Have you ever been sad because you failed in something? If so, please remember, for often, achieving what
you expect is not the most important thing. Enjoy the process. Here is a story to tell you why.

working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch. "What are you doing?" asked one of the visitors. "I want to dig

a deep hole all the way through the earth!" the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling
him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.
The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. He
collected them and put them into a glass box patiently. Humming a song, he went on digging. The box was full
soon. Then he talked to himself quietly and proudly, "Maybe I can't finish digging all the way through the
earth, but look at what I have found in the process of digging!"
The boy's goal was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause us to keep working.
Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true.
But when you can't achieve your goal, maybe you can say, "Yes, but look at what I've found along the way!
There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I tried to do something!" It is in the
digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really has a meaning.

______________ , ____________________________.
73. When did the little boy decide to dig a hole behind his house?
