You should spend most of your time on accumulating your abilities(厚積薄發)
(Su Shi) is the most outstanding writer and
poet in Chinese history.
He wrote a letter to his good friend. The
name of this good friend is (Zhang Hu).
The general content of this letter is as
follows.
I observed some farmers.
They will divide the land they own into
several blocks and then plant them in turns.
Their land will have time to rest so it
will continue to be fertile.
They will sow according to the solar terms,
and they will wait patiently until the rice is fully mature before harvesting.
Therefore, the quality of the rice they
harvest is very good and the quantity is large.
They have a good harvest every year.
We hope to get a good harvest, so we use
all the land for planting.
Our land has no time to rest, so it is
becoming barren.
We will plant seeds early in the solar
terms, and we will harvest the rice before it is fully mature.
But the quality of the rice we harvest is
very poor and the quantity is very small.
This result is exactly the opposite of our
expectations.
I got an insight from this matter.
If we want to achieve something in our
life, we should also learn from farmers who have good harvests.
I am the same as you, we both became famous
too early.
We were praised by many people too early,
so we ourselves felt that our ability was great, and we were proud and
complacent.
We hurried to show our existing knowledge,
we lack the patience to accumulate our abilities more deeply.
We should learn from those who are truly
accomplished.
We should devote more time to reading more
books and thinking deeply about the essence of these books.
We should spend more time on accumulating
our abilities. And perform appropriately when needed.
This idiom is used to remind us that we
have to accumulate more of our own abilities in ordinary days, so that we can
properly show it when we need it. .
Dear friend, how do you feel or think after
hearing this story.
Do you think filling up all the time in
your life is a good time management? Do you still maintain the habit of
learning after you work in the society?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
厚積薄發(You should spend most of your time on
accumulating your abilities)
(蘇軾)是中國歷史上最傑出的文學家與詩人。
他寫過一封信給他的好朋友。這個好朋友的名字叫做(張琥)。
這封信的大概內容如下。
我觀察到一些農夫。
他們會把自己擁有的土地分成幾個區塊然後輪流種植。
他們的土地會有時間休息所以持續保持肥沃。
他們會依照節氣播種，他們會耐心地等到稻米完全成熟之後才收割。
因此他們收成的稻米品質很好而且數量很多。
他們每年都有好收成。
我們希望可以得到好的收成，因此我們把全部的土地都拿來種植。
我們的土地沒有時間休息所以日漸貧瘠。
我們會在節氣前提早播種，我們會在稻米還沒有完全成熟的時候收割。
但是我們收成的稻米品質很差而且與數量很少。
這結果與我們的預期恰好相反。
我從這個事情得到一個領悟。
如果我們的一生要有所成就我們也學習那些有好收成的農夫。
我與你相同，我們都太早成名。
我們太早被許多人讚美，所以我們自己覺得我們的能力很棒，我們驕傲自滿。
我們急忙展現自已現有的知識，我們缺乏耐心去更深入的累積自已的能力。
我們應該學習那些真正有成就的人。
我們應該把更多時間放在閱讀更多的書籍上，並且深入的思考這些書中的精華。
我們應該把更多時間放在累積自己的能力上。並且在需要的時候適當的表現。
這句成語被用來提醒我們平常日就要多多積累自已的能力，才能夠在需要的時候適當的表現出來。。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的感受或有怎樣的想法呢。
你認為把生活中的所有時間填滿是不是一種好的時間管理呢?你出社會工作後是否還保持學習的習慣呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
