每天都做一点点

  天色灰暗,几名游客驱车行驶在山中一条铺满松针的小道上,茂密的常青树罩在他们的上空。越往前去,山中的景色愈加荒凉。突然,在转过一个弯后,他们一下子震惊得喘不过气来。

  就在眼前,就在山顶,就在沟壑和树林灌木间,有好大一片水仙花。各色各样的水仙花怒放着,从象牙般的淡黄到柠檬般的嫩黄,漫山遍野地燃烧着,像一块美丽的地毯,一块燃烧着的地毯。

  是不是太阳不小心跌倒了,如小溪般将金子漏在山坡上?在这令人迷醉的黄色的正中,是一片紫色的风信子,如瀑布倾泻在黄色正中。一条小径穿越花海,小径两旁是成排珊瑚色的郁金香。仿佛这一切还不够美丽似的,倏忽有一两只蓝鸟掠过花丛,或在花丛间嬉戏。它们的红色胸脯和宝蓝色的翅膀就像闪动的宝石。

  是谁创造了这么美丽的景色?是谁创造了这样一座完美的花园?在这个荒无人烟的地带,这座花园是怎样建成的?无数的问号在游客的脑海里跳跃,他们下车走入园中。

  花园的中心有一栋小木屋,上面有一行字:我知道您要什么,这儿是给您的回答。第一个回答是:一位妇人两只手、两只脚和一点想法;第二个回答是:一点点时间;第三个回答是:开始于1958年。

  面对简洁的文字,游客们默默无语。一位平凡的妇人,凭借40年间一点点的、不停的努力,①竟然创造出一个美丽的奇迹,而这一片世界也因为她的努力变得更加美丽。

  在我们年轻的心中,成功是一个令人神往的字眼儿,就如同远方的那一座雄伟的山峰,可望而难以企及。然而,当我们面对这座燃烧的花园时,我们就会明白,成功其实很简单,那就是每天只做一点点,但又坚持着每天都做一点点,就能像那位平凡的妇人那样最终创造出一座美丽的花园。如果能够选准目标持之以恒地做下去,总有一天,②奇迹也会在我们的面前诞生
