A huge bird named Peng(鵬程萬里)
(Zhuang Zhou) is one of the most famous
philosophers in Chinese history.
He wrote a story.
There was a very huge bird in ancient
times, the name of this bird was (Peng).
When (Peng) stood on the ground, his body
was like a mountain, and his wings were like clouds on the mountain.
When (Peng) moved his wings, the wind that
rolled up was like a tornado.
He can fly up to 36,000 kilometers high.
(Peng) After bidding farewell to a sparrow
on the ground, he flew into the air.
(Peng) headed towards the south and flew to
the South Pole.
He feels very comfortable in South Pole.
The little sparrow on the ground thought to
himself.
I really don't understand why (Peng) wants
to leave here to the South Pole.
The height I fly is only tens of meters,
and the scope of my life will not exceed this woods.
But I live freely in this vast forest.
This forest is so good, but why (Peng)
wants to leave. Is the distant South Pole really better than this side?
(Zhuang Zhou) made his comment.
We should recognize the fact that each of
us is limited by our own status quo.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
has a huge ideal, but others cannot understand it.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
If you were that little sparrow, would you
envy (Peng)? If you were that (鹏), you can imagine
that in the eyes of a bigger bird, you might be like a little sparrow.
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
