing, I noticed a field mouse on the river bank. He ran out of his  21 , ran around a bit and then ran back. I thought of the  22 of this mouse. His life is spent running around, 23 , following his nose. He runs here, runs there, turns in circles, but never really sees much beyond his  24  . He is trying to  25 his way to successful living, which is finding a little  26 , so that he can carry on for the rest of his life, frightened.

A few minutes later I looked up and noticed an osprey (鱼鹰) 27 high in the sky. This keen-eyed hunter with a  28 view of the river was simply waiting for the best time to catch his food. The  29  creature flew up toward a nest at the top of one of the tallest trees.

It is the osprey not the field mouse that   30 our human potential (潜能). I don’t know about you, but it is   31  for me to decide which creature I want to learn from. I want to   32, to see the big picture, to climb higher, go farther, dive deeper, and  33  more. I want my soul enlarged and my heart inspired. I want to   34 running about following my nose and instead I want to find new strength, fresh   35  , clear vision and courage. I want to be more like the osprey and less like the field mouse, for to live like the field mouse is to ruin my potential.
