Do Learn, the first essay in ancient chinese language I learned from my textbook.
I translated it yesterday as relaxation. May be you like it.
Is there anything in the world which is difficult or easy?
Do it, then it become easy to do which is difficult to do originally,
Not do it, then it become difficult to do which is easy to do originally.
Is there anything which is difficult to learn when one want to learn?
Learn it, then it become easy to do which is difficult to learn originally,
Not learn it, then it become difficult to do which is easy to learn originally.
There were 2 monks in undeveloped Shu. One is poor, the other is rich.
The poor asked the rich:
" I want to go to South Ocean. How do you think about it?"
" What do you go there with?"
" One bottle and one bowl are enough." the poor answered.
" I want to buy boat to go downstream for many years. But I failed. What do you go there with?"
One year passed.
The poor was back from South Ocean and told the rich about his travel.
There is a bit of shame in the rich's face.
It is about several thousands of mile from West Shu to South Ocean. The rich was unable to arrive there but the poor arrived there.
When you make up your mind,
Would you be left behind the poor from undeveloped Shu?
