不怕路途遙，就怕你堅持!!
.
從前有個年輕人，他想去遠方跟隨一位有名的大師學習，可是遲遲決定不了。
他的父親覺察到他的心情，就問他：「你為什麼猶豫不決啊？」
.
年輕人回答說：「我擔心我離開太遠，萬一您和母親生病了，我不能在身邊照顧您們。」
父親伸手指指窗外說：「你看大樹上的那隻大鳥，當小鳥長大一些的時候，大鳥就把小鳥踢出鳥窩。如果你在我跟前一直猶猶豫豫，我只能也把你踢出家門！」
.
年輕人還是猶豫不決：「學習的路途這麼遙遠，我怕路途艱險，還沒有到達，就碰上強盜或是誤入黑店……。」
.
父親說：「你再看天空中翱翔的大雁，從來沒有想過路途上會不會有暴風雨，所以不要為未來擔憂，如果你此刻不敢上路，就永遠看不到真正的未來！」
.
年輕人似乎堅定一些了，但還是有些擔憂。他弱弱地說：「我還怕我自己太笨，不能學有所成，會很丟人……。」
.
父親繼續鼓勵道：「你看池塘裡的王八（鱉），牠們一旦咬到什麼東西，就絕不鬆口，對自己堅持的東西鐵了心，從不輕易放棄。」
.
最後父親告訴他：「這個世界上聰明人很多，但是能將自己立下的目標堅持到底的人卻不多，真正成功的往往是那些一諾千金的人。所以堅定信念，就沒有什麼是學不好的。」
.
想獲得成功，需要一份勇氣和堅持。
尤其是當面對挫折和困境時，只有不畏艱難，堅定信念，不輕易放棄，才能達到成功的彼岸。
.
「心」是這個世界最難穩定的東西。
「禪修」就是要將最容易變化的東西，修成穩定。
一個「穩定、堅持」到最後的人，做任何事情就容易成就。

Worry not about the long journey. Persistence will bring you to your destination.
.
Once there lived a young man who wanted to travel to faraway lands to learn from a great Master. However, he remained undecided about making the trip.
Sensing the young man’s hesitation, his Father asked “Why have you not made up your mind?”
.
The young man replied “I am worried that if I am away and either you or Mother falls ill, I will not be around to look after you”.
Father pointed outside the window and explained “Look at that bird on the tree. When the chicks are grown, she will set them free from the nest. If you continue to hesitate, I will have to boot you from my house!”
.
The young man continues to hesitate “The road to travel is far and treacherous. I am worried that the journey will be difficult and I will meet with many obstacles”.
.
Father said with encouragement “Look up at the wild goose flying high up in the sky. He does not worry about meeting a storm during his flight. So do not worry needlessly about the future. If you do not start you journey, you will never know the real future”.
.
Although the young man was more determined after hearing his Father’s words, he still had some reservations. “I am worried that I am not smart and will not be a good learner. It will be so embarrassing if I fail”.
.
Father continues to encourage him “Look at the tortoise in the pond. When he latches onto something, he will never let go. Likewise, strengthen your resolve and do not give up easily!”
.
In his parting words, Father said “There are many smart people in this world but not many of them have the resolve to follow through with their commitments. The successful ones are those who are true to their words. So strengthen your resolve and nothing will be insurmountable”.
.
If you want to succeed, you will need courage and resolve. These are especially important when you are besieged with difficulties and obstacles. As long as you do not back down and stand firm to your beliefs, you will eventually emerge as the winner.
.
Your heart is the most difficult to hold steadfast.
Meditation is best suited for stabilizing such fluidity.
A person who is full of resolve and determination will always prevail and be successful in all his endeavors.
