7 . There are two roads that people can take.     1    No matter which choice you make, one thing is certain.    2    

My father taught me this important rule. Each week he would lay out the chores (家务) for the next seven days. Many of them could be done any time during the week.    3     If completed, we could do something fun with the family. If not completed, fun was taken away and that person stayed home to complete the chore. I only had to miss my deadline a couple of times to realize that I needed to pay up front and finish my work on time.

    4     I’m teaching it to my children, Elizabeth and Joe. I want them to realize that there is no such thing as a “free lunch”.     5    The sooner they can take control of their desires (欲 望) and give them up to life’s demands, the more successful they will become. John Foster said, “A man without decision of character can never be said to belong to himself — He belongs to whatever can make captive (俘虏) of him.” My friend often reminds me that “when we pay later, the price is greater!”

A．Life will demand a payment.

B．Life is not a gift but an investment (投资).

C．This lesson has been valuable to me.

D．So we can make a decision by ourselves.

E．Our goal was to complete them by Saturday noon.

F．They can either make excuses or make progress in life.

G．They can either play now and pay later or pay now and play later.
