There was a young man who worshipped under a master and wanted to learn kung fu. But the master did not teach him, but only asked him to go to the mountains to herd pigs.
Every morning, he had to climb up the hill with the piglet in his arms, going up many slopes and crossing many ditches, and then bring the piglet back at night. The master's request to him was only that he was not allowed to put the pig down on the way.
The young man was dissatisfied, but he felt that this was the master's test for himself, so he did so. For more than two years, he carried the pig up the mountain every day.
Suddenly, one day, the master said to him, "Don't hold a pig today, go up the mountain and have a look!" ”
For the first time, the boy went up the mountain without holding a pig, and felt as light as a swallow, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have entered the realm of some kind of master.
Isn't it? The little pig has also grown from a few catties to more than 200 catties in two years.
Success is the result of accumulation. What this teenager did was to unconsciously achieve his goal of becoming a master bit by bit.
