Bernard is a famous French writer, who created a large number of novels and plays in his life, and plays a particularly important position in the history of French film and drama. Once, a French newspaper had a prize quiz, including such a question: if the Louvre, the largest museum in France, was on fire, the situation was allowed to save only one painting, which one would you go to rescue? Out of tens of thousands of responses, Bernard's answer won the gold medal. His answer: I saved the painting closest to the exit. The best goal for success is not the most valuable one, but the one most likely to be achieved.

In today's society, those who are content to muddle along are in the minority. Most people are eager to make a difference. However, it is not without regret that so few people are truly successful. The reason may be complicated and various, but one is sure, that a lot of people are not good at the correct analysis of subjective and objective conditions, and grasp the opportunity of success, eyes only tempting targets "most valuable" goal, and give up the "most likely to achieve" the goal, the result left Yi is difficult, and often frustrated after a setback, If you don't work hard, you won't succeed.

The choice is a kind of wisdom. A wise choice is half the battle. Most of the time, we have already failed at the beginning of the choice. For example, if you run after a rabbit with your bare hands in the wild, the fat rabbit is dainty and fast, and the lame rabbit is much smaller. You insist on running after the big one, but in vain. For example, you encounter thirst on the way on the expedition, and no drinking water, luck found that there is a peach tree on the roadside, but unfortunately, the partial tree is some of the less common half-ripe small peaches, you think, the peach tree must be full of large and fresh fruit. So, you endure the unbearable thirst on the road, but on the journey, you did not find the peach tree.

There is a story in Aesop's Fables: a warbler was singing in a tree when a kite came and caught it. Just as the warbler was about to be eaten, he asked the hawk to let him go, saying that he could not feed the hawk at all and that if he wanted to eat, he should catch a bigger bird. If I let go of what I have in my hand and look for what I have not yet seen, shall I be a fool? What a clever kite, whose choice is as wise as Bernard's. It understands that it is better to grasp reality than to pursue nothing.

Giving up their power can not reach the goal, people's desire is infinite, but their ability is limited. Ambition beyond their actual ability, to bring people is not only the burden of thankless and unfulfilled regret but more importantly, is to exhaust a person to achieve success.

In the journey of life, we should learn from Bernard, grasp "possible", cherish "have", and build their ideal platform on the ground of reality, rather than create a mirage of the false fantasy!
