Finding the Right Metric
The third part of my life's purpose was to understand the metric by which my life will be measured.For me,this took the longest. I didn't come to understand that until about fifteen years after the experience at Oxford.
I was driving to work early one morning when I got a sudden and very strong impression that I was going to receive an important new assignment from my church, which has no professional clergy and asks every member to shoulder important duties. A couple of weeks later I learned that a particular church leader in the area was going to leave.I put two and two together and concluded that this was the opportunity that I received the impression about.
But that's not what happened. I learned that another man was asked to serve in this position.I was just crushed-not because I had ever aspired to a hierarchical position, but because I always have aspired to play an important role in strengthening our church.Somehow I felt that if I had been given this role, I would have been in a position to do more good for more people than if I weren't in the role.
找到正确的标尺
人生目标的第三个组成部分是用来评价人生的标尺，对我来说，理解这一部分花费的时间最多，直到离开牛津大学15年后，我才逐渐弄明白。
有一天早晨，我正开车去上班，突然产生强烈的感觉：我应该被任命担任所在教堂的一个职务。我所在的教堂没有专职的牧师，每一位成员都承担了重要责任。几个星期以后，我又了解到教堂的一位领导即将离开教堂，于是我推测这将是我获得这份工作的机会。
但事实却不是这样，另外一个人接手了这份工作。当时我快崩溃了，不是因为我渴望这个神权职位，而是因为我一直以来渴望能够在壮大教堂方面作出重要贡献。我觉得在这个位置上能比不在这个位置能为更多的人做更多的事。
