I can teach you to be better (百發百中)


I can teach you to be better  (百發百中)

In the Spring and Autumn Period of China, there was a famous archer in the Kingdom of Chu. His name was (Yang Youji).

In one match, he made three consecutive arrows and hit three designated willow leaves standing 100 steps away.

The onlookers all praised loudly.

At this time, someone said to him. Your archery skills are great, but I can teach you to be better.

(Yang Youji) laughed.

But this person didn't care about (Yang Youji)'s reaction, he continued.

Your archery skills have indeed reached a perfect level, so I will not teach you archery.

But have you thought about it, you may be able to shoot 100 arrows in a row, and each arrow hits the target.

But can you shoot 1000 arrows continuously without making mistakes?

Your physical strength cannot always be at its peak, and you will eventually make mistakes.

By that time, people will only remember your mistake this time, and will not remember your countless previous successes.

So what I want to teach you is that you must learn to maintain a humble attitude.

After (Yang Youji) heard this, he bowed his head and thanked the man for his guidance.


This idiom is used to describe archery or shooting is very accurate, hitting the target every time.
It is also used to describe a very absolute grasp of a thing.

Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or ideas do you have after listening to this story?

After you have succeeded in succession, do you stay alert? Can you maintain a humble attitude when you succeed?

I hope this story will give you some new gains.

百發百中 (I can teach you to be better.)

中國的春秋時代,楚王國有一個著名的神箭手,他的名字叫做(養由基)

他在一次的比賽中,連續三箭,射中了站在距離100步的之外、三片指定的柳葉。

圍觀的群眾都大聲的讚美。

這時候卻有一個人對他說。你的射箭技術很棒,但我可以教你變得更好。

(養由基)就大笑。

但這個人不在乎(養由基)的反應,他接著說。

你射箭的本領,的確已經達到了完美的境界,所以我不教你射箭。

但你有想過嗎,你也許可以連續射100箭、而且每一箭都命中目標。

但你可以連續射1000箭都不失誤嗎。

你的體力不可能永遠處於顛峰,你終究還是會失誤。

而到那個時候,人們只會記得你的這一次失誤,而不會記得你之前無數次的成功。

所以我要教你的是你必須學習保持謙卑的心態。

(養由基)聽了這一番話以後,他便低著頭感謝這個人的指導。

這個成語用來形容射箭或射擊非常準確,每次都命中目標。
也被用來形容對一件事情非常絕對的把握。

親愛的朋友,你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。

當你在連續的成功之後,你有保持警醒嗎?你在成功的時候可以保持謙卑的心態嗎?

我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
