追问不一样，我的是15空的，谢谢了
追答An old carpenter(木匠)was ready to retire(退休)．He told his boss that he was leaving to live an easy life with his family．
The boss was sorry to see his best worker go and asked if he could build just one more house．The carpenter said yes, but it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work．He used bad wood and didn’t work as well as before．
When the carpenter finished his work, his boss came to see the house．Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, “This is your house…my gift to you．”
The carpenter was surprised!
If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all differently．
So it is the same with us．We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building．Then, in surprise, we know that we have to live in the house we have built．If we could do it again, we would do it much differently．But you cannot go back．
Someone once said, “Life is a do-it-yourself job．” So, build your house well!
