When the great library of Alexandria burned,the story goes,one book was saved.But it was not a valuable book,and a poor man got it.
The book wasn't very interesting,but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed.It was a thin strip of vellum（羊皮纸）on which was written the cret of the "Touchstone".
The touchstone was a small pebble（鹅卵石）that could turn any common metal into pure gold.
The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it.But the cret was this：The real stone would feel warm,while ordinary pebbles are cold.
So the man sold his hou,bought a tent,camped on the ashore,and began testing pebbles.He knew that if he picked up normal pebbles and threw them down again becau they were cold,he might pick up the same pebbles hundreds of times.So,when he felt one that was cold,he threw it into the a.He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone.Yet he went on and on this way.Pick up a pebble.Cold-t
hrow it into a.Pick up another.Throw it into the a.The days stretched into months and the months into years.
One day,however,about mid-afternoon,he picked up a pebble and it was warm.He threw it into the a before he realized what he had done.He was ud to throwing each pebble into the a as soon as he picked it up.So when the one he wanted came along,he still threw it away.
So it is with opportunity.Unless we are vigilant，it's easy to fail to realize an opportunity when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away.

Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one wa
y or another.Choice,we are given to believe,is a right.But for a good many people in the world,in rich or poor countries,choice is a luxury,something wonderful but hard to get,not a right.And for tho who think they are exercising their right to make choices,the whole system is merely an illusion,a fal idea created by companies and advertir,hoping to ll their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives.Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple.Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a n of powerlessness in many people,ending in the shopper giving up and walking away,or just buying an unsuitable item（商品）that is not really wanted.Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed.More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals,lifestyle instructors,or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem,but the speed with which new types of products come on the market.Advances in design and production help quicken the process Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persua
ded to replace them within a short time.The typical example is computers,which are almost out-of-date once they are bought.This indeed makes lection a problem.Gone are the days when one could just walk with ca into a shop and buy one thing；no choice,no anxiety.
