There is a fable that a teenager who wants to become famous as soon as possible worships a swordsman as his teacher. He couldn't wait to ask the master how long it would take to learn. The master replied, "Ten years." The boy asked how long it would take him to work day and night if he went all out. The master replied, "That will take thirty years." Teenagers still don't give up, desperately asking how long they have to practice. The master replied, "Seventy years."

Teenagers can be said to want to succeed as soon as possible at all costs, but why in the eyes of experts, the harder they work, the farther away from their goals? In my opinion, this is because its heart is completely occupied by the idea of being famous and successful, and there is no inner peace. There is nothing wrong with hard work, but the mentality of quick success and overnight fame will make people rush.

It's getting late, and an orange seller wants to walk to a city in front before the gate closes. The vendor asked a passer-by when he would arrive at the gate. Passers-by replied, "If you walk slowly, you can get there before closing the door." If you walk fast, you won't get there. "The vendor felt very strange. He didn't understand the passers-by and started on his way, but he walked too fast and knocked over the orange. He had to stop to pick up oranges all over the floor, and finally failed to get there before closing the city gate. The reason is that the peddler just wanted to get there quickly, and he didn't feel at ease, so that he finally knocked over the goods in a muddle.

It can be seen that if you are eager for success and impetuous, the simplest and most familiar things will be screwed up, not to mention challenging events.
