【正确答案】As can be seen from the picture, a man is standing by the precipice, with a large black sign behind him, which indicates the right direction. The title reads "Direction". Obviously, this picture intends to convey to us this message: it is not where we are that counts hut the direction we choose does. Put another way, if we don't have a right direction or set up a wrong goal, all our efforts will just turn out to be a failure. We may even get into dangerous situations.
I want to take Li Kaifu, a former vice president of Microsoft, as an example. His first major was law studies, but soon he found himself crazy about programming. He resolutely changed his goal and strived to get A grades in all the computer courses. The result was rewarding: he is now a world famous computer scientist. Without this change in mind, he could be a mediocre lawyer but could never be so great as he is now.
A wrong direction, in addition, may even push us over a precipice, just as the picture has indicated. Naturally, it's not exaggerating to say that direction or goat means life and death. It is therefore highly sensible that we find our own right direction and then stick to it.
