There is a story telling of a religious master allegedly capable of moving mountains.A man came to him asking for a demonstration. The master sat in front of a mountain for a moment, then went to the other side of it and declared the end of the demonstration. All the audiences were greatly puzzled and begged him for an explanation. He said:“There has never been a way of moving mountains; what you can do is to go to the mountain if it doesn’t come.”
One of my friends, though with the makings of a merchant, was bent on being a painter. He resigned from office and devoted himself entirely to painting at home. Several years, however, saw no progress in this regard.
A painful retrospection brought him to his senses. He made up his mind to take up business in place of painting. It took him only a few years to become a rich businessman. Meanwhile he spent his spare time swapping experience and skills in painting and calligraphy. His works finally won acclamation by expert painters and were on sale in art gallery and grand hotels. He had his collections published and his dream of becoming a painter came true at last.
Everybody sets up a coordinate for his life and a target to struggle for. If the target is set in a wrong direction, he has to make a timely adjustment. If the coordinate is placed at a wrong position, it has to be moved to the right one. In the same manner, if one is confronted with something unchangeable, one has to change oneself first, and then to achieve an eventual change of the world around him.
