No Draft to Sketch One's Life

   When i was learning calligraphy my teacher told me a story.

   A calligrapher taught handwriting.One of his students who often practiced handwriting with old sheets of newspapers complained that he made very little progress though he  had liarene it with the calligrapher for a long time. His teacher said to him,"Try to rse the best paper.Maybe you'll write better."

   The strdent did as he was told. It reslly worked. He made headway not long afterwards and felt cuious. He asked"When you used old newspapers to practice handwriting, you wrote bakly as old newspapers were plenty in supply. In that case you wouldn't pay much attention to it. Now you use the best paper you'll treasure it. Each time you write you feel strongly about the rarity of chances and you'll devote to it with all your heart and soul; you'll do the handwriting much more attentively than otherwise practicing it. Of course you've made rapid progress."

   Indeed, we spend our ordinary days just as they are worthless "old newspapers." We don't care if we scrawl and waste them, thinking that they will come indlessly_those "old newspapers"are inexhaustible. In such a mood we may each day pass by opportunities but fail to catch any of them.

   Life is not a military exercise but an actual war in which real weapons are used. In everyday life there's no chance for us to draft. That's because what we call"draft" actually is the answer sheet we write that cannot be changed.

   Every day of our life is something new. Let us take every day as a sheet of best paper.
