B
My dad loves his wine. One day while making a sandwich, I noticed the date on one of his wine
bottles. I then took it out of the pantry (食品贮藏室) and rushed toward my father.
“Dad, Dad!” I shouted. “This wine is way past its ‘best before’ date.”
“Son, hold on,” he said.
“No, you can’t drink this any more!”
“Wait, let me tell you... ”
“Would you like me to throw it away for you?” I asked.
“Ha, ha, no. Let me explain something,” my father said cheerfully.
“But...” I didn’t want my father getting sick.
“Son. some wines get better over time. The longer you wait to drink it. the better it will be. Although
this may seem strange. it is true.”
When I was young, I didn’t have any understanding of what this meant. But now, looking back, this
would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenager years.
We are all so keen to reach the next step quickly that we will do anything to get there. This has a
negative effect on our society. In a job situation, we want promotion so much that we will step on others.
When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in. When we rush through our
homework, we may not study enough for the test, and end up failing. All these common situations have
one thing in common: they could all be solved if we just took our time.
When we don’t fully prepare ourselves for the next level, we become a society of people who aren’t
ready, but want the rewards of reaching the next level. This cheats others who have prepared and deserve
the job. We need to be ready for whatever comes, ready for the unexpected. Just as wine gets better over
time, so will the things in our paths.
