　　Some people believe that dreams can tell them what will happen in the future．Nobody knows why, but there are many stories about people who have had dreams that came true．One of these people was a man called John Chapman, who lived in the small town of Swaffham in England．He dreamed that he was standing on London Bridge and a man told him how to become rich．John Chapman was　poor man and he needed money, so the next day he set off for London Bridge．There were plenty of people on the bridge, but they were not interested in him．They all ignored．After three days, he decided to go home, but before he could do this, a shopkeeper approached him．

　　“ I've been watching you,” the shopkeeper said．“ Are you waiting for someone?”

　　“Yes,” said John．“I had a dream about a man on London Bridge．He was going to lead me to a lot of money．”

　　“Oh,” said the shopkeeper．“ You shouldn't believe in dreams．If I believe in dreams, I'd be in Swaffham right now．I had a dream about a few days age about a man from Swaffham．His name was John Chapman and he had gold in his garden near an old apple tree．”

　　John was amazed and immediately headed for home．As soon as he arrived, he dug in his garden near the apple tree．He soon found many pieces of gold．He was so delighted that he gave some of the gold to his local church．He was a rich man for the rest of his life．

　　A young man in Japan wanted to be a great artist．He thought that he must study with the best teacher who lived many miles away．After traveling for several days, he arrived at the school and then visited the teacher．“What do you wish to learn from me? ” the teacher asked．

　　“I want you to teach me your art and help me become one of the best artists in the country, ” the young man replied．“How long must I study? ”

　　“Ten years at least．” The teacher answered．

　　The guy thought, “Ten years is a lot of time．I don't have that much time．”

　　So he asked the teacher, “What if I study twice as hard as everyone else does? How long would it take then? ”

　　“Then it would take twenty years, ” replied the teacher．

　　The guy thought, “That's even longer! I don't want to spend twenty years learning something．Certainly if I try really hard I could learn it much quicker．”

　　So the student asked again, “What if I practice day and night with all my effort? How long would it take? ”

　　“Thirty years, ” the teacher answered．The young student wondered why the teacher kept telling him that it would take longer．

　　He asked the teacher, “Why is it that each time I said I would work harder, you told me that it would take longer? ”

　　“The answer is simple．With one eye looking at your destination(目的地), there is only one eye left with which to find the way, ” the teacher said．

　　Any endeavor(尝试)takes effort, but it also takes patience．If we have one without the other, we get off balance(平衡)．With only effort, we try and try but get frustrated(失落的)when we do not see results as fast as we would like, or we get tired very quickly．With only patience and no effort, we never really put our full attention to a task．This is as true with school work．
