Sitting in the well and watching the sky, the frog and the bird, who said what makes more sense Why

The truth is that we must look at problems from a certain height and see them comprehensively.

Sitting in a well and watching the sky is talking about a frog sitting at the bottom of a well and looking at the sky, and can only see that the mouth of the well is large. It is used as a metaphor and satirical for those who are superficial in knowledge and narrow-minded.

What I want to tell you through this story is not to be complacent, limit your knowledge and vision, but to improve yourself all the time.

For example, establish the concept of lifelong learning, go to big cities more, and get in touch with some new things. The same is true for countries, and closing the country is never the best policy.

Extended Material: Sitting in a Well and Watching the Sky Text:

The frog sits in the well. The bird flew and landed on the edge of the well.

The frog asked the bird, "Where are you from?" ”

"I came from heaven and flew more than a hundred miles, and I was thirsty, so I came down and got some water to drink." ”

The frog said, "Friend, don't talk big! The sky is only as big as the wellhead, do you need to fly so far? ”

The bird said, "You're mistaken. The sky is boundless, and it's so big! ”

The words of the little bird are more reasonable, the little bird stands high, sees many things, flies in the air, sees a lot, and understands things comprehensively. And the frog just blindly stays at the bottom of the well, and what he sees is always the world at the mouth of the well.

If one day, the frog jumps out of the well, it will see that the sky is as boundless as the bird says, and there is no end in sight.

It will say, "Ah, the sky is really boundless!" "It will go to the bird and say to it

Thank you, birdie, if you hadn't told me, I'm afraid I'd be wrong like this forever. "Later, he would become good friends with the bird, go to live a good life, and play with the bird instead of going to the lonely well.

You will see that the sky is boundless and big, just like the bird said, and the frog will find the bird and say, "I'm sorry, I said it wrong." The bird said, "It's okay." ”

The frog jumped out of the well, and when it looked up, the sky was really big and boundless. When he looked around, he saw how beautiful it was outside! Everywhere there are bright flowers, green meadows, tall trees, many small birds chirping in the branches, bees and butterflies dancing among the flowers.

The frog said, "It turns out that I was really wrong!" ”

This parable illustrates a profound truth through the argument between the frog and the bird about the size of the sky: to see problems and understand things, to stand tall and see comprehensively. You can't be like a frog and make mistakes and be self-righteous.

The frogs and birds in the well are both right and wrong.

Truth in this world is described by words and words, like a pony crossing a river.

Again, there is no absolute standard for whether the water is deep or shallow.

For the frog's insight and ability, the sky is the wellhead is big, he can't jump out, and he can't see other heavens, why not just take what he sees at the wellhead as the sky? Is it the sky as far as the bird's eye can see? You need to know that there is a sky outside the sky!

Rather than going beyond my ability to see the world so big, I want to go and see, it is better to take the wellhead as the sky, intensively cultivate on my own land, and be the king.
