You have to concentrate on one thing(專心致志)
During the Warring States Period in China,
a famous thinker (Mencius) was talking with one of his friends. The name of
this friend is (Gaozi).
(Gaozi ) Ask him.
You go to many kingdoms to promote your own
political ideas, hoping that these kings will govern their kingdoms with a kind
heart, but so far, all kings have not accepted your opinions.
What do you think is the problem?
(Mencius) answered.
Do you know how to play Go? Do you think
the rules of the game of Go are simple.
(Gaozi) said.
I know how to play Go. I think the rules of
Go are simple.
(Mencius) answered.
I agree with you.
There is a Go master in the Lu Kingdom, his
name is (Yiqiu). He is teaching two students how to play Go well.
The first student listened attentively
during class, and spent a lot of time reviewing after class.
The second student looked out of the window
during class, thinking in his heart that he would go out to play after class.
Which student do you think will have a
better learning effect?
(Gaozi) said.
Of course it is the first student.
(Mencius) answered.
In fact, most of us have similar IQs, but
the difference in learning attitudes can be huge.
These kings are not interested in the idea
of how to govern their kingdoms with a benevolent heart. I think this is the
biggest problem.
This idiom is used to describe a person
doing something very attentively.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
What are you most interested in? Is the
work you are doing now what you are most interested in?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
專心致志(You have to concentrate on one thing)
中國的戰國時代，著名的思想家(孟子)與他的一個正在朋友對話。這個朋友的名字是(告子)。
(告子)問他。
你到許多王國宣傳自己的政治理念，希望這些國王們用仁慈的心來治理他們的王國，但是到目前為止，所有的國王都不採納你的意見。
你認為問題出在那裡呢。
孟子回答。
你會下圍棋嗎?你認為圍棋的遊戲規則簡單嗎。
(告子)說。
我懂得下圍棋。我認為圍棋的規則很簡單。
(孟子)回答。
我認同你的說法。
魯王國有一個圍棋大師，他的名字叫做(奕秋)。他正在教導兩個學生如何把圍棋下好。
第一個學生在上課時很專心的聽講，下課後並花很多時間複習。
第二個學生在上課時眼睛看著窗戶外面，他心裡想著待會一下課就要出去玩。
你認為那一個學生的學習效果會比較好呢。
(告子)說。
當然是第一個學生啊。
(孟子)回答。
我們大部分人的智商其實都差不多，但是學習的態度差別可就大了。
這些國王對如何用仁慈的心來治理自己王國的這個觀念沒有興趣，我想這才是最大的問題啊。
這句成語被用來形容一個人非常專心地去做一件事情。
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。
你對甚麼事情最有興趣呢?你現在做的工作就是你最有興趣的事情嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
