An old carpenter (木匠) was ready to leave his job. He told his boss about his plans to leave the house-building business. He wanted to live a more comfortable life with his wife. The boss was sorry to see his good worker go. He asked the carpenter to build one last house for him.
The carpenter said yes, but it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. Soon the carpenter finished his work. The boss came to check the house, then he handed the front door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you." What a shock! What a shame (羞愧)!
If he could build the house one more time, he would do it all so differently. Now he had to live in the house he built carelessly.
So it is with us. We build our lives in a careless way. Sometimes we do not give the job our best work. Then we look at the situation and find that we are now living in the house we built. If we knew that, we would do it differently.
Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Build it carefully. It is the only life you will ever build.

His story gives me a lot of confidence. As a result, I am not as shy as I used to be. I'm not afraid of making a speech in front of people any more. I also want to travel and have some exciting experiences in the future.
Just read it for yourself! I'm sure you'll like it.
