蝙蝠、荆棘和海鸥
一只蝙蝠、一棵荆棘和一只海鸥结成了合作伙伴关系，决定一起进行一次贸易航行。蝙蝠为他的冒险借了一笔钱作为投资；荆棘戴的投资是衣服，它夹在各种各样的衣服里； 海鸥的投资是金属铅，它装了许多铅上船了。他们就这样出发了。过了一会儿，暴风雨来了，他们的船连同所有的货物都沉到了海底，但是这三个旅行者还是设
法到达了陆地。从那以后，海鸥就在海面上飞来飞去，不时地潜到水面下，寻找他失去的金属铅的线索； 蝙蝠非常害怕遇到向它所要钱财的债主，白天躲起来，晚上才出来觅食； 荆棘抓住每个经过的人的衣服，希望有一天能认出并找回丢失的衣服。
寓意：所有的人都更关心他们失去的东西，而不是设法得到他们缺少的东西。（人生旅途，需要不断充电。重新扬帆起航，创造明天的辉煌！因消耗掉的电量已找不回来。）
英文全文如下：
The Bat, the Bramble, and the Seagull
A Bat, a Bramble, and a Seagull went into partnership and determined to go on a trading voyage together. The Bat borrowed a sum of money for his venture; the Bramble laid in a stock of clothes of various kinds; and the Seagull took a quantity of lead: and so they set out.
By and by a great storm came on, and their boat with all the cargo went to the bottom, but the three travellers managed to reach land.
Ever since then the Seagull flies to and fro over the sea, and every now and then dives below the surface, looking for the lead hes lost; while the Bat is so afraid of meeting his creditors that he hides away by day and only comes out at night to feed; and the Bramble catches hold of the clothes of every one who passes by, hoping some day to recognize and recover the lost garments.
All men are more concerned to recover what they lose than to acquire what they lack.
深度醒悟：
1. 找回失去的东西与设法赢得所缺的东西，是两个不同的概念。一个是徒劳活在过去，一个是富足活在当下。
2. 心存侥幸找回失去的灿烂，成功几率渺茫或无望。而脚踏实地为未来辉煌去创造、去奋斗，才是王道！
3. 忙忙碌碌一辈子，有些东东失去了，不会再来，也找不回来，不要枉费心机浪费时间再去做投机。浪费的时间和生命无法补救！
4. 该放弃的就放弃吧，人生短暂，未来缺乏太多，珍惜当下，追求未来，创造辉煌才能补回所失，富足所有。
5. 合作伙伴很重要，需谨慎，遇事各奔东西的合作伙伴就免了吧。
6. 投资有风险，更需谨慎！
7. 人生旅途，需要不断充电，需要重新扬帆起航，在新的征程上不断读书学习，不断创新，不断完善，才会走向光明，明天更美好！
7. 更喜欢英文的All men are more concerned to recover what they lose than to acquire what they lack.句中 “recover ”and “ acquire”这两个词 更令人深思！
