Carrying a boat to catch up

A young man came a long way to Master Wuji carrying a big parcel on his back. He said, "Master, I am so lonely, painful, and lonesome, the long journey has exhausted me to the core, I have tasted the heartache and bitterness of the earth, why can't I find the sunshine in my heart yet."

The master asked, "What is in your package?" The young man said, "It is important to me, it contains the pain I feel every time I fall, the crying I feel after every injury, the worry I feel every time I am lonely ...... rely on it, I can walk you here."

So, Master Wuji took the young man to the river and crossed it in a boat. After disembarking, the master said, "You carry the boat and hurry." The young man was surprised: "It is so heavy, can I carry it?" "Yes, son, you can't carry it. The boat is useful when crossing the river, but after crossing the river we have to put it down and hurry, otherwise it will become our burden. Pain, loneliness, loneliness, disaster, and tears, all these are useful for life, they can make life sublimated, but after a while, it becomes the burden of life. Let it go! Child, life cannot be too weighty."

The young man put down his burden and continued his journey, and he found his steps easy and pleasant, and much faster than before. It turns out that life does not have to be so heavy.

Inspiration: pain, loneliness, loneliness, disasters, tears, these things are valuable assets in life, it can make people sober, mature, long insight, out of wisdom, the so-called "eat a lesson to grow a wisdom" is also. But if we take it as a heavy burden on our shoulders, it will make us unable to carry the weight forward. In the end, under the weight of the span off, down.

Blind eel phenomenon

There is a very small and disabled animal living in the ocean, the blind eel. Its size is only half the size of an eel, and its eyes are blind. But it has a way of dealing with the king of the sea - the shark.

The mouth of the blind eel resembles an oval-shaped suction cup with sharp teeth. When the blind eel with a suction cup-like mouth adsorbed in the shark, the shark does not realize the danger to itself. Blind eel little by little to the shark's gills slide, the unknowingly blind eel has entered the body of the shark. After entering the shark's body, the blind eel began to devour the shark's internal organs and muscles. The blind eel eats a lot, swallowing twice its weight every hour. Backyard fire, in the underwater world, is invincible, the unbeatable shark, but at this time can not resist the blind eel inside the two long rows of sharp teeth. In this way, the shark was eaten clean from the inside out by the blind eel.

Revelation: this phenomenon of small fish eating big fish, in our life is also reflected in the body of people. Those seemingly insignificant little problems, little shortcomings, are not the "blind eel"? This also reveals to us that a person has a shortcoming, even if it is a very small shortcoming, if not paid attention to, not overcome, the development will evolve into major shortcomings and mistakes. "A toe of the disease, the loss of seven feet of the body; mole cricket hole, the collapse of a thousand miles of the dike." A person degenerates to become bad, often from the small things to open the gap, step by step towards the crime, ruining a person's life future. Therefore, we can not hold an indifferent attitude to small mistakes and shortcomings, we must prevent the smallest and eliminate the smallest, to eliminate bad ideas, bad culture, and bad practices in the bud.
