Question

Who is setting your standards for you ?

A true story has it that one elder man   36   to jog around the local high school football field. As he huffed and puffed(氣喘吁吁) along, the team was   37  . The players soon started running sprints (斷距離疾跑)up and down the field. The man told himself “I will   38   keep running until they quit.”

So he ran. And they ran. And he ran some more. And they kept running. And he kept running until he   39   finally run no more. He stopped in   40  . One of the players, equally out of breath, approached him and said in a crying voice, “Boy, I am so glad that you finally stopped.  41  told us we had to keep running   42   the old guy who was jogging !” He was watching them. They were watching him. He was letting them set his   43  , on the contrary, they allow him to set  44  .

My question is this: Are you keeping   45  with somebody else in your daily life? Are you  46   people to set your standards for you? What about your standards, or   47   , for moral behavior or even your way of building up your own characteristics ? Or guidelines for what kind of life   48   you want? Negative or positive? Do you keep pace with those   49   you, or do you decided yourself just  50   you will live your life? The true is that only you are   51   to determine what your standards will be.

Set your standards to low, and you will know only   52  . But set high standards and you can live an immeasurably full and   53   life. For only when you   54   the best that is within yourself, will you experience great living. Just as an old saying goes: “Think big   55  , and win big success.”
