奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
In factories for making cloth a single broken thread ruins a whole web; it is traced back to the girl who made the blunder and the loss is deducted from her wages. But who shall pay for the broken threads in life's great web? We cannot throw back and forth an empty shuttle; threads of some kind follow every movement as we weave the web of our fate. It may be a shoddy thread of wasted hours or lost opportunities that will mar the fabric and mortify the workman forever; or it may be a golden thread which will add to its beauty and luster. We cannot stop the shuttle or pull out the unfortunate thread which stretches across the fabric, a perpetual witness of our folly.

白话
织布厂里一根断线就能毁掉整匹布，厂里会追查到出错的工人，扣她工资。可人生这匹大布上的断线，谁来赔？我们织命运时，梭子不能空着来回，每动一下都带进某种线：可能是浪费掉的时间、错过的机会这种劣质线，让布面留下瑕疵，让织布的人永远难堪；也可能是金线，让布更美更亮。梭子停不下来，那根坏线也抽不掉，它会一直横在布上，成为愚蠢的永久证据。所以每一下都要当心。
上下文
马登用织布比喻人生，说明每个选择都会在命运之布上留下痕迹。
今日一问
你今天织进命运之布的，是金线还是劣质线？
