I have two friends who love backpacking. They spent a lot of time in a part of New York State's Adirondack Mountains. It 　　 46 mountains with a height of over 4,000 feet. The Adirondack Mountain Club gives 　　 recognition, and an award, to anyone who 　 　　 　 all 46 mountains. My two friends decided to go for this award.

Now what you have to understand is that 　 　　 　 many of the 46 mountains have well-marked 　　 　 to their summits (山顶), others are not marked at all. You have to "bushwhack (在丛林中开路)" using a compass and a map.

My friends had climbed 45 of the mountains. They had just one 　　 　 — it was the most 　　 requiring bushwhacking. A hiking path led past the base of the mountain, but from that point they were on their own.

Early one morning they left their 　 　　 and walked five miles on the hiking path to the base of a chain of mountains. When they arrived, they 　　 　 that they had left their compass and map back in camp. Rather than 　　 the camp, they decided to bushwhack without the compass and map.

For hours they 　　 uphill enduring heat, thick bush, and black flies. 　 　　 　 , late in the afternoon they found themselves at the 　　 of a mountain successfully. They were exhausted but 　　 　 .

The feeling was short-lived, however. When they looked across the valley, they 　 　　 another higher mountain. They had climbed the 　　 one! It was too 　 　　 　 that weekend to put their error right. They had to 　　 　 another four months to climb the right mountain.

This story 　　 　 us a good lesson. Often in life we put in a great effort to reach a goal. But without the right "map" and "compass", it is 　　 　 to get "lost".
