I will do my best(股肱之力)

I will do my best(股肱之力)

 

During China's Three Kingdoms period, China had three main kingdoms. Wei Kingdom, Wu Kingdom and Shuhan Kingdom.

 

The name of the king of Shuhan Kingdom is (Liu Bei). The name of the prime minister of the Kingdom of Shuhan is Zhuge Liang.

The two of them are 20 years apart in age. But the two of them have a very close relationship.

 

Liu Bei respected Zhuge Liang very much, because Zhuge Liang was wise and loyal.

Zhuge Liang respected Liu Bei very much because Liu Bei trusted him very much and gave him full authority.

 

In AD 223, before the 62-year-old Liu Bei died, at his bedside stood (Zhuge Liang) with his son and the most important ministers in the kingdom.

 

He said his last words to everyone.

 

He told his 16-year-old son.

You are very young, and when I die, you will inherit my throne.

You have to respect Zhuge Liang as you respect me.

If you have any questions, you should consult with him and listen to his advice.

You have to seriously learn how to run a kingdom.

 

He said to Zhuge Liang.

China is now split into three kingdoms, and your wisdom and talent are the highest among the leaders of these three kingdoms.

I believe that you will be able to fulfill the ideal that I wanted to unify the whole of China during my lifetime.

 

He said to his son again.

Your talent is relatively poor, and ruling the entire kingdom may be too much of a challenge for you.

If you are not qualified for this position, you hand over the throne to Zhuge Liang, I think he is a more suitable leader of the kingdom than you.

 

He said to Zhuge Liang again.

I believe that you will seriously train my son to be a good leader, but if he really has no way to be a good leader, when he hands over the throne to you, please take this important responsibility.

 

Zhuge Liang answered with tears in his eyes.

I believe your son will be up to this role, and I will do my best to assist him.

I will be loyal to our kingdom, and I will thank you to the death for your favor.

 

The literal translation of this idiom means the strength of the thighs and arms. This idiom is used to describe a person who does his best.

 

Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts do you have after listening to this story?

If you passed away today, who would you wish to be by your side? If you passed away today, would you regret that any of your dreams have not been fulfilled?

I hope this story will give you something new to gain.

股肱之力(I will do my best)


中國的三國時代,中國有三個主要的王國。魏王國、吳王國與蜀漢王國。

 

蜀漢王國的國王名字叫做(劉備)。蜀漢王國的宰相名字叫做(諸葛亮)

他們兩個人的年齡差了20歲。但是他們兩個人的合作關係非常的緊密。

 

劉備很敬重諸葛亮,因為諸葛亮很有智慧又很忠誠。

諸葛亮很尊敬劉備,因為劉備非常信任他並給他充分的授權。

 

西元223年,62歲的劉備臨終前,在他的床前,站著(諸葛亮)與他的兒子與王國內最重要的幾個大臣。

 

他對所有人說他的遺言。

 

他對自己16歲的兒子說。

你的年紀很輕,在我死後,你就會繼承我的王位。

你要像是尊敬我一樣的尊敬諸葛亮。

你如果有任何問題都要找他商量,並且要聽從他的意見。

你要認真學習如何管理一個王國。

 

他對諸葛亮說。

中國現在分裂成三個王國,你的智慧與才能是這三個王國中的領導人中最高的。

我相信你一定可以完成我生前想要統一全中國的這個理想。

 

他又對自已的兒子說。

你的天分比較差,治理整個王國對你而言可能是太大的挑戰。

如果你不能勝任這個職位,你就把王位交給諸葛亮,我認為他是比你更適合的王國領導人。

 

他又對諸葛亮說。

我相信你會認真的訓練我的兒子當好一個領導者,但是如果他真的沒有辦法成為一個好的領導者,當他把王位交給你的時候,請你一定要承擔這個重要的責任。

 

諸葛亮流著淚回答。

我相信你的兒子一定可以勝任這個角色,我會竭盡全力輔佐他。

我會對我們王國忠誠,我至死都感謝你的恩惠。

 

這句成語直譯的意思是大腿和胳膊的力量。這句成語被用來形容一個人竭盡全力。

 

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。

如果你今天過世,你會希望誰陪在你的身邊呢?如果你今天過世,你會遺憾你的那一個任何夢想尚未實現?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
