我们做的每一件事都是朝着一个或另一个方向前进一步。 甚至
没有做任何事情
这件事本身也是一种行为，它让我们前进或后退，一根刺针阴极的作用和阳极的作用都是一样真实的，拒绝也是一种接受--这些都是二中择一的选择。
你今天比昨天更接近你的港口了吗？是的--你必须接近某一个港口或者其他港口。自从你第一次被抛人生活之海，你的船连一分钟都没有静止过，海是如此之深，你也不可能找到一个抛锚的地方，于是你不可能停下来，知道你到达自己的港口。
We are on a
journey
Wherever you are, and whoever you may be,
there is one thing in which you and I are just alike at this
moment, and in all the moments of our existence. We are not at
rest, we are on a journey. Our life is a movement, a tendency, a
steady, ceaseless progress towards an unseen
goal.
We are gaining something, or losing something,
or losing something, everyday. Even when our position and our
character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing. For
the mereadvance of time is a change. It is not the same thing to
have a bare field in January and in July. The season makes the
difference. The limitations that are childlike in the child are
childish in the man.
Everything that we do is a step in one direction
or another. Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed.
it sets us forward or backward. the action of the negative pole of
a magnetic needle is just as real as the action of the positive
pole. To decline is to accept--the other
alternative.
Are you nearer to your port today than you were
yesterday? yes, you must be a little nearer to some port or other
for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life, you
have never been still for a single monment, the sea is too deep,
you could not find an anchorage if you would, there can be no pause
until you come into port.
