He was a leader of the Zhao family in the
Jin Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period in China.
The Jin Kingdom fell in 403 BC and the land
of the Jin Kingdom was divided into three parts.
The Zhao Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom and the
Han Kingdom were established on these three lands.
The 182 years from that year to 221 BC were
the most turbulent Warring States Period in Chinese history.
There is a story about him recorded in the
history books.
His father was an important nobleman in the
Jin Kingdom, and his father was a minister who wielded great power.
His mother is a foreigner, and because of
his blood relationship, he is often discriminated against and bullied by his
brother.
His father valued the brothers' education
and often spoke words of encouragement to them.
Once, his father called him and his brother
to him.
His father took out two bamboo boards and
gave them to the two brothers. There were many words written on these two
bamboo boards.
His father said to the two brothers.
On these bamboo boards are written some of
the most important maxims that have influenced my life. I am now handing these
maxims over to you.
I want you to cherish them for the rest of
your lives.
They said to his father.
We will always keep these important maxims
in our hearts.
One day, three years after that incident,
his father suddenly remembered it.
His father called him and his brother.
His father spoke to his brother first.
A few years ago I gave you a bamboo board.
On that bamboo board were written some of the most important maxims in my life.
Can you recite to me the maxims written on that bamboo board?
His brother replied embarrassed.
I lost the bamboo board you gave me a long
time ago, and I have completely forgotten what was written on it.
His father was very angry when he heard his
brother's answer.
His father asked him next.
What about you? Do you still have the
bamboo board I gave you? Can you recite the life maxims written on the bamboo
board?
He nodded and immediately recited all the
life maxims written on the bamboo board.
Then he took the bamboo board out of his
pocket and said to his father
For the past few years I have been looking
at this bamboo board every day. These words are engraved in my heart and I will
never forget them.
His father was very happy to hear his
answer.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Did your father ever give you these maxims?
Did something happen between you and your father that made a deep impression on
you?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.

他是中國的春秋時代，晉王國中的趙家族的一個領導者。
晉王國在西元前403年滅亡，晉王國的土地被分割成三塊。
這三塊土地上分別成立了趙王國與魏王國與韓王國。
從這一年開始到西元前221年的這182年，就是中國歷史上非常動亂的戰國時代。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他的父親是晉王國的一個重要的貴族，他的父親是一個掌握了極大權力的大臣。
他的母親是外族人，因為他的血統關係，所以他常常被他的哥哥歧視與欺負。
他的父親很重視他們兄弟的教育，他的父親常常會對他們說一些勉勵的話。
有一次，他的父親把他與他的哥哥叫到自己的面前。
他的父親拿出兩塊竹板交給他們兩個兄弟，這兩塊竹板上面寫了很多字。
他的父親對他們兩個兄弟說。
這塊竹板上，寫了影響我這一生最重要的一些人生箴言，我現在把這些人生箴言交給你們。
你們要把這這些人生箴言一輩子都記在心中。
他們對他的父親說。
我們會把這些重要的人生箴言永遠牢記在我們的心中。
這件事情過了三年後，有一天，他的父親突然想到這件事情。
他的父親把他與他的哥哥叫到自己的面前。
他的父親先對他的哥哥說。
我幾年前給過你一塊竹板，那塊竹板上寫了響我這一生最重要的一些人生箴言，你可以背誦那塊竹板上寫了人生箴言給我聽嗎?
他的哥哥很羞愧地回答。
你給我的那一塊竹板我很久以前就弄丟了，我已經完全忘記那塊竹板上面寫的人生箴言。
他的父親聽到他哥哥的回答後非常的生氣。
他的父親接著問他。
那你呢?我給你那塊竹板還在嗎?你可以背出那塊竹板上寫的人生箴言嗎?
他點點頭後立刻把那塊竹板上寫的所有人生箴言都背誦出來。
他接著從口袋中拿出那塊竹板，他對他的父親說。
這幾年來，我每天都會看一次這塊竹板，這些人生箴言我已經牢牢地記在我的心裡，我一輩子都不會忘記。
他的父親聽到他的回答後非常的高興。
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。
你的父親曾給你那些箴言嗎呢?你跟你的父親之間，有發生過那些令你印象深刻的事情嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
