An old carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer（雇主）of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more relaxing life with his wife and children. He would miss the paycheck,but he needed to retire. They thought they could support themselves for the rest of their life.
The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house. The carpenter said yes,but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to bad workmanship and used poor building materials.
It was an unlucky way to end his working life. When the carpenter finished his work and the employer came to see the house,he handed the front door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said," my gift to you."
What a shock！What a shame！If he had only known he was building his own house,he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted（不专注的）way,willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that,we would have done it differently.
It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more,that day deserves to lived with dignity（尊严）.
The sentence on the wall reads,"Life is a do-it-yourself project. "Who could say it more clearly?Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices you make today.

For many people, having your own business sounds like the perfect job. You can do work that you love. You can set your own timetable, and wear jeans to work. You never have to________a boss, and you make all decisions yourself. You can even raise your salary any time you want.
But the reality is different. "Having your own business can be________,"says David Paik. After working for an advertising agency for six years, he started a website design business at home. His income in the first two months was $0.________, he got a big project creating a website for a magazine. Then he had a new problem: his timetable. "I was working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, because I didn't have employees to help me." Today, Palk Web Design is successful, but David says, "I really wasn't prepared to be a business owner. I didn't________the difficulty."
With no boss, it's easy to take too much time off-and get too little work done. With no workmates, you might feel bored or________. You have to pay for your own holidays. If you make a bad business decision, you could lose all the money. For all of these reasons, more than half of all new business fail within one year.
Another problem is balancing work with personal life. As a business owner, you can't just stop at 5 p. m. and forget about your work until tomorrow. "Even when I'm watching TV in the evening, I'm always thinking about my________and projects," says David Paik.
Still, hundreds of people around the world start businesses every day, and most enjoy the experience. "There are lots of advantages to having your own business," says Denise Williams, the owner of a women's clothing store. "You can decide exactly how to do your work, how much money you want to make, and who will work for you."
