You can achieve your goals as long as you want.(事在人為)
The Spring and Autumn Period in China,
about 494 BC.
There was a war between the Kingdom of Yue
and the Kingdom of Wu, and the result of this war was a disastrous defeat for
the Kingdom of Yue.
The name of the king of the Yue Kingdom is
(Goujian). He wanted revenge.
A very wise minister of their kingdom said
to him.
If you want to defeat the Wu Kingdom, you
must execute the nine strategies I have planned.
After listening, he felt that these
strategies were indeed feasible, so he implemented them one by one.
One of these nine strategies is to
strengthen the combat capability of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Yue.
He found the most powerful female swordsman
in the Yue Kingdom and asked her to teach the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom
swordsmanship.
He found the most powerful archer in the
Kingdom of Chu and asked him to train the soldiers of the Kingdom of Yue to
shoot arrows.
He said to the archer.
Your archery skills are so good, but I am
worried that the learning outcomes of these soldiers will not reach your level
of archery.
The archer said to him.
I'm pretty good at archery and the point is
I know how to break down and share those skills.
Trust me, as long as these soldiers are
willing to learn, they will succeed.
The result was as the archer said.
After three months, the archery skills of
all the soldiers had greatly improved.
This idiom means that as long as a person
tries his best to do one thing, the thing will be successful.

事在人為(You can achieve your goals as long as
you want.)
中國的春秋時代，大約在西元前494年。
越王國與吳王國發生了一場大戰，這場戰爭的結果是越王國慘敗。
越王國的國王名字叫做(勾踐)。他很想報仇。
他們王國有一個非常聰明的大臣對他說。
你如果想要打敗吳王國，你就必須執行我所策畫的九條戰略。
他聽完之後覺得這些戰略的確可行，所以他便逐條執行。
這九條戰略中的一條是要強化越王國的士兵的作戰能力。
他找了越王國中最厲害的女劍客讓她教導越王國的士兵們劍術。
他找了楚王國中最厲害的箭手讓他訓練越王國的士兵們射箭。
他對這位箭手說。
你的射箭技巧那麼好，但我擔心這些士兵們的學習成果，無法達到你這樣的射箭水準。
這位箭手對他說。
射箭的技巧我已經非常的嫻熟，而且重點是我知道該如何去分解並分享這些技巧。
你相信我，只要這些士兵們願意學，他們一定學得成。
結果如同這位箭手所說。
三個月後，所有的士兵的射箭技巧就全部大幅提升。
這句成語的意思是一個人只要盡全力去做一件事情，這件事情就一定會成功。
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。
你是否有想學習的技能嗎?你是否已經下定決心付諸行動去學習這項技能了呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
