Waiting For The Rabbit |
During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476BCE), there was a farmer in the state of Song.
One day, this farmer saw a rabbit running wildly in the farm and collided onto a tree stump and died.
The farmer was so happy and took that as an accidental gift. He took the dead rabbit back to roast and had a great meal.
Next day, he put down all his equipments and stopped farming. He just sat by the tree stump throughout the day, waiting for the rabbit to collide into the stump again, hoping for another great roasted rabbit meal.
One day... two days... ten days passed by.
Nothing happen, of course.
One month... two months passed by.
The farmer never see another rabbit colliding into the tree stump. And the worst was, his farm became unfertile and grew wild grasses instead.
| Lesson To Be Learned: |
| Luck seldom happen twice. Depending solely on luck for one's life is just like the farmer waiting for another rabbit to run into the tree stump. Get real! Act. Don't wait. Only through one's diligence and hard work can one be successful and comfortable. |
