famous general named (Yang Su).
His story is recorded in the history books.
He has a very bold personality and is very
generous to people.
He studied very seriously, his articles
were well written, and his handwriting was very beautiful.
His grandfather liked him very much, his
grandfather used to say to people in their family.
I think he will surpass all of you, none of
you can match him.
His father was killed in a war, but his
father was not given the attention he deserved.
So he fought against the then king for his
father's rights three times in a row.
Because of his resolute and unafraid
attitude, the king finally complied with his request.
The king also noticed him because of this.
Because his writing is very good, the king
will ask him to write some edicts.
Once he ghostwritten the edict, and he
wrote it quickly and well.
The king happily praised him.
You continue to work hard, and I will give
you a lot of money and a very high status.
He answered calmly.
I'm not eager to pursue money and status.
It's not the most important pursuit in my life.
But maybe money and status will come to me.
I wanted to refuse but couldn't.
This idiom means that a person does not
want to pursue money and status, but money and status come to him actively.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Will you eagerly pursue money and status?
You only see other people's money, but do you see his efforts?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.
富貴逼人(Money and status take the initiative
to come to me)
中國的北周王國有一個著名的大將軍，他的名字叫做(楊素)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他的個性非常的豪邁，而且對人非常的大方。
他非常認真地念書，他的文章寫得很好，他的字也寫得非常的漂亮。
他的祖父非常喜歡他，他的祖父常常對他們家族的人說。
我認為他的成就會超過你們所有人，你們沒有人可以比得上他。
他的父親在一場戰爭中殉國，但他父親沒有得到應有的重視。
因此他連續三次向當時的國王爭取他父親的權益。
由於他的態度堅決又毫不畏懼，所以國王最終答應的他的要求。
國王也因為這件事情注意到他。
因為他的文筆很好，所以國王有些詔書會請他代筆。
有一次他代筆寫詔書，寫得又快又好。
國王很高興的讚美他。
你繼續好好努力，我會給你極多的金錢與極高的地位。
他很冷靜的回答。
我並不會熱切地想追求金錢與地位。這不是我的人生中最重要的追求。
但是或許金錢與地位會主動來找我。我想拒絕卻沒有辦法。
這句成語的意思是一個人並不想追求金錢與地位，但金錢與地位主動地來到他身上。
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。
你會熱切地追求金錢與地位嗎?你只看見別人有錢，但你有看見他的努力嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
