Days spent in expectation come and go really very fast. Very soon I Finished primary school, went to junior and senior school, and finally to college; with ever greater desire for more varied things: for graduation with honors, for an ideal job, for a successful career, for more earnings to share my parents' burden, for a satisfactory wife... Climbing the upward steps of hope I had become a fully grown man before I was aware of it, a busy breadwinner with a family on my hands.

Life began to show its various facets. Whether I have turned more vulgar or great, I have always something to look forward to. It may be arrival of a letter, publication of an article, the bonus-distributing day, a gratifying result of something, a get-together or a pleasure trip...Such expectations serve as a prop to a person's faith in life.

A day without hope would be unimaginably pale. There must be something to look forward to each day to brighten one's life and keep it out of shadows. To a person cherishing hopes every morning rises a new sun. Even if it is a fantasy or an illusion , so long as it shows a ray of hope it still urges you on in pursuit of that little sparkle without letup.

Deprived of moisture content, soil turns into desert. Deprived of hope, what is there left to a person? A small hope sustains a person for a day, a great one for a lifetime.

Human beings cannot do without something to look forward to.

在期盼中,日子真的过得飞快,转眼上了小学,继而初中,然后高中,最后大学;期盼的欲望更加强烈,期盼的内容也越渐丰富了:盼望有好成绩毕业,盼望有一份好工作,盼望事业有成,盼望挣钱替父母分忧,盼望有一个好爱人……不知不觉,天天踩着盼的石阶而上,自己竟成了一个大男人,一个挣钱养家糊口的忙碌人了。

生活开始变得复杂。然而,无论自己是否变得庸俗,变得伟大,盼头依然天天有:盼信件,盼稿件被采用,盼发奖金,盼某事有满意结果,盼一次聚会、一次旅行……人就在盼中找到了依托。   

没有盼头的日子是苍白不可想象的。人,得天天有点儿什么盼头,生活才不至于暗淡。有了盼头,会觉得太阳每天都是崭新的。不管是望梅止渴,还是画饼充饥,它都会激励你不停手中的桨,去追逐哪怕一星微小的火光。

土地去掉水分,就变成了沙漠;人没有了盼,还剩什么?小盼头支撑人的一天,大盼头支撑人的一生。 

人,是绝不能没有盼头的。
