天下事有难易乎?为之,则难者亦易矣;不为,则易者亦难矣。人之为学有难易乎?学之,则难者亦易矣;不学,则易者亦难矣。
蜀之鄙有二僧,其一贫,其一富。贫者语于富者曰:“吾欲之南海,何如?”
富者曰:“子何恃而往?”
曰:“吾一瓶一钵足矣。”
富者曰:“吾数年来欲买舟而下,犹未能也。子何恃而往!”
越明年,贫者自南海还,以告富者。富者有惭色。
西蜀之去南海,不知几千里也,僧富者不能至而贫者至焉。人之立志,顾不如蜀鄙之僧哉?
Once upon a time, at the far corner of county Shu, there're two monks, one was poor, and the other was rich. One day, the poor said to the rich: "Man, I want to go to south sea, what do you think?
The rich asked: how?
"One rice bowl and one bottle will do".
"Yeah, right. I have been planning to buy a boat for the trip, however years passed I am still here, I don’t think you can go with just a bowl and a bottle.”
The poor went anyway, upon his return from South Sea the next year, He notified the rich monk, the rich guy was ashamed of himself.
There’s thousands miles from Shu county to South Sea, the rich monk could not make it but the poor did.
The moral of this story is: if you are determined to do something, you can be as successful as the poor monk.
