   The world's most abominable, is the ear asleep people, close your eyes, pretend that nothing can see, nothing quite hear, but in fact, the heart is like a clear mirror, all the heart knows.

   Do not dare to face reality, pretend to sleep! The process of avoiding the struggle is extremely cowardly. Dreaming from time to time, a kind of fully awake dream, dreaming of miracles, dreaming of life, obstacles automatically cleared, dreaming of a smooth and prosperous road underfoot, dreaming of a life without thorns and gullies.

   But the dream is a dream, after all, there is always a day to wake up, the moment you open your eyes since you find that the foot, the long boulder is still there, blocking their steps forward, the half-meter wide gully in front of you is still there.

   All of this, how can they do not know, the obstacles under their feet, no one will help themselves to clean up, but the cowardly self, do not dare to face all this in front of them, infinite delay, unwilling to push that stone into the gully ahead, afraid that they can not push, even if they understand, not push is never know, whether they can push, however, is afraid of failure, not to act. So close your eyes and wait and wait for the draping of the heavens.

   I am so pious, so understanding, so eager to achieve the goal, how can the heavens not be favored, how can not be good to themselves, how can not help themselves, clear the obstacles on the road of life! I am the one who understands the true meaning of the world, I am the one who can grasp all the rules and steps to do something well. Why don't you help me to clear the obstacles? If you help me to clear the obstacles, I will do something enviable.

   However, inside you understand the truth that knowing how to do something does not necessarily mean that you will do it. When a person tells you how to swim, how to stroke your hands, how to move your feet, you remember all the positions, you can't swim, think you have learned to swim at this time? You are like Xiao Zhao, the back will be the Qiankun Danyanyao mind, and it can become a martial arts master. Driving license, after the examination section one, familiar with all the traffic rules, so you can drive it.

   A person understands the rules of doing things, and knows the steps to do things, but not necessarily do things! You understand, but do not want to admit it!

   Some people say you are whimsical, waiting for the pie to fall from the sky, and you will certainly retort: how can you say that I am this kind of person, how can I be this kind of person, I have never thought, get something for nothing, what I am after, is to get through their efforts.

   Buy the lottery jackpot, overnight riches are waiting for the pie to fall from the sky, they only want to get something for nothing. I think, only eating their own, hand-caught fish, the most peace of mind. What I despise most in my life is those who want to explode overnight and get something for nothing, don't compare us to each other! I am, however, a person who never buys lottery tickets, and does not gamble; a person who can see opportunities; a person who knows how can reach the goal; a person who knows how to change his fate; I am a person who knows where to catch the fish, only I do not have a fishing net!

   You are not wrong, you are indeed different from those who buy lottery tickets and become rich overnight, but more hateful than those people, because those people are ignorant, they can't see the opportunity, while you can; they don't know where to catch fish, while you can. They are the ones who are asleep, just pathetic!

   You, on the other hand, are different, your heart is like a mirror, you know who you are, you know where you should go, you know where your opportunities are, and you know how to take your chances. As you say, you can see the fish and know how to catch them, all you need is a fishing net! But you don't want to weave the net, you are afraid of trouble, afraid that you can't weave a good net, and you can't catch the fish, or you miss some fish.

   So you pretend to sleep, waiting, waiting for the favor of the heavens, waiting for the reward of a perfect fishing net, waiting for a sudden burst of potential! You simply understand that you will never wait for this day, but your cowardice, no courage to face failure. You don't dare to face that you weave a bad net; you don't dare to face that you see ten fish, but can only catch one.

   So you wait, waiting for a suitable opportunity, waiting for a perfect fishing net, waiting for the moment to catch all the fish in one net. And so you wait! Wait! Waiting for the last moment of your life, but still no perfect net. You will end up with nothing, such an ending, in your both unexpected and expected.

   You began to regret, blame yourself, this life, should have been a chance, should have been a glimmer of hope, but because of their cowardice, fear of failure, afraid to face reality, afraid to face themselves. Since you have made one, knowing it by heart but muddling through and pretending to be asleep! The only way to wait for a perfect moment that will never appear, delayed, belongs to their great future.

   How hateful you are compared to those who know nothing and are so pathetic that they need to put their trust in the lottery and get rich overnight, burying themselves!

   And I am the one who can't wake up the ears, do you want to pretend to sleep forever?
