编者按：热带雨林中的蝴蝶，偶尔扇动几下翅膀，便可以引起德克萨斯州的一场龙卷风。
其实在我们的生命中，每个人都是那只可以改变命运蝴蝶。人生中的每一个想法、每一个步伐、每一个选择都将成为堆砌起未来的砖石，没有任何一段时光无关紧要，没有任何一个选择无关痛痒。
若回顾从前并改变创造你人生的众多时刻中的一个，或许随后的一切全将改变。这是蝴蝶效应，这是每一段时光里暗藏的生命奥秘——你的每一个未来，都藏在你当下的每一秒。
“Thank you for your application. We would like to congratulate you,” the letter read. Those words can make your heart skip a beat and bring tears to your eyes. The feeling of following your dreams is inexplicable and proof that all your hard work was worth it.
It is a signpost in life, a trail marker. It is a day you will never forget, the day you opened that envelope and your future was revealed. But what about all those days in-between—the ones that make and break you, the days that are nothing special.
Would you have received that acceptance letter had you not attended the college fair at your school? What if you had forgotten to send an essay with your application, would you have been rejected?
In life, one step creates the next. Each day is of equal importance, no matter how good or bad. There is no moment in life that does not matter. Regardless of how insignificant, each choice, each day, each idea, is the birth of the next. Something simple can completely reshape your life. It’s just like the Butterfly Effect and you never know what is at the end. To go back in time and change one moment in the many that create your life could change everything that follows.
If I’ve learned anything, it is that everything matters. You can struggle through life in an attempt to create the perfect path, but the truth is you will always wonder if it could have been better. Everything is important and nothing need be changed—to climb up the hill may be difficult, but you’ll reach the top no matter which path you choose.
