在这个水仙花园中得出的定律是值得庆祝的最伟大的定律之一。那就是，懂得向我们的目标迈进，只求一步一个脚印——通常一次就一小步——懂得去热爱正在做的事，懂得利用时间的积累。当我们把时间的碎片叠加，再加上每天的一点努力，我们会发现我们也能成就辉煌。我们也能改变这个世界。
“这让我在某种意义上有点丧气。”我跟卡罗琳说，“如果我35年前有一个宏伟的目标，然后也像这样，‘一次种一株’地做下去，这些年我会有什么成就呢？想想我到底能做成什么！”
女儿直截了当地总结了那天的收获。她说：“从明天开始。”

第一章 A Turtle Brought Me“Enlightenment”
·Michael Chase·
Life is good，really good. Sometimes I feel like the good karma train picks me up，and simply refuses to let me off. I have an amazing wife，a teenage son that makes me glow with pride，good health，a wonderful family and the best friends a guy could ask for. I have a lot to be grateful for. For many years now，“thank you”has become my meditation as I start each day.
But the truth is，life was not always this good. It wasn’t all that long ago，when the resume of my life looked radically different. At one time，my life was filled with nearly everything that people try to avoid. Experiencing everything from unhappy relationships to financial struggles，poor health，depression，and an endless stream of negative habits was a part of my daily life. It seemed that no matter how hard I tried，happiness was constantly eluding me and disappointment became my shadow. It also seemed as if I was paving the way for a future that sadly resembled my father’s，until he took his own life at the age of 54. T
