I will never forget what my old headmaster told me．Normally when you are only 15years of age you do not remember most of the things that are preached by your teachers．But, this particular story is one such lesson that I will never forget．Every time I drift off course, I get reminded of this story．
It was a normal Monday morning at an assembly, and he was addressing the students on important things in life and about committing ourselves to what is important to us．This is how the story went:
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway．He would get the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg．He would do this every single day of his life．He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years．
His house was filthy, and a stench （恶臭） came out of the house and it smelled horribly．The neighbours could not stand the smell anymore, so they summoned the police officers to clear the place．The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house．There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years．
The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire．They waited outside his house in anticipation to share the good news with him．When he arrived home that evening, he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire．
He said nothing at all: he went into his house and locked the door．The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, got into the train, and sat at the street corner and continued to beg．
Obviously, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant for his life．We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing, commitment（专心，敬业）．We should remain true to our course, although it may mean committing ourselves to things that people around us would normally disapprove．Just keep it in mind that commitment attracts wealth．

Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His house was dirty, and a stench (恶臭) came out of the house and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire (百万富翁). They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire.
But the old man said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant (有意义的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.
