Groping in secret(暗中摸索)
During the Tang Dynasty in China, there was
a famous minister named (Xu Jingzong).
There is a story about him in history
books.
He is very arrogant.
Once, a good friend of his introduced him
to some people at a banquet.
Not long after, when he met these people he
had just met, he had forgotten.
He asked the names of these people again.
These people felt that they were not
respected, so they were very angry.
After the banquet, his good friend told
him.
Your memory is too bad, I introduced you to
my friend at today's banquet, but you even forgot their name before the banquet
was over. This is rude.
He replied.
Your friends are just as ordinary as you,
so I can’t easily remember who they are.
If there is a celebrity at the banquet
today, even if I don’t know this celebrity, I will go in private to find out
who he is and what he looks like, and then I will firmly remember it.
This idiom means groping in secret.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
How do you evaluate him? Do you think it is
more important to know someone or to be someone that others want to know?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
暗中摸索(Groping in secret)
中國的唐王朝時代，有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做(許敬宗)。
歷史書中記載了一個他的故事。
他很傲慢。
有一次，他的一個好朋友在一場宴會中介紹他認識了一些人。
過了沒多久，他又遇到了剛才認識的這幾個人時，他竟然忘記了。
他又重新問一次這些人的名字。
這幾個人覺得不受尊重所以很氣憤。
宴會結束後，他的這個好朋友對他說。
你的記性是在太差了吧，我今天筵會中介紹你認識我的朋友，但是你竟然宴會尚未結束就忘記人家的名字。這太失禮了。
他回答。
你的朋友就跟你一樣都太平凡了，所以我不容易記得他們是誰啊。
如果今天宴會中有一個名人出現，我就算不認識這一個名人，也會私底下去打聽他是誰，他長甚麼樣子，然後牢牢記得啊。
這句成語的意思是暗中摸索。
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。
你如何評價他呢?你認為認識一個人與成為一個讓別人想要認識的人兩者那一項比較重要呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
