有个聪明的年轻人,一心想当一名成功者。可是许多年过去了,他却屡屡失败。于是,他决定拜访智者,寻求成功的秘诀。“执着!”智者听完这个年轻人的叙述说道。为了证明这个论断,他讲了一则发人深省的故事:有一位父亲要到野猪岭去狩猎,先让三个儿子分头探路。老大骑马走了三天,翻过三座大山,来到一望无际的草地,得知还要过沼泽,他便打道回府。老二步行了四天,穿过了一片沼泽,被一座大山挡了回去。 There is a smart young man who wants to be a successful person. But many years have passed and he has repeatedly failed. So he decided to visit the wise man and seek the secret of success. “Persistent!” said the wise men listening to the young man’s narrative. In order to prove this assertion, he told a thought-provoking story: There is a father who wants to go to Boarling to hunt, and let the three sons go their separate ways. The oldest horseman rode away for three days, turned over three mountains, and came to an endless stretch of grass. When he learned that he was going to swamp, he went back home. The second child walked for four days, passed through a swamp, and was blocked by a large mountain.
