第149期:你路上的絆腳石
路上有障礙，你會怎麼做？看看這個故事給我們的啓發吧。
The Obstacle in our Path
There once was a very wealthy and curious king. This king had a huge boulder placed in the middle of a road. Then he hid nearby to see if anyone would try to remove the gigantic rock from the road.
The first people to pass by were some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers. Rather than moving it, they simply walked around it. A few loudly blamed the King for not maintaining the roads. Not one of them tried to move the boulder.
Finally, a peasant came along. His arms were full of vegetables. When he got near the boulder, rather than simply walking around it as the others had, the peasant put down his load and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. It took a lot of effort but he finally succeeded.
The peasant gathered up his load and was ready to go on his way when he saw a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The peasant opened the purse. The purse was stuffed, full of gold coins and a note from the king. The king’s note said the purse’s gold was a reward for moving the boulder from the road.
The king showed the peasant what many of us never understand: every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
我們路上的障礙
從前有一個非常富有，好奇的國王。這國王把一塊巨石放置在路中間。然後他躲在附近看看是否有人會試圖把石頭從路上挪開。
第一批經過的人是國王最有錢的商人和朝臣。他們繞開石頭走而沒有把它移開。有幾個人大聲指責國王沒有維護好路。他們當中沒有一個人試圖把石頭挪開。
最後，一個農民走了過來。他的手上滿是蔬菜。當他靠近巨石時，不是像其他人那樣繞開它走，農夫放下擔子，試圖把石頭挪到路邊。他費了很大力氣，終於成功了。
農夫收拾起行李，準備上路了，這時他看見原來巨石底下原來有一個錢包。農民打開錢包。錢包裏裝滿了金幣，還有國王的一個字條。國王的字條上說，錢袋的黃金是把巨石從路上挪走的獎賞。
國王向農民展示了我們許多人所不理解的倒立：每一個困難與障礙都是改善我們的狀況的機會。
