My professional skill is to kill dragons(屠龍之技)
(Zhuang Zhou) is one of the most famous
philosophers in Chinese history.
He wrote a story.
There is a person whose name is (Zhu
Pingman).
His father said to him.
I give you all my property
You should use the money to learn a skill.
As long as you have the skills˙, you can be
self-sufficient for the rest of your life.
He nodded.
He went everywhere looking for skills he
was interested in.
He feels that many skills are common.
A few months later, he heard that a master
had a particularly powerful skill,
This person's skill is to kill dragons.
He thought to himself.
Wow, this skill is really cool, barber,
chef, winemaker. These skills are very common.
I want to learn this skill.
Only in this way can others feel that I am
special.
He spent a lot of energy to find this
master.
He asked this master to accept him as his
apprentice.
The master saw his sincere attitude, so he
agreed.
He followed the master intently for three
years. He paid all his money to the master as tuition fees.
Three years later, he learned all the
skills of killing dragons very well.
The master said to him, you have learned
all my skills about killing dragons, and you can leave me.
He returned to the city happily.
But he encountered a fatal trouble.
He couldn't find a real dragon at all. All
the skills he learned did not have the opportunity to use at all.
This idiom describes a person with a very
special skill, but this skill is not practical at all.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Do you think the skills you are learning
are ordinary? Have you ever seen some ordinary people who have won the respect
of everyone because they have achieved the ultimate in a simple thing?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
屠龍之技(My professional skill is to kill
dragons)
(莊周)是中國歷史上最著名的哲學家之一。
他寫過一個故事。
有一個人，他的名字叫做(朱平漫)。
他的父親對他說。
我把我的所有財產都給你
你應該拿這些錢去學習一種技能。
只要你有技能˙，你一輩子的生活都可以自給自足。
他點點了頭。
他就到處去四處尋找他有興趣的技能。
他覺得很多技能都很普通。
幾個月後，他聽說有一個大師有一項特別厲害的技能，
這個人的這項技能就是會殺龍。
他心裡就想。
哇，這技能真的很酷，理髮師，廚師，釀酒師。這些技能都很普通。
我要學這一種技能。
這樣才可以讓別人覺得我很特別。
他就花了很多精神找到這個大師。
他拜託這個大師收他為徒弟。
這個大師看見他態度很誠懇，所以就答應他了。
他便專心的跟著這位大師學習了三年。他把他所有的錢都付給這位大師當學費。
三年後，他把所有殺龍的技巧都學得很純熟。
大師對他說，你已經學會了我所有有關殺龍的技巧了，你可以離開我了。
他很開心地回到城市中。
但他遇到一件致命的麻煩。
他根本找不到一隻真正的龍。他學習的所有技巧根本沒有機會使用。
這句成語形容一個人有一種很特別的技能，但是這技能根本不實用。
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。
你是否覺得你正在學習的技能很普通呢?你是否看過有一些很平凡的人，這些很平凡的人因為把一個簡單的東西做到極致，所以贏得眾人的尊敬呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
